I have natural weapons as a special weapons skill that those who can shape shift can learn. It also applies to beasts, for, older more experienced beasts are deadlier foes compared to cubs and yearlings. If your players came across a band of carnivorous apes which would they target first, the...

Though not sporting one could bait an animal into a trap. An illusionary fragrance of something sweet, the sound of an animal in distress, the scent of an animal in heat all could be used.

Romantic in an operatic sense. I prefer a story that leads you wherever it may.

An option one might consider is to use setting. The capital city of our March is governed by a Count Bishop who has decreed that only gambesons (padded) and buff coats (leather) armor may be worn within city limits, and that only small blades (length between elbow and wrist or less) can be...

You might try Talislanta. Here is a list created for 13th age that might be useful. http://13thage.org/index.php/racess/392-talislanta-races There are three parts.

I use the 1e description you can find a picture here. https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Lamia If the images are stuck in your mind like a bad song on repeat, I suggest having a lovely Whitley Wobbler, we needed one when the ranger player (zoology student) decided to explain how the evil...

I asked myself, Who is this Bob Ross chap? After reading his wikipedia page, I suggest a charisma fighter with folk hero background.

My ten players regardless of which of their characters they happen to be playing have all missed the two major plots in the campaign area. The first is to find a heir of the missing Marquis or elevate someone to the title. At the start there were nine nobles. A non-hereditary Bishop/Count, A...

I envision the cartoon cavalier talking down to the party. :p

In my game the half elf paladin has previously been captured and ransomed back three times. This due to bad luck with the dice and another player in character running away from the combat. If the halfling wizard had stayed would things have been different? No one knows. Now the paladin has a...

A spin on tabaxi; the catfolk have a caste system based on purity of breed and bloodlines. Purebreds are the aristocracy and are rare when compared to strays and alley breeds. All catfolk regardless of breeding can charm humans with a gentle purr. Humans are used by the purebreds as servants and...

In my game world a faction serving a death deity are also the assassins guild. While most people who enter and pray or use a confessional ask for their or for a loved one's passing to be quick, there are sometimes angry people who pray for someone to die. These people are told that if the person...

I have in game time limits where the party is expected to do something within a time frame. The paladin and her men at arms are supposed to take a hilltop by noon and it is now 6 am. Her decisions on when to leave, which route to take, etc affect whether or not she and her unit accomplish the...

I use experience points for participating. Participating can be earned from taking a plot hook to just sitting in the tavern interacting with whoever comes in and everything in between. I also reward bonus experience points for what could be considered mile stones for accomplishing or failing at...

Why is there no love for Baronets? Dragons think they go well with crumpets. One could use other languages for the various races. Welsh works nicely for the elves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_peers_and_baronets

We had a dark elf wizard challenge Moradin to one on one personal combat, he almost won. Yet the dwarfs do now fear the day known as Draenen ddu, for, on this dark day the fires of Moradin's forge were almost extinguished causing a deathly chilling fever to take many dwarfs. This day is now...

I modified the rules found in earlier editions of Shadowrun Street Grimoire. It gave me a set of rules for each type of spell. Means some spells such as wish can never be created or used by a character. Creates a vast difference in similar spells, you can have 100+ different fireball spells for...

If you can find a copy of Best of the Dragon 1, there are several nice items the necromancer would enjoy. Or Dragon 76 for the Death Master.

You could have him be "burned out", where he can still perform miracles such as turn undead, but can no longer cast spells/prayers. This would make him similar to the drunken Red Priest from GoT.
