For a different version: It is the Year of Our World 1000 Post Cataclysm. I am Novice Mette Greenfield recording on behest of Magus Ruificent. We left the demiplane of Twiver early in the morning as a group of six. Captain Gyremore and Thyroar the Strong came as guards. Druid Phymore...

There could be Orgone (ORG), the seventh ability, dedicated solely to spellcasting ability.

nods This is why I'm looking for advice. While playing as a giant seems exciting, it's a bit problematic in other regards. It'd certainly be fun to do a lot of the "Hulk smash!" stuff as a giant, but much less fun to come across a dungeon you literally can't fit into. Different sized...

Inspired by the small setting thread I got to thinking about the opposite. A setting where the players are all giants. The setting itself would be just as gigantic. As a size comparison, I have a table of giants from different settings below (yes, I'm aware Hill Giants and Fire Giants are...

Well, besides that, the Elves are Fading for many reasons in terms of original lore, but mostly it is a way to get from the magical past to the mundane present where we just don't encounter that sort of thing anymore. If it's not our Earth then there's no particular reason the Elves, Dwarves...

For a Furry Lord of the Rings, what would the Lore be like? In Tolkien it's a mythic history of our Earth, but here it's simply not going to be. I've been playing around with ideas for had the setting not been Earth but it's not going to resemble Middle Earth except in the broadest way.

It depends on how closely we want to keep to Tolkien. If we want to keep the strictest closeness, then Canines would be the best bet with Elves as Wolves, Humans as Dogs, Hobbits as Small Dogs, and Dwarves as Painted Dogs (which can't interbreed with Wolves/Dogs but look similar enough)...

If Gonzo is Frodo then Pepe has to be Sam and very likely Fozzie is either Merry or Pippin. If the Human Character isn't Aragon then Kermit will be and Piggy will absolutely play Arwen and if he's not she's playing Éowyn to his Faramir.

My main issue with the Blue Dragon is I simply can't figure out how it's supposed to hide in most normal-colored sand with that dramatic black back.

Well, you've already listed some ways that are more fluff than crunch. Does the player intend his character to take up more of the Druid class? In any case, some subclasses that could work with reflavoring: http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/wizard:lore-mastery-ua : instead of bookishness, the...

So, what, we're going to get into how "pure" someone's bloodline is? I know! Let's bring back nifty terms like they had for folks of mixed heritage here in the US!

An easy way to solve some of this is to make it modern but not make it Earth. Cities don't need to look exactly like ours (and probably won't) since, over time, the use of magic would make their structures different. I'd argue that high magic would be best simply because there'd be a lot of...

Well, yes, that's why I asked if anyone here was planning to do it, as I'm aware of the IP, but that's never stopped 3PP or fan-made supplements before.

I'm likely mistaken, but the last I checked Mystara had not been converted, nor had the regions in Forgotten Realms I've mentioned. There are also some older settings that I don't think have been adapted since 2nd or maybe 3rd edition, though I could be wrong. For myself, I was thinking of...

Is anyone planning on adapting any of the D&D worlds for A5e? Particularly, anything like Mystara, Eberron, or the Forgotten Realms (especially areas like Al-Qadim, Kara-Tur, and Maztica)?

Yes, the Narrator can, in fact, add that to the DC check if they want. Or literally alter any of the other stuff anyway they want. I really hope, eventually, people will understand this is not what I'm talking about. All the MM looks like is like it's doing the same old same old. The "color...

Yeah, demons in game are worshiped. The Warlock's class is based on various deals with them (and other, similar entities). But in real life men and women were killed after being accused of having made a pact with such. It might not be entirely racist, but there have been a lot of RL problems...

Yes, but, again, that's really not the point. The point is that the designers created a species that can be just as good or evil as any other, but without Narrator intervention, what PCs should know is that it's just fine to kill a Gnoll on sight since they're likely responsible for murder...

So, to try and show what I'm getting at, here's part of the entry for Gnolls as it currently exists: The area I put in bold is my emphasis. Now, the DC 10 isn't great, but it's an average roll and what most people are likely to know. I wish it were more of a neutral knowledge check. The DC...

I do too, but it's what makes the DC 10 so very sad. Consider the plight of a Good Gnoll with the entry as written. They come across a band of PCs and, if they don't have initiative, they could be dead in a round. The PCs will see a Gnoll. They will want to roll a Knowledge Check and then they...
