Ah, thanks! It took me longer than I should have, but I found the offending text. I'll post an updated version in a week or so - it's got several changes to features to address feedback, as well as editing catches. I might very well add Battle Magic in - I think the proficiency with Wisdom...

It's funny you should mention this - I actually changed the recharge to be "end of turn" is encourage tactical usage instead of just blowing them all on damage. Damage is a much more appealing option that is much less situational, so I wanted to make it more likely for people to spend SD on...

I think you might be fundamentally misunderstanding what I'm attempting to do with the class. I'm not trying to make it so that the ranger class can be everything at the same time - like you said, that just leads to watered-down mechanics. Rather than pulling the ranger in many different...

In today's news, apparently the medieval equivalent of Icy-Hot can be applied for full effectiveness in 6 seconds.

Quite honestly, considering that one of the main issues with the ranger is that everyone has strong ideas - ideas that differ wildly - about what the ranger should be beyond "expert survivalist and explorer", that's a problem, and it's something you'll have to recognise moving forward with your...

Survivalist Dice are an inherently more flexible mechanic that can be applied in a wider variety of ways than a Quarry mechanic would. The Ranger needs a wide variety of subclasses to cover every identity people want from it while remaining both focused and balanced, so the more flexible a...

Hmmm, I wonder why that trend is... Could it be that mechanics like racial ASIs being the difference between starting with a +3 and a +2 modifier in your class's primary ability discourage diversity? Is it possible that with, a system like the D&D Next playtest's Standard Array and racial ASIs...

1Mac - you know, it's funny, the survivalist dice are the end result of me really wanting to have a Hunter's Quarry mechanic, but being unable to fit it in with - you guessed it - the Beast Master. I'll go through my thought process when I designed them: I knew from the outset that in order to...

I dunno, that just seems... boring, I guess. I'll break down what I mean. If by "Nature Sense", you mean the altered Primeval Awareness at 2nd level, that change has actually gotten a tonne of positive feedback. It's one of the few things in my fix things I've heard nothing but praise for. It's...

What if I want to play a wilderness survivor with weapons that aren't two-weapon fighting or archery? What if I want more martial consistency that what the rogue allows (less spike damage, more attacks) but not to the point of the fighter because (a) the amount of skills and features I need to...

Well, I suppose it's a change from the overpowered special snowflake crud that too many people end up making, innit? :P Seriously, I appreciate you doing that math for me. It's given me a lot to consider in terms of power moving forward into playtesting. I originally had the Survivalist dice...

Good point - I just changed it so that you can move without having to reapply the camouflage. I'll clarify that in the next draft - if you hit a creature with a melee attack and you started your turn at least 15 feet away from that creature, you can roll one or more of your survivalist dice...

Such as? I'm genuinely interested in specifics - I'm trying to make this the ranger fix (oh ambition, you'll kill me). Glad to hear I'm not barking up the wrong tree! :p I agree, and that's a worry with any class that doesn't have full 9th-level spellcasting. At that point, the best I can...

I'm not quite following what you're saying. Could you perhaps explain further?

Ok, so the ranger has an identity problem. People can agree on three things about the ranger: it is (a) the exploration class, and is (b) a competent martial character that (c) has access to spellcasting options. Thing is, no one can agree on how to implement (b) and (c). If you have...

I think another difference here is that your fiancee herself came forward first with the offer to help, rather than her being asked to do a job that drastically underpaid. If an artist offers their services for a lower cost, then that's their decision to lower the monetary value of their work...

Scriptwriter Leslie Johnson says "I believe they see Dungeons & Dragons as something that could be cultivated as a multi-universe movie where there will be spinoffs from the first movie being in Forgotten Realms and subsequent movies being in different worlds." YES. YES YES YES. When they...

So yeah, just wanted to get some feedback on this nightmare-fuelled mess. Also, have a bonus clip of the Turbo-Teen opening song. It's related, trust me. Circle of Machination To say that members of the Circle of Machination are unusual for druids would be a vast understatement. Unlike the...

I'm really trying to up the quality in my homebrew that I produce, so I'm looking for as much feedback as I can get as possible. I don't have a regular non-Adventurer's League game right now, so I can't do actual testing on it, and I'll take any help I can get! Thanks for your thoughts in...

It's at times like this that I thank my lucky stars that I can do my own art. Yeah, it's even more work, but at least I don't have pay myself. :) As for sharing, I've got one PWYW product that's made 74 sales so far and pulled in $86.50 USD over the last week and a half (so $43.25 for me -...
