D&D (2024) Unearthed Arcana Playtest Packet 6 Video

[BlackSeed_Vash]

I understand why people were disappointed with the epic boon feats; especially the ones introduced in the first few packets. But it was due to them not being epic/capstone enough, not due to class identity.
Also, why can we just get a class capstone and an epic boon feat at 20th level. It's not like most people are going to get there in the first place.

Why is so much of this thread devoted to the Exhaustion discussion which is not a change related to this announcement at all?

Agreed; my problem with epic boons wasn’t the concept, it was that they weren’t very epic.

Apparently a lot of people missed that it got cut from the playtest and are just realizing it now.

People are using it as an emblem of "change I liked that theybare walking back."

Personally, I didn't care for the proposed revision to exhaustion (way more bad vines than the 2014 rule), but I get their point. I don't think that invalidates the playtest methodology at all, as ot every change is better just because it's a change.

I did not like, that it was not related to class identity. And something that you got again at (pseudo) level 21, 22 and so on.
Maybe making epic boons level 19 feats, or even lvl 16 feats would be great.

I'd also hope, that the retain the stat bump on class level 20 as standard.

They were pretty well-received here - I seem to be one of the very few regulars who didn’t like them. But, as if we needed another reminder, ENWorld regulars are not representative of the D&D community at large.

I disliked them, and let that be known in the survey, it just wasn't a terribly interesting topic to debate.

I think they should just drop exhaustion all together.

It doesn't add enough to the game to be worth the extra rules.

There seem to be more of us than I thought, maybe we’ve just been less vocal about it.

I disagree. They’re very valuable to me, as the exploration pillar’s analogue to the combat pillar’s hit points.
