To me there is a real struggle with a lot of people in the hobby of having the game look like a certain way and what the positive and... -
Kinematics replied to the thread D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes.I can't believe it never occurred to me before, but yeah, this helps define what I think "should" be the way to view subclasses. There...

Kinematics reacted to Charlaquin's post in the thread D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes with Like.
I think you’re right on the money. If we’re talking about pure combat balance, 2024 5e has reached a pretty good spot. Casters, for the...

That's a relic of the design process. We started with the things with the lowest rating and worked our way up between packets. If...

Kinematics reacted to DEFCON 1's post in the thread D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes with Like.
Honestly... I'm on the train with those folks who think 'subclass at 3' was a multiclassing decision. When you put a subclass ability...

The game should be designed such that thematically appropriate choices are not mechanically poor choices. This is an entirely reasonable...

So to me a social criminal is a charlatan but I do agree that wisdom would have made more sense for that instead of con. As far as the...

Kinematics reacted to I'm A Banana's post in the thread D&D General Should you Multiclass? with Like.

I can't seem to get a nice table to post. My first attempt to post this had the formatting of the table turn to unreadable crap after I...
