I'm very curious about your darker druid subclasses if you've ever posted them anywhere

Balance, basically. With 2 WShapes per SRest it's almost always guaranteed that you'll have a WShape resource spare for your subclass ability. By limiting the additional use to a RP/utilty beast shape your DM still at least has a chance of having you run out of combat uses if they so chose e.g...

Hi all. Many druid subclasses now have a powerful alternate use for their Wild Shape resource. This is great for those who have no interest in Wild Shape, but for those who do enjoy being a CR 0 tiny beast purely for RP or utility it is now far more expensive and you could easily run out of...

Yes, there will be times where we're facing multiple encounters every day for 3/4/5 days and won't be able to Long Rest until we're in a safe settlement with no time time pressures

Encounter frequency can vary between a few days stuck in a dungeon, to a few days exploring a city with one encounter per day, however as the narrative deepens everything starts getting very time sensitive so we won't often be able to hang out for 3 days to rest/prep

It's true that battlefield manoeuvrability stays useful all the way to level 20. But equally, so does scouting/sneaking/flying as a bug so, in GR, I'm wary of subclasses that double dip the WShape resource. Especially if all the subclass abilities rely on it. You're right that 2hrs per day is a...

Starting at Level 6 Short Rest is 8hrs rest somewhere reasonably safe, Long Rest is after 3 such nights. So extra weight is given to any ability that gives you resourceless abilities, extra castings, etc I have plenty of backstory and character ideas covering each subclass but looking at them...

I'm playing a Twilight Cleric and I'm not a huge fan of the CD (loads of temp HP; Frightened and Charmed conditions easily thwarted]. I'm aware of the myriad ways it can be tweaked but it's more an issue with it not suiting the character I'm playing so my DM and I are looking at ideas to replace...

This was linked to via reddit and I think it's a thoroughly interesting read, can't wait to read what you think about SCAG/XAN'S

This was so much fun, i love it!

Oh cool! Can't wait

Meditative Recovery Can I check that this ability was intended to be double the strength of a wizard's Arcane Recovery which uses half their wizard level in order to balance out their Discipline Understanding mechanic?

Hi there I have a level 1 High Elf (+2 DEX, +1 INT) Tempest Cleric who has only had one game so far and I'd like some help with his stats. By rearranging my original Point Buy I've realised I can get +2 INT at the cost of -1 CON With point buy I had gone for: 9, 16, 15, 10, 15, 8 which with...

luckily I have the colourful sheet in my DMsguild library but not the classic/simple grey design, has that been taken down too?

Can I ask how you arranged your stats? Do you tend to use your weapon in melee still?

Hi wise ones. I'm putting together a Level 1 Tempest Cleric and am torn between STR and DEX. For RP reasons they'll be a High Elf (+2 DEX, +1 INT, and one wizard cantrip) with the Soldier background (Athletics and Intimidate) playing alongside a Rogue, Barb and Warlock so I imagine I'll be...

Yeah I literally picked Thorn Whip so I could be a suuuuper inelegant Indiana Jones Hulk Dwooid ​and use it as a clumsily destructive mage hand

This is good news! I think my noob-nerves stemmed from being a goliath druid in a party of squishy rogues/rangers, so I felt the character needed to build up both Wis and Str. I think I'm going to make character/utility choices and just hope that I survive because that sounds like fun!

very good point, I'd forgotten that

Funnily enough I was thinking that I might be better off trading in Thornwhip for Frostbite. The CON save isn't ideal but 2d6 + disadvantage on next weapon attack role seems a great way for a soft caster to run away and maybe avoid an opportunity attack
