My D&D game is more house rules than rules, but we aren't the "average" gamer for whom marketing and design is focused on.

That's good; as long as it isn't convoluted

So, this finally arrived today 2 days late from Amazon (but they did warn me) Overall, this is is a big trainride, and while the stages concept is fun, the players are just a long for the ride. To be fair, WHFRP suffers form the same effect, and this is essentially "An enemy within" subplot...

basically, will wizard/sorcerer be legal ... thinking not

"Free" .. You mean "0 cost". ... :)

You say hat like its a good thing. There should be a determination of what is a class and what isn't, and clearly there isn't if the grab-bag arcanist (Mage) is anything to go by

Ok, but the rules clearly state they are spells, so I guess spells without a level... Good to see rules lawyering alive and well in Next :)

Wait... +3 longswords at 7th level....I want to play :) Actually, reminds me of one of my favorite characters in 1e, Half-Elf Ranger Arias Woodfriend, had +3 frost brand by 8th... Used it mainly to put out fires caused by the Magic-User...(that character also burned a wish to allow him to...

Agreed. I have some differentiation in weapons, like Light Blade, Heavy Blade, Heavy Blade - Great, but that's all daggers, shortswords, longswords, rapiers, two handed swords, even poleaxes. I'm also to the point were i do have weapon feats that make weapons better (yeah feat tax....) but the...

Great information. So the Mage is now the grab-bag arcanist, while we have 5 classes for swinging a stick. The only way I an make sense of this (and its not a bad idea) is that it reflects the inherent dichotomy of the complexity of the class. Picking a stick swinger is a two step choice...

I like the muted colors, even the Mage in purple (where in medieval times purple was a royal and expensive color); but I can d without the green lantern mask and the oversize armor on our fighter/paladin

I wasn't being snarky, I literally have 7 "you have been quoted" emails and I can't actually follow what the reply is ;) Re pacts. I'm with you on this. I think flavor should not be explicit, let the DM decide what the "power of the stars" means

With favored foe = poacher :)

I appreciate focusing in part on a group that is most likely to break the system, but there is much of a system to have mastery over. I am concerned by the "we will invite posters from the char op boards" ... Future tense,... Are you frigging kidding me? It feels like the end of the public...

variant Do me a favor,stop making changes to your post after you've been responded to, just continue in a separate post, thanks. To answer the additions to your post, I've no idea what the artificer subclass will look like, so I can't answer. My point is, if there are going to be multiple...

Point is, if you are going to significant differences, like spell tables, then just have different classes. There s supposed to be mechanical as well as thematic connections in the class.

Late getting back, sorry. True, but the "spells per day" and "cantrips" are structural features of the class table; deviations from that is essentially a new class, or should be. To design around that is IMO convoluted for a class base system.

At which point it is not a Mage variant, which is preparation with at will limited to cantrips

Yes, yes, and yes... It's narrative authority, but gods help you if you lose it and try to influence other gnomes, or those with gnome-lore

Sorry, missed that; yes it is. The initial idea was introduced in 3.5, called reserve feats; if you have a spell available (say fireball) you could at-will cast a spell (like 2d6 damage) ... in 5e, way too late. I love at will magic, an 6 years into my homebrew its been an option (been using...
