Any weapon that splits your accuracy and damage out over two stats is going to be strictly inferior to standard weapons. A bow that is modified to use STR instead of DEX for both accuracy and damage will, at best, provide a decent ranged backup for heavy melee characters, and be downgrade for...

I am apparently in the minority of people who prefer the G over RP. Then again, I always preferred the tongue-in-cheek "beer & pretzels" style of game nights over trying to write a drama or living out another life (as it were). So the actual game parts of the game are what influence what I am...

Discord is primarily a Voice/Video application, that also has text/picture upload functionality. They are working on making the text part better.

Discord is really bad for for discussions with more than 6 active participants and/or longer than 45 minutes at a time. Any more people and you get buried under the responses, and any longer will inevitably cause someone to be forced to rehash the same talking points as the server filters in...

4e monsters were never meant to be equal (emphasis) to a PC of X level, only to dish out the appropriate DPR for their position in a single encounter. They are not interchangeable parts and were not created using even remotely the same rules. The math of CR aside, using a different terminology...

There are already too many disparate uses of the word "level" in the system. Not only is it for characters, but also spells which are on a separate 0-9 track no less. Adding monsters into the mix can only make it more confusing, doubly so because that would imply that a monster is equal to a PC...

I will second this method. Mostly because it's the only actual nerf I would consider for changing the class (and it's something that needs to be done before touching anything else anyway). All other changes would be a massive redesign and not necessarily a nerf.

The take away from these types of threads (and they happen a lot) is that people treat "magical" as a pejorative when used to describe a character, and the power of perpetual pedantry is why we can't have powerful martials.

It's been such a long time since I used the books directly, I had forgotten they dedicated an entire line to that, instead having be a single cell, like it is on D&D Beyond.

Now that I find hard to believe, you have never looked up a spell, only to have a different spell on the same or opposite page catch your eye?

That's how 4e handled it!

Solved is a strong word for that, considering that approach runs afoul of the problem directly below that.

This is an inherent problem with the medium of physical books. (And I know people are going to hate that I said that) If you remove the class list from the spell section of the book, and you are reading a spell: Then you have to flip to 9+ different lists scattered across an entire chapter...

The most shocking part of this is that they are letting the book on D&D Beyond before the book even exists. I know the Dungeon Dudes have a track record, but you would think WotC/D&D Beyond would have someone read the book before giving it a spot on the servers.

Well I'm late to the party this time. Anyway there is a growing resentment towards fantasy using genetic based magic systems, which the Sorcerer falls under, because it has "Bloodline Magic." Given that the Warlock can easily handle all of the magical origins via different means (and arguably...

I have a hat with "Hat +1" stitched into it that I wear all the time.

I've had a Brutish Warrior in nearly every game system I've played that allowed for it (including video games). The appeal of aggressively smashing my problems while my enemies break themselves trying to stop me, just speaks to me on a primal level.

I have to admit, the D&D wizard spellbook is one of the main reasons I like the class. Not because it's powerful, but because it creates an inherent reason why a wizard would go around adventuring, if for no other reason than "gotta catch 'em all". Furthermore, it behooves wizards to gather in...

For a bit of perspective, the first drawing program was made in 1963, and the first fully digitally painted movie was The Rescuers Down Under from 1990. So digital art is older than D&D, and digital art as a prominent thing is older than MTG. Edit: for clarity~

Ok, now that makes it look better, as it's intended to be fuzzy because it's far away.
