If you’re looking for a “simple” way to fix Rogues, just give them Extra Attack at 5th level and then allow SA to work for their second attack as well.

I feel like it should be pronounced Eye Ooze for the grossness factor.

So the S stands for “Super Ultra Mega Happy” tier? 🤔

Ooo, this is the point I finally get to climb up onto my old-man soapbox and rant about this idiotic ranking system. I don’t know what genius decided to create a system that starts with S and then goes to A-D, but I wish them a lifetime of natural 1s. The alphabet is already conveniently...

Mikes are fine. As long as it’s not a Todd* *a joke for those who watched the Eldritch Lorecast this week.

Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount had 4 beginner adventures for level 1-3 that are well regarded. Of the 4, Tide of Retribution has the party defending Palma Flora from a Sahuagin invasion. You’d just need to reskin it for another small coastal village if you aren’t interested in Exandria as a...

I’m liking C4 more than i thought I would. The Soldiers table is as much fun as i thought it would be. The Seekers table drew me in more than i anticipated. But this Schemers table - I feel like it’s going to be a tough one. I like Marisha’s and Taliesin’s characters, but I dread watching...

I would consider it the opposite. The Warlock’s save DC is general because it is for ANY saving throw the familiar forces. The net, OTOH, has a DC that is specific to using that particular item.

I haven’t tried it yet because I’m at work. Does it allow you to choose the order in which you build your character? One change they made in 5.5e is that, because they found people tend to pick their class first, their character-building instructions (both in the book and on D&D Beyond) have...

I agree about the save. Specific beats general, and in this case, the net is listed with a specific DC.

It certainly wouldn’t be the only class that was “too close” to other classes. One could make the argument that a Paladin should be a subclass of the Fighter or Cleric. Or that the Ranger should be a subclass of the Fighter or Druid. And yet, we have them both as individual classes, so I...

I would still prefer it if they used clearly defined words rather than vague numbers, letters, or colors. Something simple like: I love it. Don’t change a thing. I like it, but it needs a small tweak. I don’t really care either way. I just want to continue on to the next question. I don’t...

I listened to Mastering Dungeons this morning and those same two guys were on their show. Oddly enough Shawn Merwin was absent from Lorecast during this interview; I wonder if it was because they were going to be on his and Teos’ podcast and he didn’t want it to be repetitive.

That’s how it starts. Then, the next thing you know, all the mounts are banding together to form a union.

I can’t say I’ve ever struggled with this distinction. As I understand it, Clerics and Paladins worship Gods/Deities. Warlocks make a pact with powerful beings that aren’t quite a Gods/Deities. It’s more like the mafia: you make a bargain to gain something on your end, with the understanding...
