    D&D 5E (2024) Armor, simplified for 5.5E:

    If you want to make armor actually be armor, then it needs damage reduction.

    D&D 5E (2024) The rapier problem

    Part of the problem is that scimitar is set up wrong. The saber, also known as a backsword, should be the d6 damage slashing and piercing finesse weapon. The scimitar should be a d8 weapon.

    D&D 5E (2024) After my players tried to break it, we discovered that the new half-race rules are hilarious and terrible.

    The problem is that it isn't a system. It's just them telling us we can do what we were already doing to keep them from having to make actual rules.

    D&D 5E (2024) Custom lineage for 5.5E. Build your own race:

    Yeah, but what they are doing is taking the easy way out by saying I can take a Drow and say it's half Teifling. I have been doing that since 2nd edition when I really want my wizard to be Half Elf, but they couldn't get to level 20 wizard so I made her Human and said she was Half Eleven. We do...

    D&D 5E (2024) Custom lineage for 5.5E. Build your own race:

    If it isn't official, then it can't be used in Adventures League.

    D&D 5E (2024) Custom lineage for 5.5E. Build your own race:

    This is what I wanted for Custom Lineage. For the new edition, they should line racial traits by relative power level and allow you to pick back and for as you go down the column with the caveat that your DM has to approve it as it will not be perfectly balanced in all cases.

    D&D 5E (2024) First playtest thread! One D&D Character Origins.

    I disagree with their handling of mixed race characters. We do not need them to officially tell us we can take a Drow and say its half Drow and half Dwarf. We can do that already. What we need is rules to mix and match racial features so that mechanically our character will be half Drow and Dwarf.

    D&D 5E (2014) A lich just did something to me and I am not sure what happened. Can someone please explain to me?

    Is the Lich's name some take on Voldemort? Like Moldyvort? Check your forehead.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why do ability scores cap at 20 instead of 18?

    With bounded accuracy and the way DCs are, I imagine that since the game was designed with players being able to get a 20 in their class ability score the game would start to have problems around 8-12 and you would have to start fixing the problems a forced lower score would cause once your...

    D&D 5E (2014) Brainstorming: Getting Rid of the Monstrosity Creature Type

    Once you have created your monstrosity like the Owlbear and you have enough that they can breed, after several generations of natural breeding are they still monstrosities or has nature superceded their creation and they are now beasts?

    D&D 5E (2014) The impact of ASIs

    I would like to see either feats or stat improvements tied to character level and the other one tied to class levels. Not too sure which one I would want to be which. If I was to tie stat improvements to class, I might be tempted to limit them to the two stats listed for that class and maybe Con...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wights....problem with RaW...

    You can flavor it in many ways from being able to do it with anything they are holding to touching you and the life force leaves you and goes into their eyes or mouth. I call it wight privilege. ;)

    Dragonlance More DRAGONLANCE Information: Kender, Battles, W&H's Novels, & More!

    I am not too fond of Kenders having taunt. Unless you are making a tanky character, it just screams "GM, kill my character."

    D&D 5E (2014) does it seem lke tcoe Order of scribes wizard is largely solutions in search of a problem dressed up as an archetype?

    I would like Crawford to provide an official ruling on the ink cost. The cost of scribing a spell is from the special ink needed which this class says your magic quill provides.

    D&D General Do you allow "crossplaying" at your table? Has it ever caused problems?

    I have had many female characters with only one of the who acted kind of easy/slutty. She was a bodyguard/assassin solo in Cyberpunk and by the time you found out it was an act, you were dead.
