Fourword.

I cannot emphasize this point enough. The entire point of ragebait displays like this is to force the narrative focus on the baiting, then overwhelm with gish gallop until all other discourse is drowned out, leaving their voice as the only thing anyone is listening too because there isn't...

For the longest time I thought your avatar was just a recolored Willy Wonka. Then I got a bigger computer screen.

I don't like the wording on this, purely because it implies you can only change the rules if everyone is having more fun. Sometimes a necessary rules change results in some of the group having less fun so that others in the group can have some fun at all.

The best way to curb powergaming is to nerf your monsters. Once the players realize that you can kill the monsters without having to fight for their lives all the time, they tend to loosen up a bit on the characters they make.

Any data for this situation I create myself will be of inferior quality, I hate to say it, but it is true. Furthermore, I don't even own the books myself at this point in time (I have been told to wait). So I would have to source the raw numbers from someone else to begin with.

Key points: Baseline Eldritch Blast damage goes up a bit in t4 thanks to access to epic boons. Optimized Eldritch Blast damage (meaning a warlock that actually casts damage spells and not just cantrips) goes up significantly in t3, but falls back down in t4. The controversial True Strike...

Any idea if they were crammed into the MM or just dropped?

I see pages for creating a creature and rules for NPCs, but I still don't know if this book has the robust monster creation rules or not. Every article and video I have found on the book doesn't mention their existence either way.

It's basically hacking the planet.

I legit thought Brainy Smurf was supposed to be Papa Smurf's magical apprentice.

The problem with the Thief isn't that rules exist for doing things, it's that the mere existence of the Thief as a class causes rules to be applied unevenly, no mater what level of abstraction you are using. The Thief has to justify it's existence by carving out a niche, which means steeling...

This guy I guess.
