I'll take Heritages for 100, @Steampunkette ;)

I wish there was a 'groan' emoji among the emojis used in Post reply. :p "Ranger Will Dobinson" requires a WIS saving throw. :p

Now you've done it. Now that's all we are going to talk about on this thread. ;) "Quick, look over there!"

Looking forward to backing your latest project. :)

One that worked a little too well? ;)

If Toril is getting a proper campaign book, Abeir should get one too. It's the true Forgotten Realms as the Toril setting over last couple of decades has received most of the attention. :p

True. In Level Up, Background equates to what your character did before they became an adventurer. And that time was mostly taken up by whatever job they had at the time.

I am starting to wonder why D&D and Level Up equate Background with Profession.

It would be very boring. :p

Backgrounds tend to be universal regardless of what species your player happens to be in D&D. But they could be tweaked to reflect aspects found in one species and not in another using the Background customization rules in the DMG. An Elven Soldier, for instance, could have proficiencies in...

Yeah. However, it would be nice if they would come up with something like 3e's Races books (Races of the Wild, Races of Destiny, etc.) for 5e. Something that has species specific feats or subclasses (like the ones in PF1).

What about a Rules Expansion on the Species in D&D?

If you don't mind some additional crunch in your Ranger, there is Level Up's spell-less take on the Ranger. https://a5e.tools/rules/ranger There is also a spell-less ranger from Unearthed Arcana. https://dnd5e.wikidot.com/ranger-no-spells And when this happens, it's a good idea to find a...

This potential 'rules expansion' book ought to come with the 5.5e version of some of the species from 3e's Expanded Psionics Handbook such as the Elan and the psionic versions of the Githyanki, the Githzerai, the Duergar and the Thri-Kreen. :) Maybe even throw in a Blue Goblin while they are at it.

True. The Flight, Freeze or Fawn response has been hardwired into the brain, but it's a subconscious thing. You see a lion and your body reacts before your mind does. Sadly, not many people take this route when they are about to take a risk. They're gambling, consciously or subconsciously, that...

There is nothing rational about fear. It's about subconsciously going into a flight, freeze or fawn response over a real or perceived threat. On top of that, humans are really bad at assessing risk.

I saw this article a couple days ago. It was pretty amusing to read how an AI wasn't a big help at reinforcing the conservatives' narrative about reality. Reality just is and can't be narrated by anybody.

Level Up has Skill Specialties, areas within a given skill that a character can especially be good at. Whenever a skill check is being performed that involves one of these Skill Specialties, you get to roll an Expertise die (d4) to determine its' outcome.

My group typically gets together on our Discord channel to roleplay 5e around 8:30pm EST (7:30 CST, most of my group lives in this time zone) and will role-play until at least 11:30pm EST. However, we have had sessions run close to 1 am EST in the morning because we didn't want to stop in the...

Level Up actually has an Engineering skill that would as @EzekielRaiden pointed out, fit better than a Clockwork skill. Engineering. An Engineering check allows a character to know a fact or advance a project involving building, invention, or mathematics. The most commonly used ability score...
