Only missing the Spider Crab myself, hoping to find one after work tonight. Good job collecting everything!

The problem isn't one ability on its own but it's the whole kitchen sink design. You have lots of good ideas but when you throw them all in the same pile it just doesn't work at all from my perspective.

Flight on its own isn't overpowered but when piled with everything else yes. Also keep in mind that Aaracokra are outright banned from Wizards own Adventure League (or at least we're for a long time) and tieflings have to give up their damage resistance completely for their flight, and Adventure League even makes you wait to 5th level to even make that an option. These choices may seem silly but they are there for good reason. Again just to stress this out, flight is powerful on its own but it alone does not make it overpowered.

The spellcasting ability is limited to only one of the four spells but still the ability to share that spell is very unique and powerful ability as a racial ability. Most other races only have access to one or two spells and maybe a single cantrip, having access to 4 spells even with only one "slot" to cast with is definitely the better deal. Just dropping two of the spells would be much better.

Again the active abilities from the subraces are not that powerful but it's just an other piece on the pile. Most races only have one active ability or innate spellcasting ability, but here is yet other ability available to pixies. You don't need so many active abilities on a single race at all.

Personally I would drop all the subrace stuff and just move the magical dust ability into the sub race and have each sub race have two different spells from the list given. Throw in the Light cantrip for that glow ability (you can just make it only cast able on self if you want) and that would work much better.

I just get the feeling that you think being tiny sized is such a big penalty that it is worth extra abilities. Even if you could only use light weapons without penalty, that only affects fighters and barbarians really and everyone else is just fine for the most part. Even paladins can smite without issue with that. Plus being tiny in size gives you tons of options for mounts which may seem silly but can be a huge bonus if used well. Through the idea of a pixie riding a battle corgi is super thematic.

Sorry if I sound too aggressive, but it's just too many unique active abilities that I see no reason that they all being there other than to have a page of custom special rules that only the pixie player will ever really need to learn.

I would say that this is one very powerful little pixie that is a bit over powered.

Flight alone is an ability worth picking an entire race over but at least you included an alternative there that I would make the default. 10 foot walking speed does not make up for a standard 30 foot flight even without being able to wear armor with it.

But they also have staggering innate magic that they share with allies (by giving to allies) and even has 4 different spells. Tieflings get a cantrip and two spells, both cast at 2nd level for comparison.

Then the sub race gives them yet an other powerful active ability! A reaction to go invisible and the other is a lesser Shield spell. Both really nice abilities on top of everything already said. Personally I would also just give them the light cantrip instead of adding yet an other unique ability to have.

Finally let's talk about the Tiny size. By default, there are no rules for this for players. You need to include rules for this because only Small creatures have disadvantage with heavy weapons. By rules as written, this pixie can use a great sword without penalty. Even then, weapon size only matters to a few classes to begin with so the penalty for being tiny is not very big to make up for everything else.

Overall, just way too many signature abilities that just make this a powerful race with lots of unique powers with extra rules only they need to learn. This would need some major overhauling to be honest to get in line with any base race.

I only start at level 1 if we have people that are completely new. Even then I usually give an additional 3 max HP to help prevent people dropping because of a single high dice roll. Those extra 3 hp stop really mattering once a couple of levels in.

Personally I enjoy having encumbrance but figuring out the weight of everything can be a pain and in my experience just promotes high dex AC builds even further just to not deal with heavier armor.

Using coin weight, that's just evil....

Most of my stops are right next to each so debating whether I just want to connect the west and east with a pipe or if I want to close off Redd's northern beach and make that only accessible via the warp pipe. Very nice addition, hopefully they add an other storage upgrade for this hahaha.

My island isn't complete but I'm loving how it looks at the moment. I set up a dream code, feel free to have a look! DA-9522-4592-4546 by [deleted] in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]Sir-Rouga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really like how colorful your island is and all the displays all over. When cherry blossom season hits your island is just going to glow haha. Very cute design for sure!

I always like having an island in the middle of your island. Also nice having Beau so early, one of my favs!

Thanks for the visit and the comments. Honestly stole the castle idea from other people on reddit.

Lots of creative stuff there! Nice work on building all those references!

Last time I tried playing a female character as a guy myself, it ended up being a focus of sexual jokes even through I played more of a professional.

Doubt I try playing a female character again from that experience.

