Only if you put that ability in the first few levels of a class, and/or give every single feature when multiclassed into. That WotC insists on doing so is not the only way it could be done.

The new Ritual Caster does let you pick your rituals from among all the classes as you wish. It could argue for itself as an origin feat, but not when it's up against, say, War Caster.

It wouldn't change that much. Casters start off as lv1 Fighter/Sorc, and then won't switch from their caster class, because it'd mess with their spell levels. People who want to cosplay as mobile turrets pick Warlock2 first, and then start levelling up whatever their main class will be...

I think a proper test for this, is to give the giant eagles a sword and a shield.

Of course, many don't have hands which grappling requires. Sorry, giant eagles, no lambs for you!

With regular adventure books, there's so much you still need to do to turn it into a playable form and keep in mind and read ahead so you know what in the current scene is related to something that only comes up later... It just feels like work that would be easier if I was doing it myself from...

Because individual people is not the same as corporations..? Creating a sample image of your character for friend group use is not the same as putting them on the cover of a book you're selling?

Now that is a good point. It's like they don't get a secondary save, because Dex already covers the one thing Str has left. Huh.

There's very few spells with Str saves (like, Entangle is the most encountered). There are no weapon masteries that call for Str saves. Monsters seem to no longer let you Str save to resist being knocked over / pushed back. Most monsters do not grapple, they just apply the Grappled condition if...

I think we need to ignore this entry as a basis for any rulings... Because it would disquality Reach weapons from counting as melee weapons if they actually use their Reach. So we can assume that weapon properties can ignore what the Melee or Ranged entry says. Which would mean that the Range...

Fair. I'm just hoping so hard we could finally be past all the 2014's 'weapon attack might not be a weapon attack actually' rulings, and we could just assume that something that attacks at range with a weapon, would count as a ranged weapon.

Yep, I'm a firm believer in Fighter/Rogues! Works both ways, either as a dip or a more equal arrangement. And Paladin/Ranger/Rogue, who do get weapon masteries but only two of them, do really benefit from multiclassing with someone else with them, because you often do want that 3rd weapon option.

Wait, we can finally use Archery with thrown weapons? This is great news! And makes the Thrown fighting style super super niche, when you'd only ever pick it second.

I wish. The only bits you get from the lv1 class that you cannot get later are... save proficiencies heavy armor for Fighter/Paladin 1 skill proficiency for Rogue So, if any caster (including Ranger/Paladin) is going to dip into Fighter/Sorcerer at some point, they are always doing it at lv1 to...

No. A dip is taking few levels (often just the one) in some other class. Order doesn't matter. You are dipping in to grab what you want from them, then getting the hell out - that is the defining part. (most dips also don't make sense to make if you take them later - you get the most at lv1)

Would make sense as a delayed feature (around lv6?). As is, that 1-level dip into Fighter still gets you more damage than 2 levels of Rogue would.

4 base + 1 Nick + 1 Dual-Wielder. It's a simple thing, written awkwardly.

Sorc1 has always gotten you Con save proficiency. Then you just go on with your actual main caster class. 2024 Cleric picks between cantrip+knowledge checks or heavy armor+martial weapons at lv1. 2024 Warlocks get to pick an invocation at lv1, and Blade Pact is an invocation.

Especially when there's goliaths in the same book, who basically take over the big muscle guy role. You'd think that would force them to think about orcs' role as the other big guy, but they just softened them to be gentle little farmers or something. (orcs can dash proficiency times per day...

That does bring up the question, what pop culture orcs have there recently been? All I remember seeing is the standard Warcraft and Warhammer orcs, and for the general public, LotR orcs. I do wonder though, if we ever get firbolgs, if they are going to follow Critical Role fan art's direction...
