The ghost knight gallops round the moat every night still
Though death came for him ninety years ago, gnawing with dread disease
He struggled through a mere handful of days, ill
Ere he fell dead, the castle’s lady ghosts to please— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 9, 2019
Is the symbol for House Cannith a dragon or a bull? 🤔#dnd #eberron #housecannith #dungeonsanddragons @HellcowKeith

So why do the emblem of the house is a mechanical bull?
— Hyena Play Games (@O_ot4ku) August 31, 2019
It’s not mechanical; the gorgon is a bull-like creature with iron scales. All of the houses use magical beasts in their heraldry; Cannith felt that the bull-like aspect of the gorgon reflects industrial might, and the iron hide reflects their knack for metalwork.

Under the WGtE rules, an aberrant dragonmark is a feat.

Her darkest armor she now doth wear
Of olden style, and of blazon bare
As she trudges forth, sword in hand, to die
By night she’ll lie cold, staring unseeing at the sky
Her banner to flutter brave no more in battlefield air— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 8, 2019

The dead came for him, and he awoke
And snatched up sword them to defy
But they had come to watch him die
And cold and grim
Strangled him
They watched and watched, but never spoke— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 9, 2019
The main issue with making monstrous D&D character species is the desire to front-load things from the monster entry at low levels. It isn't necessary. Each player character can become a unique individual that rivals the monster version in cool ways.
— Cris P. Skins (@ChrisSSims) September 28, 2019
While true, not every monster entry needs to be made available as a playable race. Haven’t we learned the lesson of 3e? Do you think that was the lesson to be learned from 3e?
— Dan Dillon 👥 (@Dan_Dillon_1) September 28, 2019
Mmm, I think you and Chris are essentially saying the same thing. Playing a Minotaur PC for instance, doesn’t mean you have to do as much damage per hit as the Minotaur monster stat block.
Yes, LA/ECL and monster classes were awkward systems at best. Level adjustments were an attempt to let you play the verbatim block. That’s a trap.
— Dan Dillon 👥 (@Dan_Dillon_1) September 28, 2019
The feeling is what matters most of the time, and you can get that by starting out manageable and without ending up at the same place a monster stat block does.
