Let me rephrase. I hope this isn't just where they land with these monsters.

Yea, I really hope this isn't where they land on official living spells. Living spells shouldn't just recreate the spell effects they are born from, but rather become organic extensions of how they interact with the world. Also, I hope they create versions of living spells that combine two kinds...

If you are able to use homebrew material, I have a Pay-What-You-Want (so you could get it for free) product on the DMsGuild that describes a Path of the Hulk barbarian archetype. It may be helpful. You can find it here: Dungeon Masters Guild

Find a way to get the friends cantrip maybe? Or constantly casting prestidigitation to cancel out the smell? Role playing wise, you could try to disguise it to convince people that you're a burn victim or have some form of non-contagious leprosy? That might instill enough pity from people to...

I'm in the same boat. I feel like if you just give bonus skill proficiencies, is too powerful. I am also reluctant to allow Int to modify initiative just because that is a unique ability for the warmage, and I don't want to step on their toes. I also don't think that would solve much, since Dex...

Yea, I allow tool, language, vehicle, instrument, or game set. You get one per Int bonus.

Sure, that's viable. But in my personal opinion, such an invocation should either add the spell to your spells known without limiting the number of times you could cast it, or allow you to cast it once per day at its most basic level without using spell slots or adding it to your spell list. The...

You can do what you like. But I wouldn't. Those are both 5th level spells. IMO they are powerful enough giving the warlock an additional 4th or 5th level spell slot once a day in exchange for an invocation. I've also said why those particular spells are problematic for me. So then now in...

If you want something that allows it via RAW, there is catapult, and as others have said also spiritual weapon, animate objects, and sword burst. Dancing and returning magical weapons could also achieve this effect. However, any ranged attack or spell can be reflavored to be flying swords...

A lot of the ones I do allow are usually framed in a way that stays away from realism. For example, bigotry and racism may exist between actual races (elves, dwarves, ect) but it is not ok to be represented any more realistically than that. Also, many of the others I chose are ok as a tool for...

Apologies for that, I was too harsh when I said that. I certainly see where you are coming from and your argument has brought me closer to the middle (though I think I would still end up running it without penalty). I think ultimately it boils down to how we prioritize or value racial abilities...

Interesting. I had not caught that one before. However, I still don't see it breaking the game to exchange a skill proficiency for a tool proficiency. In fact, more often than not a tool proficiency (outside of Thieves' Tools, as this particular tool is highly valued) is a sub-optimal choice...

Hey @Perun. So first note that I am not trying to change or persuade your thinking. All play styles are valid. But I would like to engage your argument. This is true, to an extent (I'll get more into my differences in thinking about it below). However, it is not just "built-in." A built-in...

Yep. Conjure Elemental. Being able to summon an extra creature for nearly every fight would be problematic both as a DM that has to adjust for the extra "party member" and as the other players at the table that have to wait for the warlock to essentially almost always be taking two turns, or...

For me, it depends on the spell/invocation. If the spell is a more problematic one that would harm the game if it could be spammed using warlock spell slots, I alter the invocation to be able to be cast at its base level once per long rest. If it is one that would not be so problematic, the...

I'm not really a fan of this idea. This would essentially mean that any player taking disguise kit as their Envoy Warforged tool is making a walking make-up compact. And hey, if you want to play a Warforged stylist akin to Zohan, then that totally works. However, at least within the Eberron...

I have a few thoughts. First, while there are a lot of Warforged in Eberron, I would not say they are common or make up a significant portion of the population. Especially since the Treaty of Thronehold required the destruction of all remaining creation forges and the creation of any new...

I would agree with you if it were a normal disguise kit. Perhaps you are not familiar, but the Envoy Warforged presented in the Wayfarer's Guide to Eberron gets a built-in tool that they are proficient in. Think Robocop when he has his hand change to interface with computers, or R2D2 with its...

You know, thinking about it a bit more, I'd say any average warforged would have disadvantage with disguise kit checks to pass as a different race, due to they limited range of affectation. But for an envoy warforged that chooses a disguise kit as their racial tool, that seems too punitive. I'd...

I personally would likely say such a disguise check would be at disadvantage. However, since this is a rogue, between expertise and reliable talent that penalty wouldn't even matter.
