Good type of min-maxer: hey I was curious so I looked through the rulebooks and figured out exactly how to make a monk that can run at 100 mph
Bad type of min-maxer: check out my Homebrew race! Its defining feature is that all their attacks do quadruple damage. It's balanced because they have one less hitpoint. Glass cannon!
God y'all must really like this post, it became my most popular in less than like 10 hours
......... different fantasy races should be impacted differently by each other's alcohol
no more if this "fine elvin wine" shit, I am going to personally write a fantasy setting in which every human knows that elf booze tastes and feels like fantasy la croix. there's barely even a flavor, and you'd need to drink a few to even get tipsy.
meanwhile, every human with a lick of common sense knows that you need to plan accordingly if you're going to be drinking dwarven liquor, because it hits you hard and fast and you'll lose feeling in your legs faster than you thought was physically possible. the hangovers are the stuff of legend.
the flip side is that elves are an entire race of (comparative) lightweights, and a whole gaggle of teenange elves can get piss drunk passing around one bottle of fruity human wine
I think there's some compatability among drinks brewed by reptilian races (dragonborn, lizardfolk, tortles, kobolds, etc) although you run into similar translation issues as mammalians, but there is absolutely no crossover. like if a drsgonborn and a dwarf in a (very cosmopolitan) tavern were to switch drinks it would be a nonstarter.
"this is basically just a capri sun," the dragonborn says, disappointed.
"cool, I'm pretty sure I just drank actual paint thinner," the dwarf says. "get me to a hospital."
humans and halflings are probably the most compatible drinkers of any two races, although halflings find most human wines, beers, ciders, etc, a little too dry and bland for their liking. halfling alternatives are very sweet, which makes them a huge hit among the 'I like alcohol but I don't want it to taste like alcohol' crowd
I think it would be very funny if being drunk was like... a relatively new cultural development for gnomes? there’s just something about their wacky gnomish constitution that prevented them coming by it naturally (traditionally they’re more into a variety of mushrooms and other recreational plants) but once they started mingling more with more alcohol-happy races they learned VERY quickly and started opening, basically, turbo-breweries that are basically one part distillery and one part wizard tower. VERY popular job for young alchemists trying to make some good money, and the reason why gnomes are known (among other things) for operating the craziest night clubs
here’s who I think should be able to get drunk but become sober at will:
1.) sufficiently powerful paladins and clerics
2.) aasimar [all of them]
2.) very very few tieflings. it’s not universal at all, but few tiefling traits are. I know 5e has really solidified them as horns + tails + inhuman skin color but we need to be making them weirder
I agree with every single part of this but especially that we all need to be doing our part to make tieflings weirder, and also please someone overnight me some halfling booze

Beyond this, consider how these professions might vary depending on who the customers are - nobles, or lower class. Are they good at their job or just scraping by? Do they work with lots of other people or on their own? City or village?
For younger characters:
Apprentice to any of the above
Messenger/runner
Page/squire
Pickpocket
Shop assistant
Student
Looks after younger siblings

Also consider:
Candlemaker Ferryman Factor (looks after business for an employer in another city) Tiler Cutler Beekeeper Apothecary Interpreter Furrier Moneylender/Banker Winemaker Tinker (small trader who repairs stuff) Nightsoil collector Customs officer Also a bonus for animal related professions: Fowler (supplies game birds for eating) Warrener (catches rabbits on your land for you to eat) Ostler (looks after your horses) Falconer (looks after your falcons) Cocker (looks after your fighting cocks)
I need more fantasy rpg in my life that isn’t d&d-style. I think it’s time for some Sword & Backpack.

Things to Consider When Writing About Royalty
How is the throne inherited? How strict are the traditions concerning transfers of power? How is the order of succession determined? Can commoners become royalty?
How are heirs trained?
How much, if at all, are marriages for power/political ties favored over marriages for love? How common are arranged marriages
What are the biggest threats to their position?
How good is there relationship with their subjects?
What is their preferred method of interacting with their subjects? Do they prefer to interact with them directly or indirectly?
How long has the monarchy been in power? How did it originally gain that power?
What special etiquette is required when dealing with royalty? How strict is it?
How are princes and/or princesses that aren’t first in line for the throne handled? Are they given special responsibilities in the hopes of discouraging resentment?
How do they deal with assassination attempts?
How do they spend their wealth? Why do they prioritize certain aspects of their kingdom’s well being over others?
Would they rather inspire love or fear in their subjects?
Well said, very worth thinking about if you have a Monarch

Opinel Knives had a free engraving day so I got my partner a little gift for being an excellent player and DM.

