Hmm.. So unarmed attacker that has stealth and sneak attack abilities that can also cast spells. So basically a ninja from Naruto. That could be done. Not sure it relates to this though. And since any class can purchase a pony, there isn't an issue there either. You just take the tool use of...

A gender switching belt that increases your Charisma to 22 and casts Charm Person once per day using charisma stat on a single individual the character is talking to at DM discretion. Once fastened cannot be taken off without the curse being removed via cleric ritual magic. A glowing...

Barbarian is an awfully strange class for a Mountain Dwarf to be. It would be perfectly normal and natural for a Hill Dwarf, it could well be considered their "favored class" for lack of a better term. But a Mountain Dwarf Barbarian is kind of like a High Elf Druid.... it almost suggests that we...

Wouldn't a Lawful Evil priest or champion at least try to be convincing about spreading the message rather than ridiculing, mocking or taunting people and thus turning them against the person. I would have to think the better tactic for the Paladin would be to explain that suffering in the...

Considering hobgoblins are goblins that are 2-4x the size of regular goblins and considerably more civilized, productive, cooperative and longer lived, if Halflings are hobnizes, then I really got to wonder what a Niz is. I am thinking some sort of pixie-sized short-lived beings who are...

Well, remember also that 4E altered the Gnome great deal. They were basically turned into small elves making them even less distinct from Halflings physically. Although there were arguably fey-ish aspects about the Forest Gnomes, the oldest and most common version, the Rock Gnomes, were very...

It seems to me that the best way to do a campaign world for that game would be to make it up on the fly. Starting with a defined world seems very much against the nature of the game-- by putting down some starting lines, you create boundaries about what does and does not exist within the world...

There are numerous thing that need to be considered when you think about a D&D setting. Basically you can consider them the base assumptions of the game. The first, and most restrictive, is that class balance require that the armor and weapon selection be pretty much what is in the core book--...

I think one of the unfortunate aspects about D&D settings is how the original designers of them were generally compelled to include the Tolkien races regardless of the fact that they just didn't really fit the concept or tone any longer. Yes, Ravenloft did tweak them slightly, but not nearly...

It is worth considering your model for deities as to whether this would be a good change. The current model of deities in Forgotten Realms, in most D&D worlds for that matter, is a model where mortals can gain significant power and slay deities and take their place. In such a world, it probably...

Goblin and Kobolds, of course. Granted, the Underdark version of anything is going to be more evil than the regular version of it simply thematically. But once you assert yourself as the boss, goblin and kobolds are perfectly content to have whatever alignment you tell them to have... so long...

I can tell you right now that no one is going to be able to help you with this. The very idea of trying to craft something that is supposed to be a challenge for a character who is completely off the map in terms of level-- characters for whom 9th and 10th level spells are just throw-away spell...

The party will be level 65?... Are you sure you meant to post this in D&D? There is hardly an edition of D&D that traditionally goes beyond level 20. At most you might get to level 30, but that is under major restrictions in every edition. And if you expect to do something once every 5 levels...

Hmm... maybe. I am hesitant to put in grappling because it is perhaps a little more difficult to escape a restraint that an intelligent creature can adjust rather than an inanimate restraint. As for small, the only effects are that you can't use heavy weapons (basically all 2-handed melee) and...

Well, weapon training really only helps Warlocks and Sorcerers. Granted, it helps Warlocks to such a degree that most builds insist on sinking a level in Fighter just to get the proficiencies. Rogues and Bards already get all the martial finesse weapons which are all the ones they are going to...

I don't know to what degree this would help, but... Remember that spellcasters can, typically, cast the spells they know using a higher spell slot. In other words, even if due to the way you control what spells a caster can use, they can still fall back on their previously known spells and...

I want a Tactician class whose abilities trigger off Intelligence. Really, Intelligence is such a under-powered, under-utilized stat in the game at this point that it is a wonder that anyone but Wizards has it set at above 8. A semi-martial support class that uses the stat would probably be...

I am only going to comment on the Goblin and Hobgoblin... Are you certain that you feel that requisite weapon proficiencies are where these races should be sinking their "points"? I really have to wonder if the races are so very linked with those particular weapons that it seems the best place...

If one lives in a world that has trolls and trolls are encountered often enough that the average village has to deal with them at least once per a generation, it is very likely that the character has in fact heard of trolls and would have heard that fire is the best weapon to use against it...

Except that the characters must inherently be created from within the allowable concept and rules of the fictional world you are building them in. Furthermore, when you build the character you make choices about what they do and do not know and can and cannot do when you assigned their stats and...
