I mean, are we changing everything? Greyhawk isn't a load bearing "Only these races have to be playable or everything collapses" setting. Its a bare-bones basic setting based on a homebrew setting that is absolutely based on rule of cool. We are talking about the setting with the god who is a...

This is being published as a "Hey here's an example setting thing" in the book that's introducing people to the game for the first time. Its going to be doing an absolutely poor job of that if it goes "Okay remove 50% of the races of the game because they didn't exist before 90% of the people...

If we're going to comment on setting elements making logical sense, I'm going to take an absolute golfclub to Ravenloft, Kara Tur and Maztica well before I get to any of the new stuff they're likely going to be adding to Greyhawk. Logical sense is not in this game's history for worldbuilding...

Adam isn't his name. The Monster goes nameless, but he compares himself to Adam The quote in question is “I ought to be thy Adam; but I am rather the fallen angel”

I'm pretty sure you've the right of it with this one. I've also bad news for folks wanting them to go "Dragonborn and Goliaths don't exist!" because I basically am betting, right now, both will just show up with no explanation outside of "Goliaths are from the mountains" and maybe a vague...

We are in a bit of a closed ecosystem here, though I dunno where EzekielRaiden goes to find his games (from personal experience my experience getting games going through Discord has a success rate of 0) but it is possible it is from other places that may not know or care about it. It can be a...

Much larger buy-in on folks having to learn Level Up though, and absolutely folks who'd be prone to doing more 5E related stuff might just go "Nah" because they just consider it homebrew If you can't get someone cool with Kibble or Lazy's warlords despite those being incredibly well regarded in...

Arcane can be blue or violet, but always lighter blues, closer to sky blue. The violets can also verge towards pink Shadow is deep indigo, never really hitting the warmer shades Druid magic is, of course, green.

aaa where the heck did these 17 pages show up while I was at work. Hades 2 had its EA launch, there's a Warcraft patch, everything's happening I mean, the lion's share of the book is allocated to how to fight people so I'd argue these are really supported roles. Regardless Doesn't have any...

If we don't remind them that "Hey, this random homebrew does it better, give us a Warlord", they'll forget. The demand's still there. Just, saying nothing and using a homebrew one works, yeah, but then they're also not hearing "This is a gap in the game that needs to be filled" Same thing with...

They're irrelevant to the character concept regardless of how they're flavoured. That won't help. You're not doing the thing you could do, and homebrew shows that you should be able to do. Well, given we're talking 5E combats, Warlock is generally considered the gold standard of where people...

And that just runs into the debt from the bard side of things, though it is closer this way. But magical secrets and stuff like that? That's not useful for you or your concept and ties into the Bard fantasy which is irrelevant to the concept being played at the table. You're still getting...

Anything a character gets has to be balanced against what other subclasses get All that Fighter stuff is making this pseudo-warlord focus too much on being good at combat and not the other side of the warlord thing. If folks were okay with that, then they'd be okay with Battlemaster and not...

Its not impossible, its just not ideal. Its being weighed down with Fighter stuff that isn't essential to the Warlord concept. The Warlord shouldn't have everything from the base Fighter chasis, and having that also limits its overall power and potential. Homebrewers have done it fine, just...

Yeah I'ma just. Doubt that one significantly. I know Bladesinger is an uncannily good tank but, you can't draw a tank out of every class. Plus, with healer out? The only roles left are... DPS and tank, which, yeah, the other classes are doing, but not well If we're using "Can't be a tank" to...
