Honestly, the approach to governments in D&D's various editions when laying out their worlds hinges on lunacy. First of all, no functional society is going to have anyone at the top who is actually chaotic. Maybe they are dishonest in their dealing with other, sure, and maybe they don't really...

Really? Okay, let me break this down for you. If they are going to exist at all, if you have Dragon-people they could be... nay, should be this: But that isn't a dragonborn. That is actually menacing, actually formidable, actually... well... possible to be taken seriously. Dragonborn are...

Why is it that when WotC comes up with a new race its got to be splattered across all settings in precisely the same manner as they did in the original setting? They did it with WarForged, they used their lame 4E version to ruin Tieflings in all settings and they do it with Dragonborn. And...

The weakest you can go is standard proficiency bonus and simple weapons with d6 hit die, never getting any particular features that apply to combat beyond the standard actions and what you could do with skills.... although, in most D&D games combat is such a big part, so such a thing would be...

Goblin You gain +2 Dexterity and +1 to either Wisdom or Charisma Size: Small Speed: 30 * You have Dark Vision 60' * You add 1 to your Initiative score * You may choose either Animal Handling or Deception and gain proficiency in that skill. * You may choose either one set of Artisan's Tools or...

I have a few recent ones, but the thread they are in is mostly discussion and I didn't post a final version anywhere. I will just repost here. Goblin, Gith, Hobgoblin and Rakasta

Well, a 1 level dip would get you precisely 2 die and 2 extra maneuvers. And, as long as they are called two different things, those die eternally remain d6s. If they were called the same thing, then you would be a level behind in increasing those die. Which one is more in-line with what you get...

For the first one, I would suppose you are correct in that case. The second... ehh.. I think you mean "Superiority die" and suppose someone could multiclass Battlemaster and Commander, but it would be a bit like multiclassing Cleric and Paladin. I am not really sure how one would go about...

Okay. First, player suicide would be the player killing themselves. Not the player having the character kill themselves. You are talking about CHARACTER suicide, not PLAYER suicide. That is a very, very important distinction to make. Next, I think you might want to review something. If a player...

Right, classes with higher hit point totals will be able to cast more under your system and it isn't simply Cleric vs. Wizard. In the PHB, casters are Bard (Arcane) - D8 hit die Cleric (Divine) - D8 hit die Druid (Divine) - D8 hit die Eldritch Knight (Arcane) - D10 hit die Paladin (Divine) -...

1d6+ spell level is way too expensive for 1st level spells and way, way to cheap for 9th level spells. Think about it-- it means casting a basic 1st level spell at 1st level could very possibly cost more hit points than a character has.... meanwhile a 9th level spell will only cost a maximum of...

The thrown weapon style... I feel the ability to draw the weapons is a good one, but I don't know about the increased damage die, plus it is kind weird that they deal more damage on a throw... maybe something else that makes it sort of good even if you have only a single attack. Perhaps they...

I have revised the class immensely. It should be better balanced now and properly competitive with other classes throughout its progression. It may look really strong, but I feel confident that if you run the numbers you will find it is actually quite on par with the Cleric or Bard. Just keep in...

Actually, you wouldn't be at all wrong to do so. Given the sort of big level 30 heroes that Forgotten Realms sports, ones that are basically on the level of gods, and just how commonly and how thoroughly everything in that world that could possibly be a real threat to the general peace has been...

By half-ogre, I meant half-giant. To my mind there is no significant difference-- I just view Ogres as being the only "giants" small enough to breed with humans. (Well, typically given the how the last few have developed the concept of Orcs, they might well be even smaller giants which makes all...

The model I am working on is to take the Battlemaster Fighter maneuvers as a base, turn the Bard inspiration into a maneuver and then within in the class you give up all those extra attacks, ability bonus boosts and indomitable in favor of getting the Life Cleric/Paladin healing ability, a...
