    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    This feels like a Jeopardy question. ;) Only here we're trying to find the category this question belongs to. :p "I'll take it for 500 gp."

    D&D 5E (2024) New Feats, avenues to diversity?

    If this monk took up levels of Rogue (Assassin), you could get someone like Subzero from Mortal Kombat.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    A Dragonborn with a particular damage type resistance is also more likely to work in certain backgrounds. Those who are resistant to fire will work at the forges while those with acid resistance will be in professions that deal with acidic and alkaline substances such as a chemist. And so forth.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Kobold Press's Dragonborn equivalent, the Dragonkin, don't have breath weapons. Instead, each Dragonkin subspecies has a resistance to a particular damage type (Flame-Fire, Stone-Acid, Wind-Lightning, Wave-Cold, Soldier- Poison) and knows a cantrip. That said, a Dragonborn's breath weapon is a...

    Not only that, but they could also set it up where either group of bandits snipes the party from a distance while taking three-quarters to total cover. The party would then find themselves wondering who was attacking. Are the energy attacks being thrown at them spells or some natural ability...

    The Aasimar and the Orcs could certainly use a history update.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    This is something that players do whenever they role-play as their characters. Whenever we are role-playing as a member of a particular species, we're either confirming the biases and stereotypes that have been associated with our character's species, or we're bucking them by surprising others...

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    He must have rolled some dice that was given to him by Fate.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    It could be relevant and useful if it offers mechanical traits that benefit the player somehow. In Level Up, a particular culture can offer the player additional skill proficiencies, weapon proficiencies, and a language that the player can read, speak or even sign in. And you can have it where a...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Since WoTC decided to 'kick' the Dragonborn out of their own nation, it might be a while before they are a part of anyone else's local cultural lore. Then we'll get to see how different a Dragonborn from the Dalelands differs from one living in Waterdeep.

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    Level Up: A5e takes a similar approach here with Heritage (who your parents are), Culture (the society you grew up in), Background and Destiny (what are your goals as an adventurer). Carrot would have the Human heritage, one of the three Dwarven cultures in A5e (Mountain, Hill or Deep), and the...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Maybe it would help if you told me what options humans, elves and dwarves get to enjoy that aren't available to Dragonborn.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    What would the players gain if all of them were equally prevalent in a setting? The fact that they are already a part of that setting's standard line-up of PC species should be all that matters when choosing one of them for your character. You choose a species and pick a place within the setting...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Something my DM told me several years ago: "If you are eating an elephant, eat it in small bites." As everyone knows, an elephant is the world's largest land-dwelling mammal. You cannot eat it in one sitting. You have to eat it in small bites over a period of time. The same thing goes for...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    The players can also go to websites like DM's Guild, Drive Thru RPG and those belonging to well-known homebrewers to find stuff for their own personal settings. When you have all of these online resources available to you, WoTC doesn't really need to a lift a finger and create a new setting...

    It's cool. For a while I collected but did not play 4e. Then I came across a path that led me to Pathfinder for a while. ;)

    D&D General Lets Make a 5e 2024 Setting - Setting Era

    Sort of like 3e's Urban Arcana setting. Shadowrun, but as a magicpunk/Urban Fantasy setting that stars the species from D&D.
