Quick opinion on classes in the spell description: I like it too. I find it to be an easier reference when reading a spell than looking at class lists to see which classes access a particular spell. Conjure Elemental seems far better than Cloud of Daggers as a similarly conjured stationary...

The change to conjure spells seems odd to me. I would have to play with them an see how it feels in play. The initial impression is losing summoning spells. I'm on board with the change to those healing spells. They're currently a poor use of a spell slot and I tend to rarely use them. The...

Open casket funerals are normal so we can see the deceased person and say our goodbyes. That common practice is very much about looking at "a corpse" and remembering the person. The reason I used "a corpse" in quotations is because this is how we dehumanize a person within our language...

Possible content warning regarding the prison system. Enough on that topic. If nothing else, it demonstrates perspective is relevant. ;-)

Wow, this thread went off topic since the last time I looked at it. I'm not going to go into a lot of posts on the topic but wanted to point a few things out. The first thing I want to address is the irony of not using trigger or content warnings and spoilers given some of the comments that...

Specific runes would need to be worked out. I like the subclass and concept but the number of choices seems limited and could be expanded. I would change the levelgating to a minor rune, lesser rune, greater rune, master rune at each subclass level and give one of each of those rune types to...

Rune Knight, but add more rune choices.

It's because we still cannot take a long rest whenever we want. We get one in any given 24 hour period so the only thing left is short rests. There should not be an issue with pacing an hour into the day as opposed to a completely new day. The long rest is representative of the over night...

Which is what happens. The difference between 5e and older editions pre 4e is that the rituals and at-will abilities such as cantrips allow spell casters to continue to be spell casters in the absence spamming spell slots. Spell casters have spells for when they need them if they conserve...

That would have been a good approach. Bards are popular in my groups from 2e up. I play them a lot and other players who have played with me start playing them too. Because bards are fun. I've been in groups with 3 or 4 bards. I think it'll be the DMG. I thought we were getting 4...

Bladesinger is an example of an issue where for some reason someone decided giving more to wizards was important. Personally, I think it's okay to have difference levels of combat vs magic in gish-type classes/subclasses but the wizard, a class so obviously focused on magic, is the last class I...

It's a class based game. Wizards cast spells and fighters might cast a few depending on subclasses, feats, or multiclassing. The idea that because one class can do something another class should also seems silly to me. Because the classes are based on tropes. Teleporting fighters isn't...

I'm on board with the idea the wizards are often over-rated while people complain about other arcane spell casters but wizards don't "suck". Many of the subclasses aren't interesting and I can see that concern, but as an arcane caster they have the largest spell list, best ritual mechanics, and...

I have taken skilled on a fighter. I don't usually because bounded accuracy makes it worthwhile to use skills without proficiency as a feat cost, but I have done it. The 5.24-UA5 fighter using the UA1 backgrounds starts with a feat and has the 1st bonus feat earlier with better benefits than...

You and I don't have the larger sample. WoTC does. What you have is conjecture based around your opinion. You and I can't speak for WotC. That's conjecture based around your opinion. That's what makes it an outlier or one-off. If it wasn't an outlier or one-off WotC would see that in the...

That's not how samples and quality control work. We're talking about the law of large numbers here. A person might see a small sample that violates the minimum quality guidelines and do a deeper dive, but that individual 1/10 in such a small sample means nothing when the larger representation...

I can appreciate that concept very much. The easiest is converting hit points or hit dice to sorcerer points somehow. For example, taking an action to burn a hit dice an regain a sorc point. Good use outside of combat at the expense of healing, possible during combat with significant action...

I'm still going to push for it in the feedback.

WIS and CHA are the default casting stats. INT is the variant. I don't see an issue maintaining that but I also liked the warlock selecting a casting stat related to pact. Bards and sorcerers selecting the wizard, cleric, or druid spell list is also something I plan to continue pushing for...

I disagree. My playstyle of warlock did not change because I rely on invocations regardless. Those provide spell like abilities to supplement spells. Eldritch blast does nothing more than damage without investing more invocations that I would rather use elsewhere. I can use a spell or two...
