hm yes, today i will shill for zeitgeist and its adventure path in a manner that's actually relevant to the thread (the only thing i'd watch out for here is the firearm tech level is much more napoleonic then you might expect or, imo, it really should be - something like victoriana 5e might help...

horwath. my guy. do you even realize what you're doing here? action surge is one of the biggest features fighters get. and one of the best things you can do with them (especially given how the magic action is excluded now) is make additional attacks. you're effectively giving rangers multiple...

what the hell?????????????

i mean, maybe for an adult, but a DYING CHILD?

the hell does a dying child want a celebrity or political figure dead for? that might be the craziest part of this idea

how does the rhc not have a protocol for shapeshifters when risur is known in part for its druids?

"Man, if I get indicted once I leave here, this is getting harder and harder to explain. I don't think anyone's gonna buy a few dozen counts of self-defense with a submachine gun. I think there's kind of an unspoken rule in our society that if this many people are trying to kill you, you're...

the absence of evidence may not be evidence of absence, but it is equally not evidence of presence, so while it is a different statement im not sure it's different in a way @Minigiant actually cares about EDIT: oops wrong user my bad

wait that's kind of adorable what

in some senses i absolutely agree, but i'd leave the kobolds be, lol.

you can use anything badly or in excess, that's a non point. then you can lean into modern kobold tropes. the point i took from scribe was less that "We should stick to the past when playing races/species/whatevers" and more "Other races/species/whatevers had tropes to lean into for a reason".

have you considered the half orc and half elf are the problem? like, seriously, what are we doing here? are we actually gonna pretend like orcs and humans are the same species despite all evidence pointing otherwise including literally being labeled different species by the game itself, or are...

the nike logo of despair strikes again

this is true - dnd has a problem with making humans mechanically very boring, and 5e specifically has a problem with making them kind of weak. i do think 4e did a good job of making humans mechanically solid (as well as a5e and pf2e, but those are derivatives, not base dnd). does anyone have...

i already separated humans from human-like creatures earlier by giving them an exception. i guess i could have clarified that, but this really isn't that deep. EDIT: and before you ask, i didn't clarify because i thought that separation was obvious, especially based on responses i got shortly after.

no. by this logic any beast, humanoid, giant, or monstrosity is actually a dragon because dragons can interbreed with them (see the half dragon template). is this what we're doing? seriously?

but a human-like creature...literally isn't human. it is, by its very nature, dehumanized in some way or form. that's the point (in fiction) - to create something human-like but with inhuman (as in literally not human, not necessarily inhumane) qualities and explore that. in that sense i don't...

...are...are you implying english people...aren't human? or something? i'm not sure what your point is.

well, no, that is absolutely and definitionally a form of political correctness. it's just not modern political correctness. it's outdated, but for the time it'd be correct. ...that said, i'm not sure wizards of the coast even does that (in the sense that i think they've been shying away from...
