In fairness: You get diminishing returns on the GAME as the game goes to higher levels, regardless of the story you're trying to tell... I try to cap mine out in the 12 to 13 range because after that character abilities tend to go quadratic and I didn't take trig. (The joke being they go to 4...

This is ... kinda true. It certainly doesn't work for "Slasher Horror" after 5th level, but that's a fundamental misunderstanding of what a slasher -is-, in the end. Sort of the same with Creature Feature horror after level 2-3. Fighting "One Vampire" is either devastatingly implausible when...

Non-Magical Hero options is a big thing, yeah. Also social and exploration pillars are woefully underformed. My big one is recognizing it's a game system for telling stories and just going with it, rather than ignoring that reality to try and elevate things. Short and Long rests, for example...

I can't speak to April... But no. He's going to continue to be a rampaging tube of pink slime about everyone who has upset him, fling out slander and libel eagerly, continue to try and get people arrested or fired or ruin their lives, harass people, etc, until the day he dies. Because Lanasa...

I do not celebrate the passing of Ernie Gary Gygax Jr. It is the inevitable outcome of all things that they end. I will also not mourn the man, because I did not know him so well as to be pained by his passing. But to his friends and his family, who did know him, who do mourn him, who feel one...

May his memory be for a blessing.

It -REALLY- does, yes.

Could also make it the "House Lyrandar Culture" at level 1, then allow feats to improve it as you go.

Oh, I just figure it'd be a lot like Heritage Gifts that provide spellcasting abilities. You gain the first benefit from it at level 1, then it improves (granting access to a new spell) at 5th. Then just do the same for the Paragon Gift.

Just Watch.

As far as Dragonmarks, I see two easy ways to handle them: 1) Replace the Heritage Gift for any appropriate Heritages. Making a Half Elf of Lyrandar? Grab either the Elf or Human Heritage, and take the "Mark of the Storm" Heritage Gift. The gift itself is the Least mark. But you gain an upgrade...

And fresh off the press, the Macabre Man art!

I'll just drop these off, here...
