Just so I am clear...it seemed from the reactions of some posters across sites that the lore is ALL elves can change and do change sex. Is that the case or is it just some who are so "blessed" have the ability? For me the distinction would be the difference between allowing and having it...

Somehow I doubt you complain about African fiction or Asian fiction featuring characters that look more like their majority population. I also assume you are well intentioned. i saw several female character in Conan stories and even the movie as quite capable. I am thinking of the pirate...

I think you just gave me an idea. Would WOTC be able to give a free pdfndex of subjects for all published material? I think that might be a solution. For example, I recently had Hobgoblins figure prominently in the game. The index could direct me both to Volo's guide as well as Monster...

Hello all, I have really enjoyed 5e and was again DM for a big set piece adventure. I just started thinking as I found some material long forgotten... The new format of the books finds a wide audience. Each of the books past the core 3 have things for players and DMs alike. Just curious...

You may be right. Of all the books, SCAG is my least favorite and for the reasons you suggest. My group is only into the Realms to the extent that it is baked into adventures and we don't always feel like changing all the names. WOTC is wise to continue to have little boxes saying what things...

That is interesting. I cannot stand the Realms for the most part and it simply does not come up much for me. Admittedly, there is a lot I cannot use in Sword Coast AG, but all of the core books, Volo's, Xanathar's seem pretty well free of its taint--sorry to use such a negative term :)...

Word to your mother! And it is the way I like it! I must apologize outright and say I have never gotten into Warcraft (aside from the FIRST and SECOND ones in the early 90s!) and dislike the nomenclature of striker etc. We make characters and play, period. I enjoy the idea of being able to...

I think this is correct. I admit even as long time strategy game and D&D player that at first, 5e took a while to learn due to interference learning. For me, reactions and bonus actions seemed odd when I did not have a ready list of bonus actions to consider if you will. However, being...

Do tieflings vary in appearance based on their new possible lineages? I know they may have some new features, but what about their physical appearance?

My favorite character (or one of them) i 1e AD&D was a cleric. I somehow found a +2 mace and some other goodies and still was no match for a specialized fighter! at. all. But it was so fun. The role was very cool. We also had a lot of undead in different scenariors and being able to turn...

The difference is how we think about the same fact. My point is that this particular additional granularity doesn't do much for many players. You are right, one could take a feat or multiclass, whatever but is has a cost. I am fine with that too. From a narrative point it doesn't bother me...

Exactly

Look, I love this edition. I like a lot of the art work. My group laughed and mocked the PHB pics of the halflings immediately!

I wasted time on a now extinct board for some time. It was toxic. I ended up reading arguments about things other than D&D much of the time to try to get the content I wanted. Here I have actually used suggestions and so forth--tested ideas in theory--outside of my own gaming group. So not...

I only got him to third level before the campaign changed! It was a fun idea for inspiration. By all means! Get inspired by the Sith and make your warlock creepy!

Nice! I had one attempt at a Darth Vader wannabe...was taking EB with repelling blast but planned for the beams to be invisible. Now with the grasping invocation you could do even more! Also planned to have dagger or shortword with green flame blade when things got too close! Ya know, like a...

For real. Go crazy. Get weird. Pick a well known fantasy figure you like and ask the people on EnWorld to stat it up. Perhaps you will get different class/background suggestions...but some of them will hit home for someone with an open mind. I would say that total granularity in bonuses...

It really depends on which part of the character's career we look at. If we compare the value to the fighter, surely GWM is less for war cleric. But for one or maybe two combats it can be big early on. Remember, the war cleric is going to get more swings with a greatsword than anyone levels...

I agree. In a similar vein, I am always tempted to take one level of sorcerer if theme appropriate to gain low level slots (at least two) which I do not at all mind using hex with. Magic initiate is similar and would be a fine way to use hex. Personally these are the only ways I am using hex...
