to quote from the Complete Fighter's Handbook section "Warrior Kits and Multi-Class Characters" "These Warrior Kits are designed to add depth to a warrior-class character. But if the character is already multi-class (for example, an elf fighter-mage), he doesn't need any more depth. Therefore...

Are you planning on updating these as they release new material? I only ask because the bladesinger from the SCAG seems to be a much better millitant wizard archetype. The Purple Dragon Knight and the Thief builds would be useful too.

Well the spell rules say "disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends."

I was thinking of trying to make a little bit of a tomelock/bladelock hybrid by choosing Shillelagh and Greenfire Blade as two of my cantrips (3rd level with pact, and 4th level just in time for 5th level buff) what do people think? Not quite certain of my party (a lot of open table stuff with...

Well I'm definitely all for rolling for things, a wondrous item that at first seems "what the heck" becomes a very memorable moment later on in the game when used with ingenuity. I think I will just add a few rolls on the magic items table in each dungeon and keep the monetary treasure as is. I...

I think the best way to fix this, and the route I am sure they will go, is to make it an invocation that recharges on a long rest, or one of those 1/day shenanigans, probably with pact of the Chain as a prerequisite. As for "does it fit the fiend" Personally I hope they leave it up to the player...

I was wondering where the heck the conjure Demon spells were. I really do like that they made them "evil" to summon. I like the thought of deliberating running down my wizards spells only to have him presented with one of these as a scroll right before the big bad evil guy. I'm really having...

My players are getting a little grumpy about the lack of Magic Items in the Princes of the Apocalypse, and I kind of want to see how Magic Items play out in 5th edition. As the book is written I am only handing out magic scrolls that very few of my players can use. I could use some...

But I am curious to know how are people ACTUALLY using them. In Princes of the Apocalypse there are references to the factions, but there are no downtime rules (only for the league play game which takes place somewhere else) and there are no rules for awarding renown points throughout the game...

I also renamed the Emerald Enclave "the Old Faith" and one of my players said they were a "Knight of the Rose" so I folded any references to the Order of the Gauntlet and Lord's Alliance into "The Knights of the Rose."

I've been playing around with them a little bit in Princes of the Apocalypse. I wish the unlockable downtime activities were set, or at least we had a guide of how to make those up for our own campaign. With downtime activities written into the rules, and one of those being "gaining renown" is...

I love the idea of tidal wave vs. Fire Elemental making Steam Mephits! The magically conjured water combined with animate fire, makes total sense to me.

While running PoA my players came across a fire elemental which my Druid immediately responded to by casting Tidal Wave, and since I didn't fully read the rules on Fire Elemental then did it on the second round. If for each gallon of water it takes 1 pt of damage, and two tidal waves contained...

as for magical/non-magical transperency I think this should be a DM Option box. In a world with balanced psionics and magic it's a meaningful character choice. In a heavy magical world the occasional psionic creature that the Wizard is defenseless against is a memorable and exciting new...

This is exactly what I wanted! I love it. The concentration mechanic gets that sense of Luke lifting the x-wing out of the swamp. I kind of wish they pushed some of this to be repeated failed saves allowed you to move up the tree, to really sell the escalation mechanic, but I'm not certain it...

This is a great table, I was thinking of making a new random encounter table that featured extreme weather on it, help me remember and also I like random encounter tables to not have just combat encounters.

It would also be nice to have some sort of note about which elemental spells Elemental Monks could learn. Seems appropriate. I think an update of the tempest domain is totally in order, Shatter -> Warding Wind sleet storm -> tidal wave ice storm -> storm sphere insect plague-> control winds...

I don't think this is fair to 5th Edition. While they kept the Sorcerer and Warlock close to the chest, (both of which COULD have been Wizard subclasses easily) when they did release them which were much more different mechanically from the Wizard than the 4thE classes were from other similar roles.

I think one of the reasons the artificer needs it's own class is BECAUSE it has so many great archetype options. Arcane Trapsmith, Golem Forger, Battleforger, Eldritch-Bolter, hell even Runepriest could be thrown in there as ways to choose long range, pet, traps, or magic weapon maker (with an...
