And? Then you have other choices than taking a weapon with Flex. Not all choices have to appeal to all people.

Treatmonk, in my experience, is someone who you have to take everything they say with a grain of salt. Their math is heavily dependent upon monster AC, DM playstyle and a few other factors. And, in truth, his playstyle is not indicative of most other tables. And... no, we don't know that it...

I'm going to go out on a limb for a second and come out in Crawford's defence here. Flex is just a simple and straight forwards damage boost. Its not tactically complex, it doesn't do much other than add an effective +1 damage average. There is a significant amount of simple Fighter fans who...

So... really quick thought. One thing about 1dnd that has been annoying me is all the complaints about nerfs. "Martials have been nerfed and not compensated for loss of SS/GWM!" "Rogue damage has been nerfed!" "Cleric staples have been nerfed!" "Paladin smite novas have been nerfed!" And...

As a warlock fan that likes the changes... no. Just no. This whole "anyone who likes this can't be a fan" narrative is just annoying and harmful. And, you know what? What's wrong with broadening the appeal so that more people can become fans? Even if this wasn't the way to do it, what...

Short rests are also on the party, not on the DM. Its a team choice. And sometimes they think that short rest would be interrupted, or doesn't make sense, when the DM was planning on one.

You know one thing that I want to see, no matter if its Pact Magic or Half-Caster? Bloody Hellish Rebuke actually be worth using. Make the warlock spells actually matter.

Yeah, its an issue where warlocks end up feeling either underpowered or overpowered, depending on how any specific table runs short rests. Its why I hate short-rest-classes. They're so inconsistent that it can be painful. EDIT - honestly, its mostly because they're a victim of the...

Fiend and Genie pact can. I default to Fiend simply because... well... name.

Its almost like there's more to the class than pact magic, yah? Or someone likes the themes more than the mechanics.

Oh, bleh. I misrememberd, which means Twin Spell just a bad spell points >> spell slot metamagic. Assuming you want to cast the same spell twice and have nothing better to spend your points on.

It works in 4e and its clones (which includes 13Age), because that game revolves primarily around combat, often even the utilies. I say this as someone who loves playing 13Age. That is simply untrue in 5e, demonstrably so with the example of Wild Beyond the Witchlight - an entire adventure that...

This kind of illustrates why I find Font of Power such a headache. Why is creating a spell slot so much more expensive than its reverse? And the new Twinned Spell doesn't allow you to share Concentrate on the twinned spell anymore, so your previous iteration of Banishment loses Concentration...

Probably not the VTT. But it was a thought so I thought I'd toss it out. I'm still banking on it being a Mage-Group thing. There's nothing that unites the three classes beyond being Arcane, and even the Bard and Artificer share that, so... they needed something.

No, you don't. Because warlocks are casters, and, unlike martials, get thing to do outside of combat. How do you deal with a warlock spending their spell slots in a social situation? Or how about The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, an adventure noted for its ability to avoid all combats and...

Over on reddit, someone suggested the "Everything's a Spell" approach is to make it easier to implement in VTT. Not sure how true it is. Or someone thought it was a clever way to make everyone feel more "Mage Group"-y. You'll notice how mages are the first group without an unifying feature.

To be fair to y'all, you could upcast Hex at the start of the day, kill a rat, then short rest to get full spell slots back while having Hex running in the background, then go dungeon delving. So its kind of there? The real solution should be just flat out make Hex non-Concentration. Or an...

Why are you worried about lolrandom? You can just ignore those parts, they're not required and you'd be left with old sorcerer. Except for Twin Spell. You want to complain about something with the sorcerer? Complain how they utterly ruined Twin Spell. Just look at it - instead of two spells...

So... you think that its balanced for a 5th warlock to be able to cast 8 fireballs per day? That seems a little excessive to me, and probably will result in asking "why would anyone play sorcerer when they could warlock it and get more high level spells?"

Nah, I'm a fan of half caster warlock over short rest warlock. Short rest classes were never something I liked. First glance feels more warlocky than the old 2014, to be honest. And I'm a warlock fan in general. I'm liking the higher spell slot invocations. Its simple and clean and overall...
