    D&D 5E (2024) The Undead Army Necromancer is not Designable

    The spell list is much smaller. And it's spells known, like Bard. MHP does a lot of math to make their classes balanced. (Though with the variant rule, the class can be pretty strong).

    D&D 5E (2024) The Undead Army Necromancer is not Designable

    It's not perfect, but I think it is the closest I have ever seen. And the class has built in sliders: a variant rule under which Undead animated by other spells (like raise dead) don't count against your thrall total. It includes a disclaimer that this means more skellies to juggle. I also like...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Undead Army Necromancer is not Designable

    I'd say not only is it designable, but it is designed. I would take a look at Mage Hand Press's Necromancer Class. The thralls have a combined CR cap, and collectively share one reaction and one bonus action. You can put them in a weird little bag of holding just for thralls. I think it's the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Gunslinger Class (from Valda's Spire of Secrets) on DnD Beyond!

    MHP is pretty good about balancing (the folks there are intense about math) and the classes end up almost underpowered, if anything. My favorites are Investigator, Witch, and Necromancer

    D&D 5E (2024) Gunslinger Class (from Valda's Spire of Secrets) on DnD Beyond!

    Yeah, it does, except the Secret Agent subclass is kind of modern flavored.

    D&D 5E (2024) Gunslinger Class (from Valda's Spire of Secrets) on DnD Beyond!

    You mean me? Or a general "you?" I'd love to take credit for this, lol, but I am just a fan

    D&D 5E (2024) Gunslinger Class (from Valda's Spire of Secrets) on DnD Beyond!

    It is its own class, not just a fighter subclass. It is big on DEX, d8 hit die, focuses on increasing crit range, uses maneuvers with a pool of risk dice (dodge rolls, blindfire, etc), and has its own unique weapon masteries (automatic, scatter, explode, etc). It comes with a suite of weapons...

    D&D 5E (2024) Gunslinger Class (from Valda's Spire of Secrets) on DnD Beyond!

    I'm in a campaign with someone playing this class right now. It's a lot of fun. Feats, spells, new weapons masteries (a first, I believe), and lots of guns included. Six subclasses...

    D&D 5E (2024) Where to next, WotC?

    It's old art of the mind sliver cantrip from Tasha’s.

    D&D 5E (2024) Where to next, WotC?

    An informed assumption, if you will. With Dark Sun being the only setting mentioned in the New PHB that has yet to be published, and now this, I feel pretty good Dark Sun is coming in 2026. It'll be reimagined for a modern audience, probably focusing more on post apocalypse gameplay than the...

    D&D General Homebrew Witch Class ideas +

    For inspiration, my two favorite homebrew witch classes are from Mage Hand Press and Worlds Beyond Number. The former leans into curses, hexes, and the empowered familiar. The latter is more inspired by Studio Ghibli, and leans into spirits and crafting (with a unique mechanic where you can...

    D&D 5E (2024) Guess the next 3rd party D&D Beyond book.

    The Kickstarter for the Drakkenheim monster book indicates it will be on DnD Beyond. Beyond that, I could also see Humblewood Beyond the Canopy, the Kobold Press Labyrinth Book, Heliana's Part 2 (Loot Tavern), L'arsene's Ledger, (also Loot Tavern), and I hope more of Valda's from Mage Hand Press.

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer to Be Priced at $29.99

    Yes! More than I was expecting. That's exciting. Maybe detailed Airship rules, and some stats a la Spelljammer or BGDiA

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer to Be Priced at $29.99

    In that case, yeah, 96 feels right. I also forgot about magic items. That'll be a few pages.

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer to Be Priced at $29.99

    There's some clues about page size from some of the page previews. Chapter 1 is the Artificer, and Chapter 2 (character options) starts on page 23. With 20-something feats and 17 backgrounds, and 5 species, that's probably 21 more pages. Three adventures DMG style will only be about 6 pages. 20...
