What? The whole end monologue is about how Maud’dib will bring peace...except in the book it's a known universal spanning jihad that cost 6 billion lives.

The fighter I found most interesting was the UA Scout Fighter. It got more skill proficiencies, and an unique way to bump certain skill checks related to the Exploration pillar. Incentive not to wear heavy armor was also neat and thematic. I would love a version of that subclass that wouldn't...

I have heard of Sir Rob Bertplant. Indeed it is said he comes from the land of the ice and snow, from the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow. Also that he was quite the mariner and explorer of new lands. And perhaps he even wielded the hammer of the gods.

The could just be using a component pouch and not using an instrument as a spellcasting focus and maybe not carry an instrument at all.

I think I would want more Fighter subclasses with identity and out of combat schticks. PDK and Samurai get a bit of this Royal Envoy and Elegant Courtier, and in fact I'd go so far as to say PDK is even simpler and easier for new players to grok than champion. Most new subclasses seems to just...

The last bit of star trek I really loved was First Contact. I never even finished watching Voyager. But I might have to now because I'm all on board for this.

An excellent warning. While the Slayer can really make you feel like Turin Turambar, it still also makes you Turin Turambar. So as a GM it helps to be prepared to deal with a nearly unkillable hero. Poison, fire, and nets have all been useful tools for the Orcs and Goblins I've thrown at my party.

Which Transformers 1986 or 2007? Or the sequels of 2007, or the Spin-off/Reboot Bumblebee?

To initiates of those faiths maybe, but to a common lay person I could easily see the possible confusion.

But what about a Bard, Celestial Pact Warlock, Circle of Wildfire Druid, or Artificer who can heal and return the dead to living. Would your average person be able to distinguish one of them from an actual Cleric?

This has been mentioned. Zedturtle's reply echoes my own thoughts on the matter:

You just reminded me I have an introductory PDF for the Witcher TTRPG that I never read through. Time to read that now.

I was going to say this. But without the latin, because barbarian.

There was a thread on here about someone adapting it for an ASOIAF campaign. Anyway here is what I think. The Shadow system is pretty tied to the setting. It could work for another setting if that setting had the same assumption that the player characters are enemies of The Shadow (whatever...

If I make a Fighter with the Uthgardt Tribe Member Background guess what other cultures are going to call him? An Uthgardt Barbarian. Likewise if I make a Barbarian with the Noble or Knight background no one is going to think of him as a Barbarian. So that's a no from me dawg.

This is my gift. This is my curse.

Spiked Armor exists in 5e. It does modify a specific unarmed attack, if you have the correct training. So there is some precedent on the subject (whether or not it's good precedent I'm not so sure.)

Things like this are probably the biggest reason I may implement the X-Card at my home game even though I'm confident it will never be used. I don't think it's supposed to be a tool for the majority of tables. The majority will take care of themselves. But I will gladly bend over backwards to...

Hill Dwarf Battlerager is my go to Wolverine. Temp HP for reckless attacks is a pretty great regeneration substitute. I just refluff Spiked armor as spiked gauntlets.

Retaliation just feels more thematic to me on a Berserker than even Frenzy "You hit me, I hit you"
