In professional sports victory is made of fraction of seconds, and thus athlete and trainers have an eye for small details. +10%! both characters and everyone around with some skill in fighting should see that obvious difference.

Pelor as main ruler, revered by most humanoid npcs. otherwise any gods bring a player : Cleric or background or interest. No evil god, usual ones would be Demons, Devil or simply Fiend.

I call this the Matrix effect. At first Rules were created to emulate Fantasy. Then Rules create their own Fantasy. Ultimately Rules will replace reality!

Don’t bother with the phb rules when you populate your home brew world!

what are your players expectation? You if they want to play character inspired by Deadpool and have fun and joking, you won’t be able to tame them and make them walk between the lines. Otherwise in DnD for example, DM is never compelled to make a roll. He can decide the reaction of an NPC base...

My rule of thumb is that we can used freely the tone we saw in TV shows. For piracy we got a range from One piece to Shogun ( the main character can be seen as a pirate…. ). So for now I get enough space to play.

when DM can’t kill PCs the usual ways they need to innovate. We may also consider that total muscular paralyzation like in hold person can lead to suffocation and death.

To avoid usual caricature, create npc as a character. Background, actual motivations, hope or plans for the future. Those informations can help roleplay unusual situation of bargain, hostage, share loot, cooperation, etc. All pirates come from somewhere, and have hope to get a better life. Even...

Again I see the Giant fire beetle traits as a rewards for players and PCs. Bring back some, tame and reproduce them get famous and rich for that! It is a path where PCs could shine. Of course designer could make the move before and commercialized fire beetle world wide before players can do it.

I think it is done on purpose. PCs need to be exceptional and the monsters they face be a mysterious threat. If the world around them commonly use spells and have countermeasure to face cunning monster such as changeling the players will drive PCs that cast spells the usual way for usual task...

Since you always encounter monster around your level, despite having +20 bonus to hit you face monster with defense of 29. in 4ed the usual minimal roll to make a hit was around 9. In 5ed you are more likely of hitting with lower rolls as you level, giving a real feeling of improvement.

It is not a bound accuracy at all! First your bonus effectively increase. from +5 at first level to +11 and even +15 and more at level 20 with some magic help. For making hit during game play, 5ed allow way more hit as you level than other edition. the most bound accuracy edition was 4ed where...

The DM job is to setup a variety of NPCs with different motivations, abilities, strength and weakness. While a player playing a Deadpool inspired character has to find a way to place sarcasms, opposition to authority, gross, laughing at violence and death. that could be done without any pop...

To be in inline with modern time, Rulers could use registry, license, mandatory training. There will be factions working for more firearms, and factions working to banish them. DM Make sure that bad guys have bigger guns than good guys. That would make realistic firearms!

The fun of rolling stats is to allow exceptional character. If the table want to even out characters point buy already do the job.

If I roll high I would play gladly an efficient class and sub class, why waste a good and rare play? I would play the iconic gifted hero.

For players it will surely give a video game feeling. Everyone has his name tag and level over the head! It may fit well for a kind of mythic setting where the life is all about adventuring and dueling. The only obstacle for that is the slow leveling that don’t give a mythic feeling and why...

And create a club of anonymous DnD books owner.

8 DnD books over 10 years is a friendly budget. So no it’s not expansive.

OP look like that.
