Thanks for the feedback. Yohoho is a definite buff, but both the bonus action and the concentration compete with HM so I think it will be balanced. I think the idea in weapon finesse is versatility among your light weapons, it makes a club and pistol, two classic pirate weapons, much better...

Stereotype much??? This guy destroying modern art this week does not look like an angry grog to me: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/climate-activist-throws-bright-pink-paint-on-glass-covering-picasso-painting-in-montreal-180986865/ While I am at it I will point out that I am not a...

I don't know what this has to do with what I said or with Darksun. I did not mention climate change at all in my post, to include in the part you quoted, and the environmental catastrophe on Athas due to the defilers and Sorcerer Kings does not have much, if anything, in common with IRL effects...

Buccaneer - A Dashing scoundrel who sails the seas Level 3 Poly Want a Cracker: You can cast the Find Familiar spell as a ritual without any material components. You can't cast this spell except as a ritual. Dead Men Tell No Tales: Once a turn you can Sneak Attack as a Rogue. Your number...

In a historical book or textbook no. In an official publication of an RPG yes. The latter is a game and one that affords the opportunity for players to play explicitly evil characters. You can present canabalism, eugenics and slavery and the Sorcerer Kings as explicitly evil, yet players in...

I am playing a low magic campaign which is not really my thing usually, anyway I am doing a Human Rogue-Monk, currently level 12 (7 Scout Rogue/5 Drunken Monk) both classes use the 2024 rules with the 2014 subclass features. She has grappler feat and man she is a fun kick-butt PC, rolling in...

They actually lost at least one spell - Searing Smite, which was buffed in the new rules, used to be a Ranger spell, now it is no longer on their list. :mad: I think these three need to change to accommodate spells that are either non-damaging or non-concentration. I also think it needs to...

For something intended to simplify, it seems rather complicated and also prone to exploit, espcially when combined with masteries that are purposely lacking on light weapons (Sap!). It also does not address what is the biggest complexity problem with the rules, and that is the different damage...

It will certainly be interesting, Daggerheart is the first thing I have seen that has a chance to unseat D&D. As far as the paragraph I qouted, I don't think "that crowd" is going to adapt Daggerheart. The people that wanted "innovative fixes" to 5E are a minority I think and I think...

This sounds elegant, but I think you will run into problems in play. In most tables there are people who do not understand their PC abilities and they rely on the DM to frequently tell them how their character works. Grouping many of the options into a class makes this a lot easier on the DM.

It depends what you want to do. If you want a character who is primarily fighting with weapons in close contact melee, the new Bladelock is tough as a single class. There are two BIG shortfalls: no weapon mastery and light armor. You can mitigate one of those pretty easy, but mitigating...

That was a long time ago. WOTC is different now, with top notch programmers. Look how well they did with Sigil!

This is too much crunch for most players and most tables I think.

Will this have subclasses, spells etc unique to FR?

In D&D parlance, I think he is more of a demigod unless there is something I am not remembering right.

Spells are an integral part of a Ranger for me. I see them in Tolkein's description of Aragorn and I see it in most of the D&D iterations. While they do describe what a Ranger can do, as an abstract in the D&D rule set it fits nicely. Drizzt does not fit well in my definition of a stereotype...

I am not really "ok" with HM being a central part of the class and a specific class feature for four levels. The only thing that makes it "ok" is that the rest of the class and especially subclass abilities let you build a fun character despite that. You can basically ignore those features for...

Lost Library of Cormanthyr. Baylee is the main character in the novel and was adopted and trained by a Wizard named Faant Golsway. Golsway also trained at least two other Rangers, one of whom is Baylee's rival and lover. In the book the training part is "backstory" as Baylee and the other two...

IDK Baylee Arnold was trained by a Wizard in Waterdeep and he is one of relatively few Rangers written about in official D&D novels.

I would like to see more varied Ranger spells, especially Arcane-type spells but that is true whether they keep or delete Hunter's Mark. If we removed Hunter's Mark from the game we would obviously need to replace or change the four class features that are specific to it, but I would not...
