Oh yeah, definitely. The subclass is borderline overpowered on its own. I was never even considering allowing both it and rage bonus damage to Dex attacks on the same character.

In general in D&D, and in this campaign in particular, I mostly view abilities at levels over about 14-15 as pretty much academic. 99% of campaigns won't get that far, and this one I certainly intend to be winding up in the low-mid teen level range.

That was my impression. And the DMsGuild subclass I linked in the OP has a 6th-level ability that costs an action to apply disadvantage against all incoming attacks for 1 minute - I have some definite balance concerns about that one. Still, I think the player is fairly intent on playing a...

Fair question. Wizard, warlock, warlord (the Kibblestasty one), and one undecided at this point, possibly paladin. One of my main balance concerns is if i houserule to make Dex attacks work with rage etc, the barbarian might end up TOO tanky, and to seriously threaten them I'd have to use...

There was a (now-deleted) Facebook post in official Kobold Press channels that said something like ‘we’re no longer in the business of making gaming material out of someone else’s culture’. There was then several offers by Asian writers to contribute. I’ve got no idea where, if anywhere, that...

Depends on the campaign, really. Here's the character creation house rules for the Dragonlance game that I'm starting up this week - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DzcJHVcBdBhUKlBeYhIay8o7ZSH9O8v5/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=116758860872678777448&rtpof=true&sd=true There's a mix there, race...

That was my concern. But pretty much all finesse fighters/rangers etc already do that anyway. It’s not exactly seamless because barbarians don’t get a fighting style, so he’d only be doing base weapon damage with a off-hand weapon unless he spent a feat to get the Two Weapon Fighting style...

I have a player who wants to play an elf barbarian (or at least a primal instinctual woodland warrior - PC is a kagonesti in a dragonlance game) but more a fast and graceful fighter rather than a high-Str beefcake. So, Dex. Barbarian is obviously built on the assumption of high Str, and there’s...

Shipping costs to us here Australia can be brutal, but to be honest, that's true for non-kickstarter purchases too, and the market here is small enough that we don't really have many local game stores that stock small-run products so you're going to be paying the shipping one way or another...

First of all, is the NPC actually ready and prepared to sacrifice themselves? Do they know what's coming? Because if not, that could be one way to do things. Have the PCs hold off all sorts of bad guys while the NPC wrestles with their internal demons (probably in visible dreamscape form so...

I was looking for a low-level one-shot recently and i considered this one, but eventually knocked it back because i had a major problem with I ended up going with modified Wolves of Welton instead.

I hope so, but it really seems like it's been on the backburner for a long time now. When was the last actual Midgard product? Was it Southlands maybe? Wastes of Chaos had some Midgardy stuff in it, but it wasn't really a setting book, more of a chaos-themed toolkit. The patreon (which...

I predict that people will get upset on ENWorld.

Caleb, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Renfield, from Dracula. Mr Morden, from Babylon 5. Arguably Londo, too. Anyone currently merged with the Venom symbiont. Quite a number of Lovecraftian bad guys. The Scorpion King, from the Mummy films. (Presumably one of his patron’s curses involves...

I suspect it probably didn't even occur to them. 3e is nearly 15 years old now, the OGL was still seen as pretty much rock-solid at the time it was first published (and in the wake of WotC trying shenanigans with the GSL around that time, GR withdrawing from the OGL would probably not have been...

They've said that it'll be entirely based on the existing 3rd ed system. Hopefully they'll tidy up some sore points, like the overpricedness of Shrinking, the messiness of Affliction, and the lack of anything resembling 2e's Independent modifier, which sorely limits the flexibility of the...

Oh, also : show some damn restraint when it comes to backing rpg kickstarters. Or at least hold back on going the hardcopy version and go for the pdf once in a while. I’ve got probably two dozen hardback pledges pending (some of which are big multibook packages), and have a bit of buyers remorse...

In Kaz's novel, he fought a dragon made of stone, though i remember almost none of the details. This is the original cover art from that book.

Stop planning campaigns that I might possibly one day run, and get off my butt and run one. So far so good - session 0 of Dragonlance: the Oath and the Shadow is scheduled for January 9…
