    D&D 5E New D&D WotC survey! On classes.

    I think I've run for six bards in this edition and have only seen one of them play an instrument. The rapier is far more ubiquitous than playing music (which makes sense for every class in 5e that only has light armor proficiency.) That being said, I think the way it's written bardic...

    Level Up (A5E) Should AD&D5E remove simple/martial weapon category as exotic weapons were removed from 5E?

    Looking at normal 5e my weapon system goes: -Base D6 damage, any type Raise the Die-Size: -2-handed (or Versatile when wielded in 2-hands) -Heavy -Martial -Loading Lowers the Die-Size: -Light -Reach -Ammunition Limiters: -Heavy must be 2-handed -Light must be 1-handed -Finesse must be...

    D&D 5E PHB Humans are the most mechanically boring race. How do we fix this?

    Just had this conversation with my group a few days ago. We focused on evolutionary traits that separated humans from other animals so there's no way to tell whether a fantasy species would have these. The big human advantages in no particular order are: Tool Use: Can't make this the prime...

    D&D 5E Can your Druids wear metal armor?

    Happy 100, I see no consensus has been reached!

    D&D 5E Spear houserule

    This seems like it should not be the problem but the goal of spears. Letting big lines of untrained people double-up. However, my personal fix is just upping spears to d8/d10 if the user has Martial weapon proficiency. No problem with it as of yet. Originally we considered a possible issue of...

    D&D 5E Giving the arcane gish an identity.

    Though it is falling out of favor as a name nowadays I feel like "Witch Hunter" is appropriate. I would say "Mage Slayer" as an alternative but that's a feat I think. Vanguard sounds pretty good, really as long as the theme is elements a lot of things could work. I like battlemage but a 3/4th...

    D&D 5E Giving the arcane gish an identity.

    <Arcane lance> <Blazing pursuit> <Silverlight strike> Basically all questions are answered as "Trying to emulate the 4e version," but yeah, I might add some damage to Silverlight.

    D&D 5E Giving the arcane gish an identity.

    I think the "Psychic Warrior" is definitely something this class could cover, but while I'm gonna keep calling it 'Jedi' this is most likely gonna be like gith warriors (I mix up the yanki and zerai) since 5e loves tying its flavor to setting stuff.

    D&D 5E Giving the arcane gish an identity.

    So going from the list above I'm gonna try and write a Battlemage spell for each level. These would be on the Battlemage list, Wizard list (to not leave out EK and Bladesinger), and maybe divided amongst some other spell lists depending on flavor. All spells have no Verbal component, a Somatic...

    D&D 5E Giving the arcane gish an identity.

    Gonna try my hand at making a list because I think a lack of a spell list is the biggest thing holding the class design back. Looking at already-made weapon/martial-feel spells we have (this list will be incomplete, feel free to comment on spells I miss), not including utility spells since...

    D&D 5E Giving the arcane gish an identity.

    -I live to serve. -Thank you for the compliment, I thought it would be better to have one written up if we were gonna theorycraft. However, in writing it the name was a hurdle. I do think the name should be a single word rather than two words. Spellsword and Swordmage both sound good (Spellsword...

    D&D 5E Giving the arcane gish an identity.

    The class would still have its 3rd, 4th, and 5th level spells to be your novas, but the problem is when a nova ability becomes the optimal ability. The Paladin 'must' Divine Smite the boss because if there is a boss then Divine Smite is far and away the best increase to single-target damage just...
