What level is the party?

"Spellcasting" is also a class feature.

Maybe. ? There is nothing in those rules that say that having a Climb speed foregoes the need to make a check to successfully climb a surface. - Just that it doesn't cost extra movement. If a druid turns into a spider and wants to walk along the wall, but the DM doesn't want them to, the DM can...

There was more in Exploring Eberron, with details of a lot of the special items used in the war, and a sidebar about the scale of damage. Eberron, while it has very wide magic, is a fairly low-power, PC-centric setting: Most of the war was fought between normal humans with 4hp or trained...

If no one else has mentioned it already, Eberron has gone into a certain amount of detail about war in that setting. It makes the point that fireball isn't actually a good spell for war use, since it has a high level, small area and deals way more damage than is necessary to kill 4HP conscripts...

There is nothing special about the construction of the katana that grants it Finesse. Even compared to the german messers (knives) with whom they share similarities in design and usage, they are fairly short and blade-heavy. If you want your character who can't jump over their lunch box and has...

Interesting, but can you make a Warlock that has more engaging things to do during combat than repeatedly Eldritch Blast?

I certainly might allow a caster of Wish who has lost it through casting stress to regain it as an Epic Boon.

I would expect the Campion should be on the higher end of Fighter damage, given that will have less utility and tactical capabilities than most others. The damage increase compared to Barbarian seems about right. The Barbarian should be using Retaliation regularly, and have the edge in toughness...

BBEGs and similarly threatening creatures aren't trivialised by a bit of extra damage on a single occasion. Legendary resistance isn't there to reduce fireball damage by a little either. It is to prevent trivialising of the encounter by removing the creature as a viable threat due to a...

Do you honestly believe that anyone is suggesting that they do? Not only is a caster much more likely to take longer during their action simply deciding what they want to do by virtue of many more options than a martial, but those actual actions tend to take longer to resolve. No I'm sure that...

Make it Concentration. ;)

Hang on, doesn't the Moon Druid already get a specific special ability to let them Push or knock prone opponents as part of their animal form attacks?

I have no idea. I'm responding to the question of how good the new warlock is as a caster class. If you can find someone in this thread arguing that the warlock should be as good a caster as a wizard, feel free to ask them? You still have not explained what you mean by "cherry picking". I was...

Indeed. This reinforces my point that having a spell that they can cast that happens to be at the same level as the slots that an equivalent-level wizard has, does not make the Warlock any-where near as good a caster as the Wizard (a full caster.)

As crippled as Warlock Mystic Arcanum is compared to actual spellcasters, it is still going to be pretty hard to optimise a warlock without mystic Arcanum. High-level spells are the most powerful and capable class abilities in the game. If they are on the table, all other invocations are going...

Sounds more like a Ranger or actually Barbarian thing. Definitely wouldn't have an issue with a class that focuses on fighting while partially or fully shapeshifted. That might be an interesting entry into playing more monstrous characters.

Could you give a timestamp please? I watched the video and I can't see it. I generally have a lot of time for Chris, but his mocking dismissal of the issue that a number of us see without apparently understanding it was disappointing. I'm aware that he might just be reacting to youtube comments...

Probably not. Mastery seems to be intended to be what separates dedicated martial characters from the other characters able to fight in melee despite also being full spellcasters etc. (And yes, there should have been a sweepstakes going for "How long after the Fighter Getting Nice Things do the...

Are there any classes that couldn't perform those feats, all else being equal? Fighters are the most representative of the martials' issues: Lack of interesting and tactical things to do in combat. Lack of capability out of combat etc. The other martials most definitely have the same issues...
