It’s been a while, but I think if you drop in the 1e Druid into 2e with their NWP progression, it’d work just fine. I would make sure to keep the 1e Druid as-is, complete with drawbacks (like the need for combat to progress at higher levels). The fast lower level xp progression of the 1e Druid...

Also, two very different styles of animation.

I’m enjoying it. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Most shows like this front-load the ‘intense’ stuff to show you how ‘intense’ they are. Game of Thrones did it for sure. Deadwood, yes. It’s how they prep you for what the style is going to be and it also typically takes the writers, actors, etc to find their...

I'm in this camp - it requires more give and take from the players and the DM, but I think it not only differentiates character concepts that may have some skill overlap but in my experience it also tends to make for more active engagement with storytelling and skill use, rather than five...

Favorites: B/X - Elf 1e - Illusionist 2e - Fighter/Cleric 3e - Hexblade (not an optimal class but I loved it) or Beguiler 4e - Warlord (tactical) or Mage (Illusionist) 5e - Gloomstalker Ranger or Wild Magic Sorcerer

Depends on the monster. Animals try to drag off downed PCs to their lair. Or ankhegs, purple worms, etc. Raiding humanoids or bandits may try to carry off downed PCs as forced labor or for ransom. Undead, like ghouls, whose unnatural hunger supercedes tactical considerations, may stop...

Nice! I got the Unearthed Arcana cover art... as a gift to myself. I was surprised and humbled by my thoughtfulness. [emoji6] Happy belated.

Yeah I thought I was not going to be into it when I sat down with my nine year old daughter to watch with her but I was really charmed by it. Very clever and sweet and a bunch of the musical numbers were great.

The Feywild is Centaurworld.

Sorry if you’ve mentioned this later on and I haven’t gotten there yet, but which one is that? Im a big fan of 1e - it’s what I grew up on so the nostalgia factor is there not gonna lie. And I’d love to start a game online with some like-minded folks, but to be honest a lot of the toxicity on a...

I much prefer 1e/2e’s multi-classing to the 3e/5e multi class pick as you go rules but they both address different stories - the former involves someone who starts their career as two or more archetypes and the latter someone who finds a new calling as they go through their adventuring life...

I’d pick feats.

I have some monsters do it - particularly ‘hungry’ undead - ghouls, spectres, wraiths, shadows, vampires etc. Liches and fiends might go out of their way to make sure that a particularly and personally dangerous or irritating PC stays permanently out of the fight (paladins, clerics, mouthy bards...

Transmuted Spell metamagic from Tasha’s might help with the fire issue. Maybe a bloodwell vial to give them a few extra SPs as well. Also - if you don’t want to add some spells known to the dragon sorcerer to bring them in line with the design of the newer bloodlines, you might want to consider...

I agree the updated favored foe is not the most elegant design Wizards has come up with, but I think they added some good stuff to the ranger class with Tasha’s - the new spells added to their list and known spells that are rooted logically into the class archetype, the updated vanish, and the...

Wizards and the GSL license made things extremely difficult for anyone other than WotC to create content from what I understand. It’s one of the things that drove folks like Paizo to go their own way. That and the the fact that the mechanics were so very different, 4e could have done with...

Iggwilv and the caverns of Tsojcanth have always been favorites of mine, ever since I was a kid. I'd love it if they found their way into 5e with something like this.

I agree with you that whether it's a separate class or not, there should definitely be a full 'psionic'-specific spell list, even if they go the subclass route and use the sorcerer as the base class.

I like the direction they’re going, and I’d certainly be into incorporating them into my homebrew setting, but I don’t know if it necessarily scratches the itch in a dedicated psionics setting like Darksun. Maybe future UA releases over the next couple of months will flesh it out even more? I...

I loved playing 4e but haven't in years so my memory is rusty, but I recall the classes at the table playing very differently. The issue I always had (some didn't but I did) was that I could never tell how they played differently until I actually got to the table - and then it would be a wow of...
