It's not meant to. They're actively moving away from the derivative nature of Ravenloft.

Or it can have nothing to do with racism and everything to do with making the name easier to pronounce for non-native speakers. I've heard my name alerted in so many different ways I am usually the person suggesting a shortened and easier pronunciation to remove that communication barrier. I...

What's Jander doing back in Ravenloft? The last we'd seen him, he was trapped in Avernus...

I've got one for my tiefling bard. In terms of details it looks great (premium plastic level of details) and is obviously durable. The only downside is paint chipping if you end up painting it.

And inspiration being a common term between a class ability and a core system mechanic still confuses people to this day which kind of makes my point really.

How does that work with effects that cause exhaustion (path of berserker/sickening radiance) given that level up is meant to be backwards compatible with o5e? Also with all due respect, Morrus - hit points is a term prevalent throughout the gaming industry. Most gamers understand they represent...

Exhaustion is a synonym to strain which itself is synonymous to exertion so it's not like there's that much of a gap between the two. Plus you can't argue that exhaustion and exertion aren't words that look similar, which in turn can lead to confusion especially in non-native English speakers...

When you exert yourself, you don't spend/decrease/lose exertion, you build it up (and honestly, making it exertion points doesn't fix this issue). You lose stamina. That's my peeve with the wording here. There's also the issue of exertion not only being a synonym to exhaustion (which is a status...

Still not a fan of spending exertion. It just doesn't sound right. Just my 2 cents worth of input.

Have all the other classes been this feature packed as well? Because when you throw the subclasses on this is just a lot (unless the goal here is to test the features and spread them over 20 levels later). Anyhow - question about the hymns. Does the one that gives temp hp allow you to choose a...

Question: when you say you're advancing 5e monsters, you mean the ogl crew, right? Or will you rename (and re-image? Not sure how limiting copyright is in that regard) mind flayers etc to be able to rework them in your book?

Or just group hug the Paladin (assuming the level up one has aura of courage!). Either way - lots of ways to deal with the frightened condition by the time the group encounters a cr22 beastie so setting the DC at 15 (even if it targets Charisma and not Wisdom for some reason) is rather strange.

Just noticed as well - shouldn't it be 22 (or perhaps make Roar and Honeyed words key off Charisma making it a DC 19 save instead?) like the rest of its abilities? It's a CR 22 creature, there's no reason for it to pull its punches, especially when Calm Emotions exists.

One minor nitpick with the poison spit: Dex saving throw to avoid getting poisoned and then con saving throw to end the condition. Since it's a one target attack why not make it a ranged attack that forces the hit target to make a con save? Dex to avoid poisoning makes little sense - if you've...

So I've missed the fighter document when it was out but one thing about exertion doesn't sit well - spending it. Exertion should be something that builds up rather than being spent. Perhaps rename it into stamina/endurance or make it a pool that builds up as you use abilities (up to a cap) and...

This honestly baffles me. The mentality of 'i backed it while it ran, so only I deserve it, anything else is disrespectful'. It is elitist and the worst form of entitlement. Commercially it makes zero sense to cut off late pledges since they offer others the opportunity to invest in your...

The kingdom management part is what's not to like there. Perhaps I missed it during the tutorial but the game gives you no indication of the consequences of failing the kingdom table quests which can lead to a game over before you can even reach the final section of the game. Now if there was a...

Of course it didn't, it wasn't a computer game after all. Certain mechanics don't translate well into PNP games. It did however clearly define class roles into a system that resembles the holy trinity.

"tank, DPS, healer which D&D has never attempted" 4th edition would like to have a word with you. True it did add a 4th pillar (controller) and did hybrid roles but it has a very clear distinction between the 4 combat roles and what each could hope to achieve.

The funny thing is, the maps are designed using vtt tools. DungeonFog to be exact. The moment I saw them skimming through the pages in the video I knew the assets looked very familiar. If you're already a DF user this becomes a question of whether you want a printed/premapped (and thus fixed)...
