    D&D General Psionic species and subspecies, will they make a comeback too?

    I agree Elan and Maenads should just be rolled in to human with a psionics feat, theres nothing notable about them. Same as Xeph and Gith. Kalashtar and Synads at least have a bit more of the alien vibe about them So Improved Dromites, Shardmind and an Abberation race for the win:)

    D&D General Psionic species and subspecies, will they make a comeback too?

    Werent Svirfneblin psionic abilities in 2e? - blur and nondetection are their standard powers iirc I do like deep gnomes being more bug-eyed and alien looking than standard gnomes, most of the depictions in the past have been to cutesy for my liking.

    D&D General Psionic species and subspecies, will they make a comeback too?

    I imagined Dromites as PC Formians in one short adventure, they work in that form. Maybe they could do a few subtypes - Formian, Abeil, ?. In 3.5 Dromites had a +1 level adjustment which sucked and thus made them less popular than the Human options of Elan and Maenad. Nonetheless Dromites had...

    D&D General Festivals, Fairs, and Holy Days

    I've started a few new campaigns in town/village during a festival or feast day, PCs get to compete in games, attend the markets and witness the Holy Rituals and inevitably get caught up in a new adventure. I anchor my festivals around the the Solstices/Equinox then Spring Flower, Mid Summer...

    D&D General Psionic species and subspecies, will they make a comeback too?

    The Blue goblin image used is 3e always looked Bugbear to me, and I'm willing to guess that other goblinoids are afflicted HOWEVER it also says that most blues are smaller (3ft) and weaker than goblins and most are killed young. So Id be willing to accept bugbear blues but they would be...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    Yeah, second* thing I thought of when reading about stress was using it as a defiling mechanic. Clearing stress but exchanging for Fear (thus letting the GM brining in elemental complications) makes sense to me * the first thing was stress = fatigue/exhaustion and how that might playout

    D&D General Psionic species and subspecies, will they make a comeback too?

    wow I hadnt associated Synads with Tiraphegs before you raised it here and the connection between them is compelling - are Tiraphegs what happens when Synads fail to achieve harmony between their tripartite minds, does the collapse of the three cause the whole creature to twist into a mad...

    D&D General A Tall Tale Setting

    tall in the sense used in tall tales is an archaic term meaning "skilled, active, capable" - So we see phrases like tall in his hands and tall of tongue. A tall tale is about a person of exaggerated skill and capability. A "tall man" was a bondsman skilled at arms and refined in speech and...

    Spoilers Doctor Who s15 (or 2) [[spoilers!]]

    That maybe a spoiler :P but if you're interested google Cartmel Masterplan which refers to story notes the writers were using during the Sylvester McCoy era, where it was hinted that the Doctor was not just a Timelord and much older than previously thought (which has been confirmed with the...

    Spoilers Doctor Who s15 (or 2) [[spoilers!]]

    Omega (not his real name) and Rassilon were bff school mates on Galifrey studying to be Solar Engineers. Omega came up with the theory of collapsing a star into a blackhole and harnessing the energy to power timetravel. His teachers ridiculed the theory giving him the grade of Omega (ie last) of...

    D&D General Eastern Dragons in 5e

    Celestials I already run gold dragons as Ti'anlong Celestials, the only change needed is to replace firebreath with Storm (wind and lightning) and give them a radiant aura. Generally if you treat Eastern dragons more like guardian spirits you can use the current dragon stat blocks, just...

    Spoilers Doctor Who s15 (or 2) [[spoilers!]]

    John and Belinda make a nice couple :) I would have liked to see more of that, exploring their doubt building until the Doctor realises whats really happening rather than them relying on exposition (and then calling it out via the Rani). The idea of family calling the authorities due to doubt...

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    yeah I answered it from memory action points was misnaming of things like Slayer dice and Prayer dice and similar Class/Ancestry abilities. I think I was dropping Recall cost in there too, but on reread thats a Domain Card mechanic I think the thing thats sticking out is how armor is used, plus...
