If someone makes a fantasy China, I expect it to be a fantasy China. Not "We've made Samurai, Bushi and Yakuza all classes, trust me, its totally China". Regardless, a low-fantasy land has no business being tacked on at the other side of one of the highest fantasy settings out there. I'd expect...

While I do understand some of the drive, I gotta disagree on one of these places. Max, let's be honest. You could undoubtedly make a better Kara Tur than either WotC or TSR ever did and, well, they're never going to touch Kara Tur again with a ten foot pole because that place is downright...

Going off this though, simply due to it being the most well known Planescape related thing, you'd want to spend most of your stuff going off that. And, well.... Planescape: Torment took place mainly in Sigil with a bit in a border town and two brief little sojurn in actual planes, namely Avernus...

I found this one on Reddit absolute ages ago that I was quite taken with given it was inspired by various groups of rats IRL There's also a lot of Mousefolk ones out there, but, Mousefolk and Ratfolk got their own vibes

They're honestly filling the human niche of all things, being the "Relatively young race who's just sort of shown up recently and is starting to make an impact on the world". But, yeah, they have elf vibes Humans in GW2 meanwhile are filling the "Last members of an ancient almost-lost...

Does that make homebrew and Level Up like those weird occaisonal bootlegs that ended up inspiring the devs to make a faster version of the game? :p

The Sylvari are a bucnh of humanoid plant people who are grown from an ancient, sapient tree that gives them a linked inter-connectedness to said tree. They're not really born so much as all pop out of pods from this tree, where they all have a big ol' inter-connected dream world while they grow...

This reminds me, aren't there technically semi-canon greys in D&D lore due to the Alternity conversions back in Dragon? I forget what Alternity called its Greys, but they had 2E stats for 'em

Aside from my vague want for a new Warcraft edition, let's just go for the crazies with absolutely no chance of happening. Andalites, Hork-Bajir and Taxxons. If you know, you know.

The druid's had shapeshifting for all 5 of those past 5 editions. It isn't a new thing, and 3 of those editions its been a major druid feature, for at least those specialised into it. The wider RPG zeitgeist equates druid with turning into animals. That's just, the big thing for them at the...

Eh, I'd argue the other: Nerf the casting and go more in on the shapeshifting. Shapeshifting is The druid thing these days and what people will be drawn to the class to do. Sure, nature magic is important, but shapeshifting is of equal importance. People want to specifically be a creature and be...

Not even in the fun way like that Michaelsoft Binbows was (the funny internet image that was actually a cheap PC parts store in Japan. "Binbo" means "Cheap")

As long as polymorph can do the whole "Dive into every source you have to transform an opponent", Druid has to have something comparable. The class that goes all in on shapeshifting should always be the best shapeshifter

There's enough stories like that around I've heard it said, plus the absolute classic from Dragon magazine of that guy who killed most everyone in Oerth and wanted to know how much XP he got from the murders. But XP specifically comes from those things then leads to this thing where, yeah, first...

I'm going to argue against this because, Risky Mission B is as much of a milestone as Risky Mission A is. Someone applying it as milestone XP should be giving it on both situations, not just situation A. How is that a hard-coded milestone? DM just goes "Yeah, you've completed the appropriate...

Just on the templates questions, my issue with it isn't the templates. My issue with it is the entire existence of Polymorph, which we haven't seen any real discussion on so far and if its staying, is still the "Scour the monster manual for ways to trap your opponents or buff your friends" it...

Plus like.... If we're talking 5E, the only thing that's debatably unbalanced player race wise is Yuan-Ti and that's due to the whole "resist every magic spell in the game" thing they got going on What little Con boost you'd get from a dwarf isn't really doing much for a wizard simply due to...

The Warcraft RPG, of all things, had this thing were certain atypical choices, like Abominations (Warcraft's flesh golems) or Ancients (Treants) had a seperate class that gave them the bits and bobs of their archetype, before switching into something else Mind, it did have the problem of being...

Honestly, I don't reckon it'd be as bad as witch simply due to the fact there's a wider idea that's sort of taken place. As compared to witch which, even in D&D, had like.... What, four versions back in Dragon? Shaman was basically a hybrid monk/druid in 3E, semi-druid in 4E, and a worse cleric...

I've gotten much more fond of it these days. The wrong D&D won back in 1E.... On the Dryad thing, I'd see them as being part of a larger Nymph race so we can get the other options as, honestly, Dryads don't really do the 'plant' thing all that much sometimes compared to their general nature...
