D&D 5E Discussion

[Old One]

You mean LizardX?

 

[Caim]

Person of lizard.

 

[mediocrepoet]

Person of lizard.

Person of lizard descent. Get it together, shitlord.

 

[JamesDixon]

I'll just call them Liggers then...

 

[deuxhero]

Person of lizard.

Person of Scales, which includes those formerly known as lizardmen, kobold, spellscale, half-dragons, etc.

 

[JamesDixon]

Are we still talking about Liggers?

 

[Rean]

Yeah, I like liggers. Gonna start using it.

 

[Rean]

If you don't think an orc and a gnome

Things went awry decades ago, not just now.
Neither one of those should be an allowed race for PCs or, perhaps, not even present in the world at all.

Get fucking redpilled.

 

[JamesDixon]

Shall we devise a naming scheme for the individual types of Liggers or are all reptile races Liggers?

What, a world with no orcs? But I like mowing down the evil, ill-tempered pig-people and taking their money and stuff.

Gnomes, meh, nobody cares.

New arcana with "new", bizarre races.

 

[deuxhero]

And to anyone hoping the exact wording on the height/weight thing a few pages back would be less retarded, NOPE! It's exactly the wording used in the preview with no mention of mechanical size.

 

[Reinhardt]

At least xaurips are safe.

Phenotype, bois, phenotype.

 

[catfood]

Thac0 the clown

Reminds me of when Sir Tech added that Cleve easter egg in JA2.

 

[Dux]

This is such a random thought but I've been wondering lately about summons in D&D. Bear in mind I've never played the game myself.

How exactly do they work? When a mage summons a monster or an animal - where does that creature come from? Does it just materialise? Does it come from another plane or do mages and druids literally pluck creatures from another part of the world to use them in fights?

Well the way it's presented is that for extra planar creatures they come from their home plane. For prime material plane they're teleported in.

Last option

 

[Alex]

I knew D&D was dead when they changed Lizardmen to Lizardfolk.

I knew D&D was dead when they removed THAC0.

They're unable to distinguish Fantasy's misuse of "race" (actually meaning species) with real world "race".

Yeah, sure, maybe, if we were still talking about racial alignments. But now we're talking about lifespans and heights. You're telling me that height is not one of the most important features of a dwarf, or a halfling?

Cis-racials are keeping trans-dwarves down.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

reminder that gatekeeping is a good thing

Which is actually the same shit, since the planar creatures also have a world of their own and day-to-day habits like any other. The real question is why da fuck the creature helps the magician instead of getting shocked by the sudden change in environment or simply running away.

D&D is a game where the less you think about it, the better it becomes. Start pricking at the seams and it falls apart.
