Naw, you're good. Conversation is good, and we're just trying to come to a deeper understanding of things. Maybe the critical balancing element that you bring up, then, is that this will easily land on mooks, who die very quickly—hard to farm goblins and kobolds, but you can't farm the dragon if...

Don’t have the book in front of me - isn’t a balancing factor here the fact that Paralyzing Strike goes off a CON save, which monsters tend to be strong at, and the fact that monsters afflicted by Paralyzing Strike get to repeat the save every turn? Sure, there’s the rare instance where you can...

Thanks for the answers, y'all! I'm not interested in houseruling such things yet—I was just curious if this were an option and I was missing it, which is not the case, apparently.

It appears that A5e took this out—I noticed that the culture that in the play test provided a feat now provides a chestful of skill proficiencies instead—but just in case I missed anything, are there any ways to begin the game with a feat?

Where is it? I’m extremely curious to see it. I was just DPRing the Warlock’s various EB options for optimization purposes, but I’d be quite happy if the work was all done for me for both warlock and all other classes.

It should take a few months, but one of Morrus’ posts on the Kickstarter mentioned that they already started on this.

They are planning on making and releasing a free, online resource that, to my knowledge, includes everything in the A5e core rule books, as well as a character builder. This was all included in the stretch goals.

Now that you’ve got me reconsidering my presumptions - I don’t have the PDF in front of me, can someone answer a question? If Eldritch Scythe replaces a melee attack - and doesn’t specify a range - that means it could get reach by replacing a polearm attack, no?

I find your argument persuasive. Now I want to calculate the average DPR…

Well... Yes, I think that there is wiggle room to interpret it that way, but that's really nitpicky. To be consistent you would also have to be really nitpicky with Thirsting Blade's text "You can attack with your pact weapon twice, instead of once..." Since Eldritch Scythe isn't your pact...

As long as heritages get bonuses that are more favorable to one class than another—which isn't universal in A5e, but is present—heritage will never be a decision that's entirely decided by role-playing, unless you weren't planning on making your racial decision based on the class you wanted to...

Green Knight Heralds can get plant monsters as their familiars. I thought the improvements to warlock would, alone, be my favorite addition… but somehow this has excited me more than anything else I’ve read. This is Fun Guy, my violet fungus, AND I WILL DIE FOR HIM. And carry him whenever we...

Eldritch Scythe can’t be used as your pact weapon. It’s a magical attack that’s created when used and disappears immediately after. At the bare minimum, that means you can’t spend the hour necessary to turn it into your pact weapon - not to mention the fact that, given that it’s not a weapon, it...

275 (just in case) Happy to be annoying about this. I want my invocations.

It is really strange. Not even close.

Yes! :) Warlock invocations next! (275)

Giving my boy the warlock a thorough examination, followed by the rogue and maybe the druid... then feats... Once I'm done playing with the favored parts of my new toys I'll read through the rest of the books.

Almost 100% of the reason I ever buy a setting book is because of the races, subclasses, classes, etc that come along with it... Zeitgeist easily hits that mark and then some.

I need to get a friend in a different time zone to get me one page from the middle of the Invocations section before Friday... Staying up until midnight isn't worth the page, regardless of how much I want more warlock teasers...
