ahh fair enough. thanks for the clarification

Well I mean it's kind of bad to opt to not buy something because the creator has no track record of producing anything. New creators are a thing. That said being wary of those creators and their products is completely justified.

oh yeah. there are exceptions to every weird homebrewed rule. In regards to wildshaping. What I would do is make that a series of feats. Since Druid does have class features that kick in later you can crib slightly less powerful versions of those. So, just spitballing here, you could say do...

Or at the very least the opportunity and means to create a viable one of their own.

I would contend that 5E in general needs more variety of spells from each school. Some more than others.

Absolutely, which is what I ended up doing. Always been an ardent believer that dungeons should have some sort of explainable ecology even if the explanation is magic and given a large enough dungeon it makes sense to have factions, neutral npcs, and the like.

I'm currently running a home built mega dungeon (that's the extra dimensional library of a Lich) in my main campaign and it's very viable. For clarification the campaign is a 1 to 20th level one I wrote. The characters are currently 10th level and met when they were 2nd level (I ran an...

I love those feats since they're kind of like multi-classing light feats and think they should be included. I've had discussions with my players about this as some of them prefer the feat dip as opposed to level dip option and as such we've done some homebrewing. So when I look at classes I...

According to the Adventurer's Guide (under proficiencies, page 25) " If your character would gain the same proficiency from multiple areas, such as a heritage or cultural trait or class feature, they may instead choose a new proficiency of the same type (skill or tool)."

According to what I'm reading on the ENCOUNTER CR FOR DIFFERENT PARTY SIZES table (Trials and Treasures page 42) the encounter CR for that group should be 5 for an easy combat which matches the math on page 41. 10 would count as a Medium encounter. Also as @VenerableBede points out there is...

Robilar Van Winkle?

I had mentioned in another thread that this makes me wonder about the fate of the Sorcerer/Wizard. So if WOTC uses the same method for all previously spontaneous casters (Bards, Sorcerers, Warlocks, Rangers) that means all of those classes can now daily prepare any spell from their spell list as...

That's too bad. Some of my favorite characters I've played have been bards. But then again I rarely play into the trope of the horny bard.

As a veteran player with other vet players in my group can confirm this applies to us. The current ranger just doesn't feel the same, which is a shame. It used to be one of my favorite classes.

oh I agree. I'm already going to update it for my regular game. just curious on how it'll ripple out

So Barkskin is basically the same as heroism is now. I wonder if either will change on finalization.

They don't actually have the spell spelled out in the UA.

Agreed. Give them something that allows healing as an ability. They can flavor it however they like, but it doesn't have to be magic.

So thought about the new spellcasting for the bard and how it could affect the sorcerer and wizard. The new bard can effectively prepare spells from the "bard list" (Arcane spells from appropriate schools plus magical secrets spells) and doesn't have a spells known list. Effectively the Bard's...

exactly. I know some tables hand wave exploration, but honestly some of my best gaming memories are exploration challenges/encounters
