Make the damage once per enemy per turn. Give it a niche of it being more effective when attacking multiple enemies.

Divine Smite is still better guaranteed damage on a crit. It's also, at that level of spell slot, still better guaranteed damage on a normal hit against a fiend or undead (and fiends tend to resist fire, so even moreso them).

I'd just make Eldritch Smite a bonus action like the rest of them. Easier that way and matches the clear design intent for all other smites.

3e's Paladin was one of the most ineffective classes in D&D history.

Absolutely not.

Devotion and Vengeance will be doing that lot more with regularity.

Or even try to justify it.

The BG3 version is overpowered and boring BS that does not need to be anywhere near this game.

That "something else" was Ultima. Which for that to happen, Larian would have to both (a) buy the rights to the Ultima series as a whole from Electronic Arts, and (b) either get permission for or buy the rights to the certain elements of Ultima that Richard Garriott still owns. As a fan of...

More like, NO BETTER SMITES AND STEEDS THAN THE PALADIN FOR YOU! And I couldn't be happier.

They were absolute trash, though.

I'd most likely lead off with the conjure spell, but otherwise that's the general idea.

So that I can use my 5th-level spell slots for something better than simply keeping up my damage baseline. It does appear to work out that way, yes. From that D&D Beyond article, you have 6 free castings of it by level 17, which means at that point you likely won't even have to spend any...

Depending on initiative order, other melee enemies might catch up with and mob your new position before your turn and bonus-action dash come up, and you're right back in the same sticky situation you started in. And there's also the question of, if my Rogue uses mainly ranged attacks, what was...

No, it is not. The Scout Rogue's level 3 feature is a reaction that hardly ever gets used because Uncanny Dodge is better 99% of the time. You can't even move away until the enemy has finished its turn next to you (not just moved, but taken its whole turn). Which means you very likely got...

So, a feature you wouldn't have the chance to use much to begin with, and even if you had the chance to, it still likely wasn't tactically better than just using your regular attack twice on one enemy. Yeah, that was exactly the problem with 2014 Volley. It really won't be missed. And it's...

In terms of raw numbers against 3 or more targets, sure. But that doesn't tell the whole story when you consider that it's typically better in practice to focus down one enemy with multiple attacks than to spread them out, since you want to kill at least one target faster. 2014 Multiattack's...

I mean, it's better than 2014. Better in some ways than Tasha's, worse in others. Will probably be a decent mid-tier class power-wise despite itself (which even the 2014 version was, really). Spell changes will be key for this Ranger. If its "smite" equivalents lose the concentration then...

I'm so sorry that by far the most powerful and versatile class in the game remains by far the most powerful and versatile class in the game, but gained less in those departments than you wanted.

Treantmonk is actually the one who sounded the alarm on the playtest Warlock being overtuned.
