    D&D 5E (2014) Making 5E a short rest game

    I have had a coupe of threads focused towards changing the Long rest casters into Short rest ones using the Warlock Chassis, but just started thinking earlier (about 10 minutes ago, as I was writing a response to someone in a different thread) about a better way to change them. What if full...

    D&D 5E (2014) Blow it up! What class need to be completely re-worked in 5e?

    I agree with most of your post, and still agree with some of these things. Here is my 2 cp. I consider "Fighter" just as Anomalous as Ranger. I actually like this part of ranger, as it feels to me like it should be a little vague. just IMO though. As for abilities that are useless, I hate Turn...

    D&D 5E (2014) Blow it up! What class need to be completely re-worked in 5e?

    Barbarian- Fine, Neither name nor mechanics bother me. Bard- Not my favorite class, but alright as is. I might change it to half caster, with more out-of-combat abilities to make up for it. Would be more interesting than yet another Combat-oriented half caster. Cleric- Blow it up, much as I...

    D&D 5E (2014) A change of perspective: From DM to Player

    As far as I have seen mentioned on these forums, a good number of the designers from 4E stuck around for 5E, IIRC. Maybe I am misremembering what I have read though, so don't quote me on that.

    D&D 5E (2014) Blade Pact Warlocks and Conventional Wisdom

    Chainlock would work best pulling from the Beastmaster, except with more strange familiars than the Ranger gets, I think. A familiar that scales like a Beast companion, with a little bit of combat ability. Tome lock would be a pure caster, arguably the "Base" Warlock. Ritual casting, maybe an...

    D&D 5E (2014) Blade Pact Warlocks and Conventional Wisdom

    After the Warlock UA, I wonder if all of the "Patron" Abilities should be Invocations, and the Pacts should act as the Subclasses. That might be an interesting thing for me to try at some point.

    D&D 5E (2014) Moving diagonally between enemies on a grid

    I would be interested in a guide on using Hexes for a standard dungeon.

    D&D 5E (2014) Blade Pact Warlocks and Conventional Wisdom

    I look at full casters based on the level of spell they are limited to. In general, going to 9th level spells takes a lot of "Slots" allotted to a class. The "issue" with Warlock, in this context, is that they technically have spells to 9th level, but not a large selection of them. They get...

    D&D 5E (2014) Blade Pact Warlocks and Conventional Wisdom

    They are still a Full caster though, meaning that their Limited casting should, if they need a change, be balanced off by slightly greater Melee capabilities, not melee capabilities equal to the Fighter. I could maybe see giving them a free Extra attack at 5th, then an Invocation (Bladelock...

    D&D 5E (2014) Blade Pact Warlocks and Conventional Wisdom

    The number one thing I still don't understand is, Why is everyone comparing the Bladelock to the fighter? Full caster with some melee vs. Pure martial? I already had a thread on this subject, but the comparison should be with Valor Bard and BladeSinger wizard, the other two Full casters w/...

    D&D 5E (2014) So long and thanks for all the fish!

    I do, but do not feel most of what I have created is to the point of sharing yet. As I mentioned, I had the World building threads that hold some of my work. Most of my current bits are more behind-the-scenes lore stuff that are too partial, IMO, to consider sharing. Once I make some more...

    D&D 5E (2014) So long and thanks for all the fish!

    I tend to start threads when I have questions. As I have learned the rules, I have had fewer questions. I don't need to ask how to make a Magmin PC race, because I know enough to figure it out for myself. The threads I start now are mostly probably unnecessary, as I tend to answer my own...

    In case it looked that way, I was not correcting you just for the purpose of correcting you. I just figured knowing the name to google might help anyone outside the loop to get on the same page.

    You are thinking of the Extended DC Universe, I think. Marvel is the one with the "Cinematic Universe"

    D&D 5E (2014) Assumptions on Hit Points and Armor Class...

    So, coming back to this. I think that AC should be basically a third health bar, and it is depleted before your Temp HP. I will stick by my earlier thought of level+1*AC to find out how much you get, as that feels like a good enough number. Recharge on a short rest for a Heroic style game, but...

    D&D 5E (2014) Let's make some magic items

    There was an entire thread for this, I can't remember if it was before or after the Forum loss. No ideas to immediately contribute, but I will go look for that thread.

    D&D 5E (2014) Anyone else think the Bard concept is just silly?

    There are examples of such characters, and it is hardly the fault of the OP if some people specifically portray their Bard as that type of character. Scanlan from Critical Role for example, was portrayed as extremely weak and whiny. Any time someone recommended he draw his sword he would loudly...

    Ah, I see I misunderstood you as well, ignore at least part of my last post.
