I agree simulation really is an important. Is more of a sense of connection to the backdrop. By shoving a whole bunch of different species to the edges where you don't interact with them and the world doesn't have any connection to them the players who then play those species also lack...

D&D tend to go out it's what when it actually describes species specifics by deeming that "long lived species" become physically adults early and don't show real lost from age for centuries. Usually to allow players to play a 100 year old elf, 200 year old elf, 300 year old elf, 400 year old...

But I have heard people say that race/species often devolves into a power gaming or cosmetic aspect because the setting has few to no meaningful ties to every race/species and the in world gameplay. Especially in human centric worlds where the nonhumans are just treated as different color...

I always felt that someone could print an simpler RPG where you can choose to level your class or level your species and that's the only multiclassing that was allowed. And make $$$. And the Dragonborn class would be like the 5e Playtest Gishy Dragon Sorcerer.

I realized that I allow for 3 weapon Fighting and I'd allow a Dragonborn who takes the feat to attack with a nick weapon attached to their tail. Tri Wielder General Feat (Prerequisite: Level 4+, Strength or Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.) Tri Wielding. When you make the extra...

My point was that elves and dwarves do not need to spend more resources than humans because they game rules assume that elves and dwarves gain a physically adult and fertile body in the same amount of years as a human: ~20 years. But a dwarf lives for another 200 years in that body. And an...

But D&D is not Tolkien nor Middle Earth. D&D dwarves and elves are physically and mentally able to be valuable adult members of society at the same age as humans. As long as you have the resources, it makes no sense why an elf or dwarven would expend significantly more resources on their...

My point is that the generations of dwarves and elves are a BS excuse by World builders in order to inflate human population and deflate elf and dwarf population. Because in no way and nowhere do most settings say that an elf male and an elf female can only have one offspring within a...

Personally I am a huge fan of Magic Genetics 1) Humanoid species can gain special racial features by gaining enough HD or levels and going through physical training, spiritual meditation, or magical ritual. Dragonborn can grow wings, tails, or extra arms. Tieflings can grow wings, tails, extra...

In my game Default Dragonborn don't have wings nor tails. But Dragonborn of martial or physical fitness can grow wings, a functional tail, or a 2nd pair of arms. And a spell can grant it as well

The bolded is the mistake. Humans in the time periods D&D replicate... die a lot. Yes, human populations can explode. But until medical and agricultural advancement occurs, humans hit a population cap and sloooows dooown. It goes from 5/5 children surviving to marriage and family to 2.5/5...

Actions Multiattack. The warrior (Battlemaster) makes two Rapier or Heavy Crossbow attacks. Rapier Melee Attack Roll: +5, reach 5 ft. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) Slashing damage. The warrior also creates one of the following effects: Disarm. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 13) or...

All are fair. I want them to be knowledgeable about the core '24 four and their colors earlier SubclassColor ChampionBrown Battlemaster ??? Eldritch Knight ??? Psi WarriorPink Then spring an orange cloak with a '14 subclass like Echo Knight :devilish:

I don't even think people prefer 1 anymore. Kinda feeling that "modern" setting have no problem with tons of elves and dwarves and them being as seen as humans.

Yeah but many post 1990s setting have elves and dwarves be very active. So there is a sense of dissonance.

That never made sense to me. Dwarves and Elves live longer. And they age slower. And they have healing magic or stronger bodies. And they don't fight internal wars (after the first major subrace one) So they're hundred year olds and 200 year olds would still be alive when humans elderly would...

Humaniods Most of the Eldritch Knights and Arcane Archers are elves. Well I was just going to change their attacks. Like the Champion would be the standard 2 attacks Greatsword/Longbow Eldritch Knight would get Greatsword/Cantrips Arcane Archer would have a weaker 1d10 Longbow but be able...

In the one I created during 4e, Dragonborn 1) Each climate had Dragonborn matching the dragons native to that climate. 2) The players loved Dragonborn and saw it ridiculous that a game called Dungeon and Dragons didn't lean hard into Dragon people.

One of the rolling villianous enemies I use when I DM is a planar, multiversal Warrior Guild of warriors who travel the planes and settings, collecting impressionable warriors and magic equipment, and competing with the party for loot. (pretend to roll on a Random Encounter table) Me: Suddenly...
