yeah whom doesn't want their ranger to have a cuddly owlbear companion?

Hunter's Mark should be an ability, not a spell. It's basically target lock (which I always imagine looks like Reboot's Enzo Matrix's ability). And it should be followed up by the Rangers' "Death Blossom" (which should be a spell).

yeah I still prefer my 3e Deepwoods sniper/4e ranger / 5e rogue/scout, but I'm having a blast trying to figure out how to do a ranger with spells that appeal to me, and it comes down to more arcane, less druidic. then again, I prefer my bards learned (int based) for their spellcasting so take...

I got one that's controversial Magic Missile. it simulates a "patriot arrow" at low levels. it doesn't require a save plus can hurt creatures immune to standard weapons. And, it is balanced by range (longbow fires further), and limited uses. It's basically the "must-hit spell" reskin it as...

The main argument for me for a ranger class is spells, as some sort of druidic knight or avatar of a hunting god. so I'm asking which spells should be on the spell list? This can include spells that are already there or should be there. They can be from the latest edition or bring back a...

at this point the conservatism is summed up for me as follows. Apparently, there are 3 basic rules about D&D 1. Never let a lady called Williams in charge of your company., 2. Gary isn't allowed to leave the house...he ends up with hookers and blow, 3. Dave needed Grammarly. :p

While my preferred is a non-magical ranger, my first was an arcane ranger. before Aragon for me, there was Shamino from Ultima. I would absolutely love a "spell sniper" subclass of ranger that is based on mixing the arcane with archery and woodcraft.

The main thing I usually get from most fantasy worlds is that the gods are just as petty as any mortal, and the fewer of them, the better. I wouldn't be surprised if there are nihilist cults explicitly designed to remove gods and usurp their powers. Afterall, if they have stats, you can kill...

I listened to a reading of D&D allowed, and Ben Riggs had Jonathan Tweet on it. In 3e, it felt like spellcasters were given supremacy at the expense of every other class (ex., CoDzilla), especially compared to their 2e counterpart. I always assumed it was Monte Cook's love of mages (and coined...

I received my new books and had a chance to look at them; honestly, after a 1st read, I seriously love them. It is very streamlined, and they fixed the ranger by splitting it into two classes: hunter and shepherd, both of which work significantly better than the grab bag of the 5e ranger...

Yeah, and now it's making me look at it with a Shadowrun eye. so naturally, we need to add the greatest dragon in all of fiction. The great Canadian Dragon DunkelZahn :D

Ever since somebody said treat it like cyberpunk, I'm tempted to do the Ravnica equivalent of cybergenerations and just completely mess up the setting. :p

It's not for ordering a large Hawaiian pizza? Well, good to know. :)

the Shadovar actually. :p

yup, Canada is a desolate wasteland that is surprisingly interesting, which I hope I portrayed in another thread. :D I'll be blunt What areas in Kara-tur are criminally underwritten? I'm having an absolute blast filling in the holes. :D

This is book that started my reduction of interest in 5e books. It's not the worst, but I never figured out how to run a game in this world. It has all the complaints of Forgotten Realms NPCs interfering with the addition that you're allowed to do even less to avoid messing up the status quo...

They will prep a great plan, show it to the hasbro suits, and then immediately run away at the original cost. Ever since I found out they almost had a D&D MMO....and then sold it out to Atari, I have no faith in them actually doing the work. Let Larian bask in the glory of BG3 and then use...

Been a fan of Rocky and Bullwinkle and started pondering, and well, here it is. Upsidasium (Special Material) Wondrous Ore, Rare Upsidasium is a silvery, fragile crystalline metal that defies gravity. Even the smallest shard will drift upward unless restrained. Properties Negative Weight. A...
