You're right about the level 10 power as well, although I don't see it as egregious as the 14th level. I don't see how you can look at the three 14th level capstones next to each other and clearly see 'One of these things is not like the others'. Interestingly Hurl through Hell is just...

You are completely correct about the denotation of 'errata'. However, for someone who followed WOTC's approach with 4e, it is reasonable to accept WOTC's own definition of 'errata'. WOTC used the term extensively to apply to things which were not publication errors, but flawed game elements. As...

I like the class overall, but I agree on the weakness of the Fey Pact features, especially the 14th level feature. I keep reading it over and over waiting for it to make sense. A shame because the Fey Pact Warlock was my go to build in 4e.

Wow! My bad, and I actually (called myself) checking the PHB before I posted that. Apologies to 771M.

My feelings exactly. Of all the classes, it is least clear what the heck the warlock is supposed to do. I think it's fairly clear that the warlock is an in combat damage dealer, and a utility/face character outside of combat. There's just a LOT of flexibility in how you can approach it. I'd...

I really like them so far. Their are very diverse in terms of roles. I think warlocks will usually be Cha/Dex the (IMO) best Interaction/Exploration stats. There's a natural strength in the utility roles which can be further buttressed via Invocations choices or Chain and Tome packs. Still the...

I really like it. I would suggest that Fey Spellcaster go more like: "You may choose one target of your illusion or enchantment spells to have disadvantage on their first saving throw." I'd suggest this simply because it allows for a simpler language and avoids ambiguity where a spell has...

I love this concept. This is exactly what the Sorcerer needs as far as I'm concerned. That said on the mechanics. I think you push too much in the Fey = nature direction. I'd like to see more Illusion and Enchantment based bennie's as another posted already suggested. Also I think opening up the...

I think you interpreted my disagreement on 3, as a disagreement on 1 and 2. Also there is a question of conflating fighter with mundane, which, in this edition, is plainly not the case. As to the goals above, removing arms and such, we again disagree. I think a 20th level Champion can kill...

I'm not making a definitive argument (hence the 'I do believe'), but for a cleric in particular, concentration is incredibly limiting. There are only a couple of concentration free buffs you can lay out, and then it's one buff per combat (depending on saves). I disagree on saves I think the...

Again, I did not make a point about balance, and tend to agree with the OP on balance. But balance doesn't require mythic fighter, it simply requires casters whose power level is commensurate with WHATEVER level of max power for the Fighter. Those are two entirely separate points. Example. I...

I tend to agree with OP that they missed the mark on equalizing the mundanes to the full casters. However, I do believe that they have created the weakest full casters in D&D at least since AD&D and possible ever. (and in my AD&D experiences groups always house ruled away most of the limits that...

The Fighter design goals only define the fighter relative to other classes, and my point did not address that. I tend to agree with the OP on that count. On PHB p15: How is this inconsistent with what I said? The fate of the world depends on the actions of the Fellowship, and the fighters are...

The personal experience question is irrelevant. The game designer has to decide what max-level means. For a fighter developers could take the 4e approach and say that max-level fighter yields a Heracles demigod experience. In 5e the developers clearly decided that max-level would be more of a...

Good math, I stand corrected.

Playing basic GW fighter, I'm finding I wish I had good initiative. It's very useful to be able to move first into melee range to both set up the rogue and to limit movement towards the squishies via threatened OA. If I go fighter again I'm probably going to go Dex based TWF just for that reason.

Emphasis on 'single element'. If you're Evoker spreads damage around the elements it won't be worthwhile, but if you're building a focused pyromancer, this is a very good feat. For that build it's effectively double damage 5%-10% of the time, using your initial guesses. That was exactly my...

There are definitely feats which are very strong for particular build, i.e. GWF for a GW Champion Fighter or Elemental Adept for a single element focused Evoker Wizard. I'm fine with that. What I don't want to see (in less than 48 hours!!!) is a high percentage a feats which are not strong for...

I'd like to see wizards in DDN limited in three specific ways: 1) Spell Effect limitations. The developers seem to have already taken this to heart. Save or screwed spells have hard hit point limits that seem like they will make it difficult to dominate all encounters, especially encounters...
