No wonder I didn't see it. Missing things in front of my nose is my other super-power.

Sorry that it has taken so long to get back to this thread; well, y'know, life. I've only found one thing that I feel hits the "over-powered" trigger, in the Companion's Bond feature: Becoming proficient with all saving throws. At 3rd level, it is way too unfair to other creatures of comparable...

When does this poll close?

I just tried the link and none of the update/fixes appear on it.

My own most common typo may well be the word "ithe". That's from when my thoughts are going faster than my fingers can keep up, and is an unintended contraction of the words "in the".

An intriguing concept. The Shadow leans into an Evil direction, even if not through malice, but simply by the nature of its hunger. The best that it might manage, alignment-wise, appears to be Chaotic Neutral. That might make it difficult to be accepted by other adventurers. It would be smart...

Oh, this looks good, and as per your usual, the presentation is top-notch. The "Secure Home" and "Secure Ship" spells are delightful additions to the game.

"Lies, damn lies, and statistics." Sad truth, but I find all three to be sources of entertainment. :-S Although this article only included the third category, I certainly enjoyed it!

Regrettably, I only had time to get back to this thread due to hitting a stretch of unemployment. Hopefully, a new job opportunity will develop soon. In a better world, RPGs would easily take precedence over needing to earn a paycheck, eh? I'm a bit alarmed at the idea of meeting a T. Rex...

I'm only familiar with the 4e bladeling, which lacks either an automatic or save-vs. type of damage to opponents in a grapple. Adding it here makes so much sense, especially since it is automatic damage. Imho, if it were save-vs., it would have to be a Wisdom saving throw at disadvantage...

This is good. One problem I have is with the UA article's wording, " ... cloak your allies ... " which implies that the feature should apply to more than one ally at the same time. Going on in the second paragraph to say it only applies to one ally per usage of Channel Divinity irks my sense...

In 4e, there was an assassin build for the rogue class. One of the Paragon Paths included a type of assassin that could capture the soul of a creature it killed. I used that idea of capturing a soul as a prerequisite for the creation of any warforged PC/NPC. It could only be done using ritual...

Back in the 80s, I had played the solo adventure, Maze of the Riddling Minotaurs. When I adapted it to run it as an adventure for my group, I needed to add some additional riddles, a form of humor that's never been my long suit. One of the riddles had something to do with blood, and the...

I agree with you about switching from Protection from Evil and Good to Shield of Faith. However, I'm on the fence regarding Protection from Poison. I view that spell like D&D's answer to an epi-pen: the need for it may be unlikely, but when it's needed, it's NEEDED. The change may be fluff...

I didn't know this. Finding out about this is like Krampus giving back everything he's taken from me over the years. This just became the best Christmas ever! (Laughing) Thank you, UngeheuerLich!

I totally missed the boat on the "thunderbeast" being an apatosaurus (technically, it was the now defunct label of brontosaurus that translates to "thunder lizard"). I just went my bird-brained way and thought of thunder-birds because of the connection to storms. Thanks for redirecting me on that.

Have you looked at the Unearthed Arcana Barbarian Primal Paths for the Path of the Storm Herald? i don't see anything counter-intuitive about a Shaman/Sorcerer mix. To me, a sorcerer is all about an innate linkage to magical powers, and makes more sense as a shaman than any cleric, warlock, or...

"... distilling the rules out of Gygax's PHB and DMG in a comprehensible form ..." This. Oh, sweet Lord, this. When I saw the organization of the 3.0/3.5 rule books, I almost jumped to my feet to dance. The only thing that stopped me was that I didn't want to stop reading. To this day, nothing...

Thank you for starting this Thread! It hurts my brain just thinking about it, but it's a challenge worth it's time.

This would take 11 levels just to gain 1 level in each class. Any cantrips would scale for character level damage for 11th-level (not-so-bad) but no ASIs would have been achieved since those are tied to class level. The proficiency bonus would have reached +4, but the most ASI bumps you could...
