    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    While my preferred is a non-magical ranger, my first was an arcane ranger. before Aragon for me, there was Shamino from Ultima. I would absolutely love a "spell sniper" subclass of ranger that is based on mixing the arcane with archery and woodcraft.
  2. Shades of Eternity

    In a fantasy world filled with magic and miraculous beings, will the religious concepts of the locals be completely different from the human of Earth?

    The main thing I usually get from most fantasy worlds is that the gods are just as petty as any mortal, and the fewer of them, the better. I wouldn't be surprised if there are nihilist cults explicitly designed to remove gods and usurp their powers. Afterall, if they have stats, you can kill...

    D&D General How much Ars Magica is in Dungeons and Dragons 3e?

    I listened to a reading of D&D allowed, and Ben Riggs had Jonathan Tweet on it. In 3e, it felt like spellcasters were given supremacy at the expense of every other class (ex., CoDzilla), especially compared to their 2e counterpart. I always assumed it was Monte Cook's love of mages (and coined...

    Other D&D Variant Nimble 5e

    I received my new books and had a chance to look at them; honestly, after a 1st read, I seriously love them. It is very streamlined, and they fixed the ranger by splitting it into two classes: hunter and shepherd, both of which work significantly better than the grab bag of the 5e ranger...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you run a game in Ravnica?

    Yeah, and now it's making me look at it with a Shadowrun eye. so naturally, we need to add the greatest dragon in all of fiction. The great Canadian Dragon DunkelZahn :D

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you run a game in Ravnica?

    Ever since somebody said treat it like cyberpunk, I'm tempted to do the Ravnica equivalent of cybergenerations and just completely mess up the setting. :p

    D&D General Kara Tur 5e

    yup, Canada is a desolate wasteland that is surprisingly interesting, which I hope I portrayed in another thread. :D I'll be blunt What areas in Kara-tur are criminally underwritten? I'm having an absolute blast filling in the holes. :D

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you run a game in Ravnica?

    This is book that started my reduction of interest in 5e books. It's not the worst, but I never figured out how to run a game in this world. It has all the complaints of Forgotten Realms NPCs interfering with the addition that you're allowed to do even less to avoid messing up the status quo...

    D&D General WotC: 'Of Course We're Going To Do' Baldur's Gate 4

    They will prep a great plan, show it to the hasbro suits, and then immediately run away at the original cost. Ever since I found out they almost had a D&D MMO....and then sold it out to Atari, I have no faith in them actually doing the work. Let Larian bask in the glory of BG3 and then use...

    D&D 5E (2014) Upsidasium (Special Material)

    Been a fan of Rocky and Bullwinkle and started pondering, and well, here it is. Upsidasium (Special Material) Wondrous Ore, Rare Upsidasium is a silvery, fragile crystalline metal that defies gravity. Even the smallest shard will drift upward unless restrained. Properties Negative Weight. A...

    D&D General In 2025 FR D&D should PCs any longer be wary of the 'evil' humanoids?

    I honestly like referring to opponents as 'the bad guy" because it takes out a lot of the racial coding. When I did my work, I made their function based on equipment and then slapped on a tweak based on species. one last thing I am a particular fan of Minotaur PCs, or as I like to call them...

    D&D General In 2025 FR D&D should PCs any longer be wary of the 'evil' humanoids?

    I always thought more people played PC Kobolds than Gnomes. They are like little dragon dudes.

    D&D General Kara Tur 5e

    I can see two groups. 1. the benevolent society that does things for adventurers behind the scenes. 2. but I'm a sucker for another group They are technically Argentine mercenaries, but the Japanese wrote them, so maybe some sort of rowdy bunch of mercenaries to use as friends or foes...

    D&D General Kara Tur 5e

    What's a good symbol for a benevolent society that is inspired by the white lotus society in Avatar, the harpers, and the ikari warriors from KOF (and probably a dab of Full Metal Panic)—basically, a plug-and-play support system for adventurers in Kara-Tur.

    D&D General Kara Tur 5e

    Laothan: The Kingdom Under Shadow Then and Now Laothan was once a lush, monsoon-fed realm of terraced rice fields, jungle hills, and bamboo villages. Its people, the Seng, were known for their artistry, silverwork, festivals, and devotion to the Path of Enlightenment—especially the Ku Nien...
