Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.

I was gonna say the same things as you and everyone above. I didn't use any custom races or classes though.
ReplyDelete5e toons might steamroll the module. Perhaps doubling HP/HD/damage-dice might make sense for the monsters.
Reskinned Warlock actually seems pretty accurate. Pact of SCIENCE!
