    D&D 5E Bladesinger with a staff

    Spare me. “Gate keeping”? Because I want my players to have to make choices if they want to play concepts? That I don’t rewrite my campaign for the merest whim of my players? You might need to actually look up what gatekeeping is. I’m allowed to run my games as I want. And you know what? Except...

    D&D 5E Bladesinger with a staff

    the people who’ve been in the games I’ve run over the last 20 years (started dming around then after playing for awhile) would disagree. Heavily. and home brewing everything instead of working within the rules to accomplish what you want is boring.

    D&D 5E Bladesinger with a staff

    Yeah I’ve been playing since the late 80s. Most of the “distinct and unique” crap you’re talking about is almost always either a) an attempt to bypass in game restrictions or b) just a blatant rip off of some flavor of the week or meme. True creativity isn’t just making something up, it’s done...

    D&D 5E Bladesinger with a staff

    It’s not about the bladesinger being overpowered. It’s about creating precedents for stuff I as a DM don’t want to bother with. I can’t speak for others but in my games if you want to do something unique that isn’t by the book optimal? Feel free. But I’m not changing the rules just to make your...

    D&D 5E Bladesinger with a staff

    No it’s understandable. one thing to remember if you want to go dex is that you don’t have to choose quarterstaff. With the new monk option in Tasha you can choose any one handed non special melee weapon to be a monk weapon, provided you’re proficient with it. So you can choose longsword, axe...

    D&D 5E Bladesinger with a staff

    If you want to go the suboptimal route and use the staff one handed with a multiclass or feat usage for a secondary stat to attack with I say more power to ya. As long as you as a player realize you’ll not (nor should you) be as viable as an dedicated martial character (or an optimized...

    D&D 5E A Shield spell that Scales

    What is “things that aren’t needed in Dungeons in Dragons?”

    Planescape Planescape to languish in purgatory?

    If it makes you feel better I like an even more obscure setting that’ll never see the light of day. Poor Birthright

    Planescape Planescape to languish in purgatory?

    Just sayin if it was as good as the fans all think... it would have stayed a setting

    Planescape Planescape to languish in purgatory?

    🙄 you call it variety, the world calls it pretentious crap.

    Planescape Planescape to languish in purgatory?

    Yeah they’re talking the crappy system some rabid fanboys think is better than the actual setting that’s popular and well known enough to have been the official 5e setting

    D&D 5E Spell Versatility is GONE. Rejoice!

    Why? Spell versatility was a good thing

    Planescape Planescape to languish in purgatory?

    We can only hope it does. Overhyped garbage setting that needs to continue moldering in its tomb

    D&D 5E Aberrant Mind's Psionic Sorcery is officially the most powerful feature.

    So in other words you crap on the sorcerers metamagic. Got it

    D&D 5E How fantastic are natural 1's?

    The problem is that many don’t accept that proposition. if someone is willing to ask a question, they should be all right with getting answers they may not agree with. #sorrynotsorry
