Surely it’s obvious there are going to be some that don’t overlap. Why would you expect them all to. It’s a feat. But everyone of them has at least some that do overlap for folks that are pushing for 18 stat. Remember it’s not a given that players take the advanced background feat at 4th level...

I actually will be starting my sandbox Dalelands campaign the same way Blood of Elves starts… The PCs and five or six other travelers from different dales, classes, organizations and races swapping stories at a crossroads campsites. Sharing news of the dales from all directions. Possibly some...

Bladesinger still needs one hand free to cast Somantic components though right? Until they get Warcaster.

I would think most spells an Eldritch Onight would cast in combat don’t have Material Components. Or at least there are enough that the EL shouldn’t suffer.

Andrzej Sapkowski is a great writer and world builder. He created places, political structures, rules for magic, gods, temples, mythology, bestiary and a pretty extensive timeline. Sure it was expanded by the computer games but a huge amount is laid out in the novels.

Sure, not if they attack the same round. But they get magic instead. No sympathy. take Warcaster at 4 if it’s a problem. Nice little boost then.

They’re likely to get it anyway with War Caster a feat specially designed for spellcasters in combat. If you start giving feat abilities as class abilities all the time then what’s the point of the feat. Otherwise don’t use a shield as an eldritch knight.

I thought so. I’ve seen a few comments asking about Abeir elements of the FR and I just wondered why folks were expecting that to be a part of things going forward.

Have any of the newly released settings actually stuck?… Ravnica, Theros, Strixhaven etc. or did they sell for a few months and get Forgotten completely. For me, there’s no point releasing something flash in the pan. It feels like a setting designed to be specific to 5.5 is condemning itself to...

Isn’t everything on the continent returned to what was there before? I thought that was the point of the second Sundering?

Definitely great news. Very pleasantly surprised by the FR stuff released to date. For Ed to add four modern supplements is awesome. Though timing might be off as my Dalelands campaign is starting in Spring.

The transparent explanation is in Tasha’s. 2024 doesn’t need to have a specific option. Everyone who cares about half elves knows they can play a half elf.

Anybody who has been playing the game long enough to bemoan the loss of half orcs and half elves, already knows everything they need to know about playing a half orc or a half elf. WotC has taken a position that there is no mechanical difference between an elf and an elf with one or more humans...

1:4 ratio of player to GM. Always a player in at least one campaign at a time. Usually DMing 3-5 alongside. I definitely and fervently think being a player regularly makes you a better DM though.

Weeping Angels Baby! Its all about the quantum.
