That's fair. I've seen my fair share of "failure to launch" to even land the hit to start the vex chain.. often not mentioned with that build, but landing the first attack with a vex chain is a condition that often isn't mentioned.. I'd honestly rather stratify some more versatile weapon mastery...

& I hate "dmg" arguments so its crazy to think I will add to one, but people tend to gloss over the GWM bonus attack because of the situational nature and you can add the greataxe free cleave to that too. On my GWM champion I out-race the dmg of our dual wielder mightily just cleaving hordes...

Likes: 1) Decreased cognitive loading 2) The subclasses 3) Simplified movement Dislike: 1) Majority magic is combat, less utility spells 2) WoTC @tm gamer species. Just opinion, I just don't like the lizard heads and the DnD take on drow. Probably more I don't like... but hey I still play, it...

I understand that and that is fine, I know many people still use '14. The post has "DnD 5e 2024" topic-tagged, so I was just trying to verify. You couldn't pay me to go back to the old system for that.. not that I think it’s "bad", just much more streamlined now.. IMO

Is this basing more on the oddball 2014 exhaustion table? Part of why Im so high on exhaustion '24 is how streamlined it is. For cognitive loading, I say just flat cap the current '24 table to reduce the lethality aspect

I will often just put a flat exhaustion cap on (non-lethal) exhaustion.. so I have a Sword that caps at 3 levels of exhaustion max. Exhaustion caps are an easy way to differentiate the "lethalness" of the imposing situation

I thought I read somewhere that Orcus was involved in the origin of liches (DnD canon stuff). Like providing the knowledge of the rites and just letting more evil come of it. He likes to pull a pin from a hand grenade and leave it in the closet with someone after closing the door. Doesn't have...

Yeah, IMO, Zealot is more self-sufficient.. just generic healing at bonus speed can do that.... but strategy between the 2 is wholly different debate than "better at Dmg and durability in low-variance combat" You start throwing: climbing, swimming, magic users behind blockades, diversified...

Meh, strategy-wise this plays out pretty differently in my group. If discussion of strategy here. I've never loved the "kill the enemy faster" retort. I get it, but: In my playgroup, there is no "healthbars" for you to take this gamble, only announcement of if the creature is bloodied, otherwise...

To me, it is this uneven ease doing your thing and the outcry if the act of actually doing magic was more limited. The old superhero power argument and just flinging around spells like a gunslinger. Yeah, Wizbiz can have disadvantage up-close.. but that doesn't feel like it is enough to me, also...

Yeah, really interesting with how pecking orders can form in the darndest places. Intellectual bullying was pretty alive at some LGS I used to go to as well.

Love it! A powerful, TPK/empire toppling lich name if I've ever heard one!

Artificer is like the girl who can grow her fingernails at a rapid speed, and everyone else is the JLA. Or, "The Bat", in the The Hard-Rocking Quartet of: Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, and.. "The Bat"

Bozo is so underutilized, though I'm more of a jabroni guy myself...

Bureaucracy headbutts with art and scientific process pretty hard 😀.
