Yeah, got to echo some of the other sentiments here that the account numbers are not cause for celebration. It's pretty embarrassing how lax every company seems to take security, but given that they rarely seem to be harmed by it I can't say that I'm too surprised.

It's noteworthy that almost all of the mentioned creatures are as close as can be to having old-school save-or-lose effects. I'll second shadows as being particularly great as others have said, even against higher level PCs the threat of strength drain is a compelling one. Since it hasn't been...

You're pretty much correct unless you picked the only fighter worth playing, i.e. the battlemaster. Any other time you'll be outperformed by other options prior to 11th level, since that's the only point at which the fighter is actually better at attacking things. However, your concerns about...

I like that you simultaneously assert that the DM should challenge the players, then also at the end malign the DM for being irritated at the inability to challenge due to an OP character. First off, if not a direct competitor, the DM is still a player in that he gets to control the monsters...

Good catch, I'll add that to the list of revisions. Thanks!

Druid:Circle of Fungi Preamble The purpose of this homebrew is to supplant the existing Circle of Spores druid as presented in the upcoming WotC book on Ravnica. I was immensely disappointed to read what Wizards had come up with; a class that was incredibly weak and uninspired, with...

Yeah, no. Skills will never cut it in that regard, and if the fix was that simple then it would already be done. My point was that there should be combat incentives or options for a multitude of stats on all characters, such as my example on expanded sneak attack options of rogues. If...

Nothing is stopping me from creating a whole system on my own. The reason most don't do this is because they would prefer to let someone else undergo that effort and then compensate them for use of said product. Similarly, if I have to change huge swathes of a product in question, then it begs...

I agree with Elfcrusher, while limiting stats was nice and a design decision that should be kept, the utter abandonment of tertiary stat usefulness drives me ballistic. If all fighters could get some benefits from Int, for example, we might see more niche builds around being an knowledgeable...

This one looks to be a hard pass for me, as I have no interest in running a game in Ravnica since it's basically a poor-man's Sigil, but I held out hope that it would be something akin to Mordenkainen's where the crunch (specifically for monsters) would be worth the purchase. As it stands 38...

Add me to the 'forgot about healing spirit' camp, since none of my players know about it. As for the rest, I put GWM and SS as the OP feats (no surprise there I'm sure), and hold person, banishment, and feeblemind for the spells. As far as classes go rangers, sorcerers, and fighters got the...

The wording on the ability is "It obeys mental commands, and the only action it can take is the Attack action, making one melee attack", which is the source of my confusion. If they had simply said the zombie can only use the Attack Action, then yeah I'd naturally assume it could grapple and...

But they should probably try and make them somewhat effective, which I doubt this version is going to be remembered for. The damage on its features are atrocious. With their spore shape up their reaction damage caps out at 11 average (2d10), and is one of the most resistable damage types. At...

Since my group is scattered to the four winds and thus always have to use roll20, yeah I almost always make tokens with the monster artwork on it. Likewise, when the players have a particularly noteworthy encounter I add it to a running "Hall of Infamy" that has the full artwork with a retelling...

Still not feeling this really. Given how past playtested rules have gone, I'm not expecting any exciting overhauls on things we've already seen, which doesn't inspire confidence. The monsters sound cool, since Magic has no shortage of interesting variants, but they'll need to be really really...
