This site is pretty helpful, but some of the other things you'll need to go to other places for. so basically google "d&d 5e [whatever you need]" like i've been doing
I can't believe how many races there are for pony characters on that site. There's more ponies than non-ponies O_o

what the actual fuck is this shit

A Third-Party-Publisher race. If it helps, there is a rework of the Pathfinder system that runs along a similar theme. Probably because it is the same publisher.

I still find it kind of funny that Paizo sells 3pp products for their own game. Which in itself started as 3pp to D&D 3.5ed.

I can't believe how OP the Unicorns are. Advantage on a Skill, replacing Str with Int and a threatened area of 30 feet?
But that said, that Gearforged race has some awesome flavor. Different publisher, though.

I found their website. They're selling a pony-campaign setting for $40.
I have no words.

There's a 5e wiki that seems legal.

If you can't have your special-snowflake fetish content be overpowered why have it at all, amirite? Probably for the best that they gave that INT->STR and 30' threatened area (on a Medium creature? ahahahahahahahahahaha) to something so widely reviled, else it'd have to percolate onto every DM's ban list over the course of the next few years.

Yeah, it's like... that was a major class feature for the Swashbuckler (and one of the things that helped make it viable... as part of a single tier 3-4 multiclass build) when it was only INT->STR for bonus damage, only with finesse weapons, only against things not immune to precision damage,  only when wearing light armor, and only when carrying a light load or less. And they just tack it on to a race with a bunch of other heavy advantages without any apparent drawbacks. Fuckin' obsessive fanboys.

Ahahajesush, I read the rest of the page.

In addition to already listed stuff, let's count it off:

Free +1 CON
Base speed 40ft
150% carry weight
Advantage on rolls to avoid falling prone
Free language

OH LOOK THEY'RE TREATED AS SMALL FOR WIELDING WEAPONS, WHAT A DRAWBACK  ::)

At least only that one sub-race is stupid. By the by it also eliminates the one downside to this pile of shit.

Oh, and the 30' isn't just your threatened area . That's also the range for your free unlimited telekinesis. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

From what I see, there's no reason you can't make a Attack of Opportunity from that range. Sure, the distinction between "Reach and the Telekinesis is there, but it could be made to work.

Here's a random thought I've had. I think that for the purposes of critical hit confirmation rolls the size modifiers to attack roll and ac should be inverted; the negative ones should be positive and the positive ones should be negative. So a very small creature would have trouble confirming a critical on a very large creature but a very large creature would have a quite easy time confirming a critical against that very small creature.

My reasoning is this, a smaller creature is going to be hacking at a larger creature's shins, they're going to have trouble reaching any vital organ (with the possible exception of the femoral artery if the opponent has one of those). Meanwhile, a large creature wielding a weapon larger than it's opponent is going to come close to hitting all the vital organs every time it lands a blow.


-------------------------------

I'm just walking into this thread right now to ask if anyone has any upcoming pathfinder games I could join.

I'm feeling somewhat deprived right now, having not played it for a good long period.
Where are you at? I don't have any upcoming games but I know yhere's at ;east one other person in my area whose looking for a game, so if you turned out to be in the same area as me and him we'd only need one or two more people to have enough.
Is said friend in the UK to start off with? If not, then it's no bueno.

Nope

That'd make a solid houserule, I think. It'd certainly help offset the "lol strongheart halfling" trend. It's never made sense to me why a shin-kicker with a knitting needle-sized rapier would be more likely to hit an organ or whatever than a dude the size of a car with a sword the size of a slightly smaller car. Apart from trying to keep two sorta-viable monodimensional builds for martial combatants firmly separated.
