It always struct me as weird that it is when they leave your reach. To me, you should get an AoO when they leave THEIR reach. Why? To me, to make an AoO means you are going to attack an opponent that can no longer attack you. So if you have a 10' reach, and they have a 5' reach, you should get...

For timing purposes, plan into your adventure "side quests" that can be added or subtracted as needed. This is as simple as adding a hidden door in a tunnel on the way to the final encounter. Short on time? No more hidden door. Need to add in an extra 15 minutes of play time? The hidden door...

Is this mechanically or thematically speaking? If its all about mechanics top 5 in no real order: Paladin Wizard Druid Warlock Fighter Thematically: Ranger Sorcerer Paladin Rogue Wizard I wish the two lists lined up more, especially for Ranger and Sorcerer.

I think you weaken it too much here. I would rather just take an ASI, giving +2 to Con. You get the same amount of 1 extra hitpoint per level, plus your con abilities and saving throws get better, as well as any other things that benefit off an increased Con. I think you need the +2 hitpoints...

It doesn't take an action to draw a weapon, it is a free interaction that you can do as part of your movement and action, similar to many other interactions (PHB 190). Excluding Heavy weapons goes a long way toward making this more feasible. I'm still not a fan of the concept, however. I would...

You can't do this legally under the rules, though. Per the PHB (page 146) it takes an action to both don and doff a shield. It's no simple thing to just drop it or to pick it back up and put it on. I just don't like the flow of it. If a round of combat is supposed to be 6 seconds of action all...

I don't believe it can either. I think some of the features from the class provide a good framework and guide for needed 5E features, but where they fall in the class and how they are implemented fall short. When I made my version of the class, a work still in progress, I changed and/or moved...

The pet is both a party member, and not. From a role playing point of view, it is absolutely a party member. People become attached to them and take extraordinary risks to save them. From a mechanical point of view though, it is not a party member. It is an extension of the Beast Master's...

My point being, its still another body that soaks up damage. Every attack and hit point taken against your beast is an attack and hit points not taken from you or another party member. Same with every attack against you is an attack not against your beast or another party member. You effectively...

A 2019 5.5 book would not be unwelcome though, 5 years after the game was released. I think it would be a wise business move from a profits standpoint, as well as a good game move to freshen and fix some of the mechanics. There are more than just the Ranger and Sorcerer that need fixing...

Really, really not a fan of the holding a shield. It's too generic. I could see doing it with a hand crossbow, a blow gun, maybe even a light crossbow. But there is no way you could pull it off with a short or long bow. Just the nature of using a shield means you are holding it with your hand...

You could also argue that it's better in the sense that it doubles your hitpoints. All the damage your pet just took could have been damage that you would have taken and been killed. Instead, the pet took all the damage and while you lost that attack, you do still have one attack, plus your...

All true! My personal examples didn't happen to align the best with the point I was trying to make; namely that a good portion of the characters being made aren't actually being played and I gave some personal situations to descibe my thoughts as to why. Not a commentary on which particular...

I guess I would look at this data in a different light and question just how close it is to being an accurate representation of played classes. As has been mentioned, just because a class is built in the character builder, doesn't mean it has been played. I would take it a step further. I would...

I'll have to look at giant beasts again and try to find why I excluded them. It's possible they could be allowed. I think also adding a line saying other creatures at DMs discretion. I'd be hesitant to have it increase on character level. Very few things increase on character level instead of...

My hesitation there isn't in the ability, but putting it at level 13. None of the other conclaves have abilities at 13, and I would like to keep things in the same format as the rest of the PHB.

Thanks, I'll make that change. It's not geared toward poison damage though, just the condition. Not sure how the condition measures up in terms of frequency.

I moved around some features based on other thread posts and suggestions, and added some things. Changes are bolded. How about: Naturalist Herbalist At 2nd level, you are able to create Healing Poultices. You spend 1 minute bandaging a creature’s wounds. That creature regains a number of hit...
