A problem here is that by trying to apply an objectivist perspective to social sciences, we fail to incorporate our own biases because we think we're outside observers of the system rather than a variable dependent on the same system that we are trying to observe. The technicality of...

The evidence: I asked the question about the rules because I LIKE disease rules, both as a player and as a DM. Just like how I like it when I have to deal with the issue in a game like The Elder Scrolls. It's an interesting plot wrinkle that the characters now have to deal with. In addition, I...

King David of the Bible. Pharaohs and their champions like Ramses I in his earlier career. Ishtar in Red River (magic warrior queen literally believed to be the queen goddess made flesh). Sacred Samurai. Exorcists. Sun Wukong / Son Goku, entasked by the Buddha to use his magical powers to...

I'd reboot Greyhawk by finding a place to put Nentir Vale and Nerath in it. ;D

I always preorder the Alt covers from my FLGS.

Wizards can swap out cantrips for other cantrips on their list every long rest. Though not from their spellbook, from their spell list.

MtG no longer limits to just 2 creature types (Race/Class) maximum - ever since the 2022 typal update when phyrexian can be added in front of 2 other creature types, it's really just creature type, but can mean their job or their heritage. So I guess in that case, Creature Type would count? Of...

They can't afford to have the flexibility of spells prepared the same way the Wizard does, though. They just don't have the quantity of spells to prepare for as many situations as the Wizard can. With all the classes providing short rest benefits now, expect the 5MWD problem to largely...

To answer the OP's question seriously, I think it would be interesting to consider thari- err, the EEE, as actual intelligence behind the Dragon of Tyr, and to make all of Dark Sun his dead and dying world.

Deva was just made for 4e because someone decided they had had enough of the Arse jokes about Aasimar and wanted them playable without people snickering. It's the same player species.

25, but that's just preparing from the spellbook. Wizards can also cast any of the spells in their spellbook as rituals regardless of preparation. And they can swap out a prepared spell each short rest. Wizards gain 2 spells for their spellbook every level, and can also scribe additional spells...

And they got stats in 4e in Dragon magazine. My point was in 5e, not other editions or game systems or 3rd party variant systems.

Gnolls never got PC stats because they really leaned into "Gnolls aren't humanoids, they're fiends" thing. Guess they wanted a common D&D monster species that isn't undergoing the transformation into PC Species like Goblins, Orcs, Kobolds, etc.

I do think they should lean more into the cantrips and metamagic side of things, and switch to spell points, when they get to the next major revision. But I think the Sorcerer currently has an interesting mechanical space as flexible in the moment while the Warlock is flexible at Character...

There's a bunch of disease examples and options in the DMG. But I vaguely recall this too. Makes me sad; I like it as a potential threat!

Bards can get them, but only ~2 per level starting at 10, and they still only prepare like half as many of them as Wizards do, and they can't swap them out during a LR like Wizards can do with the spells they've added to their spellbook. Bards have the most versatility in access to spells, but...

I thought you didn't use the Elder Elemental Eye's name, Snarf!

Cactusfolk from Thunder Junction, if only because they're abso-effing-lutely amazing. And we need more plant people. Wilden/Killoren were dope. I really want a crossover book with Outlaws of Thunder Junction. It's a crossroads of planes due to the Omenpaths connecting them with places like...

It's the Mutant / Enhanced superhero class (but not Warrior-type; that's the Barbarian, Monk, or Artificer depending on their superpower source). This is X-MEN like Cyclops, Jean Grey, Magneto, Storm, or Jubilee. You can do a very small number of things REALLY well and you can change the way you...

Yeah, that's what I got from the Playtest, but the article was nebulous on that. Was wondering if anyone can confirm that they just didn't mention a bunch of abilities despite saying that if they didn't mention it it was unchanged…
