I had Kord listed in the deity spot of my AL character sheet and referenced Kord during the game. No one said boo about it.

I didn't see anything in Volo's about orcish women rarely being warriors. In fact, it doesn't even talk about any sort of traditional gender roles. Volo's talks about how orcs don't take mates and regard mating as a mundane necessity with no other significance. Additionally, males and females...

WotC actually explored that feminine mindset in Volo's. There, they talked about the Gruumsh-Luthic tension as well as the Warlord-Orog tension. It goes on to explain how the feminine influence of Luthic is what counterbalances the masculine energy of Gruumsh, and it is that feminine influence...

I'm amazed how we still see this stuff here now that it is explicitly against forum rules.

Your lizardfolk cleric could have been schooled by a particularly charismatic missionary of another faith, someone intent on civilizing the "savage" lizardfolk.

It sounds like you're saying members of the camp should decide whether they're the Gladio, the Ignis, the Noctis, or the Prompto.

It's supposed to evoke the whole "would kill an innocent child if it meant you could save the souls of everyone trapped in Ravenloft?" Faustian bargain that is so prevalent in Ravenloft. It is largely a moot point, though. My group saw the shattered amber sarcophagus, searched it for treasure...

I don't imagine Barovia as a functioning world. I instead imagine it as a sort of quasi-dream designed to torture Strahd over and over again. In this way, I see Barovia as being similar to Westworld, where most of the NPCs you meet are really just hosts designed to further this eternal torture...

Why even change the rules? Why not simply change the name of the Triton to Siren and call it a day? If she wants to have voice powers, the bard already offers this (both with musical magic and expertise in persuasion and performance).

Sheesh, you guys; there are plenty of ways to make a barbarian interesting without refluffing a barbarian into something rageless. If it helps, try to imagine a barbarian of each of the PHB's backgrounds. Map out how a noble barbarian might be different from a charlatan barbarian or a sage...

There's always Soup Cage.

Its face looks like a cacodemon from Doom. Was Doom the inspiration for this or was it the other way around?

The Battlemaster is already a pretty good fit for a sumo. It combines the study of a combat science/art with a more worldly knowledge of a courtly custom. Failing that, the Open Hand tradition also works. In fact, a sumo very much seems like a fighter monk multiclass.

For those interested, I've finally completed work on this Primal Path. http://www.dmsguild.com/product/239278/Path-of-the-Gloambound

Add me to the "Just make it do 2d6 damage" club.

Pick the disease in the DMG that most closely matches Rabies. This is not that hard, people.

I've been letting my players use their passive skill checks as a sort of ersatz Take 10 in low-pressure situations. That's one way to incorporate the bonus from Observant.

My current character is a high elf barbarian with a strength of 15 and a dexterity of 14.

I like the idea of making all weapons Finesse, but downgrading the damage by one point per damage die (or lowering every damage die by one step) when used in this manner.
