the problem trying to be solved here (or one of them at least) is not being tied to a specific class and/or subclass for your pet.

oh i see where you're coming from now. i can't say i really care for allowing that kind of scenario, but if i had to it would at least be a party boon than tied to a specific character.

why would the pet of a dedicated pet class be weaker than a pet subclass pet of a normally petless class? the pet class dedicates more of it's budget into making the pet itself stronger, they both have the same total budget for power. a pet subclass pet will be weaker than the dedicated pet...

if there was a pet class i still wouldn't see it as limiting useful pets solely to that class, if there was a pet class that wouldn't mean a drakewarden is any less powerful, it just offers a different distribution of power between character and pet, the pets of the dedicated class would be...

i think dwarves are popular, but in that subtle and unobtrusive way where they're just a staple of the background, so nobody really appears to give much of a fig about them until you try to take them away and people object because it would feel like they're missing.

personally i'd fill those slots out with goblins/hobs, grung (if they could drop the water dependency) and genasi, goblins are a small species and i think are too iconic to not include, grung are a bit of a wildcard pick but as an aquatic animal species i think can have their own niche here...

fighter goes B O N K

but 'wanting' or 'hoping' and the dice roll isn't the important part of the action resolution of what makes them different from each other, attacking the orc is a closed-potential outcome, there isn't any possibilities beyond 'hit' or 'miss' when you attempt to resolve the action. deciphering...

Well, high fantasy settings do tend to have the fallback excuse of ‘it’s literally magic’, like the order performs a special ritual to bond rider to dragon.

considering the topic is being considered i thought i might share this 12min video that came up in my YT feed

@TorgoTheWhite is post 20,730 just Mort's quote or am i not seeing something? if so should i assume your following post is meant to a response to said previous quote?

personally from what i can parse, with backgrounds being given more weight with origin feats i feel like PDK would probably fare better as a background with Inspiring Leader as it's origin feat, leave banneret as a more generic support fighter, though identify it as the 'traditional' PDK archetype.

see, i wouldn't call that deceptive railroading due to being so barefaced about it, deceptive railroading IMO would more be the 'quantum ogre' of plot progression, where whatever you do initially seems successful but ultimately only ends up leading you back into the planned plot without you...

fighter already has enough MAD issues to be giving them multiple extra stats to need to be distributing their boosts across a subclass

this may be a result of confusion between people using both the uses of determine? between the process of finding the equivalent meaning of the runes in a language they understand, and deciding the meaning of the runes they want AKA "hope for"

didn't they used to have like, aesthetically metallic bodies in a previous edition or something? that'd be a cool distinguishing look to bring back for them.

Post 20,000! Let’s give it up for post 20,000! Wooo!

well you like to assume you've done so, and so long as they don't just start trying to re-negotiate any of the principle terms of the campaign concept.

i can't say i felt like that response was meant to be taken in an entirely serious light, but that's just IMO. i feel there's less difference between them than you think, while i won't deny it doesn't happen GMs don't all go around banning species for the sake of it, but they have a premise and...
