    Unearthed Arcana New Unearthed Arcana - Subclasses 2 [UPDATED]

    The hour-long duration is the strongest part of the L1 love cleric feature. The ability checks are gravy. In one of my campaigns I play an Arcana cleric, and we've got a house rule where I get to upgrade spells when I gain new spell levels. My upgraded bless also boosts ability checks. My...

    Unearthed Arcana New Unearthed Arcana - Subclasses 2 [UPDATED]

    College of Transmutation is lovely, but I don't see the point of the line "provided the creature doesn't already have temporary hit points." We already have a mechanism that keeps them from stacking, why is this necessary? I wonder what the most useful things the bard 6 can create are, outside...

    D&D 5E (2014) This op?

    Yes. https://www.wizards.com/files/367_playing_gnolls.pdf I think a version might have also been in one of the MMs.

    D&D 5E (2014) Best and Worst Damage Types

    Only one lightning cantrip in SCAG, Lightning Lure. Booming Blade is thunder. SCAG also gives a force-dealing cantrip, Sword Burst. EDIT: Wait, unless you were referring to Shocking Grasp as the other and I misunderstood what you meant. Also, if so, reminds me that we also have a second Thunder...

    D&D 5E (2014) 2 headed death!

    There's a few other answers from an older thread here: Two headed creatures in Myth, Legend, and D&D Mostly older D&D stuff you'd need to convert and mythology stuff.

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Four New Subclasses

    I think this is all pretty nice. A little underwhelmed by the second option on the Warlock's level 14 when compared to the other two options there. Feel like the duration should be longer, but an entire minute feels too long at the same time.

    D&D 5E (2014) If Psion is fixed and official does it belong into FR as basic and RAW?

    If an official book does not declare that a class or concept that underlines a class is common in a particular setting, I'd suggest it is likely still possible in that setting but uncommonly seen. Not all classes fit all settings, and WOTC should be willing to say if psionics don't fit one of...

    Dune RPG in 2020 (finally)

    I think the BH/KJA book contents would be great as eventual supplemental material. But first, focus on the FH books to build the core content. This would allow a strong foundation, I think, and allow those Dune fans which don't like the extended content to stay with that core.

    Warlord Homebrew Collaboration (+) (Create a 5e Warlord)

    Two simple things to get out of the way. 1. Replace Unarmored Defense with light+medium armor arof and shield prof. 2. Give martial weapon prof. (Vanguard archetype could maybe gain heavy armor). More of a couple of incomplete thoughts here: I think both the Martial Arts die and Unarmored...

    D&D 5E (2014) Boop

    Bards having an aura sounds great and is reminiscent of some features bards have had in other D&Ds.

    D&D 5E (2014) Boop

    Really interesting to see Paladin and Bard as the leaders currently. I might be misunderstanding the question, so I'll start with how I think they'd work as subclasses and then my opinion on if its a class of its own. Seems really possible to do a Cleric domain that has a little warlord in him...

    Lay-offs at Fantasy Flight Games?

    Needs some clarity on whether this only impacted FFI and RPG or also impacted the internal group that works on companion apps for games like Mansions of Madness, Journeys in Middle Earth, Imperial Assault, etc. My understanding is the group working on the companion apps is not affected. So far...

    D&D 5E (2014) How far can you climb per action?

    By RAW, she can climb 60 feet using Dash as her action and Dash as her bonus action through Step of the Wind. If you as DM decide the wall is hard to climb in the fiction, and as such should require a check to climb it, ruling what happens on success or failure is up to you. Could be that they...

    D&D 5E (2014) How far can you climb per action?

    It's perfectly reasonable to award a high roll with extra movement, but it's completely up to DM decision whether that should happen on a success, as well as what you think should happen on a failure. For your specific scenario, in-story, perhaps she exerted herself to sort of jump-climb up...

    D&D 3.x the 3e skill system

    I like the granularity of skills in 3/3.5/PF. I like that you can take basically any skill, even if its not in your class list. I dislike how numbers go crazy at high levels. I dislike how your build may be completely hinged on boosting a skill far enough to pick up a specific feat at specific...

    D&D 5E (2014) Paladin, How Are You Righteous?

    My view of the Paladin is that the Paladin's cause and code define what is righteous, what is good and what is evil. While there is the classical Paladin and what they are, as described here, I've always disliked how narrowly they are defined. One of the reasons I like that PF2 has the Champion...

    D&D 5E (2014) Half-Elves are taking over my game! (Or are Humans underpowered?)

    Humans are boring and the game doesn't integrate their culture into how they exist in the world, where for other races their culture is often a part of what makes them what they are. Such as dwarves and elves having weapon training as D&D treats humans as "generic and versatile" which is just...
