From reading this, it specifically says flying speed is reduced to 0. The "(if any)" means that if it doesn't have a flying speed, it becomes unaffected by this spell. If it would affect any speed, I am pretty sure the spell would say "The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw, or its...

Everyone has to buy in to a concept for any of it to be interesting. Players really want to play a pirate-themed game, but the DM hates pirates? Then a new DM will need to be found, or one of said players needs to step into the DM role. The DM is really into a political intrigue game while the...

I use a modified Great Wheel. Though my "feywild" and "shadowfell" are changed into elemental planes. Where the Feywild is located, it is replaced by a plane of light, and the Shadowfell is just the plane of shadow. The positive and negative energy planes are also elemental planes, and are...

I prefer homebrew settings. I have been working on my own since 2003 (15 years come this October) and has gone through many revisions (from 3.0 to 3.5 to Pathfinder to 5e; and don't get me started on the world map...), though sadly I haven't been able to have any games done in it (maybe a total...

My elves aren't magical, more nature-focused instead of arcane-focused. They also have German accents (and elvish is german). My elves are descendants of my race of plant people who mated with fey beings. My dwarves are a bit standard, though they have Nordic accents and names. They have a...

Depends on what's causing the damage. A weapon? I say something like "You hit the creature with your greataxe, but it feels like the creature shrugged some of it off/absorbed a lot of the blow", or something like that. Slashing and bludgeoning are similar, but with piercing, I'll go with "It...

I have no problem having my primary stat at 16 or 18. I feel no pressure to get it to 20 ASAP. I also don't pick my race based on if it gives me a + to my primary stat. I go in with a concept, pick the race that best fits that concept (though I usually have the idea that I want to play a gnome...

I have a total of 14 playtest packets. They are May 25th, August 17th, October 29th, November 13th, and December 17th of 2012; January 28th, March 20th, April 1st, April 11th, June 7th, June 14th, August 2nd, September 19th, and October 25th of 2013. I don't know if there were any others, but...

I liked the ability score increases from the classes, and have implemented them in my setting (while removing the ones from the races). There were class features that got removed that I thought weren't too bad. Can't remember exactly what they were.

This interests me greatly. I haven't looked at the site just yet, but a place for 5e OGL stuff sounds good. The selection on DTRPG is abysmally small. I wish you guys luck in this, and hope that it succeeds and does provide competition in this area. Trying to go up against a giant nowadays can...

I have 3 PWYW products up on the DMs Guild, all dealing with elementals. The first one, called Lesser Elementals, was added on February 24, 2016. I made the suggested price of $1.00. In the 3-ish weeks it has been there, it has been downloaded 204 times, with 14 people actually paying money for...

I have made 3 monster "books", with 3 more in the works. I haven't included any previews for any of them, as I wasn't sure how exactly that worked. However, in the product description, I listed exactly what was in the product, minus the monster names. But if you are familiar with the type of...

I haven't bought much of anything on there, mostly just a few PWYW and free monsters and a couple races, as those are what I have been interested in most. Many have been of so-so quality. Seeing the "Best Sellers" part almost never change is annoying (though a couple new ones have popped up...

I submitted an item to them last week as well. The spreadsheet hasn't been updated with a "Pending" on that item, nor have I gotten a response or anything. Either they are really swamped, or something else. Would be nice to get some update.

It does look Ravenloft-y, but it won't be set in Ravenloft. Oh, there will be bits in the back of the book on how to set it in Ravenloft, as well as other settings (including homebrew), but this adventure will be set in the Sword Coast region of Faerun, just like the last 3. Tyranny of Dragons...

First, thanks for the reply, though not exactly what I was looking for. And by that, I mean something more constructive. Now to address some of the points. I admit some of it is my fault, for not exactly saying why I did some of these changes. Why call dragonborn "kobolds"? For one, dragonborn...

Ok, so back in May of this year (2015), I posted up a homebrew gnome subrace. Since then, I have been working on my races a bit more, whenever my limited time allows it. Was hoping the people here would be able to provide me some feedback to help balance these a bit better (if they are out of...

In my Pathfinder write-up, I gave them dealing damage as if they were Medium sized, instead of Small sized, since Small weapons dealt less; the half-orc's Ferocity ability; and the ratfolk's Swarming ability, plus all the non-illusion-based abilities of the base Pathfinder gnome. Since the...

Mountain dwarves get light and medium, and +2 Str. The removal of disadvantage from heavy weapons was to reflect their more military culture, focusing on warfare. Though, in my setting, they live right alongside the rock gnomes. I tried to compare them to the dwarves, and more specifically, the...

Looking for some constructive criticism on a bit of homebrew. I have been working on a homebrew setting since 2003, and am in the process of converting things into 5th edition D&D. One such thing is a subrace of the gnome. After so many years of the old illusionist trickster gnome who wants to...
