That's not question you asked. You asked for a reason why I would want to play a Tortle beyond "TMNT", which was accusatory in that you believe the only reason a player would ask to play one (even if it's not on The List) was Lol Michelangelo. I posit the reason why the player wants to play one...

So one of the major changes in 2024 is the removal of bypassable Resistances to weapon damage. (Aka resistance to bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing weapons that aren't magical (or silver, adamantine, etc)). Instead, those monsters tended to get more HP to compensate. Has anyone done the math...

I mean, he was a joke character the player played seriously (did all his clerical duties for healing etc). I just wondered if his eccentric take on divinity was a step too far on adding lore.

I once had a player play a gnome Tempest Cleric who was certified insane. He introduced himself as Tesla, God of Lightning and honestly believe he was the God of Storms on the world. (The world was Eberron, btw). He obviously wasn't, and in his madness he wasn't sure where his cleric powers came...

Again, do you demand your players justify why they are playing an elf? A sorcerer? Do you say "Oh, an elf. You just like Legolas?" Of course not. Yet if its not a traditional choice, the player now needs to come up with a well-reasoned thesis on their choice. My Reason?

I'd accept that an adult conversation was being had IF it's not always phrased as if the compromise is "you will play what I allow and how I want you to or you will find yourself in the outside looking in."

I'm going to say this would be a difficult task for an experienced DM. It's probably not going to work in the hands of a new DM.

The existence of "infant so tender and mild" implies the existence of chewy, spicy baby.

So the fact that it was relation for a RACIALLY MOTIVATED LYNCHING doesn't factor at all? That nobody in the community tried to stop them is a tacit approval of such behavior. I won't say more due to the politics rule on this board. I didn't realize your setting was Eberron where magical...

So something like the Original, 3e version of Dragonborn? I start as a human, am part of a special magical ritual where I'm blessed by the Dragon God and gain draconic elements (scales, claws, horns) to my appearance as well as the regular Dragonborn species traits? That's fair.

Unarmored Defense. Every Character adds their Primary Ability Score to 10+ Dexterity. So a Fighter is 10 + Str + Dex, a Cleric is 10 + Wis + Dex, etc. Considering you are effectively overhauling the whole class system to remove magic (and thus a lot of the magical bonuses that come from spells...

I legitimately wondered if there was any exception to the curated list. My players bring me 3pp options and I will review it and make a call on it. I can't know everything that exists, so I review them and make a call. I just wondered if you did the same or if the list was finite and unchanging.

WHat if I bought you the book? Now can I use it?

So if a player came to you with an option from a brand new book (say, a new subclass) and asked "can I play this?" You would have to say no because if you allowed it, you would have to allow Tortle gunslingers as well? Corollary question: how through is your list and how often do you update it?

Serious with a small sprinkle of snark. Let's review where this conversation stemmed. A poster declared that in his game a tabaxi would be lynched by locals who think he is related to a raksasha. Another poster made a comment that if they went to lynch him, they would burn the village down...

Which I was told several times in this thread. Goose meet gander

If you have that much lore for the silly elf game to justify killing a PC tiefling, I don't know what to tell you.

Your premise begins with the notion that somehow everyone knows the PCs are guilty. Apparently the PCs were dumb enough to do it in plain sight, leave witnesses, and announced their names as they did it. And everyone around saw the burned wreckage and knew it wasn't orc raiders or the cow...
