ZOMG SWORD CHUCKS! <.< I love 8-bit theater... "Your HP or your GP!"

I had considered that, but I'm not sure how to really distinguish it without giving it a weird name (like the long/heavy/large katar for a bigger blade, or the short/light katar for the shorter ones). I'd really like to have a specific name to base it off of, like the differentiation between...

First, I look for class and character options, to see if there's anything nifty there. Then I look at the bits of civilization and the over-all layout of the land. Then I look at the NPCs, and then check out some of the quest stuff. Then I look through the encounters. Then I will sit down and...

After taking into account the above posts (not counting Mad_Jack's which I didn't see until I had finished the list), I have completed a basic table, divided into simple and martial, with prices and weights that are roughly in-line with extant PHB options. Many more polearm options available...

I was thinking about the bokken and i think upon further consideration i should make it like a staff, doesn't seem like a d4 weapon to me. I agree that greatclub is not a good fit for it. Chigiriki is a polearm is, which there aren't any bludgeoning polearms, which, ok, whatevs i guess, just...

I'm sorry, I lol'd in real life because of this... "You're walking through the forest when all of a sudden, a GIANT badger lunges at you from behind a tree! It attacks! One hit, one miss, you take 4 damage from the bite and as suddenly as it appeared, it burrows into the ground!" "I walk...

Not familiar with those adventures (not huge on the published adventures myself, just like the conceptually), but I don't see why you couldn't if you spent some effort looking at the timelines, and overlap of regions. If you go through the books, taking note of what takes place where, you could...

Burrow 10', multi-attack, and keen smell? Yeah, giant badger is not great...

I'm building a campaign setting and in this world, the various races all have alternate cultures (elves are asiatic, predominantly chinese, dwarves are russian, gnomes/halflings are german, three flavors of human, roman, irish, egyptian, orcs are middle-eastern, and then the other monstrous...

Our group tends to houserule for two things; realism, and fun. If a system doesn't make real-world sense, we tweak it as little as necessary to make it more realistic, if a system bogs down game, we tweak it as little as necessary to speed it up. We don't like to change the rules unless there's...

So, something you said caught my attention; "seafaring folk, along with some creatures they may keep with them and use." It gave me an idea; the seafaring folk are a group of cultists turned pirate, and the creatures they "keep with them and use" are Sahuagin, and they have an idol that they...

If I were to use training, then I would have characters require training at ASI levels; you train in an ability score(s) or a technique (feat). During this time, your class trainer will teach you concepts and ideas that your character will piece together throughout their experience adventuring...

Also, added thought - You could charge while still in melee actually; it doesn't say you have to move to the nearest square or anything like that, so you could charge within someone's reach so long as you only had one enemy. Kind of appropriate on a huge creature like a dragon or purple worm...

I think the wording of Charger implies you dash first, and then make the bonus action; "When you use your action to Dash, you can use a bonus action..." To me that reads "If you Dash, Then you Bonus Attack" as opposed to making a bonus action attack and then taking the dash action. The trigger...

If you're going to do something like this, might I suggest you start with two lists, one is the dominant race list, and it's the base race's features, where you select a feature (or two) to replace, and then dilute some others, the other list would be the subordinate list which would have the...

Regarding the Orc Half-Orc diversity issue, I think it would be interesting to add something akin to the half-elf variants from the SCAG to the half-orc, like a half-orc half-dwarf or a half-orc half-tiefling, or a half-orc half-dragonborn (since they're not produced only through ritual and born...

One of the current games I'm in, my first character died. Started as a fighter, MCd into rogue, fought a bunch of animated furniture (took another level in fighter) and then tussled with some vampires (yes, at level 3), took some serious injuries and fled through a well of worlds, ended up on...

While I think 4e had far too many magic items (and a whole bunch of them terrible with others being very powerful), I think I prefer 3.0's magic item (3.5 with it's keen, brillaint energy mercurial greatswords with improved critical feat, dual-wielded through monkey grip) system in the sense...

So I just set up a gaming area for a local shop, and I'm going to start running games in different systems every sunday (shop owner loves cyberpunk, wod, deadlands, etc., hates DnD) and the first game I'm going to run is Deadlands, but I have a problem: We have rules for Deadlands Classic (and...

I'm just glad I have another distraction to keep me from doing my homework again lol
