IMO, RAW says choose a level 1, 2, or 3 spell and get extra castings of it. Free castings of a spell are at their base level, unless stated otherwise. If I were your DM, I'd allow you to choose a level 1 or 2 spell upcast to 3, if only to broaden the spells that are good with the feature...

This reminds me that part of me keeps going back to my 4E assumption that the Monk was going to be the Divine Striker.

It's funny. I've had a long standing 5E house rule that has really helped out. 1) All DCs are increased by +2 (formula is 10 + prof + mod) 2) All characters and creatures get proficiency in all saves. Then, saves scale with DCs (though some scale slower due to ability score scaling). I was so...

I personally find switching from "Way of ..." to "Warrior of ..." to be lame, actually. I think Monk got genericized in the wrong direction; I think they should have leaned into the mystical and religious side of the monk.

In my longest 5E game, which ran from 5th to 12th level, the party Warlock picked up Tiny Hut. It only got abused one time. The players were running away from an encounter and dove underwater (they already had water breathing on the party). The warlock actually used a spell slot to cast it...

Users on the discord. Staff I can understand, they're required to be positive and follow company plans. But plenty of users weren't letting others express their disappointment.

Im just feeling a little bitter towards all the defenders saying it wasn't being shut down when they initially laid off most of the staff. It really stinks for the staff who put in tons of work. They were given an impossible task.

I firmly believe that nothing should be a class unless you can think of 10 archetypes for it. That's why I love the current 13ish classes we have (though I personally liked the theme of the Mystic for D&D more than the Psion, but that's easily changed). So, here's my wishlist: 1) Some type of...

Necromancy is okay when you're bringing back ones you love.

I personally use investigation for active searching, so I would use it for searching for traps or secret doors. Stealth rolls against Passive Perception, and active Perception is used to notice hidden things. I'd let someone use Perception to notice that something is off, pointing them in the...

I waited years for the gargantuan green, and it never happened. Then I got the 5 new chromatics, and they started releasing Metallics. I'd had the anniversary Sapphire dragon for a while, but I assumed they'd never make gem dragons. The wait from the crystal dragon to amethyst dragon made me...

That was my feedback. I hope they get a lot of that

I would love to see Warlocks with a rebalanced at-will Hex plus pact boons for when a hexed target is killed or defeated. It's one of those times when story and mechanics really link up, making the warlock player feel like they're serving their patron by sending them souls or killing their enemies.

Spells that have a save every round to break shouldn't be concentration. That's my belief. Concentration should be for the sustain type stuff from 4E.

Im a huge 4E lover. When 5E first came out, I started working on a variant to introduce +W die scaling at 5, 11, and 17 level, and replace Extra Attack with unique features for each class. Barbarian got half damage on miss Fighter got weapon focus/specialization/mastery for +to hit and +damage...
