I'll be happy just to have it back in print. Not every gaming group is comfortable running a game from PDFs.

No one at my gaming table has ever used Great Weapon Mastery or Sharpshooter. The -5 to hit has been too big a deterent.

The flying is no more disruptive than a player with boots of flying and there is always the risk of falling out of the sky during combat. Stone Giant hits you with boulder, and does enough damage to reduce you to zero hit points, make a death save. You fall 100 ft, would take 10d6 damage, so...

I think the current summoning spells completely gimped summoning. I would have kept it simple and let the summoned monsters CR total equal the spell level of the slot used to summon 1st level spell slot = 1 CR 1 monster, or two CR 1/2 monsters etc... Summons last 1 round per level of caster...

Played every edition of the game, love feats. In 5E we find it rare for a player to take more than one, since you have have to sacrifice the an ABI to get it. Not uncommon to have a character with no feats at all in 5E as well, but I like having the option.

Try not to get hung up on the names and semantics, those abilities are on par with cantrips. I would have prefered some enhanced ability to craft items, instead of a freebies myself, but that list of freebie items is very restictive. Utility items, that have little more effect on the game than...

This is worded differently than the other AC modifying abilities in 5E. First it mentions "base AC" and not just AC. Secondly, the last line implies you can use it with a shield. Thirdly, most AC determining methods include DEX mod. So is it ? AC = 13 + Con Mod AC = 13 + Con Mod + Shield Mod...

That is a valid point. The entire Artificer Spell list is rather lack luster. Animate Objects , Cloudkill , Cone of Cold, Creation, Hold Monster, Passwall, Planar Binding, Telekinesis, Teleportation Circle, Wall of Force, Wall of Stone would all be great additions. Teleportation Circle in...

If you are the DM, you can simply ignore the crits of low level monsters, or, better yet, apply a non damage based crit. Goblin crits level 1 PC ? Have the PC disarmed, or knocked down, instead of extra damage.

Instead of a flat 10 bonus HP have you considered giving them their Constitution score in bonus HP ? Their constitution determines their base HP. Any hit dice gained from classes represents fortitude the've aquired through determination and training.

I don't really watch anyones game sessions. Other than the one Matt Mercer did for Vin Diesel, I haven't been able to sit through an entire video of other people gaming. I pretty much just watch the Nerdarchy "DM" videos.

That has not been my experience. Light is fairly popular in my gaming group, for any spaellcaster without Darkvision/Devil's Sight.

I just don't get how they cast using intellegence, like a wizard, make items, like a wizard, and then inherently know spells without a spellbook, like a Sorcerer. I don't mind them having fewer and a lower maximum spell level than a true Wizard for game balance reasons, but I think they should...

I enjoy listening to Nerdarchy, more now in the last few months than I did earlier on in 5E. Their production values, especially their audio, and format gets better as they go along. It's obviously not scripted. It's just sitting around a table with gamers having discussions about various D&D...

It's kind of like the Rhino :p
