You lot stop squabbling about how falling damage logic works this instant or so help me Ioun I'll bring up the notion of HP being an abstraction of many things including luck. AND YOU'LL REGRET IT. ...Aw, who am I kidding, the internet is for squabbling. Carry on.

In all fairness, I do think poor design is what is aggravating the problem here. The Warlock chassis way too front-loaded, and the Hexblade subclass continues to pile on. Oops, looks like I've been ninja'd. At least that means someone else agrees.

Me too. The dude's played SIX warlocks. Tension with one's patron can be a fun and flavorful story, but I wouldn't want to do it every single time. Making an idiot wizard work sounds like a fun challenge from both an RP and mechanical perspective. Refluffing a Druid's abilities as one who has...

This is a cool option. It allows one to guarantee they start with an 18, so probably not for everyone, but I am happy your table is getting good results!

I see what you mean, but it seems natural enough to me if the short rest is viewed (from the character's perspective) as an extension of the night's rest before it. The short rest is like the characters waking up and performing the early morning rituals they do to prepare for the day ahead of...

I would imagine if the DM allows crawling claw husbandry they are probably lenient enough that this isn't an issue. Herding Kobolds until breeding age sounds too slow and raises the issue of a revolt. Familiars up the gold cost by a factor of 500 (and also requires Pact of the Chain or other...

@Fanaelialae Given that most exploitable targets appear to be small animals, how about this? "If the target drops to 0 hit points before this spell ends and the target is not a beast with a CR of 0, you can use a bonus action on a subsequent turn of yours to curse a new creature."

I think it's a pretty murky issue and could go either way. The pro-chicken side is playing entirely within the rules, creating a flavorful theme for themselves (can you imagine having to herd chickens as you adventure and travel?), and the benefit is rather small (when you have start a day with...

Absolutely! In my opinion, you're doing it right! As someone who loves rules I would absolutely love to think about it a bit and come up with something that eliminates this corner case; something comprehensive would be nice, I just wanted to demonstrate how little work a patch that solves the...

I think there is some confusion here, as nothing you are saying contradicts what I post. In fact, I was holding up your quote as an example of how a dungeon master SHOULD act. My apologies, as it appears I did a poor job of making it clear that I wasn't replying to you, just using your words.

Ask a simple question, get threatened with exile? Sounds fun. Seriously, why are almost all of you anti-bag-o-ratters so insistent on making the matter about squashing the player rather than promoting fun play? Emphasis mine. Y'all see this? Ya see how the player gets the chance to accept the...

You should go check now just in case. Personally I found an old NES and some games in my attic left there by a previous owner.

Not always anymore, you got it.

Just keep in mind what I said about Sentinel + Warcaster. It wouldn't be fun if you put a bunch of time and effort into your build only to find it doesn't work properly.

IDK what the Ruby is, but I would like to remind you that Sentinel only stops movement if you hit with an opportunity attack, not spells/attacks that you get in place of opportunity attacks.

Find Familar for a summoned pal that will be by your side 24/7 without concentration (Create Homunculus as well). Since most summoning spells are concentration you want to get more bang from them while they are active; Focused Conjuration and Durable Summons reinforce your summons. Magic Circle...

Thank you so much for this; so many UA articles have very vague names and having to navigate pages just to get a synopsis was a real drag.

Oh absolutely. I'm not the type of person to take internet people's opinions as something to point to at as evidence at my table or anything like that, I just mean to say that if the one thing that 98% of the community remembers about the Lore Master is that it's busted that sentiment may...

Oh, bold claims! While I definitely respectfully disagree, I very much appreciate you putting this notion forth, as if the community's opinion softens I may have hope to play one yet! With all the people out there whose first reaction to anything new and powerful is "Broken. Banned at my table."...

I'll practice necromancy if it means an excuse to talk about wizards. Yeah, the main problem with the Lore Master isn't that any one feature is too broken to ever see play, it's how many good features they get. Most wizard subclasses get like 1 good feature, 1-2 okay features, and 1-2 ribbons...
