Interestingly, the Eberron book talks about how adventurer-level spells like fireball aren't ideal for military use. Battlefield items and spells generally go for large areas and much lower damage, because you're using them against 10 hp soldiers and 4hp conscripts.

If guns are just another weapon, why would you need a "gun artificer"? Why would they be distinct from a "dagger artificer" or a "spear artificer"? He does note that that is how he would do it only if you absolutely have to introduce guns into Eberron. But yes, artificers have a place in any...

Part of the reason that the party can "blow though them" is probably because you are having so few encounters a day: It allows them to go all out nova. Making the encounters deadly won't make things harder for the party as much as adding more encounters, or at least making them multi-stage to...

Gnomes are often thought to have a mystical outlook, but they have a less aloof, more curious and enthusiastic nature. Are they suitable non-elf-like for your purposes?

Ah. Are you starting confusion over number of hands needed Tetrasodium? If you're under the impression that, for example, swapping to and from crossbows and greatswords to make attacks in a single round is equivalent to casting a spell with a somatic component, that could explain a lot. A...

I don't generally worry too much about CR calculations, but I have had to look at the number of encounters the party may run into and gauge who will be running on empty at this point, and who will be able to contribute more.

I'm missing something. Why would you need to sheathe or drop your weapon to cast a spell? You can make somatic components with one hand: you don't need both.

It is an interesting idea, but dropping from full casting to half casting is generally a big step down in power. How does your bladesinger compare with the standard bladesinger or a fighter of equivalent level for example?

Are you talking about whether players can play a character who is a half-orc, or whether there should be separate rules for half-orcs as a specific race? Those are two different questions. Between Tasha's customising your origin option, or just deciding which parent you take after and using...

Artificers sacrifice quite a bit of power compared to Rangers, and very much so compared to Paladins. Why do you believe that their access to cantrips was not takin into account for the class power budget? I mean if you take into account the way Lay on Hands covers healing that would otherwise...

It really isn't odd. A half-caster would be one of the worst solutions to implement this concept. WotC probably spotted this as well. A warrior-type that enhances attacks with magic would probably want to to that regularly, at least almost every round. A helf-caster does not have the slots to...

Maybe due to darkvision, dwarves don't really pay much attention to colour. What they're really interested in is texture. Anyone can mix up some paint and slap it around, but it takes dedication and patience to use just the right weave, or file at just the right angle to make a garment or stone...

What do the ace and aro elves do during the Revelry?

Bonuses from the same source don't stack. So two Bless spells, even from different casters will not stack. However a Bless spell and a Boldness Elixir (which does the same thing) will stack. Likewise two Rings of Protection will not stack, but a Ring of protection and a Cloak of Protection will...

I would regard the spell as effectively doing multiple things. Its not that you can't attack/target the caster because you regard them as a friendly acquaintance. Its that the spell makes you regard them as a friendly acquaintance and does not let you attack/target them as a separate effect.

I suppose the obvious choice for Advanced TWF is to allow more than one attack in the TWF bonus action, based on the number of Extra Attack levels you have. Or remove the bonus action and make the additional attacks part of your actual Attack Action.

There may be a little push-back about calling it the Elven Pride flag rather than the Elven LGBTQ+ Flag. Pride in our world originates from riots and demonstrations of LGBTQ+ against a society that refused to recognise them, or even actively discriminated against them. Even where the parades are...

In the context of that conversation, being able to do one thing very well (in this case, the Actor feat) can head off the requirement for combat where you need to actually start rolling and relying on the vagaries of the d20. And if neither is your primary ability score, it can be worth trading...

Do you mean "Cannot use the finesse property on a weapon" whilst in heavy armour? Or are you talking about knights not actually being able to use daggers? In my experience, the party is usually pushing close to Tier 3 before they start being able to buy plate armour. Monetary value is a little...

If there were martial classes with varied tactical options in combat, and interesting features allowing them to contribute out of combat, which scale with tier, then I think that the majority of people pointing out issues with the Fighter class would be happy with those. Then the fighter can be...
