I'd like to see this too. Yup. I did Porthos pretty easily with the RAW.

Oh yeah, that's right. Maybe, depends on how it works. I think those spells allow for exceptions for particular individuals (can't tell off the top of my head)?

I'm really liking the flexibility of 5e so far, but I know it may be a while before any official products come out that give players more choices for class archetypes (sorcerous origins, warlock pacts, fighter archetype, bard colleges, cleric domains, druidic circles, etc.). Some stuff I'd be...

I like the idea of sorcerers being intuitive spellcasters who draw from their own personal reserves of passion, will, and imagination. As flavorful as the wild mage is, rolling for the effects of a wild magic surge is a bit too wacky for me. Rather than completely rewrite the wild mage, which...

I could, but I'd probably forget if a weapon did 1d6 or 1d8 base damage, and that would mean I'd have to look it up, which means cracking open the book, which takes up time I'd rather spend on roleplaying. But, as always, YMMV.

This is why I use a simple format for my characters' stat info. It's pretty spare and doesn't have a lot of graphics or fiddly bits. I can use it on forums, on blog posts, and on documents. You can find an example here. I was able to stat out a D&D-style BBC!Porthos at both 1st and 4th level...

Is there a more streamlined way to do that? Perhaps by just making them martial and having the "returns on a miss" property? Or perhaps something that makes a boomerang work a bit like Xena's chakram where it ricochets back to the wielder's hand unless it gets embedded or something?

May I suggest: "Are you sure you want to say that?" Alternatively: "What's your Wisdom again?"

I've made those threads, but they've either been ignored or dismissed as (semi-)impossible.

I hope it features ways to make magic items that grow with the characters, such that at certain levels, new abilities come forth.

In addition, it makes the game less appealing to anybody who has a full-time job, a family, and a social life outside of D&D. For many (most?) people who would be DMing D&D, free time is at a premium. Fewer people these days have the time to master a complex ruleset and work on the worldbuilding...

One of the things I like to do, both as a player and a DM, is create film and TV characters as 1st-level D&D characters. It's a fun way for me to get familiar with a new game system. In addition to that, it's a great way to help people unfamiliar with roleplaying or D&D to realize a concept in...

I do have a similar character (sorcerer with noble background)! She's a minor noble who was raised with a mother (wizard) who often used magic on her as discipline, which awakened her latent magical abilities. NAME, Human sorcerer (Level 1) Race: Human (variant) Alignment: Chaotic neutral...

I've been dipping into the Avatar: The Last Airbender pool a lot, as well as the Inuyasha one. I even made 1st-level approximations of several characters from the latter series just for fun. Discworld is also appealing, as is Guardians of the Galaxy. To be truthful, how much magic there is in...

I'm inclined to make it a simple ranged weapon that does 1d4 bludgeoning damage with the thrown property and a range of 30/120. Due to the relative rarity of boomerangs and the craftsmanship that goes into them, I can see them costing about 5 gold pieces (or more). However, if there are better...

I made a human fighter based on Porthos from BBC's The Musketeers. As it turns out, with backgrounds, I was able to create this character quite easily, and the human fighter became something I was actually interested in playing. PORTHOS, new Musketeer Race: Human (variant) Alignment: Neutral...

Now that I think about it, the boomerang isn't listed as a weapon, and the stats for such a weapon would probably be ideal for a throwing-shield kind of fighting style.

Yes, that's kinda what I meant.

As a tool, I'd call it fishing tools and leave it at that. As a weapon, I'd call it improvised or use the closest approximation of standard weapons.

Here is what I have for fiendish origin. Fiendish heritage. You are considered a fiend for all spells and effects. You can read, write, and speak Abyssal or Infernal (your choice). Also, when you make a Charisma check when interacting with fiends, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies...
