You don't have to. I don't know if it was you, and I think it probably wasn't since I think it was from before 2023 when you joined the site, but someone once said they liked running hit points like Dragonball Z. That's perfectly fine and can be lots of fun. My position is coming from a...

Yes, and they do say that typically that's the case, which leaves open say a giant scorpion stinger attack to scratch you when above 50% in order to actually cause a poison save.

In 5e the rules say this... "you typically show no signs of injury. When you drop below half your hit point maximum , you show signs of wear, such as cuts and bruises. An attack that reduces you to 0 hit points strikes you directly, leaving a bleeding injury or other trauma, or it simply knocks...

And they would be fools not to try and capture both.

You don't need to change it at all with a new edition. Revealing what was always there because of a new addition is not a change to the setting. A change would be if a race was known to be there and it vanished because of a new edition. For example, when Dragonborn came out and were revealed...

And yet Dark Sun remains very popular, despite every race but human being either new or changed, weapons and armor being very different, magic being different, psionics being prominent, and so on.

But wasn't very good to build a movie around.

It's neither coincidence, nor important. The game changes and every setting in the game reacts retroactively to add in those elements from the very beginning. Settings, not being tied to any rule set, work with any rule set. There is no issue with these elements appearing, but the reverse is...

Do you not understand that only a miniscule fraction of the world(every setting ever made), it's cities and its history has been detailed out? The Suloise could have created tens of thousands of Dragonborn and had entire armies of them fighting in their wars. We don't know because their wars...

Yes, the UA has a table that opens up cleric to gray, hill, and mountain dwarves. Edit: Of course no table I ever played at limited classes the way the 1e PHB did. If an NPC could do it, PCs could do it. That's probably what prompted the UA change.

This is from the 1e Dragonlance Adventures book, talking about Lord Soth. "Yet waiting for him along the way was a troop of elven clerical women who stopped him." "His Knights, blind in their obedience to his will, remain with him still as skeleton warriors, the elven clerics reside there as...

We don't know if there's some way to decouple movement through time from movement through space with regard to time travel. Every year we learn new things and revise old understandings. If they can be decoupled, you could move through time, but not space and end up in the past, but in the same...

That's true. All editions were like that, even 3e which probably had the most NPCs with PC classes in it.

100% a default option for 5e. Page 92. "When you give an NPC game statistics, you have three main options: giving the NPC only the few statistics it needs, give the NPC a monster stat block, or give the NPC a class and levels."

Having a PC class was a default NPC option as recently as 5e. 5.5e got rid of that I think, but it was there in the 5e DMG for sure.

That's not a special human ability. It would be an athletics check by someone with good dex and con. Sure, but they would learn it during adolescence. All high elves(with probably a very few exceptions) would learn that cantrip by adulthood. Virtually all wood elves would be taught to hide...

I very strongly disagree. Standing there and having a club bounce off of your face is much more ridiculous.

It literally doesn't. The PHB says PCs draw their abilities from the race they belong to, not that they have super special extra powers. Elves probably wouldn't use firebolters because they wouldn't want to burn down forests, plains, etc. They love nature. Arrows are much better in that regard.

Lots of them were seen. Just not by PCs or mentioned by the incredibly sparse tidbits of history in the official setting. Metric craptons of Greyhawk history have never been mentioned in official products.
