Green: Barely to no changes Yellow: like but needs changes Red: No go

I've see Neither Tales of the Valiant or Daggerheart will replace D&D because they don't have the same appeal. MCDM's system might pull more people, but ultimately it will also be a niche since it's more crunchy. 5E is popular because is simple yet somewhat crunchy, which is easier to pick up...

A 70% solution now is better than a Perfect solution late. If you know you know...

THIS TBH!

Of course they will try. I, for one, am ok with Psion being a spellcasting class--no need to reinvent the wheel. The Mystic partially failed because it tried to brute-force features that were re-skinned spells, and many didn't like that. Sidenote: With Warlocks also able to cast Telekinetic...

It was mentioned before, but Crooked Moon comes to DDB on 17 June. Based on the Edge of Midnight campaign from Avantris and using 2024 rules.

Yes, otherwise Bestow Curse is better since you have many more options with it and it's only hindered by being a touch spell. Look at Goolock, Draconic Sorc and Fey Wanderer; all three have the option (keyword: optional) to make their summon spells non-concentration for 1-minute when casting it.

There's a disconnect: the spell becomes nearly useless in combat because you can only use it against one target and you're done. What player's want is the flexibility to have HM/Hex in combat while casting another concentration spell; that's where the 1-minute alteration becomes a buff--whether...

So, what happens to the rest of the casts at level 20? You have 6 total casts of HM at level 20, but if you make HM lose concentration and also have a 24 hour duration, what am I gonna do with the other 5 casts? What I mean is, that your fix completely invalidates the PB gain feature. There is...

I don't have a problem with the damage; my issue is the lack of resource cost. With the other features he added at previous levels, you only have to apply one use of your free HM casts to have 24-hr extra 2d6 per attack without concentration. Your other free casts become dead weight, and serve...

So at level 20 you get a flat 2d6 per attack with no resource expense and no drawbacks. This is too much. As much as I hate to say it, there's a reason why HM has concentration: because it's a flat damage multiplier with drawbacks. If you remove concentration from it, then it becomes free damage...

You're right; there's a whole other reasons why people dip Paladin, and it's not just Divine Favor or Smites...but that's neither here nor there. Here's the thing: these spell versions you came up with have the same issue as the official ones: why should I cast them over other spells? Your...

You realize that this very concept was already playtested for the PHB UA and was rejected in the surveys. The reason it keeps getting rejected is because it offers free stacking damage at barely any cost, whether it's applied once or for each attack. Not only that, but you can easily get the...

We're it so easy; yet we still have people arguing that if it's not capitalized, then it's not a game/rule term and it's just fluff to be disregarded or inconsequential. Just look at the 350+ post reddit thread for the errata to see some truly incomprehensible arguments of cherry picking rules.

One thing to clarify is that True Polymorph now got clarification on the THP in the errata. Sadly, still no clarification on the speak and casting part. What if I turn from a human into an elf, or a Gith, or any other creature capable of speaking? Well, hope you like being mute
