    D&D General Barbarian - Best Damage

    Great weapon master plus 20 strength. If you can pick your magic items a giant strength belt or gauntlets of ogre power plus sentinel and polearm master. Pick zealot or totem avoid berserker or battle rager

    Karlachs iconic. Pity they didn't do her justice. Iconic cleric these days probably Shadowheart.

    First ones awful, wife didn't like it either. Both think second one is better. I'll be looking for alt art if they make them 5.5 art direction is kinda bad. Managed alt art core books but yeah.

    D&D 5E (2024) Advice with building a 2024 Paladin?

    Consider taking magic initiate: druid, shillagh as a cantrip and key everything off charisma?

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Gladiator: The Narrative Dissonance

    Erm Wight and Mage of the top of my head. 45 to 80 hp iirc. This hp bloat and weak saves especially wisdom and intelligence is why we use spells like hold person a lot. Command or tashas etc if not. And Fireball kinda sucks.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Gladiator: The Narrative Dissonance

    Gladiators always been tuned high in terms of damage. Use wisdom saves or better yet intelligence saves they get wrecked. 5E is default easy mode so they cranked up danage to compensate. 5.5 bloated the HP on a lot of monsters.

    D&D General Did 5e 2024 Not meet the economic goals set, and if not, why not?

    SR every 2 fights is about right. 2 covers 6 encounters the last one being a LR.

    D&D General Did 5e 2024 Not meet the economic goals set, and if not, why not?

    One thing that might doom it. Once the suger rush wears off the amount of piwercreep makes DMs job harder. If people don't want to run it you're in trouble. Players I suspect like the power creep. 5E appeal originally was comparatively simple.

    D&D General Did 5e 2024 Not meet the economic goals set, and if not, why not?

    Both xan very true. Big initial spike followed by rapid collapse.

    No one knows. I'm not expecting 5.5 to do as well because it's a revision. Generally revisions are better than the original but they don't sell as well (1E vs 2E. 3.0 vs 3.5).
