/5eg/ Fifth Edition General

Thoughts on a variant human that helps to give humans a stronger racial identify as something along the lines of Federation humans? That we survive by coming together, a level of faith in the community that seems baffling to non-dwarven races, and some of the best diplomats and leaders due to this ability to place faith in friends and strangers.

>+2 Cha, +1 Int
>Can take the Help action as a bonus action on your turn
>Proficiency in Insight and Persuasion
>Advantage on saving throws against being Charmed

okay but are all the humans of that subrace actually going to act like that
because if you introduce Federation humans i'd expect to see a Federation

>Can take the Help action as a bonus action on your turn
Try not to copy class features (in this case, the Mastermind Rogue's main feature) for racials.

>I've found that a lot of people who dislike the alignment system are also the types who don't think there could possibly be people like the Joker or real-world psychopaths.

Which confuses me because there verifiably are. Son of Sam much?

I wonder if these people are the same reason why I'm not getting a Sinister Six movie. and Amazing Spider-Man 3 movie. One of the reasons ASM 2 failed (despite making shit-tons of money) was that people complained about Electro's character. Specifically that they didn't feel there was a "reason" for Electro to become evil.

They seem to have completely missed all of his establishing character moments heavily emphasizing that the guy was honestly mentally disturbed. I *loved* Electro as a villain because he feels like the first time Hollywood gave us a "crazy" villain that was shown to be genuinely crazy and have genuine mental health problems.

...

...damnit I wanted a Sinister Six movie...

No no, I don't want to That Guy. I just want the best class/race for stats because my DM is just random punishing.

The character will be well built with good RP and story. It's just for the stats part.

Do all shields give a flat +2 AC? It seems kind of weird that a wooden buckler offers the same protection as a metal tower shield

>Do all shields give a flat +2 AC?
Yes, unless they're magical.

aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

Technically not a direct copy, as the Mastermind gets an expanded range on the Help.

Actually, they are. The subrace is more or less for the agrarian state of theocratic farmers that were recently anal-reamed by the ruthless arcanists next door. The large majority of them were 'relocated' by said arcanists in the wake of conquering their state in order to help diminish the chance of a rebellion, and these resettled individuals ended up in more or less unspoiled lands to the West where they managed to end up negotiating a new federation between themselves and some of the more peaceful elven tribes. So I guess Wild West Federation is pretty fitting way of describing them.

Yup. Used to, you had your +1 Bucklers, various other shields, with Tower Shields requiring proficiency, but 5E just lumped them all together. Besides, aside from description, why would you ever take an option that is simply worse than the alternative?
