So kicking around ideas for a chronurgist. Has anyone used it in play? What worked well for you and what didn't?

With the play tests ongoing and Warriors likely to come soon, I've been thinking about the Monk, and what I might recommend based on what we've seen of One D&D so far. My thoughts: Martial Arts. Generally a good ability. Give the Monk a fighting style at 1st. The Unarmed style shores up the 1d4...

In 5E, in actual play, have you used any of these at all during the time that they have been published options? I will be posting several polls separately to get a feel for what people are actually doing.

With the recent playtest and the continued express commitment to backward compatibility on the 2024 rules release, by whatever name. I'm wondering if backward compatibility from One D&D back to 5E will truly work. The changes being tested seem to indicate not. Grappling not using ability checks...

Some thoughts that are just my humble opinion on some of the hot points that I've seen argument about. With respect to any who disagree, I hope that WOTC gives a serious read to these discussions on the One D&D play testing. 1. 'Removing monster crits is bad for the game'. Agree. I get that...

With an invocation of the Cloud Rune, the new target becomes the target of the attack and of 'all it's effects with the same roll'. I read this that if the attack has advantage, then the higher roll becomes 'the same roll' meaning the roll that determines the hit. What if the triggering attacker...

Playing with ideas for a Phantom Rogue. Looking at the Dhampir from VRGtR. Seems like a natural. Has anyone played the Phantom? Feats are in including Tasha's. Recommendations? It reminds me of the 3.5 Ghost Faced Killer.

At character creation, would you rule that if the character is variant Human Dhampyr, he would keep the feat gained at 1st level?

So, for our next campaign, Tasha's is in so I have been playing with ideas for a build. Backstory, He's grew up a human not in the nearest elven city but in the underdark city far beneath. Hence some of the unusual feat choices. Variant Human Standard array Str 15 Dex 10 Con 12 Int 13 Wis 8 Cha...

OK. Here's a poll for the community. I there are some strong negative feelings about this, but indulge me as I test the wind. I'll leave the poll open for 2 weeks.

So playing with ideas for the Oathbreaker. Variant human. Starting at 1st. Looking at the feats including in UA that are likely to be in TCOE and be mainstream legal. My thought was to get some spells that are unusual for the Paladin. I can also see a lot of potential in the Metamagic Adept...

So I've heard or read quite a bit about the ranger in 5E complaining that it's underpowered, badly written or that there were otherwise design issues. I took my stab at it. Not saying this is how it should be but IMHO this changes the existing as little as possible and irons out some perceived...

I recently watched a podcast review of the Hexblade Otherworldly Patron. I was surprised that both hosts hated it. Their main points were to the effect of it being broken particularly at first level. I've played one to 14th now and I can say IMHO I would not ban it as a DM as these fellows...

So, here's a DM question. With a rogue and particularly, the assassin, this has come up. The surprise round is the first round of combat when one side is not aware of the threat. So, the assassin strikes with a sneak attack before the target acts and gets a critical hit. What about surprise...

One of my players mentioned a hybrid angel/fiend. I seem to remember something like this from a past edition but I don't remember what it was called. I'm fairly sure that I have the WOTC book somewhere but I hope I don't have to look through them all. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

OK So there was some discussion in another thread so I'll throw this out there as it's own topic. Playing an 11th level Human Hexblade Pact of the blade Warlock. It's my first warlock and I am enjoying the character immensely. As 12th level approaches, feats are allowed and I already have a 20...

https://media.wizards.com/2019/dnd/downloads/UA-WildAstral.pdf What do people think of this playtest path? I've always enjoyed monks and this seems to have some possibilities. As I read it, the Astral Arms are only weapons, so no grappling with them. The other features could be OK. A way to use...
