... Well, gotta fine me, because the first thing I said after reading "A Ruckus of Rocs" was "Roc-us would be better."

I also immediately thought of Treantmonk! Have you seen his followup? I LOVE A5e's flexibility. I think this is an excellent observation and, as a side effect, highlights just how many options you have in A5e when you start digging into the details.

5e and A5e aren't really designed to make animal companions that tanky, or particularly good a shutting down multiple enemies. They tend to have low AC and middling-low HP, although A5e makes up for this to an extent by giving them a regularly recharging pool of temporary hit points so they can...

Thank you :)

My favorite materials in any game are materials that inspire me with ideas. Reading through the Scientist archetype, I had one such idea that feels a little more... villainous than the existing archetypes. Given that this is homebrew for a playtest document for a rulebook that is far from being...

Very big fan of the Blinkstep rogue.

I like to think it’s possible, but it requires (at least in flavor) creating further limitations that don’t necessarily work for something as general as just a scientist. For example, imagine if this class represented a specific order or discipline of scientist that universally has a heart...

It does have the usual issue that I have with most technology-focused classes and races, specifically being that their gear just falls apart not long after they hand it off - for game balance I get this necessity, but I’ve yet to read an explanation that really satisfies me.

For me, I like any content that I read and immediately begin thinking of characters (and other creative ideas). The Scientist gave me a bunch of ideas, so I predict I’d be interested in playing a few.

I'm looking for assistance once again with a combat tradition. This combat tradition is intended to help martial classes with an archetype that grants an animal companion (currently only the ranger) do more to work with their animal companion, to help the two feel like a complementary fighting...

Thanks, all! :) I already had a few ideas and I was planning on borrowing here and there from other other traditions (taking inspiration). This still helps with the idea that Spirited Steed, Tooth and Claw, Mist and Shade, and Sanguine Knot might be the most translatable.

I think it would be fun to get more out of the Beastmaster by making a fighting tradition themed around commanding your animal companions to perform special actions they might not otherwise be able to do. Obviously the initial distribution for this tradition would be pretty limited as currently...

I keep making halflings and half-halflings, so I guess that's where my heart belongs.

Take the Chaplain herald and run with it in whatever direction you want :) You have my blessing, and if I see it in GPG, I will point at it and say, "Hah! It was a good idea!" I've been tinkering with a warlock that gets a minion—kind of like Beastmaster, but with a customizable...

That’s also totally unrelated to what you asked for, with regards to strife and stuff…

I think we all get that. (This isn’t a push for you to make this fluff article happen if you don’t think it has a use for GPG.) I do think the idea is defense-worthy even with experienced GMs who are familiar with their game system, though. Some new players don’t like feeling like the GM is...

I don’t care how simple the rules are, any RPG could benefit from this.

I'd love to hear about it :) And glad to hear that I can be part of a spark that initiated discussion! That's always a cool feeling :) As far as game design is concerned, I don't mind when certain classes—like the berserker—appear designed to be used in a specific way. For example, you're never...

This was fun :) Thank you for the assistance and the discussion, anyway! I may be able to share the story of Big Richard the Halfling Berserker before too long :)

I'm not on that Discord! I bet it would be fun to peruse through. Is it open to players in general?
