The game is not balanced around magical items. Magical items are outside the purview of the system and are added solely at the discretion of the DM. If a DM breaks the game by giving his players a lot of magical items, that is solely his fault.

I want an optional ranger without spells.

1. Races are organized based on being common and uncommon. 2. So? 3. No idea what you are talking about. All the skill information is in chapter 7. 4. Only thing I would have liked with the spells is labeling their spell school on the spell lists. It's getting a high star rating because people...

I hope they use this opportunity to give us an alternative Ranger without spell casting.

Since when has D&D been medieval Europe? I want an actual medieval European inspired setting.

You skipped over the 2nd edition black books.

I don't see how it is worthless without the fighting style. You will be adding your Charisma modifier with both weapons. The extra Dexterity damage on your hand would be nice, but I am not sure it is exactly better than progressing your levels in Warlock.

What about for the 7th level ability, giving the animal companion a +2 Ability Score Increase and the option to take a feat instead? Feat possibilities could be Athlete, Charger, Durable, Grappler, Lucky, Mage Slayer, Martial Adept, Mobile, Resilient, Savage Attacker, Sentinel, Skulker, and Tough.

Anyone run the DPR numbers of the beastmaster? Compared to the hunter, I just don't see it putting out near the same DPR. The hunter deals an additional d8 every turn and is very effective at AOE. It can also cause another creatures to attack its ally which if the creature the ranger is fighting...

Mike Mearls tweeted, "Overchannel questions: Not intended to work with cantrips, but it works out if you increase the damage by 1d12 per cantrip"

People generally don't keep damaged or defective goods. They send them back and get a replacement. Wizards will know whether if there is a high rate of defective books when they get the replacement rates from retail stores.

Odds are something like was caused during storage or shipment. People handle them all the way from the printer to when they put it in the shipment box at Amazon's warehouse.

All it takes is one Dispel Magic and both Polymorph and True Polymorph is nullified.
