D&D 5E Darksun times of change[Oc]closed]

Haha well Azure said they're way bigger than goliaths so I just wanted to be sure he still wanted a 10ft 1400lb creature to be Medium.

Oh yeah, the first one they posted was DandDWiki-level broken but the last one was in the range of playable, with the Dex penalty and the Born to Obey flaw.

Them being medium is a pain. Them being larger than medium causes more issues.

Yeah I can see that. That's probably the brightest line not to cross in 5e PC racial design. If they were going to find a way to publish a Large race, they'd have done it in Volo's.

Once the characters are in im going to look at getting a game started. It looks like some interest may have dropped off(ill double check against the RG thread i may shoehorn every one into the same game.)

To avoid any conflicts from our discussion earlier (the shield, defensive style, etc) I just made the final Chtchk'Chtchk an archer with no armour.

Looking forward to this.

I don't understand. Unlike in 3.x, Large size does nothing but make you take up more space in 5e. (That +4 Str is more of an issue for me.) If everything else is balanced, Large size just means more people can surround you (in the open), you take up a ton of space (in tight spaces), and if you are invisible, attackers have a better chance of targeting the "correct" space you're in. That's it.

Oh, and give you a bigger carrying capacity. But hardly anyone ever tracks encumbrance, anyway.

Here some lore about Thri-Kreen by the way:

Taking up more space allows you to threaten more enemies -- and a 10x10 Protection Sentinel Paladin could be sweetly tanky.
DMG 278 discusses weapons for Large creatures, and it could get nasty.

If causes issues with squeezing and gear size and stuffs.

Is there an Athasian substitute for the chainmail a fighter gets in their standard package?

Or can I dump down to scale?
