It might make the game easier for the DM, but what if you are player who wants to play a human raised within a Dwarven culture? Your character isn't going to be raised as a human; they are going to be raised like a Dwarf. So, it doesn't make sense for such a human to still have the bonus feat...

This would put language into their overall heritage. Culture would still be needed to distinguish one group of Dwarves from another group of Dwarves in order to keep them from feeling monolithic to the player.

Moving the ASIs from Species to Backgrounds makes a certain amount of sense as picking up a certain background requires training in one or more ability scores. If your character has the Soldier background (I am using the Level Up version here), you learn some training in Strength, but you are...

Maybe they can make up for it in a later reprinting of these books?

Can you imagine what the 2024 PHB, DMG and MM would have looked like if they were given the same alternate cover treatment as these two books? :)

The fella in the lower left corner is a Ryujin. This is what some Nishikin can become after experiencing a moment in their lives when they have experienced a great tragedy or some other life-changing event. This particular Ryujin is a Fighter (Skeletal Blade). For those of you who have watched...

I like to think homebrewers like Laser Llama do it because they've figured out how to make a class not only look better but work better too. :) And that can be something of a challenge with regards to certain classes, like the Ranger. If I was to play another Ranger, I would pick his version of...

Good question. They would be more likely to be miffed at something Hasbro/WoTC did or would do involving them.

The 2024 PHB covers High, Wood and Drow. So, that would leave us with Eladrin, Sea, Winged and Shadar-Kai as potential elven progenitors for Half-Elves. It would be neat if the Rockseer Elves were brought back for 5e IMO. :) They would have more variation if each of the classic four had ties...

Hasbro/WoTC has a longer reach than most 3pp and homebrewers. This is what allows them to sell their products around the world.

It's bad for business if a company can't get into a foreign market like China's.

That would be hard to imagine these days. ;)

True. :) Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms does offer a lot of setting material for anyone wanting to adventure in a Far East-like setting. It has rules on how to fight Kaiju and harvest their body parts, craft pieces of equipment, Asian weapons, prosthetic limbs, advanced weapon masteries, new...

Does this mean we could throw a blueberry pie and crit someone? ;)

A Fondue breath weapon? :p pulls out a bag of marshmallows

Each Cultivation Path could be a Feat Chain of sorts, one separate from the feats a character can get through their class. PF2 sort of does it this way by having both Ancestral Feats and Class Feats (among all of the other feats that RPG offers. :p ). This way your character is advancing as a...

The Hengeyokai and the Kitsune being two such examples of shapeshifters in East Asian myths. There were also non-shapeshifting anthropomorphic animals like the Tengu/Kenku. Heroes of the Jade Oath by Rite Publishing had the Shenxue. These Spirit Born had individuals who resembled the Genasi...

The artist's name for these two pics is Ognjen Sporin. The link below contains a number of pictures and sketches from Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms. Both of the Nishikin are Ronins, a Ranger subclass. Ognjen Sporin

If it is the former, then the timing would be perfect for me. ;)

Which is definite plus if you're playing a Gloom Stalker Ranger with Umbral Sight and there are no lit torches around. :p
