If your metric to measure "full caster", "full casting", and/or "not losing out on spellcasting" is nova ability and low-level spell slots, then you are entirely correct. If your metric to measure "full caster"/"full casting" is a class's ability to match up with the wizard in raw damage...

You can disagree, but that's how the math works out. If you want I can share a chart with you showing the evidence, but in short Neonchameleon described the right idea for why warlock spell slots look different. Invocations are the warlock's main class feature (after Pact Magic). They don't...

This is exactly how I feel. I hate playing traditional full casters. I love playing the warlock, warts and all. I think the WotC team hit the nail on the head with identifying that having a resource to cast more spells per day (that wasn't short rest dependent) was what warlock needed—because...

Team WotC, The warlock should not lose Pact Magic. The warlock is one of the most interesting, unique, and fun classes to play in 5e specifically because of the trends it bucks in spellcasting. Fans of warlocks really like what makes the class different, and if it has an issue of identity then...

I thought of this, too. I think what saves this is that Magic Initiate has you pick from a spell list, while the Pact Cantrips are not part of a spell list, just warlock-exclusive. I could be wrong and I don’t have the playtests in front of me, but I think this is the case. Wish all DMs/parties...

This is the real issue. There wasn’t enough commitment to giving every class a meaningful reason to take a short rest. Some classes NEEDED them, most… didn’t care.

Let's make this quick and cranky. General Shtuff Short rest continues to go the way of the dodo rather than being fixed, but despite proving committed to this decision WotC refuses to completely axe having features recover partially or entirely on a short rest. (This is also despite...

Woohoo! :) Fun stuff here! Love the Underland.

Thanks for the confirmation! I won’t worry about it, then.

Could I get confirmation of whether to just respond to the email or whether there's another specific email to send the pitch to? When I just replied to the email I got an error message (after "sending") that said the email couldn't be sent to that address.

Woohoo! Super exciting :)

I will admit to not being excited by the artificer when I first read through it, but after trying to deep-dive so I could try my hand at a few archetypes, I really like it. The only thing I would change, if given the option, would be to naturally give the artificer new schematics (for rarer...

5.5 needs Pact Magic to help the edition survive the nuclear homogenization going on with the other spellcasters. For people who don’t like Pact Magic… there’s an abundance of other arcane casters. Have fun with them. Warlock is my most-played class. Unfortunately, most of the parties I’ve...

Well thanks! I appreciate being on this list. I haven't been able to purchase any of the GPGs, so sadly I don't really know enough of what's been going on to easily state what I liked the most. @Steampunkette is extremely prolific in this community and I've heard and read of a variety of her...

Why not have a roll check for Smites? If, in theory, a no-spell slot roll-check system is balanced against current limits, then the same may apply to features powered by spells. Not saying it is balanced, just that if it is then the logic probably tracks.

Ideas around this have been shared already, but I think, if we want to try and put Wild Shape and these other features on the same level, Healing Blossoms should provide whatever healing you roll equally to all creatures within radius—you're healing 10HP? Now everyone in range gets 10HP. It is a...

reads Eldritch Warrior again What the heck? Why does this invocation not grant shield proficiency? That's... really unintuitive. Been too long since I read all of these. I think this is only the best choice for warlocks focusing on Pact of the Blade and using Eldritch Ray as a ranged...

I did the math on all of these, levels 1–20, early on in A5e's lifespan. I'm speaking from memory right now, and some experience since then, but here's the gist of what I observed: 1. Eldritch Ray seems to be, arguably, the best choice for the average warlock. It's the most useful in the most...