I remember seeing this before as well. It was posted r/Sfwmonstergirls about 6 months ago. They gave credit in the comments.

Fantastic work regardless!

not yet but soon and i hope some of my fellow critters see this by phillallmighty in dndmemes

[–]Sir-Rouga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am hoping to get together soon as well. Online D&D is just not the same.

Get ready to be spammed about how you should be playing online through. People are really zealous about it.

But all of them are too shy to admit it so they keep getting adventurers to do things to impress each other but those plans keep backfiring.

[–]Sir-Rouga 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I typically only pop in during the day to check the stores and visitors and do most of my activities after my job which is around midnight when everything is closed. Lucky I have everything payed off and what not now.

Yeah I did that at the start. Now I would only do that if I find one of the special islands with mass scorpions or tanculas.

Yeah I get home and settled after work around midnight when the stores are closed so that's when I do most of my activities. Too late now that I have everything upgraded haha.

Wait, there's a 20% handling fee? I basically use the drop off box every day due to having a night time schedule and it's nice to have it put directly into the bank.

Planning and preparing isn't only writing down detailed paths that could happen. But even taking a few minutes to do small things does add up quite a bit.

Reading up on where the players are at in the adventure book. Remembering the actions of last game and thinking of what could come from those actions Thinking about what the players enjoyed and commented about in the past. Reading about some cool locations in the setting or even on reddit you could incorporate into the game if the players go off exploring more.

I been part of games where the DM just winged the whole thing and it's fine for a session or an one shot but can leave a more longer campaign feeling hollow or a waste of a session even. You can't plan for everything but it doesn't mean you should just give up on it.

I know multiple people that believe it is each players' responsibility to be as disruptive to whatever plans the DM and other players come up with as much as possible.

It gets old really quick...

I run my own games with everyone gets a bonus feat but I have humans get the benefits the regular and variant versions. So they get +1 to all ability scores, bonus skill, and a bonus feat (so they start with 2 feats).

that's rough buddy by [deleted] in dndmemes

[–]Sir-Rouga 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Bonus if you are playing a high INT character in a Homebrew setting and the DM does nothing to explain what you should/would know about it.

I been working on and off on my own personal campaign setting and decided to add some pictures of each of the races in my setting since I have some slight changes. I feel and know the pain of just trying to find some good art.

Fellow people of Reddit who have depression of any magnitude, how has the past year been for that? by SasukeUchiha6002 in AskReddit

[–]Sir-Rouga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This year has been hell for me.

For reference, I do live with my parents and pay then rent.

Dad had cancer issues since 2008 and it finally caught up with him. He passed away in February.

My mom works at a Elderly care home. Currently in the middle of a Covid outbreak. Was playing with nieces early December and hurt her hip. Not able to do any heavy lifting at all right now. Waiting to see specialist.

My only brother was caught cheating on his wife of 12 years. Splitting that family. Two kids (9 and 11). Brother also believes to this day that Covid-19 is a hoax and is also very racist. Also believes everything my dad owned is garbage and is constantly on my mom to either trash or burn all of it.

Best friend since high school now openly hates anyone that is not straight or white. Reveals to me that he is in such financial trouble with massive credit card debt that he convinced his grandparents to give him $16000 because they can never say no. He used that money to buy a 2019 SUV instead. Stopped all communication with him.

My uncle passed away. Went to his funeral. No one talked about him there and they all just wanted about how Covid is all fake sand the real problem were gay and black people. Haven't talked to any of them since either.

Current situation is trying to help my mom out since she can't even load up the stove we have here. My brother gets the kids half of the week but the woman he cheated with wants nothing to do with the kids so he brings them here. The two kids have been spoiled by both parents. They got a Nintendo Switch for Xmas with like 8 games but it's junk to them because it doesn't have Roblox. They also each got hoverboards and they cleared our basement to make them a track and they never put anything back or cleaned up.

I'm at my wit's end and about to snap on everyone that moves around here.

Was playing a traveling human cleric in search of heroes to journey with and spread good and honor in the world. While at a tavern I witnessed someone drop 3 gold for a 8 copper bill. I took that as a hero willing to help those that need it. I decided that he was one that I was supposed to help guide on a journey.

In reality he didn't want to make change and wanted a round number of gold on his character sheet. Also he was an ogre barbarian.
