I am a gay male player and play female characters about 75% of the time. It has not caused problems.

Somewhat off topic, but the popularity of livestream D&D shows reminds me of the rise of reality TV shows in the 1990s and early 2000s (I am showing my age here). The Real World on MTV, a show about seven strangers living together in a loft in NYC was the first one I remember. It debuted in...

In the PHB, I think the half-elf still rivals the mountain dwarf as a caster. A floating +2, +1, +1 (under Tasha's variant), darkvision, 30 ft. speed (vs. 25 for dwarf), resistant to charm magic, immune to sleep magic, proficiency in two skills of your choice and a language proficiency of your...

The subclasses I really want to play are: Twilight Domain Cleric. Peace Domain Cleric. Circle of the Stars Druid. Aberrant Mind Sorcerer. Clockwork Soul Sorcerer. Genie Warlock.

Because Tasha's allows racial bonuses to be moved around, I was considering a mountain dwarf genie warlock with +2 CON and +2 CHA. He is a miner whose activities unearthed a dao trapped in a gem. He freed the dao in exchange for his warlock powers. And now he has become an adventurer to get...

The mountain dwarf's proficiency in medium armor does not provide shield proficiency. It works differently from the Moderately Armored feat. If I play a Mountain Dwarf with Heavily Armored feat, am I meant to use a shield?

I'm looking forward to playing a genie warlock. Considering both fluff and crunch, it is my favorite warlock patron. Genies have always been one of favorite D&D monsters.

Level wise, I like to start at level 3 and finish around 12-13. How long this takes can vary widely depending on how often the campaign plays. Generally from one to two years. Perhaps 18 months on average.

When I saw the thread title I thought it was going to be something similar to an EN World thread from 15 years ago -- "Lame-o Characters In Your Party." :LOL:

Most of the time they do not. I have played gay Asian male characters, but they are maybe 10% of my past characters. The one true human character I am currently playing is in Shadowrun and is a heterosexual black female. The other is an asexual Vudrani (Indian) female sorcerer who was born a...

Thanks for this tip. I was trying to decide between the BLM and the NAACP bundles. Your advice tipped the scales!

Some evil entities seem to work better as gods rather than as demons or devils. In the Forgotten Realms, Beshaba is the goddess of bad luck and accidents. I suppose you could have a Demon Lord of Bad Luck and Accidents but it seems ... odd. If she is now a demon lord, what is going on with...

Yeah, that's good. Some of the gods might even look upon entities who create warlock pacts as "contract employees" who can put together a "suicide squad" lol. Why put their precious clerics in danger when they can have some other entity do the nasty work.

It would not be hard to create an all-warlock version of the "iconic 4." Fighter: Hexblade Pact of the Blade with the Thirsting Blade and Lifedrinker invocations. Wizard/Evoker: Fiend Pact of the Tome with the Book of Ancient Secrets and Agonizing Blast invocations. Cleric: Celestial Pact of...

While I have not played in the single-class game the OP has described, it did get me thinking which class which make for the most well-rounded and optimal single class party. I agree that all clerics and all bards would be high on the list. All warlock as well, since the mix/match of patrons...

I have not seen my family or friends in three months.

In our latest campaign (before the coronavirus put it on hold) one of my groups had a situation where EVERYONE was playing a cross-gender PC. The one female player was running a male PC. The four male players were running female PCs. We did not plan that but it just happened.

I play opposite gender characters about 66% of the time. I am a sucker for the magical girl trope. The other 34% are magical boys, lol.

If you want to play D&D but prefer much more detailed rules I found 3.X much more detailed. I have not played Pathfinder 2E but I hear it has highly detailed rules.

I should hope wizards are weak. Any wizard player worth their salt knows to make strength their dump stat.
