Well, try remaking the character as a varient human or a dwarf and I think you will fine it superior in everyway that acuually matters .

I dont know if that is a fair assessment. They would be alien because they are reptilian. We have a pretty good idea of how mammals work-- all derived from being live born, suckling at the mother's teet, living in a communal group and cooperating for survival. Reptiles generally hatch from eggs...

Well, that arguement aside, what I was really getting at is that while Elf and Dwarf and most others were designed in such a way that you can play just about any class and receive a meaningful benefit-- i.e. with Elfs, if you are a fighter than getting those martial proficiencies doesn't mean...

I don't expect much, but I will toss one in here that could be either a hero or an NPC villain. Kenxia Duskstalker Race: Hobgoblin Class: Bard (College of Valor) A 6'4" hobgoblin male with burnt tan skin, three scars like those made by a claw swipe adorn his left cheek, his eyes are large and...

I believe it was a general guiding principle when designing most of the races. At least in terms of the Halfling, Elf and Dwarf, they have been created in such a way that, generally, if you choose a class where the attribute bonuses improve those you will use for the class, a lot of the racial...

Let's see here... Let's say the PCs were as much in the "right" as possible. The PCs were at a bank and someone attempts to rob it. The PCs attack the robbers and there is a big fight. The security guard comes running in, pulls out his gun and tells everyone to stand the hell down because at...

Yes, I suppose that would be an example of something even stranger than a Thrikreen or Warforged, but I don't know that I have seen it. But, come to think of it, dragons and sentient animals and such-- those also present problems. Basically they are things where PC classes just cannot really be...

You could always have a villain arise organically. Is there any sentient creature that has been totally screwed over by the PC's previous actions? The more "innocent" they were before having their life destroyed, the better. There are numerable ways they could be beefed up for combat, but even...

Sorry, I answered this question thinking you were looking for an antagonist at first.... Anyway, you got a ranger and a monk. You probably need someone who can heal and someone who can detect traps, unlock doors and other utility actions.

I am with you to an extent. It is just... well... if you burst into a pub in Eberron or Baldur's Gate, you are likely to find among your patrons alongside the Dwarfs, Halflings, Gnomes and Elves, some Orcs, some Hobgoblins, maybe a couple Goblins or Kobolds, maybe a Lizardfolk, possibly even a...

You know though... the sheer amount of people looking to justify any PC's actions to dodge labeling the PC "evil".... Think about all the denizens of the world one unhesitatingly paints with a big paint brush as universally evil so that one can slaughter them all without hesitation or regard...

It was a Chaotic Evil act. Afterall, the person intervened in the fight as part of his legal duty, had surrendered and was no longer a threat. That being said, is one Chaotic Evil act enough to shift one's alignment entirely? I don't think so. In the real modern world such a person would likely...

I don't feel like any D&D setting aside from maybe Dragonlance was ever meant to be played with the idea of it following a strict canon with an evolving metaplot. Generally speaking, sooner or later any novel series protagonist become so powerful and world-shaping that it is really difficult to...

I look at this list and the first thing that jumps out at me. Dragonborn is "Demihuman" and Lizardfolk is "humanoid"... *sigh* Such a stupid and archiac concept to even bother acknowledging. "See da de-mi-hooman es da-da-da gud guy and if it not the gud guy den, den, den it a hoomanoid not a...

I would like to take a small moment to point out that combat is actually in-game supposed to be happening at a much faster pace than the game functionally allows for it to be modeled. As such, I would wager that skeletons really don't have the time to react to a moving wave of fire coming their...

Even if I were to put aside spirituality, any harm you to is going to be to stop the big block of cells from functioning and causing the "sentience" in a creature to disappear. Whatever you do to the organic remains once they no longer create a living being with any semblance of sentience hardly...

Wait, wait, wait..... So storming into a sentient beings home because they are "evil" and you heard they have treasure which you are going to take after you finish slaughtering each and every one of them is "good" and perfectly normal and acceptable.... But doing anything to the body after the...

You can start by trying to live in reality rather than adhering to this cult of Gygax? The fact that you would describe people as not adhering to these 9 artificial boxes as being a failure of their Wisdom or Intelligence demonstrates a real failure to understand how humans work. "Lawful Evil"...

You realize that having a maneuver without a superiority die is like saying "this race gets a cantrip, but only if you dragonblooded sorcerer". Without a superiority die, the maneuver doesn't actually do anything and the only other way to get the die would be to be the Battlemaster class-- so...

Alignments are a very poor method for classifying anything. It was a terrible idea out the gate and it would have been discarded to the dustbin, but it became a sacred cow. You see, if you presuppose alignments are a thing then by all means you could create something whose behavior and actions...
