I’ve noted in multiple threads that unless an intelligent underdark creature is intending to be stealthy, they would be using magical or mundane dim lights. While you have an advantage in being stealthy in darkness with darkvision, so does your enemy. But if you light an area larger than long...

That’s essentially what we use. If it’s a d20 roll then you either have proficiency or not, and they all use the same formula (although we start at 10 + ability + proficiency). Expertise gives you advantage instead of double your proficiency bonus. Armor doesn’t provide AC anymore. It’s damage...

Thanks. Although don't get me wrong, there are things that just don't exist in my campaign. In general, only the core AD&D races are options for the most part. Things like dragonborn don't exist in my campaign, and tieflings are quite different. But this isn't really a surprise for the players...

I'd agree with that. Being able to charge with horns without a bonus to shove seems odd. But then it seems odd that it requires a feat to charge in 5e too.

I'm going through the other thread, and it seems to be only you complaining about the natural weapons. Most of the complaints seem to be about the centaur and minotaur being medium instead of large. Although TwoSix commented that the horns are no better than simple weapons, I don't really gather...

Actually, plisnithus8 specifically stated "evil creatures with any kind of intelligence" although not in his original post. Also, horns don't grow back, antlers do. I sort of agree with your commentary on mythic vs. sci-fi. It's an interesting way to look at it that I hadn't thought of. I do...

I certainly wouldn't have a problem with it, although I don't think it would be the first thing that would be done when throwing one in jail either. Although it presents a bit of a risk, it's much less than the risk of a spellcaster. But I think their objections are because the idea of having...

My only objection to this is that the DM should have some say here too. For example, I maintain the AD&D aspect of dwarves in the Forgotten Realms as not being arcane spell casters. They also have magic resistance. I really think it is a collaborative thing, but for things like available races...

Heh, debacle. I love the dramatics. Another one in this thread I love: Since you specifically invited me to read this thread, I'm going on a different tangent. You want natural weapons to scale, so somebody can choose to be a natural weapon specialist, and focus on that aspect. Well, OK...

I'm perfectly prepared to say it's an ability that doesn't make the race stronger. Except that it does, under certain circumstances. But generally speaking, in 5e design, the point is that no race is stronger, although they don't have an issue of providing a bump in power under certain...

"Try to pull off" what? Comparing unarmed strikes to unarmed strikes? Somehow I'm not finding any character builds in the rules. Or do you mean the character builds that people who are heavily focused on the mechanical aspects of character design online? Because that's one way to play the game...

Well, I think the same question can be asked about spellcasters in general since so many classes are spellcasters at 1st level. But to me, you phrased your question perfectly because the answer lies within. There is a misconception that each race and class needs to have a mechanical niche or...

This sounds interesting. Can you expand on what you’re thinking with specifics? Particularly the damage bonus.
