I do not care for resonance. I have to agree that a check alongside it makes more sense. I'd prefer even more that such an item just doesn't exist. I'd much rather such a wand has 3-5 charges a day rather than be unlimited in use. Although, in my games, I typically limit magic items pretty...

As long as the combat system is given a codified and complex and interesting structure and non-combat is mostly boiled down to "roll dice and DM tells you if you're cool," combat will always be more important in D&D. While I'm not sure it's gotten there completely, I do think the Adventure's in...

I really like the way they did +1 for the base state and +2 for the sub-race stat on the Gith. While I realize this is basically meaningless from a mechanical standpoint, I feel like this way of doing things gives more flavor to the sub-race than to the main race and I think that's a good thing...

So, wouldn't surprise me to see some sourcebooks coming out based on some of their bigger IPs. Android was mentioned in the article as a potential setting to play in. Runebound/Terrinoth (where Descent: Journeys in the Dark takes place) seems like an obvious choice for a fantasy setting. I'd be...

Path of the Ancestral Guardian is my new favorite thing for today.

WOTC must be partnering for D&D escape rooms.

I agree about the opposed rolls. I think only the defender should roll, with some DC set by the attackers stats.

Surprisingly, there's actually a tiny bit of crunch in this one beyond the races. There's a Pyromancer Sorcerous Origin. It's nothing crazy but looks quite solidly put together. There's also a couple of feats.

I just noticed that the Hex Warrior feature does not work with the Curse Bringer invocation, as the former excludes two-handed weapons and the latter manifests a greatsword. I already think that the greatsword is too strong here, so I'd suggest changing that to a longsword instead. Removing the...

What I foolishly wasn't considering was the fact that these are specific weapons you create with your pact and not just whatever weapon you wish to use, so that's true that you may not be able to use a feat that provides extra advantage like great weapon mastery or crossbow expert. There are the...

Do the new Pact of the Blade features seem strictly better than the Paladin's Divine Smite? Is there enough of an opportunity cost in taking one of those invocations that this is okay? I'm not certain. I'm also conflicted on the Hexblade being able to use Charisma for attack/damage. My favorite...

The LMG is up on DTRPG now.

I'm a bit sad about Cottage Garden as that appears to have the Dutch publisher there. I've been hopeful for a US release but I don't think this is saying that, unless I'm misreading? Please tell me I'm wrong, and who is publishing it here if so?

Do you choose the form of your steed or does your DM?

Channel Divinities are both too strong. I'd change the Draconic Fury to only apply to damage or I'd set it only last until the end of your next round. I'd also make the extra damage of your dragon type. It's lame to pick your type but not have anything that uses it until level 7. Frightful...

These feel more like DM tools for building villains than player options.

They get an extra Arcane Shot option. Compared to most of the other fighter archetypes, this is fine for level 10, if a little underwhelming.

Arcane Archer - Arcane Arrow with Arcane Shots is good -- Bursting Arrow and Piercing arrow seem to be the winners to me -- The other Arcane Shots options are all interesting and mostly useful - Archer's Lore - It kind of feels like they didn't know what else to give them so... skills! -...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks a binary choice here doesn't really describe how they play. My biggest preference is primarily TOTM with miniatures used to indicate some things. Depending on the game, this might be where players are in a larger world or how combatants in a battle clump...
