I would add that it steps on Bardic toes.

I voted all. But I don’t do hate, hate is the path to the dark side. A large part of my opinion is because of their names. They are an affront, so pompous sounding that they should always lose initiative and have disadvantage on all saves. Thematically they fill no void, no niche that can...

I don’t want accurate, I also don’t want the PC’s to embarrass me or themselves in front of imaginary peerage.

I am a lizard-man. I hatched in the swamps. I hunted for food when I was a few hours old. I am always hungry. I know you call my mindless aggression rage. A small part of me is still calculating when I am like this but it is mostly quiet...waiting to be fed. It makes me tired. It is not anger...

Does that affect nouns or verbs?

Yes, no and maybe. 1)Yes I want a new setting I can steal from. In a format that is easy to grok. 2) No but, I would like to see some different magic. 3) Maybe, I am not particularly satisfied with the presentation of existing monsters Especially non-ip iconic ones. ( werewolves ) The new...

Mounted combat and aerial combat rules that are good.

So true.

WotC should run a contest to design a game. Our community has some tremendous skill and talent. I have begun to think that THEY are riding OUR coattails.

Because dex is better than strength in the mechanics of the game. That is why it is a problem. Give monks a bonus to hit, damage, AC and initiative that is based on strength then it would be even. So either accept that Strength monks will be inferior or make a strength monk class. Or nerf...

The evil King Arthur with the help of his court wizard Merlin use a magical round table to enslave Knights of the realm and bind them to service eternal as Death Knights. Chief among them is Lancelot. The vile Robin Hood and his band of merry men. Harvest the souls of the peasantry in an...

Perhaps someone else, knowing his tastes, (eg. sister or other adventurers) drugged his favorite sip.

I would say 5e. I like the settings better. I like the art better. I like the fact that I already own the system. Money and then learning pf2e while trying to unlearn every other version of some obscure rule that has left cobwebs in my mind is not worth it. I can foresee no circumstance that...

Barbarians don’t use whips! Do they?!?

I have often wanted to play a barbarian ever since 3e came out. I am finally playing a barbarian now. It is a lizard man. I felt the mechanics fit and the flavor fit. The mechanics of the class and it’s flavor were usually what stopped me from playing it. I never felt that it modeled what I...

You missed a chance to name your shark Chum.

1)How about Druids? Armys of animals 2)Something like The Puppet Masters ( or body snatchers) 3)A Puppet Master with teams of small homicidal golems with special gimmicks? 4)Aliens or Terminators a threat from outside space or time like githyanki. Foes that seem omnicient but only because...

Thank you for this! There is one design conceit I would like to not see anymore in these. The dutch angle. Okay so there are more but that one really grates on my nerves.

The problem I see is. “Why would I use my resources to prepare 4 or 5 cantrips when I only use 1 or 2?” I would just have more space to prepare higher level spells. Yeah, they become more versatile just not in the cantrip area.

D&D 5e is a semi-generic and self referential game. Creation of new classes would only serve a small percentage of campaigns. These classes would do the same thing that existing classes do with the changes being additional caveats and flavor. This is why so many have proposed building within...
