Talking Animals (TA) are as much a part of fantasy as Dwarves, Elves, and others. Arguably they are more a part of it, since there are stories of talking animals dating about as far back as records go. Now, it could be argue that species such as the Haregone, Kenku, and similar fit the role...

One thing I keep thinking is how nice Mutants and Masterminds is in terms of character customization. It's easy to make an archetype fit nearly any idea a player may have. By way of contrast, it's very hard to customize in D&D. Certainly there are subclasses and other features, but I'm not sure...

The thing to keep in mind is besides the maze we have dragon-riding cultists to deal with, so even if the maze allowed that spell we'd likely be immediately attacked with dragons. Also, the person we're trying to rescue is trapped in the tower with the cultists. I very much doubt he'll be able...

I chose Circle of the Shepard because I generally prefer support characters, especially if there's really no designated healer. Plus the ability to talk with animals (more or less) seemed like a good idea at the time. I think it's more that the campaign has the maze be a certain way. I already...

It's only one portion. We need to get through the maze to get to a tower to rescue someone helping us against cultists (they have an artifact which would significantly impede the cultists plans, but we need to get it and the person to safety first). To be honest, I'm freaking out a bit because...

It's 2014 and the maze is basically a death trap. There's some way to figure it out but we've already discovered that 1) the monsters (so far two gorgans, a dao, and four chuul) must be defeated in order to get gems that let us go back to the sundial that seems to control the maze. 2) trying...

To be honest, one of the main reasons I wanted to play the Druid was because I love the idea of shapeshifting. It's just that the way it's written (or the campaign we're in) seems to make it where my doing it is basically the worst option to choose in most of the situations. I can only think of...

I really appreciate everyone responding, even if it makes me feel like I shouldn't have taken the class to start with since I clearly don't understand how to utilize it. Of course, it doesn't help that we're currently in a magical maze that does not like anyone trying to climb/fly over it and...

Playing as a Druid has me feeling like the Wildshape feature, as written, is basically inefficient at best and basically useless at worse. How can I feel that way when it allows my character to become an animal? Well, let's examine it "As a Bonus Action, you shape-shift into a Beast form that...

He was never satisfied with Orcs. He didn't want them to be irredeemable but he never wrote any objectively heroic ones either. They also most likely look like ugly Mongolians to Europeans "squat, broad, flat-nosed, sallow-skinned, with wide mouths and slant eyes: in fact degraded and repulsive...

I think that just about everyone is hoping for a psionics book and Dark Sun campaign to go with. :p nods I think it'd be interesting if Goblins came with a sort of "mutation"option for some odd ability or appearance they have.

I think they're pretty neat, but I can understand why people would prefer ones from other settings.

One of the great and oft missed parts of D&D lore is Psionics, though there have been a number of attempts to bring it forward to the current edition. Along with the Psionics came various species, particularly (for this thread) the Blue Goblins. At least one person has tried to update them for...

There was nothing Rimelda enjoyed more than riding on her dracwyrm Boreas, who equally enjoyed taking her everywhere, especially since she'd grown horns similar to his. "You don't talk much about the changes," said Boreas as they flew south. "There's not much to say. It's not as if my...

Uno was a pretty typical cyclops, except for having been raised by Humans. They were the ones to give zim the name 'Uno' as if it were the most clever naming of all time. Uno learned pretty early on not to reveal zis true intelligence: it made the Humans very nervous, and after a few beatings...

"Another report, your highness." "Thank you Ursula." Ursula was a reminder of the variation the Goblins could have besides their skin, eyes, and hair. Horns, tails, even winged ankles were possible, but only sometimes bred true rather than being random. It was a gift of the goddess Alabra and...

Cecily was no ordinary Dayspring Fay. She was the daughter of Queen Tanaquill herself. As such, she had the most experience with outsiders of any fay whether Dayspring, Twilight, or Yeartide. This year had been a particularly exhausting one. The Dworolls from the Crystal Mountains had decided to...
