IMO Constitution is the most overrated ability but players tend to want it over others in general and the talking heads online with the optimizer builds always stress it. On most players I've seen other than me it is typically the 2nd highest or 3rd highest stat. For me on point buy it is...

Looks like I have a 3 Intelligence .... unless I am a Wizard and then it is a 3 Charisma.

I played Drakenhiem (Goblin Enchantment Wizard named Lyza), Moonshea Adventures (Halfling Bladesinger named Joy), Descent into Avernus (Shaddar Kai who died, and an Eladrin Glamour Bard named Janet), Lairs of Etharis (Drow Eldritch Knight/Warlock, can't remember her name), Storm King's Thunder...

I am playing my first Aasimar right now, 2024 version with the Cult of the Dragon Origin Feat. We are level 4 currently. 1. The Healing Hands is near useless. 2. Celestial Revolution is ok. I used Heavenly wings once, Necrotic Shroud once and the Radiant one once so far. The Heavenly wings...

Both of those campaigns are online, but I am not the DM and it is not my discord channel so I can't agree to that. Some of the old 2014 campaigns I played have been posted to Youtube though. I think some of them are recorded end-to-end so you could watch them...

I don't think this is why. Fighters in 2024 can do way more than Monks or Barbarians and more than Rogues at many levels. With tactical mind, the 2024 Fighter is generally the best skill Monkey in the game from level 2-6 and they remain the best for very difficult checks even after that...

Sure, but that is not specific to Wizards and I have not argued Wizards should be better than other full casters. Because Rangers, Rogues, Barbarians and in 2014 Monks are all substantially weaker than fighters at most levels and they don't generate the same Vitriol for being less powerful...

Actually it is four 1-20 games, but we did not finish them all yet. I forgot the MCDM Lairs of Etharis campaign we played, but 2 of them are not complete yet. So to be specific two 1-20 campaigns, one 1-13 and one 2-10 campaign completed. two 1-20 campaigns ongoing. Those two groups play...

I am currently playing 5 weekly campaigns (although 1 is a 2014 campaign and in another I am DM). I have only missed one of the 2024 games in the last year (due to a delayed flight out of DC). Those two groups have done 5 campaigns using 2024 rules, 4 that are 1-20 (including two ongoing), 1...

Some of them are only 1 session, or in the case of the Barbarian like around 25 minutes of play time. Those are also only the 2024 classes though, I am still playing a couple regular 2014 games as well.

I don't know about all that. The "Wizard supremacists" as it were seem to be pretty content, passive and peaceful to me. It is those insisting that Fighters are more powerful that seem to be the most "angry" among the virulent and vocal posters when it comes to class warfare. Oddly enough, as...

So this is what class you've played the most since 2024 rules were published, using the 2024 version of the class. I included Artificer, but that has only been out a few weeks and playing the old Artificer doesn't count. It is also only what you have played personally, not what you have seen...

All Rangers are decent at melee, they just are not good at it. I don't think a single class Ranger will ever be good at most levels past level 4 compared to other classes that get extra attack. I think if you want them to be good you need to multiclass them. Dipping Paladin, taking lots of...

For me the main problem with 4E was the balance. There were different classes, but to me they all felt almost the same. While all versions have their problems 4E was the only version of D&D that did not really even feel like D&D to me.

I think in the case of Warlock it is because the first try was overwhelmingly negative, similar to making every mechanic a spell with Wizard. I think that is why they gave up on it. Not sure about Sorcerer. I think the things they tried to "save" were things that were more popular .... or at...
