I seem to recall a not-too-recent 3PP item that described the Knome - a cross between Kender and Gnomes. Talk about the stuff of nightmares.

Too late. We are gnomes, and we are in. We'll give you this: you're right that you can't trust us. :heh: :heh:

Wemics (from Forgotten Realms). Kalashtar (from Eberron). These are the two I most want to see.

Double posting. Appears I'm not too lazy to hit the submit button twice.

... and there's the reason for the mending cantrip. But then, I'm lazy and I'm cheap, and that seems to copy over to my PCs.

"Give you gold?!? Dude, I can apply my own war paint, thank you very much." :heh: ... although I'm thinking a magical M.C. Escher could really screw up the magic portal business. Minotaurs would have a field day.

Had one player at our table who insisted on calling the denizens of Furyondy "Furry-undies". That's just wrong.

Wow! Thanks for the new playground!

Doesn't the word "wizard" come from the same root as "vizier"? My understanding of the RW role of viziers was that they had enough education and experience to enable them to advise leaders as to possible consequences of different courses of action. They weren't always right, and their...

Yes. Quick, to-the-point, and it seems reasonable to add to the Champion archetype. It treads a little on the Battlemaster's Maneuvers, but not enough to be a steal.

Since Dodge (Parry) is generally a reaction to being attacked, it doesn't make a good fit for an Extra Attack action on a PC's turn. Helping another character, though: that I like.

So, "maþþumgyfa" might share the origin root for Tolkien's hobbit cultural giving of "mathoms" (if I remember the correct word) on their birthdays? And such a hobbit would then be the maþþumgyfa. Cool!

Fanaelialae - (no XP Award option showing; re comment #10 on this thread). Very good suggestions.

I really like MerricB's idea of the side-quests (see comment #8 in this thread). It keeps the game moving forward without letting it drop into a TPK, and may also be utilized to provide foreshadowing for when the party is ready for the more dangerous scenarios. Here's a notion that can be used...

FYI: "Redthistle" is the clan name of my favorite gnome PC (Pathfinder game). He's a rogue/sorcerer, but I could add a level of bard just for your nightmares' sake ... ;) Your comment triggered a memory of a meme making the rounds, might have been back in the 1990s. The idea then was that...

Can I stir the debate, and suggest it be named the Brandegoris College of Bardic Dance? Heh-heh-heh!

Well, that, too. ;)

Watch a movie combat scene with the sound on mute. Watch the scene again with the soundtrack playing. The difference is bardic influence.

The ounce is the basic unit of measure (can I call it archaic?) in this system: 1 ounce of water sets the standard for a weight of 1 ounce. There are 128 ounces in a gallon. There are 16 ounces to a pound of weight. 128/16 = 8; therefore, a gallon weighs 8 pounds. I love it that according...

"You done good," as Joe Don Baker used to say, in the role of a club-toting lawman on a TV show back in the day, whose name has slipped my aging brain. "Walking Tall" was the name of the show.
