Thank you. I'll be back with revisions soon.

I forgot armor. Massive Damage: Your character has a Massive Damage Threshold, like in d20 Modern. Take more damage than that from a single action (an attack, a multiattack, a spell), roll two CON saves (DC modified by the attack and Mortality). Pass both, no problem; pass one, take +X...

For Context: I am not a big fan of 5e, so I don't have the same level of in-depth experience I have with, say, 3.5 or PF1. I'm pretty much ripping out all of the content of 5e to upholster its structure with content I like better. Which is to say, nothing I am proposing here should be construed...

Just want to note that I love what you did with the hints of a background I gave you.

Man, that is some cut of that song. Rivals the use of One for Punisher and Come As You Are for The Defenders.

This is how I run my games, and how I prefer to play in games, and why I normally prefer being the Token Evil in a standard goodly campaign. Ask me about Terminator some time. With some caveats. The advice you've been given about competing interests versus conflicting interests is very solid...

Kachil'kcha Thri-Kreen Rogue (Assassin) 3/Bard 2 Chaotic Evil Kachil'kcha is what the other thri-kreen call-- in hushed tones-- a zik'chil or "priest of change"; her pale, greenish chitin is studded with a constellation of expensive gemstones and thri-kreen runes in precious metals. She has a...

Workshopping this: Standard array (15/14/13/12/10/8) or 27 point buy first, assigned to taste. Next, roll 6d4 for each ability in order, recording the individual die results. The player chooses one ability to keep all six dice, two abilities to keep the best five, and the other three...

I would also really like to do something clever with the Vrusk but I just don't have any ideas. Likewise, weren are big, ogres are big, giff are big. Is that enough? Similarly, t'sa are small and kappa are small; should I have medium and/or large dragonborn? And if so, combined with what?

Classes and Clades Like I mentioned, one of my main goals in replacing all of the classes in 5e was to remove Fighter, Rogue, Mage and Cleric as "default" options, in favor of a larger number of narrower classes. I'm also removing the Monk class because everyone has ki, fast movement, and...

Oh... another big one for me, though not a long-running one: Street Fighter, West Marches, Anti-Canon set during the Rise of Shadoloo with quite possibly a huge heaping serving of Metal Gear Solid, mixing many of the former's ideas about martial artists with many of the latter's ideas about...

Corsairs of the Celestial Sea is... the setup for a private D&D game I want to run for some of my friends and family. The premise is to take the modern, single-sphere approach to Spelljammer and aggressively ramp up the implied Chinese fantasy elements of Realmspace. I'm an old school guy, and...

Xixchil would just be a thri-kreen with a weird class combo, if I can avoid -INT or -CHA. Gith can be either Y or Z as long as he's got a convincing means of faking the other's "psionics" spell-like abilities. Lizardfolk and Warforged are out of the box.

It was a college fad in the 1920s.

Color me interested, but I'd have to put some thought into coming up with deep dark secrets; I'm accustomed to playing Evil, but I'm the Token Evil Teammate and Refuge in Audacity type. General ideas: lizardfolk Actor assassin/bard; some sort of thri-kreen (xixchil) assassin/healer; Warforged...

You know. I think, five or six years from now, I would like to see Strange New Worlds end the way we all know it has to end, dark and bittersweet. And then we get the TOS reboot that I think we all suspect is coming. But it starts with a feature film, and that feature is a slow burn adaptation...

Street Fighter: the Storytelling Game and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness are two of the best roleplaying games ever published and even if you don't particularly value the rest of White Wolf or Palladium's outputs on their own merits-- I'm lukewarm at best but I acknowledge...

Gnomes and halflings, even the sinister cannibal Athas halflings are happiest race on Athas. Dromite and xeph very happy. Tortle, hadozee, giff. Vanara.
