That does nothing to fix straight Rangers. In fact, all that does is further encourage a multiclass with a full caster.

It fulfills the simple fighter niche much more soundly than it did before, I'll give it that much. But if your preference is for martials with even a little more complexity, the new Champion won't offer anything that will convince you to look its way.

TM's Rogue is also an Assassin and does not have to worry about being slowed down by using Steady Aim at level 9+.

Make the damage once per enemy per turn. Give it a niche of it being more effective when attacking multiple enemies.

Divine Smite is still better guaranteed damage on a crit. It's also, at that level of spell slot, still better guaranteed damage on a normal hit against a fiend or undead (and fiends tend to resist fire, so even moreso them).

I'd just make Eldritch Smite a bonus action like the rest of them. Easier that way and matches the clear design intent for all other smites.

3e's Paladin was one of the most ineffective classes in D&D history.

Absolutely not.

Devotion and Vengeance will be doing that lot more with regularity.

Or even try to justify it.

The BG3 version is overpowered and boring BS that does not need to be anywhere near this game.

That "something else" was Ultima. Which for that to happen, Larian would have to both (a) buy the rights to the Ultima series as a whole from Electronic Arts, and (b) either get permission for or buy the rights to the certain elements of Ultima that Richard Garriott still owns. As a fan of...

More like, NO BETTER SMITES AND STEEDS THAN THE PALADIN FOR YOU! And I couldn't be happier.

They were absolute trash, though.

I'd most likely lead off with the conjure spell, but otherwise that's the general idea.

So that I can use my 5th-level spell slots for something better than simply keeping up my damage baseline. It does appear to work out that way, yes. From that D&D Beyond article, you have 6 free castings of it by level 17, which means at that point you likely won't even have to spend any...

Depending on initiative order, other melee enemies might catch up with and mob your new position before your turn and bonus-action dash come up, and you're right back in the same sticky situation you started in. And there's also the question of, if my Rogue uses mainly ranged attacks, what was...

No, it is not. The Scout Rogue's level 3 feature is a reaction that hardly ever gets used because Uncanny Dodge is better 99% of the time. You can't even move away until the enemy has finished its turn next to you (not just moved, but taken its whole turn). Which means you very likely got...

So, a feature you wouldn't have the chance to use much to begin with, and even if you had the chance to, it still likely wasn't tactically better than just using your regular attack twice on one enemy. Yeah, that was exactly the problem with 2014 Volley. It really won't be missed. And it's...

In terms of raw numbers against 3 or more targets, sure. But that doesn't tell the whole story when you consider that it's typically better in practice to focus down one enemy with multiple attacks than to spread them out, since you want to kill at least one target faster. 2014 Multiattack's...
