Pick up Shadowrun or Numenera if you want to see sex covered. Okay, yeah, it'll be artistic... and it'll be sitting on the bargain bin shelves before it's tossed in the dumpster. People don't buy RPGs for artistic purposes; they buy them to have fun. If you become focused on art, you lose focus...

I've also seen those video games. They're typically either Refused Rating or Adults Only, which pretty much completely destroys their ability to be sold within the United States. GTA 5 is about the only notable exception where the player actually does a lot of torture, and even then it's more...

If you're raising skeletons willy-nilly without care that you might lose control and you're not evil, you're in a situation so desperate where losing that control won't make things worse. This is known as the Godzilla Threshold.

My group had an interesting campaign where slaadi would regularly show up and randomly help the players or ask the players to do something, which was invariably a lot easier than expected and heavily rewarded. When it came to helping, they would sometimes join in defeating a tough foe, handing...

You could just play a cleric. Beneficial necromancy spells such as Spare the Dying and Resurrection are cleric spells.

Because society does not have a single set of standards. Compare television and movies to books. Then compare them to video games. Note that each of those has their own rating system and their own standards about what is and what is not commonly acceptable. So just because it is acceptable in...

When I was being taught to play DnD by 2E and 1E vets, they had this piece of wisdom on slaad: If you understood what the slaad was doing or what motivated it, the DM was playing it wrong. Basically, they're chaos incarnate. They have a reason for what they do, they have a motive... but trying...

It's only cartoon physics if you ignore every species except humanity. It doesn't help that, for lifting capacity, humans are one of the weakest primates to walk the Earth. Or that nature itself has created organisms that science thinks can lift fifty times their body weight. So the idea of a...

As long as you are having fun and they are having fun. That's what ultimately matters.

And if you were hairy enough, people would mistake you for the team pet or the wizard's familiar.

Personally, I say they're not needed. A lot of classes get magic through class features or archetypes anyway (pretty much all of them, the last I checked), and used as-is these classes are generally pretty versatile and powerful. Really, overall, I don't see why you would actually need feats.

I played a drow barbarian during 3.5E days as part of an Eberron campaign. Tended to solve a lot of racism problems with a proper application of rage. I also played a warforged psion. That was... interesting. For 5E, I'm considering a drow wild mage.

You technically don't even need the DMG for adding on racial traits to those NPCs for the core races. The MM itself notes you can add on racial traits, and the racial traits are all mostly found in the PHB.

Skeleton Template, as far as I have worked it out: Con set to 15 Wis set to 8 Cha set to 5 Still working on the rest, but by and large it appears there's no skeleton template because it's supposed to be a GM fiat creature. Edit: Or, I could just look on page 282 of the DMG and notice they...

The wizards having D6 hit dice comes from Pathfinder.

Who says the lever they see has to be real? Or even a lever? I've used a few custom torch holders that look like levers in the past. They bend down for easy insertion of the torch for short people.

If you need to block it, just say the interaction of the two spells causes a localized explosion that cancels the hand spell. If all else fails, resort to explosions. After all, magic is volatile and dangerous.

Yay! I'll fill in more of her personality traits and other parts of that section as I write the background. I already have a basic idea of her, which I think will make for a very interesting character! And, I will say it was fun to make her! It went massively faster than I thought.

This would be awesome if the god interfering was Thor.
