I love the one about not being allowed to cast guards and wards on the homes of people that annoy him.

Rich Burlew made a ton of different pixie miniatures that you print and fold into little tents, but as far as I can tell only people who backed his kick starter can download the miniature sets right now. If you're friends with anyone who reads Order of the Stick, try asking if they were a...

Don't get me wrong, I do believe a DM should say "yes, and..." as often as they can handle, because like improvised skits it's more interesting to build on what others try to establish in the scene than completely invalidate it. But in improv skits the power is equally distributed among each...

This series of LiveJournal posts, currently titled "2325 Things Mr. Welsh can no longer do in an RPG," is a hilarious list of things this one RPG player has tried to get away with (successfully, in some cases). I didn't realize it was still being updated until I saw references to 5e rules on the...

Well, say yes within reason, of course. Like everything else.

Here's the one I made. It's an extrapolation of the cleric hack Keith Baker posted.

Are things already in one of the databases here valid? Psion as Sorcerous Origin Overview This sorcerer subclass does a decent job replicating the abilities of 3.5e psions, with some additional thematically-appropriate features. In essence, it gives the sorcerer an Intelligence-based stealth...

So, what, we just add in house rules we've developed that other people might like? In that case... Alternate Rules For Unusual Combat Gear Cheaper Firearms & Explosives This variant adjusts the prices of Renaissance gunpowder-powered weapons to be more in line with regular weapon prices...

Where would I post something like that? I'm kind of new here, and I'm only aware of the fan content databases for subclasses, feats, spells, etc. This is literally a notecard with a table written on the back.

Well, I finally got the chance to try out some of the things I've been homebrewing, and now I'm refining them and inventing/building off of new features to add to the game. The biggest thing I did was try out my psion class (built as an INT-based sorcerous origin with invisible spells), which...

Flight's easy. Start the race off with a gliding ability, something like "when making a running long jump you can safely land on any surface within the rest of your movement that is at least 5 feet lower than the one you jumped from." Then let them have a fly speed at level 4 or 5, about when a...

I thought the complicated initiative variant would slow down the fights. It seemed obvious that adding an extra step to every round would take longer. But having tried it out, it has actually made combat not just faster, but more engaging! Before using this variant, every combat began with the...

You all seem to have the right idea. When thinking about how to role play your oath, you may want to think of it in terms of where you get your strength to persevere. That is, after all, why you can cast spells. A Green Knight would fight first and foremost out of love for the world they vowed...

I'm actually currently playing a "psionic sorcerer" using the Psionic Discipline subclass I posted earlier (see link in first post). I'm level four by now, and so far, it's worked really well! All I've really done to make the magic feel psychic is change the spell casting ability to...

My ideas on nomads: 1st level: Once per turn, you may teleport to any unoccupied space within 5 feet of your aura that you can see. You must move at least five feet in the direction of your destination first. Also 1st level: You can briefly slow down time to evade an attack more easily. Use...

Thinking about telepaths now... 1st level: You have telepathy out to the limits of your aura. Also 1st level: As an action, you may make one willing creature within your aura take an action of your choice. Later level, you also make it take a bonus action as well, and even later, it may move as...

Just gonna jot down some ideas I've been thinking about... here's what I imagine the class features of a kineticist to look like: 1st level: You can conjure a Medium invisible hand as an action. It appears anywhere within your aura (10-foot radius at 1st level). On any of your subsequent turns...

As long as "powers" don't just become another kind of spell with different categorizations, yeah, that is one way it could be taken. But I'm also interested in what can be done with a class that has very little sharing of magic abilities.

One thing I was imagining all psions having is a psychic aura that grows in radius as they level up. This aura is sort of your standard area of influence for your powers-- it's the portion of reality around you that is susceptible to your mind's influence. All the psionic powers would be based...

Oh yeah, that's right. I was thinking of the classes that still mixed in some class-wide features with the subclass features at higher levels, but you're right; not every class does that.
