    D&D 5E UA: "Greyhawk" Initiative

    One rule I've used to get the feel of speed factor without the complexity is light weapon attacks use a d6, regular weapon attacks use a d8 and heavy weapons use a d10. This applies to melee and range. As for bonus actions, they are reduced by a single die step. Those fix my issues with the...

    Absolutely, you are 100% correct. My apologies.

    If it's so explicit, everyone would agree on exactly how to change it. Also, if we are posting based on merit alone, this would have one post (the original) and nothing else. But, hey, if you think posts criticizing me for posting a critique of this classes damage somehow hold some kind of...

    I like the passive aggressive digs at my points. Good use of politely dropped descriptors ("aggressive," "side issue," "point less," and "irrelevant") to pretend you are being polite when are actually being the opposite. Keep on trolling, brother.

    This thread is as much about sharing opinions as anything. You don't like mine, so you are questioning the validity of my comment. That is pretty low. I dont see you telling the fans of this class to stop gushing about it and start posting play reports. Anywho, I will be allowing a nerfed...

    Yup, we all know this. This is why we are posting in this thread.

    You quoted poorly. I said I do not play with feat or multiclassing optional rules. I stated that "poorly designed optional rules" (like this class, incidentally) are bad and create imbalances. This does not mean that I am against optional rules in general. The DMG has plenty of great optional...

    I didnt say it gets both. I said it can aoe and single target with both at will (not per rest, at will, all day, infinite). That is a pretty big boon for a variety of reasons. The damage numbers are simply too high for a class with this much flexibility. A ranged warlock, whose spell list is...

    So, again, a very specific archetype who fights in a very specific way, might be almost comparable (but still worse) to this broken class at level 13/14 (AT cant aoe nearly as much as this guy, lol, oh man). The other archetypes and most warlocks are just screwed but thats ok, I guess? Also, we...

    That is a fallacy. A rogue who uses his bonus action to have a better shot at getting his damage at range (after burning a feat - assuming those are even allowed - AND assuming he has an ally near the enemy) loses his mobility (cunning action) thanks to using up his bonus action. The same is...

    Not all of us play with feat or multiclassing optional rules (as described in official game materials). Yes, when playing with optional rules that create powergamey combos, the game breaks apart and things may change (this is true of every rpg ever). However, playing the game as designed without...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana Introduces The Artifcer

    Its a poor list because in actual play this would outclass a rogue or warlock. A few reactive abilities do not make up for flexible, consistent aoe or single target damage. Also a ranged rogue also has 1 chance on its damage can pull it off less consistently. This guy is getting infinite...

    Its a poor list. This outclasses both the rogue and the warlock easily. They should keep alchemist as the utility guy not as the damage guy with a robotic dinosaur.

    Swashbuckler needs to be in melee and gets no aoe

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana Introduces The Artifcer

    Its not balanced at all because the gunsmith is broken too. Its rogue sneak attack (close analogue) without the need for a distracting ally plus an aoe he can do plus a cr2 pet plus magic plus magic items plus crazy utility. Its broken. The cunning action, evasion, etc doesnt come close to...

    I dunno, the cleric domains were fine. The barb archetypes were fine. This thing is not balanced at all

    This thing is crazy OP. Even if you took the servant and made it a familiar at 6 (or took ot away entirely) its too good. The rogue needs to have a party member within 5' and only gets single target. These guys get single target or splash to whatever at will for high damage. Wth? And good...

    Build Questions (Mystic Ranger)

    Hey folks, I got a Rob Stark mini that looked pretty cool and it inspired me to make a tanky guy with a wolf buddy. I settled on a guy with 1 Mystic Ranger level (picking up Wild Cohort for the wolf and Able Learner so I can continue to invest in Handle Animal and other ranger skills as I...

    Incarnate Avatar

    Can a Lawful Neutral Totemist pick up and use the Evil version of Incarnate Avatar via a feat? Or would it need to get the Lawful version? Thanks!
