I think you and I must have read a different game then, because last I checked each "race" still had preexisting bonuses and penalties associated with each ancestry, heritage, and background choices. Yes, they let you typically pick between two options and gave each person a floating bonus or...

I never claimed it didn't sir. Not sure what you are implying. 🤔 That said, my partner and I have actually been looking at various rule sets for firearms as of late and I must suggest to people this one: https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LaQ-9bfLBNNBm-hoMee It extrapolates on the dmg rules, it's...

Likewise, I'll just keep using the feat I created to replace the armor/weapon proficency feats myself.

Two points here though: 1) Both feats and firearms listed in the DMG are both considered "Rules Variants" and therefore the DM has final say on if they are allowed at their table. At best the should have to say, "Gunner and any firearm related feats are banned, but you may use other feats." 2)...

First, even if this is the case, I still point out what I've already said, every class who gets a fighting style ALSO gets a second class feature at the same level they do. Anyone taking this as a feat is going to be trading (in like 95% of cases) an entire level's perks for a "half-level's...

Unfortunately it is by RAW left out and unexplained. If you look at the actual text, comparing grapple and shove, they each say this: Grappling: Shoving a Creature: I went ahead and bolded the one important part in grapple to emphasize to point out that at nowhere in the text for Shoving a...

My only concern with the implantation of that as a fighting style is that it leaves those in a difficult choice between Protection fighting style and the one you suggest, when those characters who would choose Protection fighting style in the first place are those who should probably be the best...

So you want a setting where sorcerers and bards (and arguably paladins, druids, and rangers) don't exist because their magic was a direct result of the crazy stuff being introduced, dragon born and goblins are considered unequivically evil mindless slaves bound to an evil god (kind of the...

There are a few threads lingering around, in which the usual arguments are over how much damage guns should do, should they require special training, and if so how much, and often if they should ignore armor or dexterity to AC. The short of it is if one wants a "realistic" approach firearms...

This again gets back to the core problem I have with the feat in the first place: any setting involving firearms is by design going to require a conversation with the DM in the first place. It granting proficiency as part of the feat is basically just wasted ink because any DM who wants guns...

Perhaps my favorite part of how that session went down is perhaps it through out DM for a loop. This is her first campaign and I think she expected us to do just that. Instead we spent an hour trying to figure out how to acquire milk or a milk substitute in the middle of a craggy wasteland...

I think this is one of those things you balance group to group. My players are less hellbent on exploiting the system for near perma-advantage, so I feel it would be punishing them unduly if I were so zealous to all but require them to optimize their tactics or suffer disadvantage. It...

A further thought occurs after thinking about the alteration of magic idea, the psi-knight's abilities to do stuff like reduce damage could easily be reskinned to be the character doing this sort of thing. It's even int based. I do like the idea of some sort of rogue using sneak attack dice as...

To each their own. You'd be surprised how many characters in our games would take that feat in a heartbeat. Hell we spent half a session last week trying to figure out how to feed a baby giant boar.

You joke, but the idea of something a fighter or rogue using intelligence (arcane knowledge) and weaponry to "cut through" and cancel or alter magic somehow could be quite interesting. The struggle is how to translate that to mechanics. Dispelling or counter spelling or hindering concentration...

All of the typical sites and sources I typically suggest have been mentioned already, though I will always be the first to be a strong proponent of the Age of Mortals book + campaign setting 3.5 book combo (alongside the wikis listed for reference). Also seek put digital copies of the Tasselhoff...

The trick though is to also avoid anything that is too bound to physicality to pull off with just your mind. I.e. a high intelligence could help one predict possible trajectories for aiming a bow (and thankfully 5e is rules lite enough that it doesn't require "realism" regarding needing minimum...

Some adventurers like to wield their weapon with using raw strength, some using a more nimble dextrous approach, the hexblade warlock likes to get it done through raw force of will. 😏 ...more relevant to the thread, I seriously never realized that the hexblade could have more than one weapon...

My biggest issue with it is that in any campaign where the DM is comfortable with guns (specifically those in the DM guide), I'd imagine them to be prevalent enough that the DM will likely just grant proficiency in them to anyone who would be likely to actually use them and loading is such a...

I've already made my opinion known on Shield Training in another thread where I think it is outright obsurd that it is the only way to make taking off or putting on one's shield an object interaction and despite this be so heavily only useful to spellcasters as a feat. We should not be in a...
