Could you make attacks with the two-handed weapon with disadvantage? Just curious

-Speed is 30 ft. All other Small races are typically 25 ft. Why the difference? -Fearless: Immunity to fear is a powerful ability that some classes (ex Paladin) do not get until level 10. Maybe make it advantage instead? -Curiosity: Proficient in Sleight of Hand skill seems fine, but this...

And that's why the Human (non-variant) gets the short stick. Specific tends to beat general. Hell, they even put that at the start of the PHB :P

It's also an easy enough detail to handwave away for those who really want to use it and DMs who don't care. Or after the first adventure or session, maybe they help out a grateful dwarf or find a blinged out bugbear and can use it. Not a huge reward compared to a level up or a horde, but for a...

I think both of these aren't an issue when changing one melee to one ranged weapon. The choice/consequence comes in when switching from dual-wielding melee weapons to a ranged weapon, or vice versa, on the same turn. Or when heavy weapons come into it. It's a choice between limiting what a...

I was thinking you can double it up to give +2 to Str or Con if you chose to. I wanted Hobgoblins to actually have a deeper culture than just a military, although that is the core of it. But like some countries have mandatory military service, Hobgoblin nations will have that just taken a lot...

There's been a lot of debate about this in other threads. If you want it to affect gameplay, you need the right table and DM (as always). You need to be interested in using it to do something. Some people might not care at all about saving for a stronghold, some might love it just for the...

Good. Great. Fantastic! Don't ever think it sounds like a mistake. If you like it, and it if your players like it, it works. Books like Mating Habits of Bulettes or 1001 Ways Through the Foggy Woods can give a player a very specific version of Stonecunning or Favoured Terrain traits. Even if it...

Maybe getting able to use Sorcery Points to power, twin, or buff up your spells? Depends on the table, if you don't have a Sorcerer (avoid stepping on his toes) or everyone is cool it could work. You could face exhaustion penalty or burn out spell slots to use them.

Yeah, I agree here. My only thing is that they (especially the Forest Tanuki) are too mechanically similar to the Forest Gnome and don't really have a core identity. At least from my layman's POV. If one of my player's brought me this with a backstory of his Forest Gnome dad having an awkward...

True Polymorph should work as well. And if you don't mind doing it piece by piece, I heard from a hunchback that Dr. Victor something-or-other up the road knows Regenerate and doesn't ask too many questions.

In having "heroes" running off trying to slay dragons, krakens, and even the Tarrasque, the ecology in many areas were destroyed. With the lack of apex predators and their important role in keeping other populations down, not to mention their overlooked environment [Lair] functions, the...

Trolls aren't known for their bimonthly book club meetings, but I would assume they would use Disengage/Dash away or dive into a nearby swamp if the seemingly easy meals it ambushed started throwing fire at it. Or not and the players feel good about having the means to make this regularly tough...
