Also. The wild magic sorcerer would become like .. what exactly? A super-halfling? Like, yes, dragon sorc should become more dragon-like and gishy. But that's the equivalent of going Bladesinger Wizard.

You missed my point. Warlock patrons have features that turn them into beings like their patrons. Fathomless transform you more and more into one of the fish people that serve kracken. Genie / talisman literally gives you a magic lamp to live in while you get the power to grant wishes...

Like fiends? Undead? Fey? Maybe a genie? Now wherever have I seen that before.... Seriously, though, this is part of the Venn diagram of origins/patrons is a circle thing. Warlock already does this in no small part of you look at their subclasses

Is it still the class if we have metamagic feat

Oh, plenty of people are. They're often unthematic and don't fit the bard's playstyle. Plenty of people would be happy to swap the crappy new spells for the old one. There's even a thread here, and in every place I know, about wanting a forth spell list for bard. But expecting people to...

Yeah, but I expect that to change for Artificer. It's super weird if the defining part of artificer (super crafting) isn't getting expertise while sleight of hand is. Exactly. This is odd as hell to me - why should an alchemist be a super lock picker? Its one thing if you are a locksmith, but...

... You are saying the generalist bard caster shouldn't have access to the iconic bard spells that help fulfill the base class fantasy. Right then. What's next, no healing spells on the life cleric? They can just use channel divinity instead. Bah. Magical Secrets are pointless as a balancing...

Maybe, but then why are they absent from Lore? That's the perfect place for them to appear. I'm not really married to where they appear, but their appearance somewhere needs to happen.

Ya know.... Artificer as Expert bothers me a lot. Like... Okay, expertise in your favorite crafter tool is great. But... I don't want a bunch of random artificers with thief tools and healer's lists running around, because they are the only useful ones. If you are an alchemist, getting...

I mostly don't care about the spell preparation vs known, nor everyone preparing the same amount. I'm cool with it. Not so thrilled about the spell school thing on bards, mostly because of the lack of thematic spells. Couldn't care less about it on the ranger. Like, this is a major...

I loved the elemental storm genasi.

Would polymorph strike even work? Like, Polymorph reverses when the target is reduced to 0HP. So, you hit it, transform it, it takes damage and turns back into a normal ... whatever it was before. That sounds like an expensive way to give your enemy extra HP at high levels. I don't like...

This looks suspiciously like it just plays like a paladin with smites. Like... the whole point is to use arcane blade thing. so, you imbue the attacks with things like magic missile. Or, if you want control, you use color spray. People already complain that paladin doesn't use spells and...

I would drop sorcerer, pick up artificer in its place, and then go all in with new, crazy subclasses. We haven't really pushed the bounds of what subclasses can do for you yet.

What got me was the misty step once a rest. Like.... That's worse than the Eladrin racial ability at level 0. Like, free Misty Step every turn? Epic. Once a rest? Literally a level 1 power.

There are a number of reasons to consider them less than a full caster, with plenty of similarities to other half casters. EB treated as similar to a magic weapon attack, hex vs hunter marks, invocations v. Imbuements, access to a class pet (companion, mount, golem, chain pact), number of...

Lolth and the drow pantheon exist in the Abyss, and it's probably a good thing to keep in mind that her dark elves petitioners as well as the souls of elf sacrifices are there

I consider warlock closer to a half caster than full.

I have gamer friend with anxiety issues that panics if they feel like peer pressure is forcing them to start making lots of choices all at once. I would like them to be comfy with the game. Moving subclasses to 3 makes multiclass considerations easier from a design point. I know lots of new...

Hot take. I feel that the only really successful wizard subclass after the 8 schools in the PHB have been the Bladesinger and Scribe. Blade and book using specialist. Wizard should make subclasses based on tool use. Staff and orb and wand, oh my