A reupload of literally, hands down, my favorite subclass I’ve ever made. Go forth and be spooky.
i want to write a monastic tradition inspired by the gumball machine ninjas at my supermarket. maybe with a table like the draconic bloodline sorcerer has.
I actually had a bunch of these as a kid, you could buy them in these little blister packs of six, and they were made of this really soft cheap rubber.
same except mine are in capsules
monastic tradition ideas:
-can cast tenser’s floating disc at will, to represent the lid of their acorn capsules
-can spend 2 ki points to cast shield, to represent their capsules’ globe
-can spend 2 ki points to cast enlarge/reduce (reduce option only)
-a table of 8 colors (black, blue, brown, green, orange, red, white, & yellow) to choose from, each with a unique benefit
-a feature like dragonborn’s breath weapon; its saving throw/shape/damage type determined by the colors
-table of 6 items to choose from (grappling hook, nunchaku, katana, sais, shuriken, & tantō) with benefits
-grappling hook, for example, makes climbing cost no extra movement
-something about them being rubbery/plasticine/flexible, like advantage on checks to escape grapples
This is a trick that golfers use to find the balance of their golf balls but we in the TTRPG community can employ it ourselves to test the probability of rolls in our dice.
The process is simple- make a salt and water solution with a high enough salinity that your d20 (or which ever die you want) can float freely and consistently. Then tap them down and let them float back to the top. You can get really deep in if you want and record and sample your results or you can just get a general idea.
The purple and grey die has always rolled really well for me and I was extremely excited to see that no matter what when I reset the float it would always return to the Nat 20. I floated the green die next to it for comparison, it didn’t really seem to favor one result over the other which means it’s a more well balanced die.
The reason that this test works is because there are occlusions in the dice them selves. Somewhere in the casting process not everything was emulsified enough or an air bubble was trapped which is enough to throw off their center of gravity. If you’re the type of player who wants to have a more random die generally transparent dice are better because it’s much easier to see occlusions in them before they go to market.
In dnd, resurrecting PCs becomes so easy at higher levels, and though I think that’s a positive, I really like the idea that dying has lasting consequences or triggers events in a PC. Here’s a simple table of interesting but hopefully not game breaking or character destroying ideas. Thoughts? Improvements?
What are your favorite “nontraditional” race/class combinations?
I’ll start- I love love love the idea of a Halfling Warlock and I just don’t see them played ever.
Have I mentioned my love for the warlock class? I love the way its set up mechanic wise, the flavor potential, and the spellcasting is evocative as heck!
Want to have a pact with a cosmic being that allows you to summon shooting stars when you cast eldritch blast?
Want to be the only mortal that can comprehend the madness of the great old ones?
Want to have an archfey that abducted you as a child to be the friend of their own child?
Want to have your soul sold to the lord of the hunt before your birth and have to pay the price for it by serving them?
Want to make a pact with a storm elemental that like a symbiote lives in your body disguised as your natural bioelectricity?
Want an ancient dragon to keeps you as part of its hoard and in exchange grants you a long life and its protection?
Want some sword you picked up whisper into your mind that you need to fight against those who oppress you?
Want the spirits of your ancestors to grant you great power to protect the current members of the bloodline?
Want Asamodeus to favor you because you remind them of a mortal they once loved many eons ago?
Want to be the only survivor of a shipwreck and then have the dead souls of your crewmates grant you access to the arcane and in exchange you take care of their unfinished business on the mortal plane?
Warlock! Warlock! Warlock!
Y'all REALLY like warlocks! In celebration here are some more warlock ideas!
Want a patron that is going into retirement and is training you to be its replacement?

what is it about capybaras that attracts groups of small animals to them? Its not just mammals either its like birds and turtles and frogs too
look at this shit
They radiate peace
capybaras are friend shaped
I love this post
This is actually a cool thing I know about!
In the wild capybaras live in large groups so naturally a female capybara will take care of not only her own offspring, but all of the other offspring in the group. So capybaras are super great mothers who will adopt pretty much anything and take care of it.
Lots of places that rescue different animals will give a group of baby animals to a capybara to raise if they have one.
Like puppies
Ducks
Deer
Emus
They are just super calm animals so they’re naturally great at mothering or just existing in a group!

Halfling wizard who’s familiar is a Capybara.
