    D&D 5E (2014) PHB Races Redone

    WotC seems to be moving away from subraces and on to single race profile from what they have shown in later UA.

    A single sculpted example where you set artificial limits is not the I win button you think it is.

    D&D 5E (2014) PHB Races Redone

    I am trying to redo the races as they have been doing them lately in Tasha's and UA. That is with stat bonuses and cultural elements removed. If one looks at the Dragonborn UA different subraces were dealt with by promoting choices within individual powers. So what I am looking for is a single...

    That is really sounding cultural. Now an ability to gain sustenance from small amounts or inedible would be Biological but not really a Halfling thing.

    D&D 5E (2014) PHB Races Redone

    On my Dwarven racial write up I am thinking of replacing the Load bearing with Family not of blood: Once per short rest gain advantage on the next attack roll against an enemy that has caused damage to a member of your party. Thoughts? I also would like to hear everybody's opinion on what makes...

    I am not entirely happy with the Dwarven increased carry ability. Would people agree that Dwarves are innately clan/family orientated by nature? Meaning that they naturally form tight knit family and extended family units, and when away from them latch on to what is available if it has proven...

    D&D 5E (2014) PHB Races Redone

    For our needs of showing Elves as innately magic and tied to nature, I have given them a Cantrip tied to the Fey ancestry allowing a choice from the Wizard or Druid list and allowing the player to choose the casting stat between the 3 mental stats so as not make it worthless down the road.

    This thread has zero to do with morality or alignment thus I wanted such discussion regardless on which side you stand not brought in to this thread. Lets face it, these discussions of late seem to only have one trajectory which is shut down either due to personal attacks or getting mired in the...

    D&D 5E (2014) PHB Races Redone

    The High Elf entry in the PHB states that High Elves "at least master the basics of magic", mastering something implies learning and training. Having said that, tying the cantrip to Fey Ancestry makes it make sense and gives the elf the touch of magic they have been missing for a while. Allowing...

    I tied the cantrip to Fey ancestry which ties it to being a magical inheritance and allowed the choice to be from the Wizard or Druid list.

    Reminds me of the days of 3.X where people were playing 1/2 this, 1/4 that and a 1/4 something else......glad those days are in the past. Sorry not really something I am interested in.

    D&D 5E (2014) PHB Races Redone

    In regards to the topic of this thread the trick in regards of really strong races is to show it with racial abilities no by stat. I may take a shot at other races after finishing the PHB ones.

    D&D 5E (2014) PHB Races Redone

    The Drow race redo will most likely be done soon enough by WotC so I will leave it be, and as for the topic you broach I think that it could go either as a godly punishment or as environmental. Keep in mind Drow from different setting and different groups of Drow within a setting can differ...

    D&D 5E (2014) PHB Races Redone

    The entry on the cantrip gives no direction but the opening line of High Elf states that they have "a keen intellect and at least a basic mastery of magic". So if it is not going to say either way though it implies basic magic is learned by all when young, we get to choose. MkIII Elf Trance: As...
