Can the fighter or rogue lose their powers? No. Wizard? No. Anything divine? Also, no. Tying a PCs powers to something that they can loose is a dick move. That's why I always go with, powers once bestowed are permanent. Now, I get the appeal, from a story telling perspective, but where is the...

Purchasable potions and scrolls are basically a given if there is a wizard or cleric living in the area. Beyond that, you are making offers for family heirlooms, seeking out master craftsmen, trading favors with nobles or rich merchants. It generally turns into a quest reward rather than...

Off the cuff answer? Because I can visualize the skeleton moving easier than I can visualize making good strikes with a floating sword. The fact that the skeleton is requiring more complex movements is irrelevant because I believe it will be easier.

Would it be awesome? Yeah. Is it necessary? He'll to the no. The domains already do a pretty good job of representing different faiths. Further, would you even call the druid a priest anymore? Sure, it's losely based on one, but once we get to shape changing the focus seems to move to a more...

In previous editions, clerics could worship an ideal. Picture a world with no god of fire. Now imagine some crazy nut (like Trashcan Man from The Stand,) who is entirely obsessed with fire. Total pyromaniac. He burns everything that he can. Its not just a compulsion, but a legitimate spiritual...

Good God, son! War is easy to throw into a game, but takes a lot of work to do well. Personally, I like to keep PCs out of the chain of command. As others have shared, players sometimes balk at taking orders. This is an escape for many of them, after all. Keeping that in mind, I usually use the...

Wait a second, are you saying that this actually happened? That someone at your actual table was playing a low-Int character in a way that was intentionally mocking another player? That's pretty despicable. Not what I got from your post, but that's irrelevant.

Isn't it? Portraying a below average Int score seems to be the primary driver of the conversation.

How would you compare this to identifying an 8 str score as weak, 8 dex as clumsy, 8 con as sickly, 8 wis as oblivious, or 8 cha as weak willed? Where is it permitted to play a particular character with flaws? I understand the desire not to marginalize anyone, but portraying a RPG character as...

I think that most people would say that undead is dead. Dead = not alive. Undead is just dead but animated by ________. A zombie's time of death was when it stopped being a person. Same for every other form of undead. No reason to think undeath resets the clock, so to speak, for spells...

As a modification to 5e, not a fan, although I did play in a game online with a similar rule (exclusively for spells) and it was an interesting change. As a core mechanic of a new system, maybe 6e, hell yes.

I'm playing in one of these now in a post apocalyptic western. Also playing in a modified Starfinder game with tons of homebrew, Rime of the Frostmaiden with no race/class restrictions, getting ready for a homebrew campaign with no restrictions that should be kicking off soon and I sometimes pop...

I am really surprised by the number of posts with various restrictions considering the overwhelming response to the survey. Personally, the only time I limit choices is when they can't be rationalized in in a reasonable way. Restrictions due to setting, sure. Can't have hobgoblins mucking up...

Shouldn't this be "Players, what arbitrary restrictions are you willing to put up with?"

I can remember a fair number of adventures with encounters in rivers, lakes, swamps, on coasts, etc, but mostly I like the Tritons for the same reason I like Gith. Neither is overwhelming mechanicly, and both alow an alien mindset that can be leaned on for interesting roleplay.

Top 3? Nah. Just the top 1. Funeral customs. Each major religion, ethnic group and social class has different ways to treat their dead, and there is a number of taboos and traditions that overlap and/or contradict one another. Each racial/cultural origin story has an elemental tie in, such as...

Do we? It's not like tritons can't exist indefinitely out of the water. In a seafaring campaign tritons might even be a little OP.

Y'all some Triton hating s.o.b.s Gith, Triton, Half-orc
