Interesting stuff! Cool ideas. Good work. I have tried and failed to make a cool Gnomish grenadier (something something tinker gnomes) a few times in the past.

Side story: I had the pleasure of interviewing Sandy once. We went to his house with a full crew and did a long and in depth interview. Unfortunately, I was not a good enough interviewer to keep such an... hrm... energetic guy on track. It was a mess so we ended up scrapping the whole thing.

You find The Thread of Valhalla. Said to be woven from the hair of the Valkyrie themselves. The string seems to be both infinitely long and obviously finite. Impossible for mortal eyes to measure or mortal words to describe. It is said that anyone who breaks the string is cut off from Valhalla...

Honestly, an EK should ideally be filling the role of an arcane archer or spellsword IMO. If they can't, I would rather see them add some spells or adjust the EK with an optional version just to keep this edition nice and clean.

I kinda think a quick and dirty Volo's Guide to the Planes with expanded chapters on the most popular settings would be fine.

that's what I do.

We have one in our game. He's just a reskinned dragonborn. Spits acid. He's fun.

Action economy aside, "placing them in the perfect spot" against an unwilling target is probably a contested roll not unlike a grapple in my book. Adding in the fact that he needs an action to hit the button mean he needs to essentially restrain the enemy for a round getting them into position...

This thread is making me realize that I fail more Intelligence saves IRL than all the others combined. I can think of 100 examples but they never come up in D&D

Don't Psionic attacks call for them? I could see using them creatively in a situation where the players have planned to do something important and I am clearly the only person who remembers that they were going to do that. Player "alright I leave the castle" DM "make an INT save real quick"...

Eh, I'll let my players squeeze one into someone's mouth. Stlll costs someone an action. I'd actually assume that is RAI, but I could obviously be wrong.

See, I think we're one short. Perception should be an ability score and a save (notice traps, detect poison). It should be your combat mod with ranged weapons too.

An epic level sourcebook would be cool, but no, I personally have no interest.

Poisoned feels real good for this. Keeps it simple too.

As someone who is playing this version of the class it kinda disheartens me to think that people who haven't seen it in action get an equal voice as people who have, but I'm not losing any sleep.

How about: Level 3 - Blood Lust - Starting at level 3, Whenever you score a critical hit or drop an enemy to 0 hp, you regain hp equal to your Con mod. (x2 at some higher level) Level 7 - Blood Rage - Starting at level 7, Whenever you score a critical hit or drop an enemy to 0 hp, you may...

I guess that, in my games, I don't assume PCs with the actual "Unconcious" status are technically/medically unconsious. In my games I often just describe them as wounded and out of the fight. So for me, letting them roll feels okay. YMMV

Hehe, alternatively, I would shake up initiative of new enemies innturrupted the fight or new combatants suddenly found themselves on another plane of existence. Also fairly common

My only gripe is Hunter's Mark for melee Rangers. Overall I think the mechanic is great.

I have been DMing for a very very long time and I still find running a game from a book to be needlessly stressful.
