I'd like to suggest this: take out Wizards and Clerics Keep Bards and Druids. Druids become the shamanesque "plant guys" that learned their magic from the Elves and want to keep the Old Ways (New Ways?) by balancing tech with nature. Replace the Bard's spell list with the Wizard spell list...

How's your Wisdom? Slap on 2 levels of Moon Druid and you'll have a great HP buffer to take some abuse, plus some access to some great battlefield control spells (Entangle, Faerie Fire, Thunderwave), or utility spells (Longstrider, Jump), or healing (Cure Wounds, Goodberry, Healing Word).

I don't always take Magic Initiate But when I do I always take Find Familiar. Find Familiar gives you many similar benefits as the Chain Pact's familiar does. You have a mutable, easily-replaceable pal on the battlefield that can Help you gain advantage on your foes, act as scout/spy (by...

Change him into a spined devil? Gnomes are irredeemably evil, after all. :devil:

Are any of them E-Classes? If so, Dailies are less important to them. How did they get so low on surges... is this their first fight of the day? Are they using tactics or just run-and-gunning it? Sounds like this is an excellent time to introduce "Choices and the Accountability of Making...

No fans of d20 Modern? That plus the Future rulebook would do wonders as the mechanics are kind of the same. There'd need to be some jury-rigging, but not by a far stretch. We even have d20 Modern to thank for Backgrounds - they were listed as Occupations back then. Or, be even more creative...

Keep in mind that the Gods that have already been established are relevant to the Lore of the world(s) in which they exist. Some things Gods tend to have in common: * they look like the people who worship them * they're called upon when people don't know how to or can't do something themselves...

Both the Bladesinger and Valorbard add martial/fighter-y components to their magical repertoire, hence the Extra Attack. EK adds magic-y components to their warrior repertoire, hence the War Magic. I don't see a huge deal in the swap, myself, but if you have an EK in your party, he may feel...

One short adventure I was in borrowed/stole from The Titanic (and the Futurama parody episode of same). Characters are all part of a group of rich nobles who are having an elegant party on a new airship to celebrate its inaugural journey. While out over the ocean, the ship is attacked by...

This does give you two unforeseen RP advantages. 1) as mentioned earlier, having non-standard spellbooks as a reward/challenge for the wizard to actually USE his spells upon. You can give snippets of a lost culture via the lore/artifacts he discovers. 2) You could surprise him with some 'pet'...

Stargate-inspired Eberron game wherein the heroes discover a gate to Dark Sun, remain trapped on the DS side for a while, then find a way home and keep it under wraps from House Orien, who (surprise) have one of their own... Mecha Cops - the PC force is kitted out with experimental Robotech...

We Canadians are more open to gaming with strangers in a co-operative manner. ^_^

Is the Tech Level still D&D Standard, or was the 30's/40's comparison apt?

You might want to build off Goliath for his increased carrying capacity and being a Really Big Guy™.

LES FLUMPHS: A foreign-language illusory picture program focusing on a fictional colony of blue aberrations who live in mushroom-shaped houses in the Silly and Unusual Forest.

I'm not 100% sure this is relevant, but Geek and Sundry has some great articles about D&D's roots and how its writers pulled away from the 80's, uh, concerns with the subject matter.

Bone, Flint, Wood tip, heck, even Quartz can be used as an arrow tip. And that's even before you get into natural Poisons... :)

Gnomes and Goblins swapped roles in my game. Many Gnomes are also feral and used as cattle for Gnolls. ^_^

Hengeyokai (not in 5e presently) and Werebeasts have natural animal transformations, among others, probably. In addition, they get to stay in their animal forms for longer. Based on that, you could allow a Druid to pick one or a handful of shapes and stay in them for longer while keeping the...
