Very early in 1e, I had a female illusionist (human, obviously, since that or gnome were your only options, then). She had some levels and then the DM/group wanted randomly decided to roll everyone's psionics (which we just didn't do, normally, bitd). She made the impossibly high cut! What...

So, Elkhorn, Strongheart, Mercion, that new thiefy nonbinary character from the Witchlight adventure that had a mini (as if they were part of the original character toy line), and a -as far as I can tell, entirely new- Elf of Color character. A Gold Dragon with (seemingly directing) their...

I tend to "relore" to minimize the wide array of creatures available, while still making it possible/plausible for them to exist in the homebrewed world. The most blatant is probably reloring basically all draconic creatures to being mutated or "unfinished/incorrect" offspring of actual...

I have different ones/uses. A pretty even split between the occidental and oriental varieties. The main/largest religion of the setting has various monasteries that house male and female followers. Some are male exclusive. Some female. Titles tend to be - for the day-to-day general religious...

I'd say, for the most part, they're looked at as "mercenaries." Potentially dangerous folks who enter a village...you're not sure why they're there or why they would want to go up to the old ruin. They have some business they're after...but the commoners don't necessarily want to know what it...

Just putting this in general because, why not? What is your "defining" shtick, feature (or features), of each class in your D&D (or fantasy RPG of choice)? We're not going to change what is coming out in a month. Debating what was in 5e or any other edition isn't going to change any of it, so...

This "test" does seem to skew "Paladin" for a lot of people. It was my highest rating, also...and a class I have next to no interest playing. Think I've had a single Paladin character...in a short-lived Pathfinder game...once, in my 40 years of gaming. My second and third highest ranks were...

Hmmmm....<cracks knucles>.....<cracks neck>.... <furrows brow>.... Let's do this.. Artificer turn into (for lack of a better working title) "prestige class." See below. Barbarian Bard turn into prestige class. See below. Cleric Druid Fighter Monk class rename. Paladin turn into prestige...

The deities of my homebrew, by decree of the king of the gods, are forbidden from directly interfering with Creation. This, of course, is a very serious decree, rife with loopholes. No. Gods can not manifest on the Prime in their totality/"true godly selves." Period. They've done it. Past...

A "default" setting needs to be a fantasy world. Not Forgotten Realms (but I have little to no hope they wouldn't just keep up the branding and marketing for FR that they've steeped so many years into). Exandria is a distinct possibility. And would appeal to a modern player base sensibility, I...

I would submit, as is Eberron, for that matter.

High praise, indeed. Two of my favorites! Thank you.

Here's s'more stuff I have floating around (apologies nothing more complete or recent has been scanned).
