I don't see how asking for magic (warlocks, clerics) is working any harder for magic than just getting lucky, myself. I'm also now looking forward to winning the lottery, since it's been demonstrated that something being possible also means it's inevitable.

You make a fine point, but what little research I've done on the matter leads me to believe that the historical basis for D&D's darts have more in common with javelins than the bar game. I can live with that.

Alright, the conversation has moved well past this at this point, but I just need to say that that isn't really sound. You shouldn't pay any attention to what was used the most over the course of human history, you should pay attention to what was best at the time. Today, the most-used weapon...

You mean like AL? Personally, I agree with the lawyery ruling. Ranged weapon vs Melee weapon is a categorical distinction rather than a functional one. The functional distinction is in the kinds of attacks they make. Doing it the other way leads to weird shenanigans like Tavern Brawlers...

I mean, we have such classes as "Fighter," "Rogue," "Barbarian," "Sorcerer," "Warlock," and even "Wizard." All of those names are generic, and could have meant anything when those classes were introduced to D&D. Our concepts of what those class names mean came after the class was already...

But everything in that post was correct. When he said "This does not work," he was specifically talking about Magic Initiate, and then he went and suggested the very same method to get charisma shillelagh that you "corrected" him with. I mean, come on.

In the post where he showed up, it was stated he's using a +1 rapier over his +1 longbow.

It doesn't seem like you read the entire post.

I take it the ring casts Hex without using your bonus action? I like it. If it appeared in my game I'd be sorely tempted to use it, especially on my monk character.

The multiclassing rules aren't very well-written because you say theyre based on character level, but then say that casters that multiclass into martial classes use their martial class levels. It would be clearer to say that you cannot gain the feature more than once, and you add your martial...

Mostly, yeah, although some new racial traits allow you to add damage to an attack equal to your level.

I actually don't like Called Shot. It was buffed for anybody that can get advantage reliably, became more usable when you have disadvantage from another source, and it will absolutely wreck paralyzed and otherwise automatically-crit creatures because of the move to dice instead of a modifier...

It's OK to have variations on a theme, you know. It's perfectly fine to make a samurai/knight using the Battle Master right now, and it will still be perfectly fine to make a samurai/knight using the Battle Master in a world in which subclasses named Knight and Samurai exist. But I can't stand...

Making the invocations cast the spell at the lowest level makes them even weaker, even if it removes the usage of the spell slot.

I don't really like the invocations spells change. They seem pretty weak at first blush, but because they use your warlock slot, they scale up along with them which makes them deceptively powerful.

Look at that perfect normal distribution! That is a chart of beauty!

This all hinges on the passage that states that ranged weapons are used to attack from a distance, but the fact that ranged weapons are used to attack from a distance doesn't exclude them from being able to attack from a distance of 5 feet. Shoes are used for walking, but that doesn't mean they...

Why are all your (plural) Sharpshooter alternatives removing the long-range aspect of the feat completely? It's an integral part of the trope so I think it's wrong to do away with it completely. If you're going to make the feat grant advantage, just don't limit it to only the normal range and...

So since everybody is in, let's just face it, universal agreement that these subclasses' names make them literally unplayable, I'd like to propose some generic alternatives. Arcane Archer- Magic Bowman, Arrow Enchanter, Eldritch Artillery Knight- Armored Protector, Mounted Defender...

To go back to the Christmas Dinner metaphor, you're pitching a fit because you hate mushrooms and the green bean casserole was made using cream of mushroom soup. "I dont like mushrooms," you seem to be saying. "If my family really loved me they'd not put a single dish that has mushrooms on the...
