They're not associated with the elemental planes; however, they fill the niche of an fire/necrotic/poison element blaster as an archetype. Someone with an innate affinity for fire magic (or dark magic, etc). Its like saying that red dragon sorcerers are fire elementalists, even if they're not...

In 1dnd, they've got fire, necrotic and poison (three most common damage types in the game after s/b/p), and an easy template to add other elements to. They also come with resistance to the appropriate element. And, in 2014 5e, their two racial feats were (gain more elemental resistances) and...

Of course the gnomes are. I'd rather see them replaced personally, but I know and I said that its not going to happen and I accept that.

So, matching pairs in the 1dnd phb: Humans (no match) Elf, Dwarf (the classics) Gnome, Halfling (smol) Goliath, Orc (swol) Tiefling, Dragonborn (elemental) Notice how the ones on the left are more magically themed than the ones on the right, who tend to be more physical oriented. Goliaths are...

@Kaiyanwang - okay, thank you for the answer.

I would imagine that tiefs and dragos go together as two sides of the elementalist archeetypee. One magey one physical.

@Kaiyanwang - Its been decades (2003 release date) since I touched Draconomicon. I couldn't tell you what's in it anymore. Been too long. But seriously. You said that you didn't feel that 5e had monster books on par with Draconomicon. What is it about 5e monster books do you feel is...

What flavor? I'm a big fan of neopolitan. Joking aside... I would sooner recomend pairing them with Araoskha and Kenku like options (or the birds from Humblewood), maybe a dash of harpy, focusing on making this into a flying based race than I would spend focusing on making them mini-paladins...

We have mana systems. Spell points for casters, stamina / supeiority dice /rage / Ki (or dp) on martials. Purely out of curisoity, why does Fizbin's Treasury of Dragons not fill that Draconomicon niche for you?

There are 3 CHA based social skills, 1 INT based, and 2 WIS based. Similar breeak down in 3 and 4th editions. This has nothing to do with 5e and everything to do with CHA being a crappy attribute.

nitpick - understanding people falls under Insight and Wisdom (as the notice stuff attribute). Likewise, the ability to analyze peeps is Intelligence and Investigation; or History for etiquette and fashion.

Clearly, the drow-made poison that exists in the fantasy world of D&D does it. We know for a fact it works by entering the bloodstream - one of the supplements flat out said it. And it deals poison damage on the hit. Pure poison damage can be used to knock someone below 0 HP in 6 seconds and...

For all those who are claiming that PC hit points aren't meat - There are multiple poisons in this game that work on the assumption it is getting into your bloodstream, as it activates on a hit. Which means that HP is in, at least part, meat. You're bleeding. Its not the only mechanic that...

Someone asked why people had issues with this ability. I answered - many find Commander Strike unsatisfying and unreliable. You might be okay with it, and more power to ya, but it is a wider concern for many. Its likee Ranger's Favored Enemy and Terrain. Relying on outside factors is generally...

Rules as Written: 6-8 medium encounters per adventuring day Rules as Played: Lol. Lmao.

Oh, that reminds me. There was a mechanic in another game that had sacrifice HP as a mechanic... but it was also a reward, because there were number of abilities that empowered you at half or lower HP. Similar to "Bloodied" from 4e. Could do an aura or whatever that rewarded low hp to make...

Variance is fine so long as it doent make players feel weak. That is a vibe that can ruin enjoyment, according to surveys. Its a common complaint with Commander stirke. People asked why the balance was considered "difficult" with granting attacks. These are the common answers I've run into...

The well known variances in Commander Strike makes me wonder if this is a serious question or just being contrary. Rogue or pally smite is outright superior to an attack with a simple weapon and dump stat.

That will be a firm "Maybe." 1d&d monk has 3 flurry of lows BA at lvl 11. This is key to doing damage as a monk, leaving their base attack with 2 attacks. An equal level 1dnd Fighter gets 4 attacks with Nick. Bard cantrip gets even worse. Variations are still there.

So does that mean the real Ranger was the seeker?
