I could see it too. Maybe not with the warlock/patron relationship I usually want to encourage, but it'd make sense for the type of warlock you're talking about: one that draws power from its suffering. Such a class might actually stand to be its own class, rather than use the warlock chassis.

3) because the current fighter's fairly generic build and ease of assimilating other parts makes it a good blank slate class, which some people appreciate having over something that brings hyperspecific concepts to the table.

5e art has its iconics. You can see the Fighter picture used appears several times. He's been in at least one picture in PotA and the SCAG. The characters depicted in the Class chapter of the SCAG also have their designs used in the picture that introduces the chapter, the one where they're...

Well first, the video confirms it'll be temporary HP instead of resistance. Secondly, I assume that nothing special happens if you move out of reach. You're delaying applying damage rather than the attack itself. So moving away would still result in a dying samurai, as the attack is still...

I mean, I can see an argument for Constitution casting: The magic is literally something you pull out of your body to hurl at foes, and is great for Genasi and a hypothetical blood caster. Charisma for a warlock I can sort of see as a way of representing your own ability to bargain with the...

Most cult leaders are actually pretty charismatic, otherwise they wouldn't get enough of a following to be a cult, rather than a rambling madman. So if the warlock is supposed to be a cultist, then charisma works fairly well. I've put some thought into justifying why certain classes and races...

Something funny I noticed about the 5e fighter is that while it's a solid class at its core, its design seems to encourage multiclassing more than a lot of other pairings. A lot of the stronger multiclass options (particularly warlock+anything) seem to require a level of understanding of what...

Three possibilities that I would use in my own worlds: 1: It becomes either a tiefling or an aasimar. This can either be [i]all[i/] children are tieflings, [i]all[i/] children are aasimar, or some are tiefling, some are aasimar. 2: They fiendish and celestial blood cancel out, creating a...

I'm fine with "Send in a large enough donation, I'll put together a subclass for you." It's the AL cert part of it that rubbed me the wrong way. That said, according to Skerritthegreen, it will be vetted by AL Admins, so that'll at least soften the blow a little.

I've been on a big RTS kick, so I'd love for a game somewhere between WarCraft 3 and Dragonshard (except perhaps with a better art direction). Obviously not what people think when they hear D&D video game, but I think it'd be neat.

There should be one for CoS. Is this what you want?

As far as I've heard, certificates exist outside of the core+1 rules, but I'm not certain on that.

For one of the characters I had written up (anyone remember the dual wielding Swashbuckler/Pact blade Undying warlock I never got to play?) I had imagined one of her rapiers being the more "traditional" Cappo Ferro blade, with pommel to tip being about the length of the ground to her armpit...

Lars Andersen is a show shooter. He doesn't draw his bow to its full length, and it's likely a low poundage bow to begin with. You wouldn't get away with that in an actual fight, and that he presents is as a viable combat manoeuvre is dishonest, based on art (which has had issues regarding...

But it's not just knife throwing. We're also saying that drawing an arrow, aiming it, and firing a bow (and at higher levels, multiple times per turn) is faster than the guy who's swinging their sword, and doesn't have to worry about drawing it. That said, realism is kind of moot, as more...

The reason why I'm suggesting Sorcery points is to line it up with Martial Adept, which gives a battlemaster another die to be used for any of their manoeuvres, not just the ones granted by the feat. Sorcerers, then, would get more sorcery points that can be used for spell slots, metamagic...

On the line of more spells, just a greater variety in what a dragon can pick up for their elemental niche would go a long way in giving you more variety than just Fire and Ice dragons. It wouldn't have to be a lot of them, just enough that the sorcerer always has one or two at any given spell...

I don't have enough experience with the sorcerer at my table to say what exactly needs to be fixed, but I'm willing to hear what suggestions people have in order to make a sorcerer subclass/feat/variant that can enable it to satisfy as wide as possible an audience. My opinion is mostly based on...
