@johnnyhall welcome to the boards. It is nice to bring back older threads and see not much has changed in the way I keep notes.

You really only need it to fight defensively and displacement while standing next to your backstab target.

Pick a Jumanji movie and insert quirky NPC. Maybe just have a diary of the poor soul who knows the many secrets of the demi-plane instead. Although a NPC is always fun to feed information. I was thinking of a common monster that roams all the 'islands' in the plane. Something like giant...

If you are using the sidekick rules, then your kitten could bed a 10th level caster by the time you reach 10th level. Or, maybe make a warrior sidekick and have some more HP and a 2nd attack at level 6. I would likely chop up the abilities from kitten to adult and spread them on a chart to...

I like this. I can see making potions and such to give you powers of animals such as seeing and hearing for bonuses to checks, but also claws and wings for short periods of time. Fire breath. There could be different roles like more of a combat sub-class or a scout sub-class that can...

Wasn't 5e supposed to have feats as an option when it came out. People liked feats from earlier editions and would want to take them to change up from the standard class abilities and such. However going from being able to raise your STR to 18 and getting +1 more to hit and damage to taking...

I saw in the discount aisle of Walmart the D&D movie figures for $20.00. They are like the old GI Joe or Star Wars figures, but I guess are seen as 'collectibles' now.

Take away feats in the game. Or, maybe just the ones that are the must have DPR feats like polearm mastery, sharpshooter, and great weapon mastery. This will bring the fighter damage back down and make it in line with the rogue. I'm looking forward to see if these change in the new books...

I seem to keep coming back to STRIKER. The chart wants something low defense but high offense. Artillery fits, but is tied to something else from 4e and I don't know, that is why I circle back to striker.

I played a D&D game where we all started as apprentices, or one PC was the apprentice and the rest there to help him on the quest. The master was more a quest-giver and only shoed up between quests. Maybe not quite the same as the thread seems to be going though When my son was first starting...

You keep committing bad things since you are on a special mission from senior leadership to infiltrate an evil gang of thugs knows and the PCs. Eventually you will turn on them and reveal that you are the good guy all along. Kind of the end justifies the means.

A future where 'magic' has taken over and a powerful overlord rises to reign supreme, what else to call it.

Some of this also could go to other checks like allowing Athletics to charge into a door to force it open instead of just a STR check. Not sure how far to go before getting into the 4e realm of wizards attacking with INT since they can 'analyze' where the opponent might be or the cleric...
