@matszwecja Other answers saying the same thing as yours but providing more useful info, by comparison, makes yours not very useful. "Not causing harm" is the bare minimum; it doesn't make an answer immune to downvotes. (Causing harm would probably be a reason for deletion, rather than just downvotes.) Anyway, that's why I downvoted your answer; of course, you can always edit the answer to improve it if you like.

Q: Are the powers of a Divine Soul sorcerer at the mercy of his deity's will?

Alan RégisThe Divine Soul sorcerous origin in Xanathar's Guide to Everything description states: Sometimes the spark of magic that fuels a sorcerer comes from a divine source that glimmers within the soul. Having such a blessed soul is a sign that your innate magic might come from a distant but powerful f...

Q: Did AD&D players use Leomund's Tiny Hut to keep out enemies?

RedGeomancerBrandes Stoddard has a fun article called Leomund's Tiny Problem, where he discusses ways in which Leomund's Tiny Hut is "highly exploitable" in D&D 5e, and offers suggestions on how to fix it. The article provides an interesting history of the way the spell has evolved since AD&D. He writes that...

Q: Does the save throw DC calculation from the Superior Technique fighting style override the Battle Master fighter's saving throw DC?

Steven MillerAs the title says, I am trying to determine if the saving throw DC calculation from Superior Technique overrides the calculation from Battle Master, thus eliminating the STR or DEX choice. You learn one maneuver of your choice from among those available to the Battle Master archetype. If a maneu...

Hmmm, someone should make a race that does not get a stat increase...

@Someone_Evil That's a good one! Just was wondering, if a race without a stat increase might be viable... or one that literally says "Age: The race does not age, get born, or dies of natural causes. All members begin existing considered adults."
Though technically, that's not a species but an object :imp:

System of interest in this case?
I ask to double check in part because stat increase and age aren't innately linked in my mind, so it seems like there are some other ideas at play here (it things might get confusing without clarification)

If you're interested in races without stat increases, may I interest you in: [gestures broadly at RPGs]
[just not that one RPG or the RPGs imitating it]

hehe, yea, I gotcha! Just was pondering idly why every 5e homebrew race comes with the standard +2/+1 array.
 
Someone_Evil

@Trish Because that's the template for what (most) cannon 5e races has as an increment
 
Trish
Trish
just like most races get some kind of age
 
Someone_Evil
Someone_Evil
I think all get that, alongside a bunch of other things. (FWIW the most is because some options have an increment that isn't +2/+1)
But sure, you can make a chthonic (and non-ageing) option without trouble. Making an option without any increment is a harder design challenge given the patterns in that system
Wait, was chthonic not the word I was looking for? I thought there was some kind of term for born-from-nothing in greek myth but it doesn't seem to be exactly that one

@Trish Bears. Honey Heist.
All bears start out with the same stats. The stats change based on the story and the actions of said bear.

That's to allow auto-updateing cross network. Or rather to have it not auto-override other edits

Q: Which regions have access to Inventors?

AndrásI want to use Gadgets, but they are uncommon. Inventors and regions with access to Inventors have access to uncommon gadgets. So I check access to Inventors, where the only mention of access is about PFS: All Pathfinder Society agents have access to the Inventor class. So which region do I have...

Obligatory reminder that you do not need CC or the OGL to publish your D&D material. You already have all the rights it'd give you, and it solely functions to take away rights you already had. The sole exception is if you need to quote SRD material word-for-word.

It is worth noting that while strictly speaking you probably don't need any license to publish non-quoting D&D material, the weight of the OGL has always been the threat of getting slapped with a passel of Hasbro's lawyers so hard you go bankrupt defending yourself, not actually losing the lawsuit.
Going CC-BY on technically non-copyrightable material is still "give us credit or else."
