So I thought the Colonel was in pretty good shape: during the short rest he was nearly at full, here. I sort of like him being completely clocked by this guy, though. I will assume that he's not down to 1 and attack, but if I'm wrong or have made a mistake, that of course is fine, and I'll live...

In a parallel universe, this might have been awesome.

That's just silly!

As for the general point: I suspect all of these feats were omitted because (a) they weren't going to be origin feats, and (b) if ported over as is, they couldn't simply add +1 ASI, which all the general feats offer, in one form or another (I'm not saying that's my position, but it's the...

I have thoughts on your point generally, but I'll start with this, since I do not see how this is at all funky or unclear. If you play with a DM that allows you to take the "Fighting Initiate" Feat from Tasha's, then taking the feat at 4th level or above gives you the ability to choose any of...

Yes -- absolutely true. If you're playing with just the PHB 2024 (which is how I'm thinking of things), then you need to be Human or have the Guide background for Shillelagh, and Guide does not include a Charisma boost. I understand that the DMG will probably allow people to workout things...

It's fine as it is. You wait 7 levels for it to come online, and then you, as a paladin, are rewarded by an ability that helps your whole party. That's the best outcome possible. No one is incentivized to do a max CHA build, and (with point buy) I think it would be rare for a charisma to be...

I'm sorry -- I messed up my move. It's one round, and I'll focus next round. It's clear I've made a mistake, but will be betterin round 2.

not closing the door, but trying to block any exits. I should have typed CO instead of CN. TYhe colonel is trying to draw fire and prevent anyone leaving the room. Sorry if that isn't clear. I was delinquent and wanted to post right away.

The Colonel steps forward and blocks the door, preventing the giants from getting out of their room. Keep them in there, he thinks, and they'll not hurt anyone. With his booming voice he steps into the doorway, and smiles. No one is gettingpast hi, and he is determined to dodge any of their...

Of course it is -- it's not a character I would choose to play. I was merely answering your question of getting resistance to get them all.

So here's a way to get resistance to all by level 9: Wildheart Barbarian 3: while Raigng has all but Force, Necrotic Psychic, or Raidant. How to get the rest? Aasimar has resistance to Necrotic and Radiant Aberrant Sorcerer 6 has resistance to Psychic That's everything except Force using the...

That's true, but it means you need to invest in two separate attack stats. Yes -- forgot to say. Exactly.

Yes, Cleric, Rogue, and non-Valor Bards are the best bets for a True Strike build. Others are possible, but the spell doesn't synch with Extra Attack. All of those need to get the spell through Magic Initiate (Wizard), though. No armor proficiencies in the origin feats or in the 2024 species...

I think the origin feat is quite difficult to get, if you play the backgrounds as written. Unless you are human, the only way to get True Strike from an origin feat is if you choose the Sage background (or, as you say forego the ASI options at level 4). Taking that background means that you...

Can you elaborate on this a bit? I see the value of Hill Giant and Cloud Giant options, but I've not seen any 2024 Goliaths in play. I don't see anything that's build-defining, though.

I expect nothing less. :D I'm prepared to downgrade it a half point. Let me think. So this is a distinction I didn't make. Maybe I should separate the weapons that are hands from those that aren't. Thanks. I'm happy to hear you say this, because I have a soft spot for Lizardfolk. In the 2014...

Thanks for taking the time for this feedback. I'm prepared to downgrade it to a 4 (like the other comparable abilities). Thanks. Yeah -- I rated Radiant as worth 2, because PCs get it a lt. We don't know yet what Monsters will have. I'm prepared to downgrade it if we find that it is rare in...

<snip> So "nonmagical" seems to mean less in 2024, so they are more effective. I agree that they don't get used much. I started with them at 1 point, which put the Minotaur even lower. They are effective for the Minotaur and Centaur, less so for the Tabaxi. On the other hand, given that there...

I considered this, but didn't think it was right to presume that there was an entertainer (or a Human who took the musician feat) in every party. If you aren't playing with strict backgrounds (what we have in the PHB so far), then I might agree. I take your point, here, but I don't think I...
