Then what do you see as the big difference? Or did you want more than a few tweaks? They are getting access to many more things. Wand of Viscid Glob is not a spell they could normally cast, and now can. Or is the main complaint that other people can get boots of the winding path now? I...

I don't know why you think paper lacks creative uses and narrative potential... But if your party has infinite money, time, and on-demand access to any shop item, then yes. This would be a redundant. But I'll be creativly using my summoned rope to hold something up, walk away, then going to...

This part was messed up in the UA and needed fixed. Definitely should be able to make your Armorer weapon magical. I give it a 70% chance it was fixed, but I'll haven't seen it yet.

It's similar. You expend your wand of magic missile, and then change it to wand of Web. Count it as half an extra item if you want, but it's still more. Again, there are more possibilities. You have all the old ones, plus huge slew of other magic items. I don't think making something glow 5'...

2024 is the 2014 with some quality of life tweaks. They did. Every magic item, up to rare, is now an "infusion". Including all the 2014 ones, and wands, which let you cast spells you normally couldn't. They did, indirectly. Level 6 gets a new features that let you move item charges, slots...

Best as i can tell from the preview, Forge just gets a few more things. Mainly they added Charge and Transmute Magic Item at 6 for instance. Which will greatly improve flexibility. And recovering Flash of Genius at 14. Could debate if the level 20 feature is better or worse, but I've never...

I don't understand how you activate the level 3 options. Does the magic damage stack with Hunter's Mark? I.e. 1d6+1d8 each attack? Is it once when you hit? Also. I would just use Detect Thoughts. Level 3 You learn the Detect Thoughts spell. In addition, you can expend a use of your...

The changes i see vs the UA. 6: Charge Magic Item: Restore charges in an item by spending a spell slot. -new Transmute Magic Item: Swap one replicated item for another plan you know. -new 11: Spell Storing Item can use Material component that are consumed. -expected clarification. Not sure...

Disagree. Shield, Mirror Image, Blurr, ect... don't care what your casting stats is. And you don't have the slots levels to be worth casting damage spells. So those don't matter. Which means your getting a much better saving throw at the cost of the occasional casting of a control spell like...

I guess a better comparison would be. EK7/Bladesinger 6 (2x Truestrike + Action Surge + Weapon Mastery) Vs Bladelock (archfey?) 7/Valor 6 (3x Eldritch Blast + Attack + Bardic Dice).

Fair. But i don't know if starting fighter really counts as a "Bladesinger" so much as a martial with cantrips. If your going defense, dip Barbarian 1 for +2 or 3 AC. And you can still start battles with fireball + rage, and use slots on Bladesinger 10.

I'd go with Valor 6, BS 6 instead. More spell slots. And if you hit Valor 10, you can add Smites for serious damage.

If your not spamming Alarm, Unseen Servant, and Tensors Floatig Disk as a wizard, you're missing out as a wizard. As well as Leomunds Tiny Hut and Phantom Steed at level 5. As for Bladesingers, seems fine. I expect it will mostly be used in multiclassing with a Martial character.

That's a possibility as well. Canceling disadvantage is similar to a reroll. Not sure it will come up that often though. Also, while EB spam is the go to, nothing stops you from tossing a Hypnotic Pattern or Fly as needed. Action Surge does seem a bit wasted...

Banneret is still 90% fighter, with a splash of warlord. The only way to make a fighter subclass that is close to a warlord is if you could trade your attacks to give allies a bonus. I.e. Level 3: When you would make a weapon attack, you can forgo one of them boost your allies. Choose one of...
