In the first One D&D playtest doc, races possessed no ability score bonuses or penalties. At the end of the day, I like it and hate it for the exact same reason. But before I begin, let me just say again that the term “race” needs to go away. It is an imprecise term thatContinue reading “One D&D: Decoupling Races from Abilities”

5e: Grave Gnomes
One of the things I LOVED about third edition was all the racial options we had. There are so many that are rather imaginative and inspiring that I do not feel have been duplicated in the current edition. So I thought I would create a scratch-off-the-serial-numbers version of one of my favorites. So today IContinue reading “5e: Grave Gnomes”
5e: Cavern Elves
Drow are problematic. They are portrayed as dark skinned and evil except for the few that are brooding but good. I always feel that calling an entire race or subrace evil (outside of fiends) as lazy design. So when a player in my campaign said they wanted to play a drow but had some problemsContinue reading “5e: Cavern Elves”

5e: 3 Reasons Why 5e Warlocks Are Awesome
Everyone has their favorite Fifth Edition class. The warlock, however, is in a class by itself. As someone who enjoys playing this newer class (newer being it was created during 3rd edition and made a core class in 4th, as compared to all the other core book classes first appearing in 1e or 2e), thereContinue reading “5e: 3 Reasons Why 5e Warlocks Are Awesome”

5e: The Lizardfolk Race
Lizardfolk are one of the most misunderstood races in the world, reviled by other humanoid societies for their practice of cannibalism, their frequent alliances with or subjugation by evil dragons, and their tendency to war over border encroachments and environmental exploitation. Despite the misunderstandings of outsiders about this race of people, lizardfolk occupy and protectContinue reading “5e: The Lizardfolk Race”
