If a player ever wants to, though no one has taken me up on this offer yet, I have some custom materials that let you, with some investment, dual-wield greatswords ala FromSoft games. Hopefully a player will one day go into combat against me with two greatswords, one in each hand.

Yes but, unlike Push, it requires a saving throw. I think Push, Nick, Sap, and Cleave are the best masteries at the moment; Push has great synergy with Emanation effects, Nick opens up combo turns where you juggle your weapons the most, Sap is very useful just generally, and Cleave just feels...

A lot of people are really focusing too much on the math, which is an amateur mistake in game design. What matters is the feel more so than the math, with the math still being important of course, but the feel has to be "right." Great Weapon Master: When you make an attack with a Melee weapon...

I don't believe in player expectations when it comes to monsters. If players what a rote experience every time they face a monster, they should play a board game instead. TTRPGs are games of human creativity; they are, by design, meant for us to tinker with.

I agree, another year of playtesting would have been perfect

These sound sick, would have loved an adventure anthology about them.

There is a table for all feats and what category of feat they are (General, Origin, Fighting Style, Epic Boon) but the table does not include a description of each feat.

Stranger Things especially gets a lot of credit for doing almost nothing. The monsters share a name but are vastly different, the only D&D they play is some ancient stuff people only've heard of on Enworld and Dragon's Foot, and I've literally never had a new player tell me they got into D&D...

Hire me and my godlike vision to lead the company on a thousand year voyage of prosperity.

I consider new problems for old problems to be inevitable. My concern is if there are fewer problems or a better experience. Note I said in my post that criticisms are valid.

I said in that very same post that WotC had stupid methods. Dont crop my post trying to start an argument man.

Covid was orders of magnitude bigger for D&D than the other two things combined.

If you think about it, that cuts to the heart of my post too. Nice.

This is the greatest irony of the whole thing to me. People were so eager to point out all these MASSIVE flaws in the new ideas that they just shot them down and went back to the old. It didn't have to be this way, and if people were more measured in their feedback and actually thought about the...

They always win because the problems brought up online are usually (not always, just usually) not that deep. Having read through the 2024 PHB handbook myself now, I can say a lot of the stuff people are bringing up is second-hand nonsense and isn't that serious. Two Weapon Fighting is fine, most...

Honestly you could just halve the damage but at that point I think dropping the modifier is smoother. Mathematically what you're really trying to do is shave about 2-3 damage off the attack (since that's what's relevant before 4th level with Dual Wielder). If your extra attack is with a short...

Mearls suggested on patreon that dropping the damage die a step ir two would be a cleaner solution. Thoughts?

This is a terrible comparison. These games are different by orders of magnitude. Its like comparing Knave and PF2E lol

I would love to run an antihero game for these classes. Good review!

I don't know who necro'd this thread or why but I curse you and I curse everyone who has posted in this long-dead place too.
