These punk kids

Exactly what I do in my game, all gold coins are just steel coins

Anyone notice red mages are divination specialists now? That’s interesting. Evocation is now the universal?

Dragon magazine article during 3e years did the same thing, everyone could do it and it made you super powerful, but the COST!

Not “legally” but yeah hedge mages or renegades were a thing

Get out of here. GET. naw I’m just kidding, it’s a neat subclass for sure.

Can we all just agree that Kender were specifically created because some player wanted to play a precocious 10 year old and the DM had reservations about constantly having guys with swords take a swing at a kid?

I’m rocking a Lemi on my face right now so I would consider myself a mustachio

Or they know what they own and what they can speak to without having to be concerned with stepping on other peoples toes or being accused of using their big name status to grab up all possible ideas and put their logo on it? Or their job is to just give us stuff to use or not use at our leisure...

Yeah I mean the playtest document mentions Eberron, does that mean I have to say Krynn acknowledged Eberron because the document includes it? I’m sure we can all agree the answer is no and we can do the same thing with a mention of the feywild. It’s just helping dms to get an idea of a use of...

Old tired take: dwarven women should have beards. hot wired take: you from solamnia? Get ready for MUSTACHE CITY MY DUDES

Now that I think about it, Jean Rabe added in a kobold to their series when previously they had never been mentioned in a novel before

that’s the beauty of using a setting book since the first one came out: you’ve always had the choice to have feywild drow and orcs pop in!

Yeah I mean they already have. The 3e book and the novels coming out after war of souls and such already ensured that.

I hope so. I hate running them. I’m going through war of the lance with a group and when I started to explain what they were, my skin started to crawl.

I don’t take it as a background meaning that you passed the test of high sorcery (the reason to visit the tower), just that you trained using their methods. Actually re reading the background it even implies you haven’t taken the tests yet, just trained. In Soulforge, Raistlin is tower method...

I thought about this and then I realized with the way the tower of high sorcery is basically the only legal way to play a mage in the setting, you would end up basically saying “only these three subclasses are accepted in the setting and if you are anything else, you are a renegade”. Having them...

In 3e it was a use of the deception skill that Kender got a significant bonus to. I like it and I’ve kept it in my games as a houserule

Creating something that can be only used/only makes sense in one place is exclusivity, not creativity. This is PURELY my opinion. I find race and class options are akin to creating pigments one can use in the rich canvas that is their game. What you do with the pigment in yours is the creative...

I heard them described as the cockroaches of the setting. Intended to be a comedic race of pathetic dwarves, it’s an extremely problematic portrayal.
