They'll be the next article.<br /><br />Dimension door being a 4th level spell does make me reticent to make it available to them earlier than it would be to an equivalent wizard, but I'll consider it. The racial feat may be a way to handle the Cerilian Dwarf too; give them standard mountain dwarf stats and let them feat into the damage reduction.Marsupialmancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783580491548501604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434106861389890399.post-1100605557291216242015-05-21T17:34:16.881-07:002015-05-21T17:34:16.881-07:00So... got plans for the humans?

Basically, humans are tofu"?<br /><br />On halflings, I might think about knocking dimension door down to 5th level (can we really say it breaks anything if they get ONE dimension door per long rest at 5th?), and add in a feat to give them any higher Shadow Realm travel powers, like Arcane Gate or Plane Shift, once per week or domain turn or whatever at some obnoxiously high level. (The precedent for racial feats is in the Elemental Evil writeup of the svirfneblin.)<br /><br />I'm super happy that even having only arcane magic doesn't stop elves from having access to healing magic in 5e. Back in 2e, if you saw that those dudes over there got healing magic from the gods and were wrecking your whole race, I feel like you'd go GET some gods, rather than just pressing on with your strategy of unmitigated disaster.<br /><br />Your dwarves look good to me. The only alternate I would suggest is reducing bludgeoning damage by a variable (say, a d4) rather than a flat value, but that's my personal taste.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333781524640845035noreply@blogger.com
