I have long ago described the different tiers of play as such to my players: Tier 1 (1-4th level): Game of Thrones or any other fantasy one would describe as "gritty" The characters are suicidal if they try to fight a high level fantastical threat without major help (usually in the form of...

Personally in my games I just have either Elemental Adept add treating immunity as resistance if taken as a feat, or if I have such a strong elemental themed character I just consider giving them a magic item that let's then treat immunity as resistance and by spending charges on the item (like...

Objectively I feel the alternative class variants already linked previously do largely address the concerns of the base class. In regards to beastmaster, it is less an issue of the pet's damage and action economy being complicated and more an two different issues of preference and performance...

To address your point directly: I actually question how many designers there are left that the Greyhawk fans would actually trust that WoTC could actually hire. I hate to keep calling out the passage of time but I don't imagine that is a large pool to draw from, particularly from a business...

Well, for starters, you need to have them figure out that unfortunately a growing number of them frankly just a) simply do not care about Gary Gygax or b) his style of games. My players LOATHE dungeon crawls and have outright told me that they never want to run one without an actual reason for...

To be perfectly frank, the first thing I'd do if I wanted to make dnd 5e "crunchier" and ensure that a) meaningful choice happens every level and b) multiclassing is not just 100% more optimal is to remove classes period. Give each character a set package of "perks" (call them whatever you want)...

Ankheg 21 Behir 24 Bulette 11 +1 = 12 - Lard sharks are apparently now an endangered species. Got to do my part. Carrion Crawler 19 Catoblepas 18 Displacer Beast 20 Froghemoth 20 - 2 = 18 - Never understood why people like this monster.

The problem with making it a feat is that it would undoubtably become a feat tax due to being too universally good for every spellcaster not to take. I'd suggest keeping it to either a varient ruling, or in the realm of magic items. Something I've consider in the past is allow a second...

I agree that giving them martial weapon proficiency would be odd. If one wishes to slightly buff them the easy option would be give them deception proficiency or even expertise in it. Another option to consider: When I had a trickery cleric in my game, I gave letting him switch the channel...

Honestly the only time speed really becomes a huge factor is in any sort of chase scenario, where a difference in movement speed drastically effects whether or not a target can get away or not. In any situation rogues already have the ability to dash as a bonus action anyway, so let her do as...

Cool. Now do this with the Acid Dragon sorcerer or literally ANY OTHER sorcerer subclass. I'm so freaking tired of every damned sorcerer discussion turning into "fire sorcerers, devine souls, and shadow sorcerers are fine so therefore there is nothing wrong!" It is insufferably predictable and...

A lot of it also has to do with the function of religion in early societal development as well, particularly in the context of how each culture was in a different environment geographically speaking. The groups of people we collectively label under the "Norse" umbrella had very harsh...

This, combined with with the post regarding needing computers to run it are the main reasons why I prefer D&D 5e over Pathfinder. There are certainly elements that I miss (god I miss channel energy, animal companion rules, and some of the fine tuning for characters), and as a player I sort of...

Legally speaking, it came from the Geneva Convention at the end of World War I, which specifically bans the use of several uses of what was collectively viewed as horrific acts of dishonor and disrespect on the warfront, including things like biological/chemical weapons, killing prisoners that...

I am going to agree with the others in this thread whom have claimed that killing prisoners that have surrendered after you have promised to let them go if they give you information is evil. Specifically Chaotic Evil. We literally have international laws that are designed to prevent such actions...

I thought that's what you meant, but for some reasons I was convinced if you meant them you'd have called them either elder evils. Damn I wish I could sleep.

So I like the idea, but my brain is not quite functioning it seems due to insomnia... "GOOs"?

So I believe I commented on this in the other thread you posted. While I'm struggling to find the exact handful of threads from a few years back, I did find this thread: https://www.enworld.org/threads/a-use-for-true-strike.671595/ that sort of hits on the same thing. It's a bit outside of my...

I could've sworn it was the other way around with reactions being resolved first unless it was phrased in a way that makes sense otherwise (like taking damage and casting Hellish Rebuke), as otherwise how could someone attack a person who moves out of reach if they are now some undefined...

A lot of this is why in my personal head cannon I like to portray Asmodeus as rather than being the supremely evil arch fiend who seeks to conquer all of existence and more of the (still evil but) flamboyant ruler who seeks not to actually end the war, but maintain the current status quo for the...
