Kobolds aren't lizards, they're tiny dragon people. Warm blooded. White dragons have kobold underlings all the time. Fire mages also sound like somthing local towns would love to have to help keep the place heated and not freezing. I can imagine that having some help heat bath houses would be...

That's more of an upcast with an alternative cost, not more spells. There's no real way to argue that its more spells, because its still linked to one Concentration, one turn casting that's using 1 spell slot (or 1 charge on a staff/wand), and isn't going beyond what said spell was already...

17 with subclass, not 16. You get two from the subclass when you hit level 3 for having spell level 1 and spell level 2 magics, then a third for getting spell level 3 magics. But if we're going to discuss Bladesinger, the subclass without offering more spells, then you have to take into account...

Everyone laughed at my farmer, maid, chef, merchant classes too! I think that people are just being silly. I picked my four based on classes from jrpg games and the species options from stereotypical video game options. So, its not like what I said hasn't been done elsewhere, but its all in...

Wizards do have more spells without adding scrolls or books, though the amount is small. They start with 6 known spells, then gain additional 2 per level, and the spell school grants them an additional 1 per new spell level when they get subclass. At level 3, they have 12 known spells. A...

Its related to how the two classes prepare spells. Wizards can rearrange their prepared spell list every short rest. Sorcerers need to wait for a level up. This lets the wizard prepare a spell, scribe it, then swap out the spell for a new one to scribe. This gives the wizard a larger pool of...

Arcane recovery was touched on, as was rituals, but I think the conclusion is mistaken, as well as missing an important aspect - scroll scribing Ultimately, Arcane Recovery, rituals, and a better method for scroll scribing doesn't lend towards better exploration vs a Sor's better "combat."...

They're not just similar. They're mirror reflections of each other, two different approaches to the same exact role. Warlock, at least, feels more like... the playstyle is closer to paladin or ranger than it is to wizard or sorcerer, imho. But sorcerer has never truly outgrown its status as an...

Good luck

Instruments are to bards as books are to wizards. The way that you're looking to define the Expert classes? It feels like its the same thing that defines wizards. And, should we flip it, the Fighter as well - they're defined, for the most part, by being weapon experts. Those are tools too. D&D...

Winter Walker In many ways, its a lot like Hunter, in that you're encouraged to be Hunter Mark heavy. This also pushes you towards TWFing. This inevitably means that we're going to end up comparing the two subclasses. Level 3. You get 1d4 cold damage (eventually 1d6), cold resistance, AND a...

Fey Wanderer is our fourth subclass, the last of the phb ones, and probably one of the better options. Level 3 is okay. You get an extra 1d4 damage - not much, but unlike the other classes, it has no condition applied to it. Upon a hit, you deal an extra 2.5 average damage. Not huge, but...

Okay, so now for the big Gloom! Gloom Stalker is a bit weird, because its kind of like the assassin-Ranger. It takes the Stealth aspects of Ranger and dials them up to 11. It doesn't seem like the Gloom Stalker gets a ton of damage upgrades at third level, which is weird. Hunter gets 1d8 on...

Hey! I showered! sniffs

A video by crawford about the playtest. Didn't even make it into the book or playtest proper. Its all just an online thing. What's even odd is that, because of the video, its always warlocks people harp on about. No one cares about dance bards somehow not being dancers before 3, or paladins...

Gonna babble about Ranger subclasses. Already did beastmaster... Hunter... feels like its built for TWFing with spamming Hunter Marks. Yes, you can use a bow or crossbows, but I feel like the level 3 feature is more consistent with TWF (XBM takes up your bonus action, Nick does not), and the...

Meh, Shillelagh is overrated. There, I said it. I find the best option for Beastmaster Ranger is actually... Bow and use all the Summon / Conjure spells you want. Grab Archery FS, bracers of archery. Maybe go for Heavy Weapon Mastery if you're worried about the damage, but I prefer shortbow...

Hunter also has slightly stronger damage boosts than Fey and Gloom early on. 1d8 on practically every turn instead of 1d4 (or 2d6 WIS per day) at level 3. At level 7, Gloom and Fey offer mental saves, wherein Hunter gives Disadvantage on enemy attacks - much more frequent. Winter Warden seems...

Note that Beastmaster also does not get any additional spells. And, while Winter Walker does indeed get spells, its only one per level instead of two.
