I can see where you are coming from here, but I don't think all classes/races(or combinations thereof) necessarily fit all campaign worlds(and this is from someone who LOVES Tieflings). I want to try and work backwards from "purity" and add what classes/races seem logical in the fluff. I could...

I was in a bad place last night. I had just been physically assaulted by my brother while my parents watched (and then proceeded to blame me for it) and then coming here and seeing just horribly negative crap just made me want to say "f*** it!" and delete it all. But I couldn't find a delete...

I was starting with the easy stuff first(character creation, what race could be what class, etc). The domain rules were their own subsystem that in all reality was pretty darn edition agnostic. They are the thing in least need of converting. I could probably use them completely as is from the...

I caught the nostalgia bug after digging out my Birthright boxed set and I kinda want to run a game of it in 5e when my schedule opens up and/or when I finish my current campaign of 13th Age I just started. I was considering keeping as much as I could from the 2e aspect of the setting(including...

The ones that immediately come to mind are rangers from the Warcraft universe. Other ones include the ranger-like classes from Final Fantasy, WarmaHordes(primarily the latter), and the Heroes of Might and Magic series(primarily part 3). Having the base ranger be non-magical and then gating...

How about the instances of Rangers in fiction that came about since the Lord of the Rings where said Rangers summon animals or ensnare people with arrows or using magical traps? Original sources don't just refer to Lord of the Rings but may include fiction that has developed since that has in...

What is good for D&D as a product line is not necessarily the same thing as what is good for D&D as a game. I'm assuming Greg Leed's primary responsibility is to shareholders. I bought the core three books and I bought the SCAG. Maybe it's due to the time I started(2e circa Player's Options...

Even if the archetypal Rangers didn't cast magic spells in their original sources, that is often because those sources allow non-magic users to do seemingly supernatural things without having to explicitly cast spells. The culture and often rules of D&D force "realism" on non-spellcasters and...

They were always hybrid casters. In AD&D, Paladins and Rangers were hybrid casters getting up to 4th level spells and 3rd level spells respectively. In 3.X that was upgraded to 4th level spells for both. The people who made 5e determined that hybrid casters would go up to 5th level spells. Even...

I think they kind of do have a schtick when you stop trying to make the Ranger spellless by default. They are a nature warrior who can call on said powers of nature to improve their tracking ability, hurt the enemy, and help their allies. Outlander can't do that. Magic Initiate can give you one...

It strikes me as really weird that Cleric is one of the most popular classes in this edition. I almost never see Clerics at any of our tables and when we do that player tends to bring something different the next week. Going off of anecdata, I'd rate Cleric down towards the bottom with Warlock...

I wonder if the problem is that the Fighter class itself is so broad and general that it, when combined with a background, engulfs any but the most strongly divergent martial concepts.

I either play AL or more short term Roll20 campaigns where they usually aren't terribly trusting of some stranger wanting to play some new class/race they themselves created. For my situation, if it isn't official(or from a well known/high production value 3PP) then it doesn't see the table. :/

That sucks. I guess that means we shouldn't be expecting them to update old campaign settings or branch out with new mechanics or experimental concepts in the near future. :/

I don't think banning cellphones will do much at all. It's a symptom and not the cause of the problem itself. In a similar situation(being KOed or CCed), since I own a burner I tend to just read splat books instead.

I like the new options for Tieflings. More options for one of my favorite races is awesome.

When can we expect Amethyst/Ultramodern Next to be officially released for 5e? I'm really looking forward to this. :)

Maybe if the movie bombs, then Hasbro will decide the D&D license isn't worth the time/money/effort and sell it to a company that will dedicate more than a skeleton crew to the TTRPG aspect of the game itself. Maybe I'm overly optimistic.
