What is it that you are hoping to achieve with a monk that Wildshapes? Some of the abilities like pack tactics or grapples as part of an attack are useful. But I don't know that the physical changes or damage make the monk that much better. And if you use multiattack, that technically doesn't...

77IM - Yea, you could go that route. I chose force damage intentionally, because if you are giving up the opportunity to make an attack, I feel like at least some of that damage should be harder to resist. And you could easily imagine the spell creating a field of force around a weapon, or...

5ekyu - Not trying to start an argument or come off disrespectfully. But I honestly don't see the thing that you are seeing. It would be helpful if you provide some concrete examples. So to my knowledge, most fighters only have access to Second Wind as a normal bonus action, which is only once...

5ekyu Your version runs into the same issue though. Rogues with access to this cantrip would always get their sneak attack. Fighters (not even just Eldritch Knights) would effectively get an unlimited lesser version of Action Surge, or put another way, a better version of Barbarian's Reckless...

Now there may be some individuals or builds that really like or even value True Strike. But for me, it's just terrible. Now I know this isn't the first thread to bring this up, and it certainly won't be the last. But after watching this video from the Animated Spell Book (found here...

Captain Panda - I appreciate the thoughtfulness of your second post. I could tell that your first post seemed to be a knee jerk reaction to my proposed changes, which is fine. I did not mean for my post to come off as mean or anything (though I certainly can see that it could be taken that way)...

First of all, I have codified my Wildshape adjustments at the DMsGuild Here: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/248228/Improving-Wild-Shape They are "Pay What You Want" so feel free to download it for free. I'm not sure if I have made any changes from what is presented above since it has been so...

Saulfire - Thanks buddy! I'm glad the rules are working for your table and you guys are having fun with it. Also, welcome to the forums!

I tend to find myself going nova more as I get older and play more. I think there are a few reasons for this. 1) You have cool abilities. Why wait to use them for threats that may never come? If you die in the fight/challenge you're in, then you don't need to worry for the fight/challenge...

Yoink! I have a few players to sick a pack of xenomorphs on.

To me, this seems too powerful for a cantrip. If you are set on making this a cantrip, I would include the following parameters: -Limited to beasts and humanoids -Requires Concentration -The caster needs to use their action to command the "puppet" and the puppet acts on the caster's turn -The...

I came into this thread very skeptical, but you did a very good job of integrating Ravnica concepts into Eberron. And that's coming from someone that isn't really a fan of Ravnica. But I would honestly adopt much of this. My only feedback would be regarding the Gruul Clans and Cult of Rakdos...

Cool. Good for you. Without having access to the D&D Beyond raw data or knowing what portion of the people have free versus paid content access, neither of us can answer this question. This is complete opinion and conjecture. Nothing you have said takes away from my logic or reasoning for my...

Yes, I already indicated it is a significant difference. But we also need to consider factors that contribute to that significance. Such as the additional cost to access the Hexblade, and the fact that the Fiend pact is the only pact available in the free D&D set. If we control for these...

Perhaps that is your table experience, but that does not extend to all tables. Per the D&D Beyond data, the Fiend is chosen significantly more than the Hexblade. However, the Hexblade is the second most chosen, and requires additional monetary investment by a player oe gaming table to access...

Perhaps this is a conversation for it's own thread, but the Hexblade is really OP if you compare it to other warlock options. Not only do you get a unique hex ability (which outright steals a portion straight from the Fiend patron), but on top get to use your best stat for melee. Why would...

Some initial thoughts: -Why not create one or more unique fighting styles that blend martial and arcane traditions. For example: Weapon & Wand Whenever you are simultaneously wielding a weapon amd an arcane focus, you deal +2 damage with weapons and cantrips. Staff Master You can use a...

Sure, but that would destroy a lot of the goodwill that WotC has built with its player base if they just steal from creators without any credit or compensation.

This is probably a discussion that warrant's its own thread, since I think it is beyond the scope of this thread. However, since you brought it up, those spells are certainly iconic. However, there is a difference between something being iconic, and something being a core aspect of that class's...
