Agree to disagree. A good drill sergeant can accomplish some amazing things. Make those 🍜-armed weenies do amazing things they never knew they could do. Old-world warlords (small-units) could make a mid-sized band accomplish great and horrible things... no need for magic... Give up a bit of your...

I too would kill thousands of psions for this. Or at least give thousands of wedgies to them

Drilled nonverbal cues trained into your travel companions Pavlov's dog style. Your advanced ability of singing "make a man out of you" - Mulan style to your party. The ability to train up anyone to follow your cues when you create an opening for them... the magic of battle

Nice pull. I like this. Fighter shell means it is still competent in isolation as well

I like how the results of hybridization can be so unpredictable. Usually diversity coming together creates some sort of advantage but it rarely results as predicted... That's why I love spontaneity and chaos in their background. 2 giant things couple?.... and the results is.... pint-sized? But...

These ➕️ the usual Arterial strikes: successful attack will add the wounding weapon, bleeding condition Attrition strike: successful attack confers -2 AC to opponent for rest of combat (stackable?)

Then I would actively 👎 the lore they DO have, if they are separate lines along elemental divisions. That makes them even less cohesive as a defined species

Awesome! I hadn't read this yet and had posted about the Warlord... yes warlord lite that can only do it again few times a day :( ... also, as cool as commanders strike is, you do still give up an attack

I dislike the fact that they cannot fulfill my ideal of the fighter that can just "go all day"... fortunately the new Champion can. Plus, I agree that Lv 15 is past the mark a lot of players will even reach to really start stirring the pot. They should probably make Lv 10 a more universal...

I li I like this. Might be fun to take a page from 'Cuckoo's Nest' and have a chief-like dude who thinks he's "small" compared to some of the big-personality characters. Now if I can find an HVAC unit to throw through the windows in DnD...

I don't know about how common racial special traits vs PC specials should be in the world, something tells me the answer is somewhere in the middle. In my game magic is rare, so that probably skews that answer. I think there are some alright ways to unify goliaths as one despite the whole...

So, one is a failed supersoldier. The other stems from prehistoric humans that consumed the blood/magic GMO of ancient and powerful Giant overlords. From those ancient foundations, to newer developments, to the micro/character level focus it has been easy to figure character tropes

My 🌩 Goliath is a product of a dark cult nation attempting to breed a "new man" but they have had many, many failures until the project is scrapped.

Hill giants, in my campaign, used their connection to the Earth to cultivate the land and to paraphrase; pissed off Gods. Basically, they were cursed to become the fat inbred DnD walking fart-joke we know and love. But they left behind "pets" in one last garden who eventually consumed plums and...

All solid foundation there.

Played a 🔥 Goliath barbarian. GWM, charger. Use his extra D10, brutal strike, and charge to great effect. Outside of combat, I have no shortage of slave race/ demonic cult masters/Acheron wizard empire let their "trained apes" learn too much arcane craft to the point of overthrowing the...

Haha, my players figured out at level 4 why the clansmen of the Steppes wanted so much gold for their battlebooze, to "make one drink and fight forever". The wizard finally bothered an Arcana check to figure out that they were actually healing potions (with a strong alcoholic component) My way...

I see, you are saying every turn because of concentration. Pretty comparable to a basic champ like the one I mentioned (of course his attributes play into this more) decreased to level 5, so take away the def fighting style. He is still running with 20.4 DPR (after 60% miss). Still has polearm...

But, when speaking of consistency, how is the same level druid upcasting moonbeam "every turn"? (also moonbeam has no flat attribute modifier). If you are eating up spell slot repeatedly on shield for your "tanky caster" then you are making sortof a nova tank. Where eventually you will be babies...

Well, at least now I know the "magnetic" attribute would be a reasonable attribute to tack onto a magic 🛡 . Then you can change the action economy of shields with a flavorful and not overpowered magic attribute in regard to the speed of donning and doffing
