No, it would not be a turn off for me, and I would pick the same fantasy race for my character as is my usual practice when playing D&D, which is whichever one results from rolling on this table (as long as the race is an available option in the game in which I'm playing): d100 Race 01...

Jane McAlevey, longtime labor organizer and scholar, has died at the age of 59 of multiple myeloma.

Bible takes another swing with Waythe at the staggering giant. Waythe: 1D20+10 = [5]+10 = 15 "Hold still, will ya?" she admonishes the giant in frustration as her blade deflects from its armor.

It's also the farthest point on the tetrahedron away from the Plane of Fire.

Here's a sketched map to illustrate the concept: . I'm imagining this is on the inside of the tetrahedron.

From this trailer, it has a lot of the look of one of my favorite movies, Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979), up to the color pallet and the actor playing the victim pictured at the beginning of the trailer strongly resembling Isabelle Adjani, but with a modern horror movie feel.

@FitzTheRuke, I think you missed Bible's movement last round to AP-29. Bible steps up to the giant between Valda and Cordit and lunges forward with Waythe. Bible moves to AO-28. Waythe: 1D20+10 = [12]+10 = 22 Slashing damage: 4D6+6 = [5, 4, 3, 5]+6 = 23 The giant must make a DC 15 Strength...

The this in my statement, that I'm saying the OSR eschews, is a focus on progressive fair challenge, not "not having the BBEG attack the PCs at low level". It's a very strange thing to imagine I'm saying the OSR supports.

It's a legacy of the progressive "fair" challenge focus of "Classic" play culture. You can see proponents of OSR eschew this in favor of more variable challenge in statements about players learning when to run from a fight and the like.

Yes, I use the above rules when characters with darkvision are trying to see something in the dark. It works out fine.

These are the portfolios I'd generally expect to be part of a pantheon in one of my games: Air, sky, wind, poetry/song (usually having a "king of the gods" role) ~ Odin or Zeus Light, stars/planets ~ Selûne Water, oceans, rivers, music ~ Deep Sashelas Growing, living things, plants, animals ~...

It's an evil act but a minor one if not done to further the cause of Evil, so it doesn't make your character LE right away. But after, say, three to five times, I'd say you're headed for LE territory.

I thought about this some more and didn't make many changes, but I wanted to update what I posted here with something less tentative. So the idea is the elemental planes are arranged in a tetrahedron with the following faces: Fire Air Water Earth (The other inner planes (Material, Feywild, and...

Martin R. Stolar, civil rights and criminal defense attorney, has died. He was 81 years old.

I've been thinking along these lines as well. I think the Manual of the Planes (1987) got the para- and quasi-elemental planes a little wrong, especially the quasi-elemental. They just don't make a lot of sense to me as presented. I prefer if, rather than a ring, the elemental planes are...

In the cosmological scheme to which I generally default in my games, the elemental planes have a lower placement conceptually within the Ethereal Plane than does the Material Plane and are where the elementals "fell" when they were driven out and banished from the Material Plane by the gods just...

I voted for the second option with the caveat that, for everything from early 2016 forward, I prefer 5.1.

According to Wikipedia, the 5th Ed. SRD was released in January 2016 and updated to SRD 5.1 in May 2016. There don't seem to be any rules changes between the two versions (the update had to do with the inclusion of certain IP and the term DM, if I recall correctly), so I think the publication of...

WotC obviously doesn't want it to have its own name. They want you to call it D&D or 5E, just names that are already in use.
