Agreed. The parallel of a paladin is a bard.

That's what 4th edition tried to address with their changes to the origins of dragonborn and tieflings though. By giving them a culture, and a history in the world, they cease to be "monsters" while still being marked as "other". Human villagers don't have to *like* dragonborn or tieflings, but...

Our table uses defense rolls instead of AC, from that one Unearthed Arcana awhile back. Also, rapiers don't exist, and scimitars are non-light, finesse, d6/d8 versatile weapons. Any class that specifically got rapier proficiency instead gets scimitar proficiency. The one Big Change, that we...

Homebrew Cleric Domain: LGBT Domain (Positive & Respectful) This is fun and lighthearted, I like it. But you'll be happy to know that actually there are only two non-LGBT domains, War and Death. All the other published domains, including the new ones in Xanathar's Guide to Everything, are...

I don't allow feats in my games. Fighters do just fine. Those extra stat points go into rounding out other stats not directly related to fighting, and those higher secondary stats + basic proficiencies give my players plenty to do outside of hitting things. It's true that the fighter doesn't...

I'm not really seeing why you couldn't just do this with the Battle Master.

Don't let them roll free Arcana checks in the middle of an opponent's turn. It'll slow the game down and it isn't compelling gameplay. Either tell them or don't tell them, whatever suits your style and your table, but don't make them roll for it. That's my recommendation. Sent from my iPhone...

Start with the "Sewer Plague" from the DMG. Adjust the save DC to taste. Now add a rule that says "if you drive off this disease with magic, you can catch it again. But if you catch this disease and recover from it on your own, you'll never catch it again." Then make anyone who isn't immune...

Those are just the rules from Third Edition, OP. I like that Fifth Edition isn't Third Edition. You clearly feel otherwise, so feel free to run Fifth Edition more like Third Edition in your game. Indulge your enthusiasm! You've already got your house rule right there and everything. Hell, it's...

Ah, you're right. I was making that call from memory (hence the 'pretty sure') so thank you for correcting me.

The official Realms answer, for the time being, is that the offspring would just be a tiefling. Because since 4th edition, if there's at least one tiefling involved in the creation of a child, the child will be a tiefling. And, I'm pretty sure Volo's made it clear that 5th edition assimar are...

Oh yes, I removed that whole section of entirely. Not only was deeply uncomfortable with the content as is, but one of my players wanted to play an Uthgardt herself, since the Sword Coast guide provides that as an option for character background.

Heh, yeah I admit I was being a little impish in my suggestion. But I honestly didn't hate that mechanic. I played a fighter who used it back in Murder In Baldur's Gate, during the playtest. Though the creation rules did allow you to get an 18 right out the gate, so the rest of the party may...

If you aren't liking the re-rolls, you could just switch back to the playtest version of Great Weapon Fighting style: Do your strength modifier in damage when you miss someone with a weapon attack.

I've never had a PC come back from the dead, since I don't kill characters without their player's express permission, so Sent from my iPhone using EN World

In honor of that 52-pages-and-counting "Queer D&D" thread, here's a pair of low-fantasy lesbians. (The Elemental Logic series is not as well known as Game of Thrones or Conan or the like, but I can't recommend it highly enough.) Karis G'deon - Laurie J. Marks Goliath, Nature Cleric, Artisan...

Let me tell you about Suvea of the Dawncaller. She was a goliath who grew up and learned to fight on a greatship full of frost giant pirates. Now I played Suvea from 3rd level to 8th. She's a single classed fighter, battle master subclass. In her build, I focused focused entirely on hit...
