    D&D General What do you say when someone is thinking of quitting your game?

    your favorite meal in the world starts to taste foul if you only eat that. like many said, it's most probably just D&D burnout. it's summer now, maybe change one session for a barbecue with your group and their special ones/kids.

    D&D General An At-Will Warlock, Warlock’s Curse, and an Idiosyncratic Recharge Idea

    I like most the A5E version where warlock has spell points, as casting some spells at "level 5" is really awful ways to waste a 5th level spell slot. also add that Short rest is 1minute long or it can even be "full round action" and you are "blinded" and "paralyzed" while you perform the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Giving monsters more (unlimited?) reactions in one turn

    I would say that you get 1 by default and you can spend an AP to get another. some feats might give you free reaction or 2 reaction for 1 AP cost. having 6 AP per turn might also make Haste scalable spell, by giving 1,2 or 3 AP to your turn.

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    I agree with that 100% and I have stated several suggestion that can be instead of mandatory HM, which is in it's base pretty meh. it's a lousy spell to base an entire class on it. It's OK as an option to take and even better when ignored. I just added what can be added to HM to make it more...

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    yeah, ease up on class features on early levels 1-4, divorce feats from class levels(bonus feats from class can still be a thing) and have one feat for levels 1-4 and then 1 feat every 4 levels, 8,12,16,20. every character "needs" 3 or maybe 4 feats to define the mechanics, getting all 4 in 4...

    that works also or just when you take favored enemy dragons, gain advantage on Dex saves and resistance to one energy type of dragons, that you can change on long rest this is a good idea

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    heh, maybe but really, getting extra 1st level spells and maybe even a cantrip at 3rd level is too little too late for most spell. they are good at 1st and 2nd level and fall of the cliff after. frontloading is a problem, but on the other hand without it, characters are boring to play, I mean...

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    So true, ranger features, even if they look specialized, need to have broad effect. I.E: favored enemy can have small combat boost, like once on YOUR TURN when you deal damage to your favored enemy, deal +1d6 extra damage of the same type, or different number. then broader abilities can be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Giving monsters more (unlimited?) reactions in one turn

    6pts: move 1 pt attack. 4 pts then you can have attack speed as extra attacks, attack: 3 pts, 2 attacks: 5 pts attack: 2 pts, 2 attacks: 3 pts attack: 1 pt spellcasting 1-5 points quicken metamagic(-1 action point, minimum of 1) gain extra reaction, 1 pt using potion/weapon oil/poison: 1 pt...

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    sorcerer can be in ignorance about the source of it's power, but it still should be there to a degree, I agree with @James Gasik in the next post as proficiencies(weapons, skills, armor, tools) and bonus spells should be added from 1st level. Like Scout rogue, Proficiency in Nature and Survival...

    D&D 5E (2024) Snarf's Complete Two Weapon Fighting and Grappling Guide

    it's really not, TWF is actually worst style for a fighter. you only get one extra "off hand" attack, and even if you take the feat(that anyone can take) you still get only one extra attack as Bonus action.

    D&D 5E (2024) Homebrew Ranger subclass: The Buccaneer

    I like the most of it, but; sounds nice why would they not stack? not that sneak attack is anything that special... nice selection of spells, except Gust of wind or even Levitate might be a better theme than rope trick. ok, feature this needs to be put down to 7th level as it is very weak...

    D&D 5E (2024) YART: Adding Ranger Spell Options to Class Features.

    maybe ALL summon spell could last 24hrs. they are still limited by concentration, they can still be destroyed by damage or dispel.

    D&D 5E (2024) YART: Adding Ranger Spell Options to Class Features.

    this, but familiar/companion should have decent HP so it can tank few hits if scouting goes wrong, for damage, some d6 damage die should be enough.

    RPG Evolution: Eat, Kill, Love

    We once had a system of caves infested by goblins that raided nearby roads and settlements so we were paid to clear them. It took a long time, and after a week or so, we found out that goblin meat is better tasting than their excuse for rations that was in spoils of war or whatever vermin or...
