I don't think you'd have to be younger than 13 before you start taking a class (and that seems to ignore the various lifespans of races.), especially since 5e uses backgrounds such as Gladiator or Pirate. If those are your backgrounds before taking a class, you probably weren't preteen. Page126...

Sorry, I made the poll on my phone with 6 poll choices. I’m not sure why only 2 showed up, don’t see how to fix it (help?). ☹️ The other options were: 3. Meh 4. I’d like to try it. 5. It’s fun. 6. I like it so much I never use classes/levels.

I really enjoy zero-level adventuring because of the vulnerability of the PCs. It’s different than a low-magic campaign because there is magic, sometimes high-level magic, but it’s not something players have access to. They hardly have any resources and are constantly out-gunned. This forces...

It’s a little late in this thread, but just to clean things up a bit I’m going to make a new thread about zero-level adventuring. If there’s anything left to say about substituting a background for a feat, continue posting here.

As an opera diva, having retainers who dress her and run other errands for her arrn’t something she can just role-play. They are not role-play ideas. They are tangible role-play ribbons.

Here is how it’s shaking out for this particular character: Granducha Vigorella Operetta (GeeVO to her opera fans) Race: variant human (UA Empathic skill feat: +1 Wisdom, double Insight proficiency, use action to make Insight check contested by target's Deception - success gives her advantage...

The one I ran one before where had to find someone to train them. It was a classy academy, really just a milestone to level up.

It’s meant for just 1st level (or zero level in this specific case).

The point - for us at least - is that playing level zero is fun. We run into a single orc and run away because he has a bow and we are unarmed since we are only using what backgrounds give us. We have to role-play and talk our way through almost every situation, and we don't have much skill at...

We’re about to start Dragon Heist. And maybe start as zero-level characters (picking up classes later) - she’ll be a glamour bard eventually. And, thanks to you all, we will blend a little Entertainer into Noble for Granducha Vigorella Operata (her stage name). Her servants: a pair of forest...

I think the features (and extra gold) were of more interest than the skills so I’m not sure Progidy is the answer.

Player wants to be a human opera singer (1st level). If she is an entertainer but asks to also be a noble (variant so she has a little extra money plus servants), would you allow noble to replace her human variant feat? Is it balanced? Obviously the request is for role-play more than combat.

If I were to play a Loxodon., and I’d like to, I sure would want to attack as an elephant would using my tusks to pierce, my legs to trample, and my trunk to grapple. Unfortunately, this design gives me absolutely none of that.

With all of the fiends in Mordenkainen's, I'd really like to have a guide to their home planes. Are there any published 3rd party products that have maps or descriptions of what these are like? or maybe something from a previous edition? I'd like my players to have the option to go through a...

Meh

Have the PCs struggle without a map. Have the guide say he has memorized a map. Have the characters have obtained a new map. Have the players be catured and taken to another major place on the map. Have the PCs track another adventuring party that does have a map. Have the PCs learn about magic...

I ran it on a session a couple of nights ago after seeing this thread. I had a merchant bring a baby on in dead to sell, but no wanted the smelly meat. The mother came after it. My party had split up so there were just 3 of them at 6th level. The foolhardy cleric ran up to challenge it and...

PHB: "Druids revere nature above all, gaining ...powers either from the force of nature itself or from a nature deity. Many druids pursue a mystic spirituality of transcendent union with nature rather than devotion to a divine entity, while others serve gods of wild nature, animals, or elemental...

I wish the enlarge feature came earlier than 14th level; most characters I see never reach that high, and "bigger" seems important to giant-kin.
