D&D (2024) Are watching the videos a requirement for the ONE D&D playtest?

[darjr]

I've noticed that the videos by WotC about the playtest have info that isn't in the actual documents that might help folks playtest. Or at least understand better what they are getting at. Or inform what they are testing.

See this thread for some of that confusion about down-leveling.

Down Leveling spells, from the Expert Classes playtest.

From the playtest. I haven’t seen this discussed much. Has anyone tried this in play yet? I wonder if this would mean spells level ranges might get rearranged. Was anyone doing this as a house rule? edit to add a link to the point in the video where they say it's something they are...

www.enworld.org

I like watching them and enjoy the insight, but I'm not sure if it's good if they are required. Though maybe a mix of testers who have watched them and those that have not is a good thing.

I've reposted the video playlist here.

Required? Nah, but it's certainly informative.

I don't think you NEED them but they are helpful.

@Parmandur @GMforPowergamers is there anything you would have missed without listening to them?

the down grade being anything more then a range 1 shot feature for the volly ability, and why ranger is an expert at all.

I'd prefer transcripts actually.

There are. They could use cleaning up however which I started and gave up on.

Not much for the text, but context for what their plans are and hints at what's to come.
