    D&D 5E Any Rogue/Warlock ideas?

    My current plan is a human (variant) Rogue Swashbuckler multiclassed into a Warlock. I haven't decided if it should be a bladelock or a tomelock. I also haven't decided on a patron.

    D&D 5E Player's Handbook page quality

    So what are the pages like in everyone's Player's Handbook? Mine are wavy instead of flat, something I assume is from the thin paper quality combined with being soaked in wet ink. However, I wanted to see if this was normal. It left an indentation of the waves on the black paper in the back of...

    D&D 5E Still no information on WotC's digital plans

    Only a few days until the PHB hits stores and we only know a few tidbits about Project Morningstar. No pricing or detailed list of features and content. There is absolutely nothing on their support for PDF books. I was hoping they would give access a digital form of the book for free if you...

    D&D 5E Mage Suggestion for WotC: Modular but separate.

    My suggestion to Mike Mearls and the team working on D&D Next over at WotC is "modular, but separate". The Mage class would still have "Wizardry" and encompass magic systems that are very similar to it such as the High Sorcery in Dragonlance, Preserver magic in Dark Sun, Wild Magic, etc...

    D&D 5E Do you want the Sorcerer, Warlock, Psion, and Artificer separate from the Mage class?

    Instead of just debating the issue, I think a poll will help judge how people feel.

    D&D 5E Mage: Wizards, Sorcerers, Warlocks, Artificers, Psions, oh my.

    I have been mulling over the revelation that all these various types of classes are going to be rolled into a single overarching meta-class. I think I understand why they are doing it. They want an easily modular way to allow swapping of spellcasting systems while maintaining the flavor of the...

    D&D 5E Ranger's favored enemies and spells.

    This thread is inspired by the survey which makes me want to rant a bit. Right now the Ranger in the current playtest packet is lackluster at best. Instead of giving a set of Ranger types that fit the various fictional and historical accounts of them, they try to divide it up into favored...

    D&D 5E Healer feat

    Anyone else find this feat immersion breaking? An action to use a healer's kit to heal 1d6+4 hit points plus additional hit points equal to creature's level? What could possibly be done in less than 6 seconds? That's the quickest bandaging I've ever heard of, all while in the midst of combat.

    [Playtest 2] Background names and flavor seem wrong

    Just looking over the backgrounds, most of them seem off. Commoner and Noble fit as they attest someone's actual background. However, the rest simply don't fit as they seem more like Specializations. Some suggestions on changes I would make would be Priest becoming Priest Acolyte, Thief...

    Daily Powers don't belong on the Fighter

    I was never a fan of the Barbarian's daily Rages in 3e as I am not a fan of Fighter's Surge now. It just doesn't belong. Why can he only do it twice per day? What exactly is stopping him from doing it over and over? Fighters, rogues, barbarians, etc. just shouldn't have daily powers. Want the...

    Only 7 spell levels.

    Curiously the cleric and wizard character sheets only have seven spell levels. I wonder if this part of character sheet design was intentional. It would be an interesting change.

    Armor Class and Defense

    I have been thinking that a modern incarnation of AC should be damage reduction obtainable from armor, magic, natural, etc instead of a defense type roll. 'Defense' would take up the typical dice roll defense score that AC used to be. I look to the 3.5 Unearthed Arcana rules where it split AC...

    Expanding the D&D brand?

    In the PAX panel it talked about how other products such as the boardgames allows them to reduce the number of RPG books they have to release. What would you like to see as far as the expansion of the D&D brand? Think we could see more games such as maybe a D&D card game similar to say the old...

    Aasimar and Tiefling should be Themes or templates, not races

    One of the things that really irked me when it came to these planetouched races is that they always seem to be human. In Forgotten Realms there were elven, orc, and dwarf counterparts with completely different names. So if the human version is going to be included in a core rule book, why should...

    Half- races should be a template

    I think all half- races such as half-orc and half-elf should be combined into an optional template found in the DMG. Some worlds may not have certain combinations, while other worlds may have unique combinations. This will allow all kinds of variety in the "brooding half-breed that doesn't fit...
