Here are some bad ideas: 5th Edition, 12th printing. 5th Edition 2. Dungeons and Dragons. (no numbers or anything) 5th Edition, "5E" 5th Edition, Forgotten Realms Edition. 2e + 3. +1 5th Edition. 5th Edition featuring Dante from Devil May Cry.

Hmm. Perhaps something to encourage that? A +2 to AC until next turn on any disengage/dash action.

Their military equivalent - a scout - was either alone or in a small group to avoid detection. So, most fictional parallels would be the same.

The Fremen from Dune are rangers by all definitions. They even have favored enemies: Harkonnens. Link is basically a ranger in the most recent Zelda games.

Ignoring the non-debate about intimidation. This is a cool subclass 17 is really late for a second attack, but two sneak attacks makes it worth it. I'd even drop the rule about it being multiple targets to sweeten the pot. Something you might not have considered - by making the rogue a bit...

I'm into it. I've never had a healing discussion with my players, and don't totally understand the "issue" people are trying to avoid on this forum. I like these sorts of penalties for crits, though, or for wounds depending on the scenario. How would you introduce this at level 1, when most...

Looking back on my post, it seems a bit curt - I forgot to mention that I like the idea of a knight class, more closely tied to heavy armor and being a good guy. I think there's space for it in DnD (for those opposed, think Warlock between Wizard and Sorceror). I think Mercer's old gunslinger...

Depends on the conditions of the fight, but yeah, generally I'd give the player a reward for doing cool naughty word.

Also, Monks use every part of their turn already (action, movement, bonus action), so there's little space to add feats. A monk with an Eldritch Invocation can make a huge difference. Shadow Monk and Devil's Sight? Come on!

I'd recommend Knights also regain Vow after a long rest, perhaps flavored like a Wizard's preparations, the Knight renews the vow as part of their morning routines. Foot Knight's shoulder charge is a Wisdom save. That seems odd. I'd suggest Strength if anything. Likewise, the Knight being a...

Ran a game for 2 before: houserule was that 0hp but stable means defeated and out of the fight, but can move, carry, and do skills at disadvantage. (The other PC was a gnome and couldn't reasonably be dragging a half-orc fighter around) Ran a game for 1: Basically no rules changed. They...

Getting an extra eldritch invocation would be really nice. It's also a good way for humans to get Devil's sight at first level. I quite like all of these. They seem mostly strong, and cater to lots of character builds.

The Pen is mighter than the Sword... Pact of the Quill, to me, sounds like sharp whit and skill. Bard, basically - emphasizing the charisma of Warlocks. The quill might give expertise, or something. Not a literal quill, but the idea of mind over muscle.

Looking for party synergies, not one character, but this thread is valuable in its insights as well.

Rezzing because it's a good thread. Does anyone have ideas for this around 5th level? Simple synergies from my play experience: Area of effect spell casters + Totem Bear Barbarian with Evasion Barbarian takes quarter or eighth damage, enemies not so lucky. Barbarian 5 and Fighter 5 (well, 2...
