Remember that Khorvaire is a fiercely capitalistic land, controlled by cut-throat family businesses. In the real world, here in America, we allow something like 40% of all food produced to be wasted. Not in the form of "Oh I can't eat all this" but in the form of, it just sits in a warehouse...

I'll admit, however, that I'm an outlier. My first D&D book that I bought myself (the others were my brother's) was the AD&D Complete Psionics Handbook. So, over the years I've played a 2nd ed Psion, a 3.x Psion, Mind Blade, and Psychic Warrior.

The Warlord, mechanically, is a heavily armored Melee combatant that grants allies combat bonuses and tactical combat buffs. A Fighter gets to make extra attacks. A Warlord creates an opening that grants an Ally an extra attack. A Rogue gets a bonus for 'flanking' (yes I know flanking isn't a...

Class: Psionicist Subclasses 1. Clairsentient (Seer) 2. Psychokinetic 3. Psycometabolic (Shape-Shifter) 4. Psychoporter (Teleport) 5. Telepath 6. Meta-Psionicist (Meta)

Alright. Everyone meet at the soccer field behind the 7-11 at 3pm tomorrow. Bring any Nerf balls you have. We're gonna divide into two teams, Yes More Classes, and No Class Bloat. We'll play best 2 out of 3 Dodgeball, winner decides the content of WotCs books next year (Note: I don't have...

Seems like we have this particular heated thread every few months. Should there be more Classes? You already have an opinion and it's either Yes or No, and you won't be shifted by discussion. Personally, I favor new classes. There are a lot of things that cannot be done via subclasses. For...

Favorite: Randomly roll for Race, Class, and Background. Roll 3-5 times and pick your favorite. Good: Fixed stat array, no xp level via Milestones. Least Favorite: Anything that's purpose is "Slow down power recovery, keep the players from having their spells/limited abilities".

Also (I didn't see anyone mention this, but I may have missed it), All the races and Dragonmarks are different than they were in Wayfarers.

They should make dice fully out of lab grown sapphire. Just a full set of 16mm dice carved from solid sapphire.

Eventually, with all these threads, we have to hit a point where the answer to "Why is [Blank] done in [blank] manner?" is "Because that's the way the game was made". Why do different classes have different HD? Why do Spells work like that? Why do we roll These dice and not some other...

So my only observation here is that your crit rule seems like it would drastically reduce the number of crits. Which may be something you want, idk, but it's something that should be acknowledged upfront. Under 1d20, you have a 5% chance to Crit. Under your rule, you have a 5% chance to MATCH...

It seems that in 5e they've decided that having a PHB2 is something they don't want. They seem to have decided to keep new class features and new races fairly separate as well. Volo's and Mord vs Xan. So, i expect these, and possibly more, and possibly some new subclasses in a Xanathar style...

The party finds a Glowing Portal, beyond lies a magical mansion. Beautiful, comfortable, and unexpectedly, Safe. There is food, safe and wholesome, clean safe beds, and unseen servants that attend to their needs. There is no gotcha here. The party spends a fine comfortable night. In the...

An area of the Mournland that is meticulously clean and organized. No one knows why, but anything left out gets A. cleaned and B. put away neatly over night when nobody is watching. Careful investigation will find a size tiny Living Prestidigitation cantrip hiding in a little burrow that...

Pirates of Pugmire adds Birds and Lizards. Sidetrack aside, I always liked the idea of animated spells that were utility spells. Create Water - Doesn't really attack, but it IS turning the whole area into difficult terrain since it's basically a swamp now. Animate Object - A single Spell Ooze...

No, sorcerers just get pwnd. (joke) Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what to give Sorcerer and Wizard to give them non-spell combat viability.

While personally a low or no magic campaign doesn't appeal to me, I can see some ways to support it. So A> Getting rid of Cantrips. Ok, done, no cantrips. Part of the point of scaling at-will cantrips was to allow casters to retain some combat viability if they've used up all their near level...

I mean, I don't think it's MEANT to be punishing the players, but IMO it is, in that THEY want to play one way, and YOU the DM want to play a different way, and you are forcing your desired game style onto the others? Like, if this is a common problem in your group you may need a different...
