No Class Hack is a supplement for use with David Black's, THE BLACK HACK and its variants to replace broader Classes with specific abilities and enhancements called Edges. No Class Hack also presents additional modular rules options for: Classic Fantasy Races (Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Halfling...

If I understand correctly, once you have successfully grappled a creature, that condition will continue until you choose to end it or the grappled creature escapes on its action. Question 1: If the creature does not use its action to escape, it may attack you normally. The grappled condition...

Looking for thoughts and input concerning Grappling for 5e. I want it to work better for monks or at least a monk or any other character that takes the Grappler Feat. There are a couple of ways I could do this and am looking for input. Option 1 For the monk Martial Arts change to the...

One of my players created a dragonborn and we were both a little puzzled that the green dragon poison breath weapon only did damage so I have house ruled the following tweaks. By the way, this tweak will also apply to a green dragon in the adventure (LMoP) that they will inevitably meet. Muha...

I am new to the Realms but does anyone else find the distances/map scale excessive for the recent few adventures set in the Forgotten Realms (Phandelver, Dragon Queen, Apocalypse Princes)? If so, how have you adjusted it. For example from Baldur's Gate to Waterdeep appears to be from 500...

Passive Perception = 10 + Wisdom modifier +5 if you have Advantage -5 if you have Disadvantage In the example in the free Basic Rules, +2 Proficiency Bonus is also included. It does not say that the example character has Skill Proficiency in Perception so I am not clear if that was just...

I have just uploaded Simple Landscape Charater Sheet by Red Kobold to the downloads area. This is a basic character sheet in landscape format with what I feel is the most referenced material on page 1 and more specific material on page 2. Page 3 is for spellcasters. This character sheet...

I find the Lightfoot Halfling trait, "Naturally Stealthy", sort of useless. "You can attempt to hide even when you are obscured only by a creature that is at least one size larger than you." I think I will house rule this to be "You have advantage when attempting to hide or move without being...

How is non lethal damage from punches being handled?

Would you rather keep the canon half-elf and half-orc or have two new core races?

I started this new topic after reading the "mystery race" thread. I dislike the whole half race notion and think it is a waste of space. And why do they all have to be half-human? Why not dwarf-gnomes, or elf-halflings, or dwarf-goblins? What about 1/4 races? Because it is too silly to be a...

I am sure the nld topic has been beaten to death (no pun intended) but let me know your house rules or point me to a thread with some good options. The d20 modern is the worst but standard d20 is ok but has anyone come up with something more interesting? The "Disabled" condition has also...

I would like some help from you guys on collecting a list of all the abilities and their ability score generation method of other rpgs out there including those from free/homebrew rpgs that you may have written or come across that you like. Here are the ones that I have come across starting...

I am thinking of developing some talent trees / feat progression paths for a fantasy setting using d20 modern. I am trying to track down all of the class level names from Ad&d (i.e. 1st level cleric: acolyte) as well as the racial level names for the elves, dwarves, hobbits, etc from Basic D&D...

What are some other systems (non d20) out there free or out of print of even in print that are innovative yet simple and elegant in their mechanics with a good but not overly complicated combat and magic system. I am not overly fond of % skill based systems but I am interested in opinions of...
