It's not called Eleven towns. It's Ten Towns because that's all that are there.

It's called the Forgotten Realms, where every race has sizeable populations somewhere. Even Dragonborn. For Dragonborn it's just not on the Sword Coast.

Bree also had a lot of hobbits. Nah. There are a lot in Bree and I'm pretty sure they see some there. I don't recall any populations further out than that, but there are at least the Shire and Bree that they could be from and were known. But dwarves are known. They travel and have business...

Further, with Greyhawk there are several countries with enough halfling and gnome population to list their populations in multiple thousands. That's as deep a connection as pretty much any other race that isn't human.

He can already have both.

You can have all of that without having a full settlement of your race present thousands of miles from your homeland. Just write it into your background.

(y) Yeah. We didn't like 3e's system of confirmation as it stood, either. So if you rolled a 20 and didn't confirm, you did max damage for the normal hit. That way it was still boosted by the 20. Also, if you did confirm it was base weapon damage + max, instead of rolling base weapon damage...

Which one? This was something the group came up with, but I know that I had Best of the Dragon I & II at one point, so if it was there, it's possible I was subconsciously bringing it up.

I have also shown how there are already setting links for Dragonborn in the Forgotten Realms. And I've further shown how to write links to the setting into a background for Dragonborn who are far from their homeland. But I have to ask.... Why should PHB options be guaranteed links, or even...

What we did was from level 1 to 5 you got a DC 15 dex check to turn the fumble into a miss. From 6-10 it was a DC 10 dex check. From 11-15 it was a DC 5 dex check. From 16-19 it took two consecutive 1's. And at level 20 you could not fumble at all.

Right. The problem is that this creates the contradiction that more skilled = less skilled as you will fumble much more often due to your much increased skill level. That's why my group came up with a house rule that made fumbles progressively less likely as you leveled until at the highest...

I'm not counting third party content. There's a ton of content for just about every setting if you count third party content, but third party content is nothing more than you or I making stuff up that isn't really Greyhawk and then putting it out there for folks who like it to use. If I open...

Greyhawk doesn't have a mountain of material if taken in total, let alone for any given race. There's no mountain of material for elves, humans, dwarves, gnomes, dragons, dragonborn, or weasel men from alcatraz.

Yeah. There's no deep connection for anything in Greyhawk. There's too little detail and lore for any deep connections.

You can drop an entire community of dragonborn into any spot in Greyhawk you want. I can drop them into the Greyhawk City if I want to. There zero need to find an empty space for them, because the level of detail on the Greyhawk setting is so minimal that almost anything can have communities...

I don't know where you get this from. They have a physical body formed from the essence of gods. They bleed. They can procreate. They are flesh and blood. I don't see a good reason to think that the offspring of angels have no genetics to pass on.

That at least makes some sense as it's about the life of the person. Not covering the phone in my pocket if it's destroyed by a nuclear blast? Not so much.
