    Mike Mearls Happy Fun Hour: The Warlord

    Every time I see a 5e Warlord thread, I have the same reaction. "Please acknowledge that Warlord is already in 5e. They beat the heck out of it with the Nerf Bat and called it Battle Master Fighter." Grants ally attack - Check Grants ally move - Check Melee attacks with bonus riders (Disarm...

    Survivor Subclasses (Non-Magic)- BATTLE MASTER WINS!

    Ancestral Guardian (B) 20 Battle Master (F) 20 - Interesting, does useful things, has a unique mechanic, fun to play. Battle Master dip feat considered worthwhile for other melee builds. Cavalier (F) 20 Champion (F) 3 - Boring, does NOTHING special, Swing Sword wait for next turn, repeat...

    Its time to exempt (sub)race from the PHB +1 rule!

    My understanding is that that is the POINT of the PHB+1 rule. That by separating sources, they avoid having to worry about broken power combos resulting from "Oh well, nobody thought to test this subclass with this race from a book from 6 years ago because we'd all forgotten about it" and...

    If you were to rename the Warforged for a neutral setting, what would you name them? (thread 1/3)

    I personally lean towards Automata/Automaton. For a while I was working on a homebrew setting with a similar race and a steampunk aesthetic. The race were called 'Works' with a sort of double meaning. First because they were created for specific jobs to do work, and secondly because the sub...

    D&D 5E (2014) If you were to rename the Drow for a neutral setting, what would you name them? (thread 3/3)

    Again a fairly easy one. The fact that they were called Drow in the first place always seemed odd to me. Yep, we gots some elfeses heer, we gots all da varietieies: High Elf Wood Elf Grey Elf Gold Elf Green Elf Sun Elf Moon Elf Sylvan Elf Drow DARK ELF

    D&D 5E (2014) If you were to rename the Halflings for a neutral setting, what would you name them? (thread 2/3)

    /agree with everyone saying "Halfling is the generic term" LORE: In their native tongue, these small people call themselves "Hha Flingsu" which literally translates as "The People". Halfling is a corruption into the common tongue and has nothing to do with their relative size compared to other...

    D&D 5E (2014) Make a Flawed Magic Item

    Flame-Burster - This Longsword, when drawn and used bursts aflame. On a normal hit, it deals +1d4 fire damage. However, it has an expanded critical range (19-20), and on a Critical Hit it emits an ENORMOUS BURST of Flame. This deals an extra 2d10 fire damage to the target. This also deals...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why Lichdom?

    Lichdom is a one-time expenditure, Clones incur a per use cost. Lichdom requires only a single Phylacrity, Clones require multiple clones as a back-up redundancy. A Slain Lich reforms in a few days, a Clone takes 120 days to mature. A Lich is free from the suffering of life. No head aches...

    D&D 5E (2014) How would YOU build a Goliath Wizard?

    I have actually done this. Caveat - I make my Adventurer's League characters by rolling on a random chart I make for Race, Class, and Background, then doing my best to make it work. Gærþ (Gaerth) - Level 3 Wizard (Diviner), Goliath, Entertainer Background (Proficient with the Hurdy-Gurdy)...

    D&D 5E (2014) No Magic Shops!

    I personally want a system with a better magic item economy. My ideal is, YES, any decently sized settlement has a Magic shop. It sells spell components, and a few magic items. Larger cities may have specialty magic weapon and magic armor shops. But, I want a supplement with a large number...

    Moonfolk

    Here's what I want. 3 subraces (the current version can be one of them) so that if a setting has more than one moon, each moon can have it's own associated subrace of Moonfolk. :P Anyway, Mechanically they seem sound, I'd certainly allow them. Yeah, I'd switch sleep out for Faerie Fire. I...

    Fighter Subclass: The Bravura! (INT-based, tactical, non-magical)

    Normally you can only make an AoO due to movement when a target moves out of your threat area without disengaging. Polearm mastery allows you to make an AoO when targets move in to your reach. So you threaten 24 squares around you and can potentially take 4 AoOs in a round at 1st level, when...

    Fighter Subclass: The Bravura! (INT-based, tactical, non-magical)

    I like it as a preliminary. I feel like there's a better way to word "You can't wear heavy armor while you use these powers" but I can't think of a way to phrase it... Maybe "The Bravura trades heavy armor for mobility, you cannot use any Bravura features while wearing heavy armor"? One...

    D&D 5E (2014) Unbalanced Sub-classes and how to fix them

    I can't really think of any that are Overpowered. I will say, I think the Fighter Champion archetype is, if not underpowered, at least Mechanically Boring. In all the AL games I've played, like 70-80% of fighters are Battle Masters, the remainder are Eldritch Knight. Never played with a...
