Nope... Up vote one race, then down vote a different race.

Then ya gotta vote for something as well. ;) Your rules, not mine. :D

Now that it has finally gotten down to a more reasonable number of options, I finally have options to upvote and downvote that will have greater impact and ones I actually would like to win -- so, otherwise if people feel like they don't have anything left to vote for, don't vote I guess... 🤷‍♂️

That and the Gem Dragonborn are the next to go if I have my way. ;)

Those two will be gone soon enough. :D

I was thinking about it... Maybe next year. ;)

No, the saving throws never retcon the game. In the example you provided, the DEX save would be for the PC moving off of the pit before they fall in. How they move off depends on the PC and narrative (jumping off, grabbing the edge so they don't fall in, etc.).

Ok, then I would max it out at 1d8 personally, but 1d10 if you want to mirror Monk, at 5th, 11th, 17th, making it d4 - d6 - d8 - d10. For me it would be about keeping it balanced with other Fighter builds: With the Thrown Weapon Fighting Style, you get +2 to damage, just like Dueling. With 4...

Before I can respond, I need to ask: Is there a perceived problem you are trying to solve with this? Or is this just something you think Fighters (or warriors in general) should have simply "because"?

While I see your point, I don't agree really with it. I find the saves in 5E both broad enough and clear enough in their distinctions that they work well IME. My only issue with them is more with how much the "strong saves" are used compared to the "weak saves." In that respect, I can see more...

In what way? No, that is the point of saves and assigning the DC. If a poison is so potent as to instantly kill, either the DC and/or the damage would need to be high enough to have that be the case most of the time. Sure, again that is the point of saves. You could go many routes IMO...

Really LOL, these two points both account for it, or perhaps you just don't understand that? 🤷‍♂️ They are both about touching the poison, after all. ;) But, if you want even more possibilities": perhaps there are small tears in the gloves and some poison got through? These are adventuring...

Because there are several ways poison can be delivered besides direct touch? Perhaps touching the chest disturbed the poison and some parts were inhaled? Or after touching the chest the PC accidentally touched part of their exposed skin? Or any other explanation Really? It is D&D? Oh, well...

If the player says they imagined having gloves, I say sure. BUT that doesn't negate the poison. If anything, I allow the player to make the save with advantage, but they ARE making the save since they touched the chest. FWIW, fine clothes, traveler clothes, and cold winter clothes would...

Here is my current foci descriptions:
