    D&D 5E (2014) Classes you're hoping WotC will create

    Just give me a psion and then an artificer and call it at that. Add subclasses for the rest. The artificer from the Eberron packet worked well as a wizard subclass called "Alchemist" but not so great to capture the story behind an actual artificer. Same way, you could reflavor a sorcerer as a...

    ELEMENTAL EVIL Player's Companion - FREE!

    I expect there'll be a document for Dark Sun at some point, if only a "playtest" doc like they did for Eberron. A full product launch? Yeah, that's not something I'm holding my breath on. But no cleric love in here I get. Given how cleric spellcasting works you can't just add new spells...

    ELEMENTAL EVIL Player's Companion - FREE!

    Maybe they're saving elemental priests for Dark Sun or something beyond the scope of a 25 page document? One can hope anyways.

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana is Here - and it's all about EBERRON!

    Laziness mainly. There's always the possibility I may want join a one off or want to play it again. Plus, once I stop paying for it then it's all that much sooner they just drop all support for 4th, and it'll be all my fault, right? I don't need that guilt hanging over my head!

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana is Here - and it's all about EBERRON!

    I'm in the 4th camp: Why am I still paying for a DDI subscription for an edition I don't even bother playing anymore? but more on topic, I was wary of the artificer in the article, but I actually do like how the infusions basically give you a healing wizard. I'm not sure how I feel about it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Some thoughts on WotC's release schedule and the OGL

    Did I say anything was impossible? Nope. I was talking about the way things are presented. I'm just saying, for a person new to the game who just goes to the website and goes to "tabletop games" there's nothing intuitive to say that DNDCLASSICS has anything to do with what he can use in his...

    D&D 5E (2014) Some thoughts on WotC's release schedule and the OGL

    If this is true, then it seems to me that they're still taking the wrong approach. I agree, they have plenty of material most anyone could use for his or her campaign, but I only know that because I'm lurking on places like ENworld. They should be getting those conversion guides out and then...

    D&D 5E (2014) Psionic Thoughts

    I'm not inclined to entirely design a class progression myself, but I'd definitely prefer a disctinct class with its own mechanics. At will powers with a few more powerful extra bits added; minimal 1/day additions. ... does sound similar to the warlock, but I'd rather it be more akin to the...

    D&D 5E (2014) MM Firesnake up on Christopher Burdett's Blog

    Baby monster killing is one thing, but I think we can all agree that the most morally reprehensible thing to do would be to enslave a baby monster, and then make it fight and kill other baby monsters or else subjugate them as well.

    D&D 5E (2014) MM Firesnake up on Christopher Burdett's Blog

    This. I mean, if you want there to be something wrong with it in your game, by all means go ahead. I think spinning that around on pc murderhobos could actually be pretty fun. But don't try to argue that killing baby evil monsters is so morally reprehensible a concept that it's offensive to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dragonborn and Tieflings, post-Sundering.

    4e Tieflings weren't ever inhabitants of Aebir, they just all were changed due to some interference from Asmodeus or somesuch, if I recall correctly. And dragonborn may have come from Aebir, but there's nothing in the Sundering that said they ever had to go back. Both races are just as...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock invocations using spell slots

    I thought so too. Having them use up spell slots just seemed to make them a "trap choice", and I'd like to see a bigger variety of warlocks instead of players always deciding to beef up their eldritch blasts. I don't want to be asked why my warlock pc picked the unoptimized choice if I...

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you think a psychic class should look like in 5e?

    After hearing Mearls talk about their worry with psionics being on how to decide on the right story for the class and then having mechanics to match, I'd personally be a little disappointed if they ended up just bolting psionics into the Warlock class. Maybe a place to build from, sure, but I...

    D&D 5E (2014) So...warlocks?

    Yeah, I agree. If I were DMing and a warlock player wanted to invest enough in his character to take the dual-wielder feat, I'd probably even houserule that the feat grants access to two pact weapons.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls Interview with the Escapist

    I like it. I'd even go so far as to houserule it as an alternate casting method for sleep instead of making someone memorize another spell for it. Though casting it at a higher level works fine enough maybe for the published rules, sure. The extra conditions do well enough to keep from...
