I am of the firm belief that fluff and mechanics can be separated. I saw this and was curious if I could reflavor a path into a martial one, rather than a magical one. I used the Path of Ancient Spirits as my muse. Path of the Stone Smasher Like David in his battle with the giant, some...

Thank's for the quote. For what it's worth, that game ended up being Wild West Clockpunk Horror.

Honestly, I would talk to them and just directly say, "you say you want this, but when I do it, I get to the impression that it's not. Can we talk about what we really want from a campaign?" For my group, we one time decided to go around the table giving one word each which symbolized what they...

I agree with you as a DM, for what it's worth, but your players don't seem to care about consequence. They wanted the xp and that was it. You gave them a great story, moral quandry, and a believable character and setting. They scoffed. It sounds to me that your players want a different game...

I am, overall, very pleased with the book. I've had it less than eight hours and have already had numerous ideas for storylines. That to me is a sign that it is well done. I feel the intention was to spark the imagination in new ways, and this is the way to do it. I didn't, however, have...

My current character, Alysaaria, is a Half-Dark Elf Entertainer Ancients Dex Paladin, Level 10, Actor, Defensive Duelist. At least that's what she is now. She has been a number of other classes, races, and genders based on which personality had to exist at the time. Celeste was an assassin...

I'm a little confused, Zardnaar. In the sub-optimal class thread, you have mentioned that you get upset if someone is bringing a suboptimal character to your table. Yet here, you are saying that these two feats are over-powered and broken and need to be changed. So, it appears as if you are...

My group is obviously quite different from yours, with a very diffent playstyle. This then leads to YMMV, as the feats appear to be broken in your group. But after 30 years of DMing, I may have developed different techniques to handle these sorts of situations, rather than resorting to the...

Thank you for taking the time to write this. Your analysis does present a worse case scenario of the usage of these two feats. However, I have an opinion on how to resolve this issue that does not require altering the feats in question. In fact, a have already used this solution in my own games...

He said nothing about optimizing! You just don't really want any help. That's the only thing I can come up with now. Good luck with your sorcerer.

Personally, I find the most terrifying Undying Patron to be an Aboleth. Think about that. They could also be the Undrying Patron

I would say you go with the MM on page 238 and treat them as half-ogres. The reason being is that now humans, hobgoblins, bugbears, OR orcs can give birth to a strapping baby Ogrillon, and they just happen to be hardier stock this edition. Once you take on a few levels of spell casting on the...

Okay, I don't think it means what you think it means. n. used in reference to the phenomenon whereby a computer-generated figure or humanoid robot bearing a near-identical resemblance to a human being arouses a sense of unease or revulsion in the person viewing it. Oh yes, let's imagine...

It's uncanny the depths the OP will go to prove... something. I still don't quite understand what is trying to be conveyed. The OP wants Sorcerers to do everything a Wizard can do, but doesn't want to play a wizard. All Stop. It's baffling how pretzeled the argument has become.

Here's a list of sorcerer spells that are non-blaster: Cantrips: Blade Ward, Dancing Lights, Friends, Light, Mage Hand, Mending, Message, Minor Illusion, Prestidigitation, True Strike 1st Level: Charm Person, Comprehend Languages, Detect Magic, Disguise Self, Expeditious Retreat, False Life...

Each time I've seen you respond, I've come way with the same sense. Please correct me if I'm incorrect. You think the sorcerer is fine, but wish you could make it weaker to do the things you want to do without playing a wizard. Is that correct? I just get the sense that you want your cake and...

Halflings are never in my homebrews. I feel only one world should have them, and I don't run Tolkien.

That link wasn't working for me, but I did find this link... http://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/dnd/UA_Battlesystem.pdf

Have you tried building your own archetype that allows to create what you want?
