Right now, I'm going on the basic grammar of the text box, which refers to "items" rather than "an item". If their intention or action changes from that in the future, I will be mildly surprised, though not more than mildly. For evaluating the subclass-as-presented in this playtest, I'm going to...

Your assumption that there will be a "singular, specific item" is, of course, completely unsupported by any evidence whatsoever. Either you don't know what "equivocation" actually means, or you just personally attacked me by calling me a liar.

Whether a character gets an appropriate magic item for combat is equally dependent on the DM whether the item in question is a "magic weapon" or an item "that enhance{s} Unarmed Strikes and Improvised Weapons". Whether a subclass needs "outside assistance to do its job" is equally true whether...

What keeps a Brawler up with magic weapons is the magic items mentioned in the Design Note on p.14. The place to make sure Brawlers, monks, and College of Dance bards keep up with magic weapons is there, not in subclass features.

No, he can't. The Brawler can swap Mastery effects on each attack roll. Unless you're letting "any warrior-type" dig around in his backpack and swap weapons in the middle of his turn, he can't Cleave an opponent and then use the attack roll granted by Cleave to Topple a second. The Brawler can...

The key, of course, is to start as a ranger first, then switch to magic-user after you get the ability to cast magic-user spells as a ranger (9th level, Ranger Knight). Because then you can argue, when you reach 10th level as a magic-user, that you can cast all your magic-user spells in armor...

Note that as of the DMG, they're errataed to using the Cleric attack chart.

Was, in fact, once a standard rule -- AD&D Unearthed Arcana, p.80.

Yeah, the Brawler at levels 7-17 looks like the "Go into the dungeon with your Reach Cleave-Push-and-Topple two-handed weapon and beat anyone who approaches to death; if they actually manage to close with you, use a bonus action to grapple them so you can strangle 'em while you beat 'em to...

Well, let me quote the playtest document, p.14, the first box under the Brawler heading: "The 2024 Dungeon Master’s Guide will include magic items that enhance Unarmed Strikes and Improvised Weapons." Now, read the last two words of that sentence again. Huh. Looks like your question was...

Sure they do. Krynnspace has one (Zivilyn, size class F air body), Greyspace has two (Edill and Gnibile, both size class G air bodies, the latter explicitly called a "gas giant" on p. 91 of the original boxed set's Lorebook of the Void), and Realmspace has one (Coliar, size class G air body...

So, I was going to present my general solution here, but you seem to have found my post in the older thread from September of last year. As far as tracking the surface, I'd go with that relative to the spelljammer, the surface is motionless except for the speed of the spelljammer itself when...

So, the key bit in my numbers there for the NYC-to-Tokyo trip was that it would be X hours up and then X hours down. So if it's 50 miles from surface to space where you can do the 100 million MPH thing, and a 3 mph ship, that works out 16:40 up and 16:40 down, for 33:20 going up-and-down, plus a...

Nope, not at all. Steve Jackson Games, to a first approximation, hasn't ever had any RPG writers on payroll. Everything's been freelance, per-project contracts. And Steve Jackson has always kept a sharp eye on per-product profitability, which 1990s TSR definitely did not have -- which is why TSR...

What's odd about that? The community being polled on these decisions is composed pretty much of two parts. The smaller part is what's left of the community whose reactions in the D&D Next playtests ten years ago shaped 5th edition in the first place. The larger part is all the people who were...
