My question then is what about Thief Rogues, who can use Thieves' Tools as a bonus action?

So who's the better drummer? An Unseen Servant or Lars Ulrich? : )

That's the rub isn't it? 5e is "sort of" designed around not needing as many magic items-some, like magic weapons, or saving throw boosters, do become necessary, items that enhance mobility or allow survival in crazy places like worlds that are on fire or deep beneath the sea for some...

So if I'm understanding this right, they want a bow using class but don't want to play Bards. I'm assuming they want it to be a ranged damage class and don't want to use magic, because I don't really see why Ranger would be "necessary". Because in Final Fantasy, the "Ranger' is either A) an...

Generally, the way I see it is, if any companion can use magic, they all should be able to. If you rule "well, this one can and this one can't", then everyone will feel like they should take the one that can, even if they'd rather have something else- all choices should be equal, otherwise...

On the other hand, when a subclass requires you to make choices to best utilize it before you get it, that's at least somewhat problematic. For example, let's say you're destined to become a dragon sorcerer. You better not take Mage Armor for the first two levels, because you're going to get...

I just ran Sea of Bones, which has a few "skill challenges" in it. The first happens in the midst of battle, which proved to be kind of rough for my party (Bard, Fighter, Mechanist, Sorcerer). The second is a simple "get past this locked door in a timely manner" (the adventure has a very tight...

Not a staff, but in a Pathfinder 1e game, I played a character who wielded a lucerne hammer. We were in town, and the DM told us the local ordinances insisted that weapons be peace knotted. Naturally, we got ambushed in town, and when I stated I was moving to attack, he told me I needed to...

I solved the issue of it's fragile nature by buying the Premium Edition when it came out. : ) I never said the book wasn't flawed, it totally is. Many (ok, most, lol) of it's ideas were poorly implemented. I could have gone with the DMG, and only a few years back, I would have put it here...

The 4e Essentials Barbarian might be a good reference for this sort of thing. The class could flip from Defender to Striker based on what the player wanted to be doing at the time. Maybe instead of "lose spells to gain dragon powers" the class could choose which mode to be in, so you either...

1e: Unearthed Arcana. I can hear howls and screams now, but it was a book that injected many new ideas into the game, even if all of them didn't land. 2e: Complete Book of Humanoids. Some of the implementation was wonky, but this book really got creative with the kinds of characters one could...

3.5's Green Star Adept turns you into a construct. It's not a good PrC (suddenly losing your Con score one day is pretty terrible) but it's thematically interesting. Weretouched Master was in one of the Eberron supplements. And as I recall, I think it was the Dread Necromancer that slowly...

I think I like the new Nale.

Ah, I knew I'd read this here before: Last November

I feel like this was posted before.

They want to be able to officially put "Ranger" on their character sheet.

Tom Bombadil and/or his wife Goldberry?

Honestly, I'd avoid Necromancer Wizard. Necromancy spells aren't the best for Wizard, and as a Necromancer, you're forced to put that 16 in Wisdom, which doesn't help you a ton. Worse yet, if you're here for creating Undead, Animate Dead is a Fifth-level spell for Wizards, so you wouldn't see...

Eldritch Knight- Level 7: War Magic When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of the attacks with a casting of one of your Wizard cantrips that has a casting time of an action. True Strike Casting Time: Action Range: Self Components: S, M (a weapon with which you have...

If the PC's aren't special, and there's always other adventurers out there to handle things, is their any real risk to the setting if they fail?
