I just read a different guide trying to find the source. It wasn't the one that I was looking for, but they seem to think that Wizards are one of the better choices (blue, but not sky blue in their metric) for grapplers. See that wouldn't even occur to me as a player.... which is probably why I...

I am not actually sure if it does help that much. I just saw a grappler build guide recommend that if you rolled your scores really well that a grappling wizard might look into taking Con and Dex with Resilient if their DMs allowed it to be taken twice. Con for concentration for certain spell...

They are a bit of the way there already since they pick up Con as a saving throw if they take Sorcerer at first level. I played around a bit trying to make a Con based sorcerer that burned hit points instead of Sorcery Points for metamagic type effects. It also had the ability to burn spell...

I was thinking of making the casting stat key off of the Patron (Fey and Angelic gets Wisdom, Fiends get Charisma, Otherworldly horrors get Intelligence) and create custom spell lists and invocations for each (plus possibly alternate saving throws and skills if you take it at first level.) I...

You definitely have to know your players and do any adjustments to character creation (either liberalising or restricting options) based on your experience with the players and the type of campaign you want to run. I don't actually mind DMing a group of min-maxers as long as they are all on...

I allow it to be taken multiple times. It doesn't really break anything. And I don't see a player taking it more than twice unless someone is trying to build something really unorthodox like a grappling wizard. If someone wanted to play that at my table, why not give the player all the tools to...

They probably should have had the 4th Attack come online at 17th Level to reinforce the tier structure and then have the 20th level Capstone be tied to the subclass choice. It would make tier comparisons a lot easier across classes in any case.

Not anytime in the near future, but I would plonk down some money for a cross compatible Alternative PHB with completely different races, classes, feats, equipment and spells that could be played discretely on its own or your DM could pick and choose what to include or you could play an entirely...

Yeah, I agree that they are probably going to mix things up. I do think that if Fall is Forgotten Realms again (which is a pretty good bet) that when Spring rolls around and if it is another Sword Coast FR based adventure, that there will be some level of fan disappointment. Although going...

I think we have all been there as DMs on the "major mistake" end of things. Usually, it is a combination of DM/Player communication more than it is that the players kept rolling 1s and the enemies kept rolling 20s. I would rather use my DM fiat other ways. The Eagles arrive to Mordor at the last...

Are we going to guess that the plan hereforward is going to be Fall releases of Forgotten Realms AP and Spring releases of other settings AP?

I am actually OK with the power scale. I would be more than willing to lose some of the core features of fighter or barbarian to get there. I just know for players who really like crits, they end up doing a bunch of weird multiclassing strategies to get there. It would have been nice if all the...

Would something like this work for you? Champion Variant: 3rd Level: Improved Damage, you gain +1 bonus to all weapon damage rolls 7th Level: Remarkable Athlete 10th Level: Bonus Fighting Style 15th Level: Superior Damage, your improved damage bonus becomes +2 to all weapon damage rolls 18th...

I think they should have either given the Champion the Barbarian's Brutal Critical progression as well or given the Barbarian the expanded crits and make that the critic class as well and find a different way to apply static damage bonuses to the fighter... maybe allow the Champion to apply...

I don't really see any advantage for Paizo to produce a new Adventure Path exclusively for 5e. The first question out their fans mouths will be "Where is our version?" I guess that they might consider converting some old Pathfinder APs to 5e and introduce 5e-ers to Golarion and hopefully get...

I am definitely of the school that doesn't see the point of rolling dice if they are just going to be ignored. I would rather do freeform diceless roleplaying than to have a bunch of mechanics, systems and subsystems that take a lot of time and energy on everyone's part to study and comprehend...

I imagine that when 5e Pathfinder comes it will be a third party meshing Pathfinder OGL/SRD content with the D&D 5E baseline of using set subclasses and chunky feats and the results will be a glorious mess. I also imagine that there are dozens of people right now pouring through OGLed 3E and...

I've actually been pondering adding that something like that to the Keen Mind feat (perhaps in lieu of the +1 Int, perhaps not). I wonder how (un)balanced it would be?

I don't think you have anything to sweat here. The 5th, 6th and ultimately unlimited rages just allows the Barbarian to expend rages on what would normally be non-rage worthy encounters. It is nice to have, but there is a reason why a lot of Barbarian players start looking at multiclassing when...

If there is one thing that seems a bit off in 5e, it is the Fighter subclasses. They are more containers for mechanics than a concept. The Battlemaster probably suffers the most from it since other than the feature that gives you the ability to assess your foes stats and stuff, it really doesn't...
