Does it matter? it's something that a "mundane" character can't do but a barbarian could conceivably do.

Why? If y'all want only specific types of supernatural abilities to counter dnd's magical threats, the burden isn't on me. I simply responded to "You need supernatural power to combat supernatural threats." Even a basic +1 weapon enchantment is still enough to be supernaturally sharp...

So.... monks, barbs, pallys and rangers all are supernatural to one extent or another. Do people have a problem with the guy using dragon powers to punch angels or the girl benchpressing an ogre for the fun of it?

I've got a magic sword and enchanted armor. That counts as supernatural power. So, no reason for a Fighter to not able to do things, no?

And it's extremely common for monsters in DnD to have resistances you need specific weapons for (especially in 3.x) - that's no different than batman showing up with kryptonite nuckles. Planning ahead is kind of an everyone thing in dnd. You don't fight ancient dragons where they can kite you...

The archery fighting style works great with Arcane Archer. But that's because they use a bow. It's hard to rightly say, because the best FS will depend on what weapons you take, which in turn requires asking if SS/GWM still have their power attack function. And what else you're trying to...

As an aside.... I find it interesting how many people default to "warlocks are edgewood divine casters" instead of just having a supernatural being for a teacher instead of a humanoid-ran academy. Blue mages vs black mages, if you pardon the FF reference. EDIT lost text, come back...

My monk can shoot fire from their fist, foot, or even butt,while flying and exploding. A shadowdancer can teleport and recreate Bad Apple using his mind and an empty wall. Mercy monk can punch the sickness out of someone. Its trivally easy to make a monk subclass based on Jedi with...

Dragon sorcerer subclass spell list Cantrip - Primal Savagery, but the option to use your dragon type instead of acid 1st - absorb elements, chromatic orb 2nd - Alter Self, Chromatic Orb 3rd - Fear, Fly 4th - Polymorph, Conjure minor elementals 5th - Conjure Elements, Summon Draconic Spirit

So, here's what I do. ~ all spells need all three VSM components. This is general caster nerf, but a Subtle metamagic buff. ~ throwing out the sor spell list. Instead, at level 1, pick any other full caster spell list. If you want to be wild magic with druid list, go for it. Divine with cleric...

You're not making any sense to me here. You said that it doesn't make sense to have supernatural warrior types alongside mundane ones. But we do. And then its a problem now? Is this just another martial v. caster disparity thing?

I mean... we have monks, who are by definition supernatural warriors, and barbarians, who have more supernatural subclasses than not. And that's before we start tapping into the half-casters. So its not introducing anything new.

That actually has a super easy fix. Let sorcerers pick from the bard, wizard, cleric or druid list at level 1. Basically, what they tried with the bard. But I find it works with sorcerer.

I'd ditch WIS entirely and go with INT and CHA. Wisdom is basically the notice-things-attribute (thus perception, insight, Survival, etc), common sense, willpower to resist things, and more all rolled into one uber stat. But skills are now decoupled from attributes, so there's no need to...

The problem being that Sorcerer isn't the monster class in dnd 5e. There might be dragon sorcerers, and aberrant minds might have mindflayer ties, but.... Wild magic can easily be halfling luck powers dialed to 11, or power drawn from Deck of Many Things. Storm sorcerers are just elementalists...

Some people call half-casters like the ranger and pally martial, after all. I don't know what definition you're using, but maybe don't force it on others and act condensending when someone doesn't? Just a thought.

People have complained for how many years that the fighter has nothing to do out of combat? Now, we have Tactical Mind for Fighter and Primal Knowledge for Barbarian. I'm afraid that, while a beast in combat, Monk will take Fighter's place as the only class at a loss of things to do outside of...

I would go... Paladin + Fighter for str/con Rogue + Ranger for dex/wis Wizard + bard for int/cha. Cleric merge into pally, druid into ranger, monk into Rogue, artificer into Fighter, sorcerer and related psionics into bard. barb goes part to ranger, part to fighter. all remaining elemental...

Good news. 1dnd UA warlock let you apply agonizing blast onto any cantrip.

One thing I hate about the Sorcerer... Is that it doesn't have an associated INT skill. Wizards and Arcana. Clerics and Religion. Druids and Nature. this one is probably controversial, but if anyone does History, it's the class that sings and tells atories about people. All the full...
