My degree of disappointment in this playtest material cannot be expressed in words.
Neat, though I wish other languages had signed equivalents as well.
Well, weaker until 5th level, then equivalent until 9th. Considering most campaigns end by 10th level or so, this is probably a net nerf overall, with the potential to become a late-game buff. Seems like a good call to me.
In the video, Jeremy Crawford explains that in the 2024 edition, every spell will be tagged as Arcane, Divine, or Primal (and in some cases more than one of the above). He also hinted that classes might grant access to spells in other ways that just the general power source lists.
Just for you.My degree of disappointment in this playtest material cannot be expressed in words.
This means I should check it out, innit?My degree of disappointment in this playtest material cannot be expressed in words.
I noticed, and I liked it. Those were a great idea that never went anywhere. Most of them are mostly useless (or only useful in the once or twice a campaign sense, such that people forgot they had them when they would be useful). Since most are not useful DMs tend to want to construe the useful ones as useless as well, lest someone get an unbalanced boon.Also did everyone notice they removed the old semi-mechanical semi-RP benefit backgrounds have? I mean it's fine, but it's of note, I think.
A return to 4e martial powers is one of the few changes they could make that would make me not buy anything D&D beginning in 2024. The other big one would be doing away with spell levels. There were some things that I liked from 4e (healing surges, psionic classes being in the game, and a few others) but martial powers and wizards having low level spells disappear from their spell books were among the major deal breakers for my group.That's just 4e martial powers, which I'm completely in favor of returning to.
Fine, we'll just make maneuvers a universal thing for martial classes. And give them levels.A return to 4e martial powers is one of the few changes they could make that would make me not buy anything D&D beginning in 2024.
