Just for the sake of it, I tested it, and a wizard would make a fine ranger. True Strike + crossbow, take a origin feat for armor + shield or skilled for proficiency in rangery skills. Archetypes could be anything really. Focus on divination (locate x or mind spike) to track creatures and...

Interesting. I have a hankering to play an artisan, ideally spell-less, as my next character. Having actual rules for them would be nice. Just need to decide on the class.

Id make shield replicate the effect of a normal shield for 8h to go with your usual mage armor, with some added benefits. require no hands to hold. grants 1/2 cover instead of a static bonus (+2 AC and dex saves). blocks magic missile. I think that would be more in line with what a 1st level...

I prefer science fantasy myself, so medieval tropes with modern or futuristic elements. Final Fantasy 5/7/8/10/12/13/15 is way more my style than The Witcher or GoT

Maybe they made a spell out it, since it was shared with the druid as a feature. I would not mind that. Im warming up to the idea of this ranger. Still too reliant on vancian spellcasting instead of supernatural features, but Im getting there.

Disengage, block or report. Stop cluttering the thread with your child-like argument, please.

Id like the PHB only covered 1-10 heroic stage if the archetypes got ALL of their features within those 10 level. For the epic book, you could even let the class pick a prestige/paragon class aka a new, smaller archtype to cover the 1-2 features archetypes usually gain above 10th level. Like...

Any chance of this system hitting Kickstarter one day? Could mr. Mearls new job at Chaosium be a problem to publish something for another system on the side?

Dont know for sure yet. I feel 2024 characters have too much decision points to choose and resources to spend; too much button to press, in a sense. But I cant argue that some of those changes are most welcome. One things sure: I wont be mixing both version. Im the only non casual player at...

A Battlemaster with Riposte, Precise and Ambush + Know your enemy + free skill in stealth + Feat spent on Expertise: Survival, can be a decent spell less Ranger. Or a Champion + adv. on Athletics and Initiative + Feat: Mobile + expertise in suvival from another feat. When you add Skilled a lvl...

In my games, I recreated the Essence that allowed the 3.5 warlock to shape their Eldritch blast. Eldritch Strike: melee spell attack using a weapon. Eldritch Spear: 30 ft line Eldritch Doom: 15 ft sphere, deals necrotic damage. In the case of the OP, Id make it a 20 ft cone dealing Thunder...

Yeah, in my games with PHB only I let them change terrain after a long rest AND while in their favored terrain, I let the ranger: Cast without components switch favored foe after long rest switch spells after long rest gain advantage on athletic check Favored foe also comes with advantage on...

The thing I lament the most is the lack of the thematic elements such as favored terrain and foes. They were barely ribbons, but if you gave 2 choices at 1st level and the option to retrain them after a long rest, it made a some flavorful thematic options. IMO, way more than "hunter's mark: the...

Im working on streamlined 5e classes by removing ever increasing stats and the accumulation of new features at each level. Instead I pilfer from all published features to gather those I find the most iconics to build a light little package.

I like the rangers capstone from C7's Adventure in Middle Earth: Against your favored foes, you did not roll for damage, you just take the maximize all your damage dice.

I migth suggest 2 things here: - use one of the version of Middle Earth for 5e (Cubicle 7 or Free League) as your base system, even if you dont use Middle Earth as a setting. The classes are way less heroic than base 5e ( FL version only goes to 10th level). It also has detailed rules for...

Care to post a short comparison between the 2?

It does seem weaker overall than 2014+Tasha. I guess it is to content the multitude asking for a nerfed ranger. Finally, the filthy powergamers will play something else than rangers!

I think having them put Humblewood on Beyond could either be a sign of: them testing the waters for this type of fantasy OR, them having no interest in it and leaving it to 3PP.

Do they also show off their wonderful red, sun-rippened skin that has the same texture as an old faux-leather couch?
