Tome of Aliens (SF) Starfinder Warp Wraith: Warp wraiths are the wretched spirits of those who have traveled into the beyond and been destroyed. Warp Wraith, Wretched Spirit of One Who Has Traveled Into the Beyond and Been Destroyed: ?

Yep, most everything that could be thematically changed, individual spells, class powers, magic items, was. It was a lot like 1e where the DMG had a whole section on further hidden rules for the PHB spells and class abilities so a DM might need to look up hidden aspects of things the players...

The solution I came up with for why werewolves were a thing but not a pandemic was that there was a three part stage of stuff. 1 Original Curse. Cursed person has no control over their werebeast, they fully black out and are beasts and are infectious murder beasts. 2 Infected. Turned into...

I had two PCs be narratively Werewolf the Apocalypse style werebeasts in a 5e game. One was mechanically a human druid who narratively was a werewolf wolf changing into human form. The other was mechanically a shifter barbarian who would change into their werebear hybrid form when using...

In 3e once afflicted you have the involuntary changes from the moon and chances of changin when you are wounded. You can try to resist with a wisdom check that can be bolstered by a developed skill. You then get the blackout if you fail and are temporarily an NPC acting on the werebeast's...

Lycanthropy varies a lot by edition. In AD&D it was supposed to make you an NPC if you ever give in to the urges. Which makes it a fairly terrible thing to include in games casually. In 3e it gives you essentially a couple levels in a really crappy class (animal HD) with an LA on top of it, plus...

I don't see that as the clear 1e rationale. From the 1e PH MU class description page 25: "Furthermore, they can wear no armor and have few weapons they can use, for martial training is so foreign to magic-use as to make the two almost mutually exclusive." My read of this is that the clearest...

I am almost exclusively D&D for things I run. I have played a number of other games (GURPS, WFRP, Palladium, Rolemaster, Star Frontiers, Shadowrun, Vampire the Masquerade, Mutants & Masterminds, Everquest RPG, Honey Heist, Kids on Bikes, homebrew systems, etc.), and I am up for most games as a...

From the OP. :) A minorly common thing here to ask that the thread responses engage positively with the topic and not be used as a place to suggest how instead something different should be done or the topic is a bad idea. So a request to talk about positives of Greyhawk and not use it as an...

The Widow's Tear Starfinder Undead: This silver-blue band is known as the Disquiet Veil. It is believed to be the remains of a rare cosmic event: two icy planetoids that collided on the edge of the system, blasting one another into oblivion. Gravity and time brought the icy remnants together...

And yet . . . :)

The 2e Warriors & Priests of the Realms had a kit for priests of Tyr the justice god who acted as judges, the Scales of Tyr.

My favorite option for RPG classes in the legal field was in Warhammer where they had two that I remember, I played the first. :)
