DnD has gone through so many edition changes that they might not have portfolios in 2e, I thought I'd seen somewhere where they did but closest I can find in my brief search is in 3e where they, are noted as patrons of things like greed and lust or secrets.

I think I've stopped playing DnD for a few years ever since I started, not because of going to another game but due to life. Happened with 2e, 3e, and 4e. 5e I've been able to play somewhat consistently, I have played some OSE in between and am still playing 5e because that's what the DM wants...

Perhaps it isn't necessary, but I like having the warrior+caster classes of paladin (divine) and ranger (druidic) and would love to see the warrior+wizard equivalent. It is entirely possible to strip down many of the classes to the basics and make classes like barbarian, paladin, ranger...

It has been a while since I've used it, but last I checked I had to go through and select every single one of my books. Maybe it's easy, but it's time consuming and I can't always remember all the options I have, especially with the little 6 monster books that they have. It's a pain and makes me...

It definitely could do better at filtering, not just which you own in the source books, but also when looking at options in the lists and encounter builders. I definitely don't need to see monsters from products I don't own when throwing together an encounter and the current method of choosing...

That sounds like it's for the marketplace which did allow you to hide purchased books. I never saw anything on the actual sourcebooks tab that let you filter them to show only the ones that you had already purchased.

Did the website ever do this? I don't recall ever having the ability to filter on owned books other than in the app.

Isn't there that whole southern continent that is effectively uncharted?

This isn't really true, the various mtg books limited races. There may have been a sidebar "talk to your DM if you want to play X race" but by default they were limited. I think they'd do the same for dark sun. Other settings are a little more kitchen sink so not surprising that you can find...

I think increasing the dice is fine, but the modifier damage might be a bit too much. However, turning an attack into a small AoE might be cool, make a single attack roll, possibly hit both the barbarian and the fighter with a single attack.

It was from a single 2e supplement, the guide to hell, which is the only place I know of that talked about it.

I was never too fond of the serpent form of Asmodeus and exclude it from the lore if I actually use him. @dave2008 Asmodeus is ever so slightly weaker, but he is also harder to harm (+2 vs +3 weapons to hit might be moot by the time PC's get a chance to fight though). It would be an epic...

I remember those guys from my colouring books before I knew what DnD even was!

I recall somewhere in 2e that fiendish lords could grant clerics up to 3rd level spells, or 4th level if actually in the presence of the demon lord. I can't recall where it was though, I'm guessing planescape but I'd have to hunt around for it.

That's right, I had forgotten about that one, though I think it was quite different to 4e game play. Mind you, I only played it a little. I think I would have found a more squad based grid combat game more playable.
