    D&D 5E Warlock, Hex, and Short Rests: The Bag of Rats Problem

    Well, I don't think it matters if it is RAW or RAI. By the time the warlock starts getting interested in doing this trick, they are already 5th level, with two 3rd level spells per short rest. Now, either they are not getting some short rests per day, which would make them underperform somewhat...

    D&D 5E Is the Wild magic Sorcerer as terrible as it seems?

    Some character concepts are better suited for groups that are onboard with it (including other players and the DM). Wild mage is just one example. Villainous characters are another, as is some very environmentally focused hero (a pirate comes to my mind). I don't see a point in playing a wild...

    D&D 5E Treantmonk's Guide to Wizards 5e

    Wasn't it meant to be some tongue-in-cheek joke?

    D&D 5E Milticlassing Dip-schticks

    Champion 15 is really funny. And about the assassin, yes, nova-ing can be the the goal for some, in which case I completely agree with you. Some other people, though, actually want an assassin who can do the whole job, including the infiltration part, which sometimes can be the harder part of...

    D&D 5E Milticlassing Dip-schticks

    This actually shows some personal preferences. Some people would never level-dip playing casters just because they want the next higher spell level slot as fast as they can. In the above example, the character will perpetually be (at least up to level 19) one spell level behind the pure caster...

    D&D 5E [UA Fighter Archetypes] The Rapid Strike Problem

    It is just an UA, and they expect people to give them feedback. So I would assume they are actually trying to get a feel of whether we gamers care or not about repeated features on different subclasses for the same class. I would not be surprised if we were to see in an UA the same feature in...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Wizards & Warlocks -- Hexblades, Raven Queens, and Lore Mastery!

    The way I see it, this looks more like some sort of attempt to "fix" the competition created by tomelock with shillelagh+booming blade or green-flame blade. Going tomelock and grabbing these cantrips goes a long way into having a melee warlock which is not only viable but also sort of makes the...

    D&D 5E Boots of Striding and Springing.......kinda lame

    Well, I think we could add a new version with this nice list of abilities. But maybe we should call it "boots of striding, springing and evading"?

    D&D 5E Whatever "lore" is, it isn't "rules."

    I just don't really get what is the matter. It is not as if anything I do when I DM ever influences the campaigns we have in other settings at my gaming table.

    D&D 5E Whatever "lore" is, it isn't "rules."

    I do not actually run the Planescape adventures using a lot of other setting materials, the action is pretty focused on the outer planes (their "nature", dwellers and trivia), factions and Sigil intrigue. Berks come from the material planes, and that includes, in my table, the other settings...

    D&D 5E Whatever "lore" is, it isn't "rules."

    I play and DM in a table with people that DM several different settings, such as FR, DS and DL. When I DM Planescape for my group, they seem to be not bored at all with the interactions with their preferred setting I sometimes throw in, and they also seem very content on building some berks that...

    D&D 5E Proposal: Fighter/mage/thief: quick and dirty concurrent multiclassing/gestalt rules

    Thanks for the answer. As for the oversights, while I did forgot the extra cantrips from EK, the extra spells known are not an issue for me, as we have always had our wizards learning spells from adventuring loot and researching, and adding to their grimoires in our game table. Actually, instead...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Wizards & Warlocks -- Hexblades, Raven Queens, and Lore Mastery!

    If we are to compare the lore master with the sorcerer and the lore master has to burn up spell slots to use some of their "metamagics" while the sorcerer uses either their sorcery pool or burn spell slots, then it seemed to me relevant to try to gauge the cost that each option represents. It...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Wizards & Warlocks -- Hexblades, Raven Queens, and Lore Mastery!

    @Chaosmancer, Sorry for my lack of communication skills. I will try to improve. From your post you seem to get what I was really aiming at. Right up, bolded. As to why it should cost more to make slots, I am not sure if it should, but the way I see it, font of magic gives a lot of flexibility...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Wizards & Warlocks -- Hexblades, Raven Queens, and Lore Mastery!

    Look, I am not really comparing the whole of the both classes, but I am trying to gauge the price of the lore master "metamagic" with the sorcerer's. This is what I was originally aiming at, and it seemed that, as spell slots and sorcery pool are the resources that enable both features, and both...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Wizards & Warlocks -- Hexblades, Raven Queens, and Lore Mastery!

    If you were playing a wizard and, instead of being given arcane recovery you were given an arcane pool the same size as the sorcerer, that you can only use to create spell slots, would you feel it was a nerf or an upgrade to the wizard? Now, if you add to this pool the possibility to do...
