Posting these from the main thread because they seem very relevant to the discussion. Credit to MockingBird for bringing this to our attention. an excerpt from the video.

Recreating a character isn't something I do myself, but I do enjoy seeing other people theorycraft them. There's one guy on Youtube I sometimes watch that does this, I figure I'd share his video on Elsa. It's a very interesting build that I don't think many would actually play, but it's very...

I sometimes wish that FF6 got the same love and attention that 7 gets. Then I think about how much they've ridden that horse into the ground and go back to being happy that 6 remains relatively untouched. No extremely unnecessary expansions to the story that just dilutes what that game...

While I do have some criticisms for this idea, it does improve the even split multi without needing any additional design work. So on a work vs. result basis, it's a solid idea. My largest problem with the idea is that it wouldn't fix the big underlining issue with 5.0's multi-classing. That...

This comes down to the inherent strengths and weaknesses of class based systems vs. a classless one. A classless system has unmatched ability to express the most character concepts, while the class based one makes it easier for new players by constraining choice down to the bare essentials and...

Now you got me thinking about video games influence on me. There are so many to chose from, but for inspiring the spirit of adventure nothing beats the Legend of Zelda. The First game in the series I played was A Link to the Past. My love of exploration probably started here. Exploring every...

It would definitely not be an easy task, but the concept of a half-class is pretty straight forward. Like I said it would just need a decent amount of playtesting to get it right. You'd have to go through each class abilities one by one and figure out if they need to be delayed, limited...

This kind of came up in another thread, I'll repost some of my thoughts. I really liked how it worked in 4th, so adapting those concepts to 5th is a good place to start. First how it works in 4e: The first option is feat multi-classing. Using this method you pick a class as normal and then...

I'm not familiar with this particular picture, but I'm guessing that's Smaug? That's a good pick. The Hobbit was the first fantasy anything I can remember interacting with. I think I was in the 4th or 5th grade? It was a long time ago, my memory is really hazy. The Hobbit definately had a...

I still haven't gotten to actually play yet, but when I think about playing this painting is what always comes to mind. A Bad Roll by Kadrion on Furaffinity I love the mixing of the game and the fictional universe in it, and the atmosphere of fun and comradery at the table is how I hope my...

Yeah, people who dislike the 3rd and 5th edition style multiclassing should probably take a second look at 4th's implementations. 4th's multiclassing options protect niches really well and make more balanced and useful multi-class characters on average. The first option is feat multi-classing...

ask and you shall receive.

I agree to an extent. I'd personally much rather play a Tabaxi than an Ardling, but the Ardling supports a much wider array of furry concepts in a single entry than traditional races. If the developers included traditional furry type races in the Player's Handbook the most I think we could...

I'm very excited about the Ardling. An ancestry that can have any animal traits, or maybe even any combination of animal traits, is perfect for furries. Having an ancestry like that showing up in the Player's Handbook is more than I could have hoped for. It really increases the chances of...

I just filled out the survey and figured people here might be interested in my thoughts. I'm in the weird position of being very interested in pen and paper D&D, but never actually playing it. Here's a brief overview of my interest in D&D. My first contact with it was the video game Baldur's...

I just don't understand the objection. Most rolling methods involve rerolling if the combined results are under a baseline, so even those use guiderails to keep balance within a certain level. That balance isn't any more difficult to achieve without lineage ability bonuses than point buy is...

This is the answer, and I'm a little amazed that it isn't the most popular response so far. The whole point of the floating modifiers are to let lineages hit a certain mathematical baseline. So just bake that baseline into the ability generation method and cut out the unnecessary and fiddly...
