    D&D General How do you like your ASIs?

    I'd ditch ASIs and make the base standard array/point buy higher. If every race can get the same +2/+1 or +1/+1/+1, then there's not much of a point of having stats tying to race. If reinforcing a theme with each race is needed, they can get some ability that fits the niche.

    D&D General Rethinking the class name "Druid".

    "Tree-Hugging Cleric"

    D&D General Need wheat. Too dangerous. (worldbuilding)

    In 5e, Mold Earth is the cantrip, Move Earth is the 6th level spell.

    D&D General No More "Humans in Funny Hats": Racial Mechanics Should Determine Racial Cultures

    For the non-ASI side of things, Half-Orcs get: Intimidation proficiency, which is fine for any class. Darkvision, great for anyone. Relentless Endurance, honestly very good for any class, even helps a wizard early on since they can get to 0 quickly. Savage Attacks is the only one that really...

    Pathfinder 2E Paizo drops use of the word phylactery

    I'd go with the totally original Xurcroh.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dnd's Most Deadly Spell - MAGIC MISSILE!

    With 958 HP including the Mythic part, then about 95 wizards if the spell does the 10 average damage. Which is not a lot, but I guess they can get fried beyond the missile range, or the dragon can be a spellcaster with Shield.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dnd's Most Deadly Spell - MAGIC MISSILE!

    I assume you mean the max hp, since they already have a d8. That could help, but honestly, the issue is both having very weak stuff be able to do 1 damage (that's the power of a normal person's punch or kick, which is not too powerful, but still dangerous if it lands well), and things at...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dnd's Most Deadly Spell - MAGIC MISSILE!

    A few crabs are a deadly fight to the average commoner, so they really ought to be terrified of all living things.

    D&D 5E (2014) What are the Most Useless Combinations in D&D 5e?

    For the Breastplate, it seems like you could at least use it under normal clothes with mithral, so not totally useless.

    D&D General The Role and Purpose of Evil Gods

    There's always a place if you're determined enough.

    D&D General The Role and Purpose of Evil Gods

    Well, if the sheriff isn't doing a very thorough inspection, it's always possible to slip some tools in, they're not that big.

    D&D General The Role and Purpose of Evil Gods

    Well, it's about 90 gp for a cast, which is surely a lot, but the budget for NPC stuff is always odd. A basic CR 1/8 guard has a chain shirt, a shield and a spear, which adds up to 61 gp, so if you have those it's not unreasonable to buy a lock like that, especially since it lasts until...

    D&D General The Role and Purpose of Evil Gods

    I think just an Arcane Lock is more reasonable to be mass cast on all cells, it's just level 2 and has cheaper components. With a normal lock, it's DC 25, which is still doable by a level 1 Rogue, especially with Expertise, but still pretty hard. A +3 from dex and +4 from expertise, you'd need...

    D&D 5E (2014) 9th level NPC wizard, what is your "Minimum Personal Security" suite?

    Teleportation Circle to get out of there if he has a minute to spare. Dimension Door and Fly if he's in a hurry, that's generally enough to escape most enemies. Assuming survival is the priority. If he wants to defend the lair, it'll depend more on the layout of the place.

    D&D General Need wheat. Too dangerous. (worldbuilding)

    I'd go with introducing some Bread Elemental hunts.

    D&D General The Role and Purpose of Evil Gods

    I can say the sheriff thing was fun to read through, but I was indeed wondering what that had to do with anything.

    D&D General Are Hit Points Meat? (Redux): D&D Co-Creator Saw Hit Points Very Differently

    I personally find the luck points idea pretty silly, and some things you just can't really evade with only skill and experience, so meat is certainly a factor, although everyone just being super durable also doesn't quite work in a lot of ways (you can survive a meteor to the face, but a few...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wow! No more subraces. The Players Handbook races reformat to the new race format going forward.

    When I started playing I was really confused on how the subraces worked, if they added onto the base race or just replaced everything, probably because I mostly skimmed the PHB. Maybe they'll add the whole race description in supplementary materials to make things simpler.
