Hm. So I'm convinced. My concerns with regards to the Healing Draught were unfounded. However, the concerns raised above definitely are somewhat worrying. It might not be a bad idea to make it so that Tanglefoot, Speed, Smokestick, and Thunderstone all have a small power increase at level 11. It...

Doublepost. Ignore.

Hm. That's a fair assessment. On that note, do you think the other formulae are all in a good spot? I'm not sure about the smokestick or the thunderstone.

I don't buy that argument. No offense, but by that logic any healing effect can be completely overpowered. Prayer of Healing with a Life Cleric winds up being equivalent of double the Toughness feat, PER SLOT. The issue I have with Draught of Healing is that due to the way it works, it...

What about at least raising the "cooldown" to short rest instead of long rest? The draught is once per day which makes it kind of mediocre compared to other sources of healing.

I've tried to adjust the construct to be less frustrating for the Ranger, by reintroducing vanilla ranger restrictions on the construct, and making it specialize more on a specific purpose. Thoughts...

Well, the way I have it set up now it can use your action to do one good hit, but thats generally not "optimal". But there's nothing stopping you from using it as a steed. It still retains access to giant eagles ans several fast mounts, which can use their move action without needing you to...

A quick update. I weighed the DPR and mulled it over, and I think the best way to balance the construct is to make the following additional adjustments: Construct gets a bonus to damage equal to your proficiency bonus. Construct moves on your turn, but cannot take any actions or bonus actions...

I seek truth above all else. Apologies if I come across as caustic at times. Just trying to balance and assess.

Haha. I like that system. Pretty much a simplified conversion of the guard AI from the Thief series. I'm not sure most people would want to run that, but I'd enjoy playing in your games.

Dude. You're missing the point. This class has no damage source outside of its own subclasses. Its gun does okay damage. Not great. Just okay. DPR for its peak damage specialization is 8d6+5 at level 14, for a DPR of 33. A warlock does 31.5 at that level. A sharpshooter fighter does 58(with...

I did not expect this thread to blow up. I immediately regret my decision.

Uhm? The assertion isn't rogues have to use their bonus action to "catch up". Rogues already match them at base. But they can use their bonus actions to essentially give themselves twice as many chances to hit at any time. Artificers do not have that option. They do have a metric ton of utility...

I'm not sure I agree. Rogues have the mobility and better defense in combat than the artificer. The biggest issue right now is the construct. That thing is beyond broken, and needs toning down. Other than that, it's on similar footing to the rogue in other categories, or has sensible tradeoffs.

Fair points, but I've occassionally butt heads with intelligent DMs I respect because of miscommunication. These rules should always be superceded by DM fiat and common sense. They are just guidelines so there is some common ground on what the "standard" is. If the guard is facing towards you...

Sorry, but you're incorrect on one point. A ranged rogue worth his salt will be grabbing crossbow expert since it only costs 1 feat, and gets him 2 ranged attacks. Sometimes they follow this up with sharpshooter, but you get the idea.

I turned this over a bit as it was pointed out by you, and others on Reddit. I think I goofed on Sending Stones and Driftglobe. I'm going to drop Sending Stones back to level 2, and put Driftglobe at level 5. The only reason I'm doing that is because Driftglobe is, as you say, useless in 95% of...

Since 5e was released, there has been some ongoing confusion as to the nature of hiding. The rules as written make a few key statements: Hiding is an action. You cannot hide while being seen. You cannot hide unless you have at least light obscurement. You cannot hide while making noise...
