D&D (2024) D&D 5.11 - the time of big change is over

I shifted from the idea of official rules only. Now, WotC lays out the framework that makes the 70%+ happy enough. Then the indy corporations fill in the gaps to meet the needs of the niches.

The DMsGuildhas some astonishing stuff up.

Maybe but honestly some of the stuff I have seen this far like Tales of the Valiant don’t excite me much.

It is a little humorous how KP was trying to position TotV as the more conservative and "compatible" to 5E iteration, but D&D'24 may juat bw.more conservative in the end.

The question is whether what 'too disruptive' has changed since the initial UAs.

I don’t see anything to suggest it has…

I suspect they will both be about the same as how far a departure from 5E they are but in different directions which is why I passed on ToV. Using some original 5E material with ToV and the updated 5E seems like it would be too much a headache.

The big aspect was as Treantmonk broke down what is left to playtest and how much time actually remains.....it makes sense. Realistically the next playtests are going to have to be PACKED to cover all that content.... and so either they go more conversative with which they know works, or they abandon the playtests to go more experimental, which is a roll of the dice. Seems they chose the tried and true.

The biggest ? to me is the monster manual. Again based on limited playtest time, it seems likely they will focus on tweaking and adjusting monster stats rather than bringing out major changes in mechanics.

I mean, yeah, that's about what I expected. UA has never really done anything with Monsters.

that is the least question to me, think MotM instead of Volo’s. Same changes for the MM.

I am more curious why there is a playtest for it at all, they must be proposing something more than that, but I would not expect mayor changes either way. Might be more about encounter building or adventuring day than monster changes

The question is, do the devs actually view any change as necessary...?

Again, there are burs in their craw like Twin Spell that won't survive the night. Third level subclasses are another I wager.

KP tried running Paizo's Playbook when it wasn't going to be applicable.
