You are WAY off here. WAY off. In order to make Dexterity the superior choice and make anyone who focuses on Strength a damn laughing stock, you need not change a single rule at all. You just keep things exactly as they are. In order to make Strength an even viably competitive build, you would...

But these weapons already come with their own drawbacks. Longbows are 2-handed weapons that deal d8 damage-- any other two handed martial weapon deals at least d10 damage on a hit, if not d12/2d6. Shortbows are two-handed weapons that deal D6 and fi you are a small race or a Rogue/Bard that...

Uh... no. Dexterity build totally wrecks Strength build in terms of AC at early levels. Completely so. The only way to possibly change that is if you are literally handing PCs thousands of gold at first level. Given what armor can actually be afforded at 1st level, you cannot possibly have...

I don't think anyone can blame players for ignoring Investigation and the whole Intelligence attribute in general. It really is a pretty worthless attribute unless you are a Wizard or one of the wizard-y subclasses that uses it to determine your spell DCs. And even then, if you avoid spells that...

What did this thread get a bunch of blathering ignorant idiots going on about katanas demonstrating the typical westerner's weird fetish with Asian stuff that gets absolutely everything wrong? Anyway, is strikes me that the Rapier is a fundamentally broken weapon that is screwing the whole...

They are absolutely arbitrary and almost certainly not the best options. But, unfortunately the classes are balanced based on them so if you go changing them, a lot of things change as a result. It is actually quite disappointing that so many D&D knock-offs keep the same array as that is...

Here is how I would solve this Orc +2 Strength Age - Orcs mature faster than humans reaching maturity around the age of 13, they tend to live no longer than 75 years but very few live long enough to die of old age. Alignment - Orcs are wild with highly unstable emotions that cause them to act...

But, as I said, those sort of things are generally a case of "it would be too easy to defeat this monster if had any bad attributes". Well, apparently except Dexterity and even their Dexterity is at or slightly above that of an average human.

You know, it would be a lot easier to sell that this was a "misconception" if one couldn't open the monster manual and flip through it and see that... well, well... the assigned Charisma stat is directly related to the stated beauty of the creature-- save for cases where all attributes are...

The last actually good D&D video game was Neverwinter Nights II. The MMORPGs are well... MMORPGs and suffer from the setbacks from that. The pay to play becoming pay to win model once they go free-to-play, further setting all half-decent (and let us stress half-decent) content behind pay...

What is "PSZ"? Those races all look extraordinarily badly designed and balanced. I would toss out whatever source those game from.

Yes, technically you can rule-lawyer past the restriction, but you are just spoiling the point of the monster by doing so. Its like having someone hit a flaming monster and taking damage and therefore the monster is no longer flaming it for the second person who hits it in the same 6 second...

Well, you would slightly redo the races to add attribute penalties... Dwarfs become Small Size with all attached restrictions. All attributes are determined by rolling 3d6 in order of attribute. You basically need a 11+ in the right category to be anything but a Fighter. Actually good classes...

Oh, I'm sorry. Is your goal to play your character with a -1 penalty to 75-90% of the rolls you make during the game in exchange for absolutely nothing? Well, I apologize then for not realizing there is someone who actually has that as their specific goal. Gnomes have a few racial traits that...

I have had a DM pull that on me in the past. Similar scenarios have happened multiple times. DMs seem to love nothing more than playing that "gotcha" game, telling you after the fact that your character violated a law or taboo a denizen of the world probably knew about, but I as a person outside...

I know they wrote a while ago about what the upcoming APs would be... If I recall, the next one is going to be a trippy Alice in Wonderland like adventure. I think Peddleton Ward is a good choice to help shape such a concept. The one after that, if I recall, is going to be the mystery one that...

I've never seen anyone play a Gnome as anything but a Wizard in 5E. Furthermore, as Wizarding and technology are the main things Gnomes do, an Intelligence bonus is actually suitable to them. Even with an addendum saying that Hobgoblins CAN be Wizards (and even then it is limited to the Abjurer...

Well, the same thing that is wrong with crating a High Elf Barbarian or a Dwarf Wizard... its not what any of the story of what the race is supposed to be good at. Hobgoblins are meant to be primarily Fighters. After that Warlord/Captain (if you allow such a thing to exist), Paladin (if you...

It is the only class I have ever seen everyone say HAS to level dip to Fighter for at least one level. But, yes, I was misinformed in thinking it used Intelligence for spell-casting. I thought something other than Wizard had to-- but, nope. Turns out Wizard is the odd man out, literally the only...
