As we Aussies say, "yeah, nah". Balancing crunchy benefits with fluff detriments is, generally-speaking, poor design (and I thought disappeared from D&D with 2E). This would entirely rely on the DM to ensure any "misuses" of the PCs' "true names" came home to roost. IMHO, the Onomancer as an...

Hmm, a few initial thoughts. Twilight cleric bonus proficiencies: What about someone who worships the moon or stars, or lurks in the grey between night and day, or whose presence on the earth is but a shadow, yells "I wear full plate armour and carry a greataxe"? Thematically inappropriate...

True, although our table usually resorts to this...

Only if your feet ends in hands.

Does "every gnome paladin, ever" count as a villain? (Actually, I'm personally ambivalent about gnome paladins. But elven shadow monks damn well Broke The Game.) Anyways, count me as a vote for Dracul… err, Strahd von Zarovich. Cheers, Al'Kelhar

I think you mean "Bless", rather than "Aid". (Aid itself is pretty meh generally, but I have found it useful only recently - my multiclass cleric cannot cast 3rd level spells but has 2 3rd level spell slots, and spending one of them on giving all of the party melee combatants +10hp (a +20-25%...

My long-term 5E campaign is based on the Savage Tide, generally following the story arc, but with significant details retouched and substantial additional content. I deliberately slowed the PC advancement through the mid levels (often regarded as the "sweet spot" for many editions of D&D...

My current PC, Watt, is a warforged storm sorcerer/tempest cleric with heavy plating, shield of faith and the shield spell. One might describe him (it?) as a "solid" build. Cheers, Al'Kelhar

What's the only thing that has killed more humans than humans? Oh, wait, it's transmissible diseases. Which are on the increase all over the developed world after having been given a pretty good smack down in the last half century on the back of mass immunisation programs. So, yeah, it's...

Feather fall.

A frickin' Lego D&D Movie? I'd see that. As would, I suspect, just about every 30+ y.o. who still loves the things they did as a 12 y.o. Cheers, Al'Kelhar

How should taunting work? When posed with such tricky practical and philosophical questions, I always find that the lads at Monty Python have an answer. Cheers, Al'Kelhar

To be fair, they do have advantage on their attack rolls.

To be fair, they do have advantage on their attack rolls.

Before sorcerers and warlocks there were magic-users who their players said "had the blood of dragons coursing through their veins", or "had gained their powers from deals with devils", or "were born of the fey", or "had pierced the veil of reality to unlock their secrets" etc. etc. You wanted...

Y'know, although it's a completely redundant class, you would've thought since there's a screaming need for another Int-based class - and since Warlords are supposed to be master tacticians, maybe having some of its key abilities key off Int would've been, y'know, a no-brainer? But, nooo, we...

I came here for an argument.:p

Personally, I use toothbrushes for a variety of cleaning purposes, only one of which is brushing my teeth (although I do prefer not to use the same toothbrush for my teeth as I use for other things...). OK, let me take a different approach to this issue. My PC is being chased by a pack of...
