I mean, frankly, the issue is they shouldn't have made the PDK a class to begin with back in 3E and should have just made it a title you can get as a paladin or something. Its never worked, not once. 3E's is so terrible that, even in Neverwinter Nights, an engine that smooths over a lot of the...

Flumph lore gives you ideas on how to use the creature, worldbuilding ideas to use in your game, ideas for a setpiece your players can stumble into and go "Huh, cool, this is a neat thing as we help these weird jellyfish things who have been feeding off the psionic emninations of THE ENTITY and...

As someone who was introduced to the PDK in Neverwinter Nights, I don't understand why it even exists as a option. Its just an order of knights, yet it keeps coming back as a seperate class or subclass Back in Neverwinter Nights, the PDK was, genuinely, the worst class in the game. And this is...

A real life rex is only around 12-13 ft tall so being a whole 10 feet taller but weighing less sounds more like issues with giant weight Whales get way bigger than that (comparable to the largest sauropods) but they're not in giant, always been in animal.

Nah, dinosaurs are just average creatures. Vast majority of them aren't giant anyway. Your average Velociraptor is only about the size of a turkey after all, and even ones we generally associate with being huge like the Tyrannosaurus are still dwarfed by your average D&D giant

Fey stuff is widely gaining in popularity and it wouldn't be the first thing D&D grabbed from outside sources. You can see Spelljammer was released around when anime was gaining in popularity due to it having Guyvers and Aura Battlers, for example D&D's always been moved by pop culture, and...

To drag things back from alignment Generally D&D's been pretty low with actually hostile Fey creatures. The closest have been Fomorian which, well, haven't been treated as Fey, they've always been Giants, and Hags haven't been Fey for the longest time either. More things under the Fey label...

They turned up in Warcraft once as just a 'yup, we're doing a Joust reference' series of quests, so they really just fit anywhere guys flying around on bird things can fit

I found an entire of Monster Hunter inspired creatures and just regularly use them with new names. I've also intended to drag Seekers from Ark into things once or twice, good ol' light-eating bat-squids they are and all, but haven't really had the chance

Race is the wrong term ever since Tieflings came along back in original Planescape in 1994, who are pointedly not a race. The term has been wrong for over 30 years. Generally speaking any time "Random feature table" comes out you're more "Random by-product of your history" and not a race by any...

Capybaras are very different to hamsters Also if you look at a platypus' skeleton any notion its a chimaera falls right away. They're just weirdos

We have void orcs. They're the Pale from Warlords of Draenor But they also come in a few other colours. While the mag'har are normally brown, there's a few grey examples of them due to hanging out in mountains, most notably the Blackrock clan (who also get firey red eyes in some cases) and...

The monk was never real kung fu though? Its wuxia, the fantasy stuff Real necromancy, pyromancy, geomancy doesn't exist but it doesn't mean you strip all that out from wizards, same with psionics not existing IRL but psions being popular

There's that one by Eberron's creator which is as close to official as you can get at the moment

The ninja is hardly the most unrealistic part of that given ninjas and knights existed at the same time. Frankly the actual issue you have is the lack of guns. Going around the world with a weird party is basically half of a D&D campaign and a ninja teaming up with a Chinese swordswoman, a...

"Species" is a scientific term that falls apart due to its lack of a real definition in real life, yet alone trying to use it for fantasy Plus, well, it doesn't even encapsulate most of the races. Aasimar, tieflings and genasi aren't species, for example, and yet they're treated like one Race...

Completely fair, but I got into it around 3E or so, around the period of World of Warcraft's beta. Given what a powerhouse Warcraft has been in pop culture, I suspect folks from around that same era are way more used to orcs just being a regular race

I mean, as World of Warcraft kind of showed, orcs are easily popular enough to be a core race But D&D decided to have half orc as a thing ages ago, was always a weird look, and now we got orcs proper finally.

Its certainly one, though I've always used a certain other incredibly dumb one due to the Transformers afflicted brain of mine

Yeah, the original version of the Illrigger, while pretty popular, had a lot of balance issues I haven't heard too many opinions on the updated one since, so I'm not fully aware how it was received
