    D&D General Has anyone tried removing humans from the game?

    Occasionally I try to convince my party that, due to human's ability to successfully have offspring with other sentient races, there aren't any "human" humans anymore, but all humans have a little bit of some other race/type of creature in them (usually a lot of little bits, but only one...

    D&D General A Gruumsh Of A Different Type

    I have been pondering borrowing an idea from the Malazan books, that most of the (elder) gods aren't evil until their worshippers make them evil. And when your worshippers totally screw you up, you go from being a god to being a demon lord. Poor Gruumsh was an okay dude until he fell in with...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Statblocks for D&D's Kobolds

    As long as Bob, the Kobold warlord who is going to sacrifice 20 widows and orphans to unleash the demon lord of bed bugs on the world, still gets an alignment, I don't care so much if a generic kobold has one. If they are going to do this, I would like some more blatantly evil NPC classes, like...

    D&D General A Gruumsh Of A Different Type

    In my setting, Gruumsh's portfolio is basically "toughness." He is actually LN with evil tendencies since, to be a respectable follower of his, you need to display physical and and even more importantly mental "toughness." There is a fair bit of toxic masculinity in there (also toxic...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are "evil gods" necessary? [THREAD NECRO]

    I would say evil gods are necessary in settings where the gods are one big family to maximize the soap opera aspects and explain why the good gods haven't banded together to thump the bad gods. Sometimes there are mechanical differences between gods and demon lords/archdevils justify this (4e...

    D&D 5E (2014) New and Different Dragons! Forest/Green Dragon!

    And I am pretty sure the gnome dragon (Safari Ltd. - Gnome Dragon by Safari Ltd. 100068 - Dragons) is the source of the gnome/kobold feud. The desert dragon (Safari Ltd. - Desert Dragon by Safari Ltd. 10128 - Dragons) is totally epic.

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC's Jeremy Crawford on D&D Races Going Forward

    It seems pretty simple to me: in the 6e MM, throw in some evil human bandits, dwarf mercenaries, elf necromancers, etc. Then the orc raiders won't stand out. The MM gnolls could be "demon-touched gnolls" (ditto the large minotaurs), and they could be fiends. Sure in some places all the...

    D&D 5E (2014) New and Different Dragons! Forest/Green Dragon!

    I sympathize. D&D dragon chassis are pretty nice, but they do get overused. I am not so fond of flying swamp and forest dragons. For swamp, I would want some kind of super melee monster like the dragon version of the lovechild of an alligator and a snapping turtle. I have had bearded dragons...

    D&D 5E (2014) New and Different Dragons! Forest/Green Dragon!

    For a forest dragon, I would almost want to go full linnorn, with the wings almost vestigial*. I picture a really smart version of Kaa from the Jungle Book, camouflaged up to the end. I know everyone likes the damaging breath weapons, but some kind of fear or confusion gas (especially if it...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC Shares Theros Table of Contents

    I can't speak for anyone else, but "oath of glory" makes me think this paladin would be the "everyone stop fighting so you can watch me duel this other guy Achilles/Hector style" guy.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Multiverse

    I will stick with my idea from a previous thread. At some point, the MtG multiverse was part of the D&D multiverse and broke off. There were some demons (including at least one demon lord), angels, fey, and elementals in the part of the multiverse that broke off. Since archons are big part of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Applying Psionic Talent Dice to other classes

    Obviously the best psychic ranger will be the psychic animal companion. Slightly more seriously, the psychic die could determine how many actions the AC could do on its own without being commanded each round (1= move, 2=move and a reaction, 3=move, a reaction, and an action, 4=move, a reaction...

    D&D 5E (2024) Class features with drawbacks

    (off topic, sorry) In 6e, I would prefer races to give advantage on certain skill checks/saves instead of a bonus for racial stats. (back on topic) I would like 6e to have more "opt in" to high risk/high reward abilities options. Maybe frenzy could be a barbarian fighting style (of which...

    D&D 5E (2014) Applying Psionic Talent Dice to other classes

    For any sort of secondary caster (eldritch knight, paladin, etc.) I could see replacing set spell slots with a dice mechanism. You roll the die, and you can cast a spell of level equal to or lower than the number you roll (maybe treat cantrips as 1, 1st level spells as 2, etc. for eldritch...

    Unearthed Arcana Revived, Noble Genie and Archivist Revisited in UA

    I like the way they did the patron spells for the warlock. I think they maybe should have gone a little more wealth/slavery for the dao (more mental spells). Speaking of that, maybe it is just me, but genies seem more "cash up front" than we want your soul eventually fiends, we are playing a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Design a Goliath sub-race!

    Goliath, Forbidden Mountains (this is the Fomorian-linked subrace, I am open to other names): +1 to Int. (replaces con) Evil Eye (replaces mountains endurance): The goliath magically forces a creature it can see within 60 feet of it to make a Charisma saving throw. The DC for this saving throw...
