Sure, there likely were tactical units of such people. But while use of magic is relatively common in Eberron, it is still not a practice that just anyone can pick up. Units of wandslingers were likely a fraction of the total military of any given nation. House Cannith in particular and...

One thing that @Yaarel mentioned about 100 wizards makes me think of something else to consider beyond the mechanics. What impact would this cantrip have on the world? For example, in a game world like Eberron, a cantrip like this would likely have been used by every soldier unskilled in...

I think compared to other cantrips, an auto hit cantrip that deals 1d4 force damage is fine. It won't break the game by any means. But I agree with @Saelorn. It's a boring cantrip. Some players may be drawn to the auto damage, but I don't expect by any means that it would be something that every...

Thanks, @PointOfIsnpiration, but I don't want this to devolve into bashing on @Quartz. This point has already been mentioned, and he has otherwise provided some good feedback that I am considering, though I do think we may disagree on some things (and I think this may be more about play-style...

I don't know that I would classify it as aggressive versus non-agressive, but certainly passive versus active. Many of the other Phoenix Sorcerer abilities I crafted are passive in nature in that they only activate once certain conditions have been met. In my personal opinion, abilities that...

While Fire Shield is an apt comparison to the Mantle of Flame ability, it is also unfair to state it is in the same level of power as that spell. Firstly, when you use the spell you can choose whether it is based around fire or cold. It grants resistance to the chosen energy type (something...

Ok, I adjusted Mantle of Flame to require a reaction to deal the fire damage. I also added that using sorcery points could increase the damage dealt for 1 minute, rather than an automatic increase. I also took out the protection factor of nourishing flame, but decided to keep the next metamagic...

Actually, that's fair. It's not neglible. But it's also meant to be the main aspect of the ability. The light effect is a ribbon in my view, and the minor fire shield is a slight defensive measure for the rare occasion the sorcerer gets into melee range. But I don't understand the comparison of...

But how? Light is a cantrip. It's a ribbon ability at best, and under certain circumstances can make the character or party a target, since it would hinder stealth. The damage extra damage is neglible until higher levels, and again is a highly resisted damage type. And I don't get the point...

There's already one in XGtE. Besides, what this is at heart is a fire sorcerer. You can rework the flavor however you like, maybe an efreeti or fire genasi bloodline, but I think the mechanics are worth considering. I was thinking about the comparison to rage as well, but there are a few...

Not that I'm aware of outside of Firebolt. Well, there's also green-flame blade. Shoot, that's a homebrew spell I think. Basically a one turn blindness effect. Good call. My problem is that what's to stop the sorcerer from hitting themselves with produce flame, or having an ally doing that...

So the recent UA with the Circle of Fire Druid inspired me to reconsider the Phoenix Sorcerer, which was presented in a previous UA. This is a first draft, so it may need some tweaking. Let me know your thoughts. Phoenix Sorcerer Ignite Editor's Note: When I run games, I give sorcerers bonus...

Sorry, I'm picturing a warlock (played by Harrison Ford) aggressively touching someone with their index finger, and that person getting knocked out.

As others have pointed out, this would be a fantastic spell for a high level bad guy (especially one that doesn't care about their minions). Since it affects a large area and provides healing, you wouldn't necessarily need this to be a long duration spell. The damage is nice, but you won't even...

I've found this to be true as well. I sometimes worry that my paladin character takes up too much of the spotlight. But I regularly check in with the DM and other players, and no one else sees it that way. But then, I'm not sure if that is inherent in the paladin class, or just a factor of group...

So I'm currently playing a paladin in one game. He is a paladin of the god of light in the campaign world and has always upheld the values of that god. He gives all his treasure away to the poor, abstains from killing people in combat, and spends 90% of his lay on hands pool on NPCs that the...

Not at my table.

I have house ruled that something like repelling blast, frost lance, and grasp of hadar works on each blast, but no more than once per target. That way the battlefied control of the invocations doesn't get out of control.

Well, what kinds of monsters would be most interesting for your group to catch? I figure high level devils, demons, celestial, and dragons can reasonably find ways to plane shift. Additionally any creature smart enough to have class levels may posses the capacity to plane shift, as well any...

If you're the DM, any monster you want or create. Unless of course you run monsters only exactly as published. Which is totally cool if that's what works for you. Out of curiosity, why do you need such a list?
