I second the Idea for Arcane Initiate, though I suggest Firebolt and Control Flame. No need to take two attack cantrips when you can reliably use weapons, and frankly the idea of controlling fire cosmetically sounds WAY more on brand than summoning bonfires. Alternatively you could even just...

Except they've already done this. It's called Tyranny of Dragons and has been released twice already in 5e. Change the names and colors of a couple dragons and places and you have your campaign. Ironically ToD is even often subjected to the same criticisms the old Dragonlance trilogy of modules...

And a lot of people both comic fans and non-comic fans alike despise the inclusion of time travel retcons as well, particularly in the hamfisted and poorly written way both the MCU and the comics both handled it. Comic fans have long complained about characters not staying dead and utter lack of...

A lot of good ideas in this thread. I'm inclined to agree that an upgrade to their "mental" capacity is called for. I second the idea for something akin to "Awaken" or the idea to make it function closer to the spell Find Steed. To also borrow a leaf from the new drake warden, you could also...

In terms of game mechanics I don't give one wit about tradition. In fact it's the opposite. I get brand recognition as a concept but for me personally I am of a mind that it is often "tradition" that is now holding the game itself back. I.e. Why do we need to have ability scores instead of just...

I agree with this 100%. It's a terrible decision and I sincerely hope this wasn't just done from pushback from both WoTC people who want to shoehorn in all sorts of stupid retcons just to make every d@$% setting like forgotten realms and a bunch of fans who just want to replay/reread the same...

For myself I've always just done the base 10, where each coin up is worth ten of the previous (1pp = 10gp = 10sp = 100 cp). I always fluff the new Electrum as weird/odd currency that varies in value depending on where you trade it and is never actively minted anymore, so I save it for old fallen...

Not a single Dragonlance dragon on this list. You all doing my boy Khellendros dirty. Most certainly a Great Wyrm, survived many different wars and single-handedly helped a goddess steal a planet. He get's all of the points in my mind, but seeing as I'm stuck with what's listed here: Aasterinian...

Yes, as many have stated it various depending on the specific fight. I personally and running an altered version of the class where we nerfed storm rune from being blatantly overpowered to just "spend a reaction to grant advantage or disadvantage to ONE d20 die roll" and removed the level...

Meanwhile I'm just sitting over here reading this and thinking that unless that mage has subtle spell, he is not by rules of the game itself "unseen" after casting a spell with a verbal component and therefore targetable to try and break concentration. Behind cover and maybe being attacked at...

It is definitely originally only a Forgotten Realms thing, until the recent stuff of 5th Ed started trying to sort of homogenize / galvanize elements from all the settings to sort of unify them a bit. As a long time Dragonlance fan who did not even read many FR books until recently I wasn't even...

Honestly I wouldn't expect it to break the game. If anything handing out levels of exhaustion so cavalierly will have a far worse impact on the game as a whole as it is currently incredibly hard to remove exhaustion. Regarding the berserker barbarian. There have been numerous threads to suggest...

A decent product. I'll likely still be using my own homebrew built ruleset and stuff for the setting, but a solid work for a fan compilation. There are a few minor things I do find odd: 1) I can't for the life of me figure out why they didn't just make Dimernesti and Dargonesti the same...

I cannot speak for the colored ones, though we have ordered three Figures of the premium plastic option. All were well done, though the occasional fragile issues are to be noted. My girlfriends sorcerer arrived and had it's arm promptly fall off the moment after we took it out of the box...

Artificer Alchemist 10 Artificer Armorer 22 Artificer Artillerist 18 Artificer Battle Smith 22 Barbarian Path of the Beast 20 Bard College of Creation 18 Bard College of Eloquence 20 - 2 = 18 [Because you can't talk your way out of the most insane 3rd level class feature ever that should never...

My entire first two paragraphs are directly related to your quote, which is why I quoted you. I want to know what builds your players are becuase you are making claims they got to level 15 just fine and therefore arguing that healing is not needed in 5e because of it. I happen to largely agree...

I would also like to know what their exact builds are as well. I'd argue a group with a Life Cleric or any other healing focused subclass is at a serious detriment in keeping up with groups who do not such a character if they do not use any healing (magical or otherwise) in combat. You can have...

So my only thoughts from a mechanical standpoint: 1) Consider implementing house rules for more advanced medical technology, mundane healing and frankly technology in general. Crafting will certainly be a big part of this. Even if you are trying to simulate a "historically accurate" medieval...

So when a daddy/momma fiend and a human love each other very much...

The thing is, the only time I've ever had to employ those tactics is whenever a player decides to roll a character that is heavily optimized or min/maxed, and honestly even then I often find the martial characters to be the more frustrating if optimized. At least the archmage can counter a...
