    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclassing and ability score drain?

    you mentioned already Origin feat for 1× per Long rest that you can do this. Also add Fey touched for additional usage per Long rest. and with a bonus Fey step so: Action; banishment, spell slot usage Reaction: silvery barbs, free 2×per long rest Bonus action: fey step, free 1×per long rest...

    D&D General What Should Magic Be Able To Do, From a Gameplay Design Standpoint?

    it really depends, pick lock is a check that you usually do until you can succeed, so if it's a rush, players roll, if they have time they just "take 20" on the d20 roll, same for investigation while searching a room. One roll is a quick glance at the room, "take 20" is ransacking the place...

    D&D General What Should Magic Be Able To Do, From a Gameplay Design Standpoint?

    I think that level of versatility is a bit too much. maybe you could have a spell book for ritual spells, similar to the feat. for collecting purposes. you could write your spells known that are rituals into the book to be casted as rituals. and you can pick a focus of the caster, that would...

    D&D General What Should Magic Be Able To Do, From a Gameplay Design Standpoint?

    I do not like the idea of classes having limited spell list or having multiple full casters. one fullcasting class is enough, with access to all spells. but, spells known are at the level of 2014 sorcerer. start at 2 spells and up to 15 spells at levels 17+ suclasses can give extra spells...

    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclassing as feats:

    this is great, but these are feats for synergy between two classes and making a combo better, not giving base class abilities via feat.

    D&D General Good Lingering Injury table?

    this, with a twist. I like the various tables for injury here, but stacking exhaustion is just much cleaner and easier. max exhaustion levels: 10, dead it you would get 11th -1 to all d20 rolls, -1 AC, -1 all DCs, per exhaustion level -5ft speed/ 2 exhaustion levels, round down. every time...

    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclassing as feats:

    point is that feat is so precious. you get extra class features for it, and while I stated that you do NOT get 4th level feat, if you are multiclassing into fighter, you would get 6th level bonus feat with 16th level multiclass master(fighter) feat, and you get 8th level feat slot with 19th...

    D&D 5E (2014) How many times in an adventuring day does your party spellcaster cast a cantrip spell?

    Since we are now 2nd level in new campaign we use cantrips all the time. True strike is fan favorite now. probably 1/2 rounds are cantrips. I will get lower later with more spell slots. Guidance is still a thing, but when we get to 3rd level after next session it will diminish in usage as soon...

    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclassing as feats:

    you have to take in calculation at what levels you get low level features of another class. and feats that you mentioned are so bad that no one ever took them. at least in the games I played for last 11 years.

    D&D General How would you make this ruling? Vortex Warp

    I allow teleports out of grapple, and being swallow whole is just extreme form of being grappled so I would allow it. It cost a 2nd level spell, an Action and can fail due to Con save and big monsters tend to have high Con.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Psion+++++thread

    while I would like dedicated psion class in 5(5.5)E, I will get by with my aberrant mind sorcerer with spell point variant, Telekinetic feat, subtle metamagic and focusing on force, phychic, telepathic and mind affecting spells.

    D&D General Languages suck in D&D.

    I would say, that when you have language proficiency you know your local dialect of language and any foreign you can communicate well enough, but you are clearly a foreigner. when you take same language proficiency twice, you get "expertise" in the language. you can speak any dialect of the...

    D&D General Languages suck in D&D.

    I agree on regional languages. I believe FR did that in 3E, you got bonus regional language known, depending on your geographical origin. On racial languages? Gods will it so. I.E: every cleric or paladin of elven gods speak elven language, maybe add druids, zealot barbarians, divine soul...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why Did You Take That Level of Fighter?

    problem is that many things you get via feats are completely overpriced. As in, they cost a (half) feat.

    D&D General If we were re-designing the Tiny Hut-esc 'instant shelter' spells what would we change?

    D&D 5E (2014) Why Did You Take That Level of Fighter?

    well, armor proficiency feats are complete crap, I have not seen it taken once in 11 years of playing 5E same with martial weapons feat, Con save feat is OK and it is taken as alternative to fighter dip if you really do not want to miss on fullcaster levels fighting style feat from Tasha is...

    D&D General B/X Vs Modern Ability Scores. ENworlds D&D Design Pt 1

    personally, I gave up on ability scores. I just use modifiers. scores are just a relic, they are just in game to generate ability modifiers that you will use 99% of the time with desperate exception of few requirements that pretend that ability scores are still relevant. removed racial/species...

    D&D General If we were re-designing the Tiny Hut-esc 'instant shelter' spells what would we change?

    that is why I like the secure and secret shelter from 3.5e better. it's strong but can be defeated.

    D&D General If we were re-designing the Tiny Hut-esc 'instant shelter' spells what would we change?

    it says that it keeps atmosphere comfortable and dry, it's hard to to that when a 3rd of your house does not have any outer walls.
