There are plenty of Prestige Classes in 3e that would make nice Sorcerer subclasses in 5e. Some may need to be trimmed back a bit and others expanded. I would rather see new subclasses than bring back Prestige Classes. A lot of them had ideas and some mechanics that would port over pretty well...

Absolutely. My point is that I would let players take 4 skills from their half-elf race (if one of them wasn't Perception - house rul) or they could take 3 if one of them was perception (default). In fact, I might just give any player who doesn't pick perception as a skill a bonus skill no...

It was a mistake possibly pulled over from playtest era stuff. Ignore it. Use any of the other options. I would actually be willing to let a player trade out perception for two other skills or proficiencies as long as they didn't pick-up perception from a background or a class. I don't really...

I just play it by ear. If a Dwarf character wants to trade out Darkvision for proficiency with a musical instrument... that sounds fair, I might even throw in a language as well. It would be nice to have a master list of suggested swaps, but I realize that way lies madness too.

I haven't been able to compare and contrast to the previous Witch Hunter, but I am still quite impressed with the thought and care that has been put into this. If anything it really makes me want to see more core/basic classes each with a bit more flavor. I am pretty happy with the variety...

I would have probably opted for the 4e array. If there was one thing I would have kept from 4e, I would have probably kept that and the Fort/Ref/Will defenses with the choice of which ability to apply to which save (but give everyone proficiency in all three defenses.) The 5e saving throw system...

As a DM, I am happy to use the tools available especially Advantage and Disadvantage and Inspiration in particular in 5e and autosuccess or autofails without rolling dice for certain tasks. I don't see the point of throwing the dice if you are just going to ignore them. That is just as bad as...

It is definitely moving in the right direction. I just don't think seeing an old-style 80s Dragon magazine really fits in with anyone's business strategy anymore, even though I would prefer it greatly. In terms of what it is trying to do, it does it pretty well. Would love to see them push the...

It is what it is, but I am thrilled that is finally available via PC. Good work!

I would just go with 5E. I was ten years old when I got AD&D 1E with all the weapon speed and idiosyncratic shenanigans that went with that setup. I think that if ten year olds in the early 80s can grok that then without the advantage of the internet, then teens can manage 5e today.

Oh, a Warlord, I like it! Maybe the Paladin should have been a Warlord subclass all along.

If one CR30 monster looks too easy... how about two instead?

If you are looking for a Lucky change... how about keep the mechanic as is, but only give one lucky die out and have it refresh on a short rest? Most tables would probably still see it used three times in a day, but you couldn't use them all on one fight or task. Once you've used it, you can't...

It has too many connotations with "cronyism" which is so derogatory that it has infected the meaning of crony in everyday English so that the "crony" has the vague whiff of an unqualified receiver of nepotism. As a second Rogue support subclass that has support functions that mainly help other...

Wow. That is beautiful work. Nothing to add, I am just highly impressed.

I think that if you ever get to the point where a company like a Hasbro or a Disney starts offering major product launches on Kickstarter then Kickstarter has totally lost its instutional purpose and it will come entirely at the expense of small creators and studios for whom the site was...

Not to sound overly snide, but maybe they just need to make a Drizzt class and roll on since it is clear that is what a lot of people are looking for in a Ranger. There are obviously other models in Lord of the Rings since that is where it is derived from, woodsmen survivalists and in real life...

My feeling is that entire article was simply a bone to the people who wanted a bit of guidance in converting prestige classes from 3E and presenting the concept. We may never hear about prestige classes again or see them in a printed product. Other than a few corner cases, I think they plan to...

How very BECMI of you! Actually it is not that bad of an idea if you can resist the temptation to overpower the hybrid race classes. It might create some issues with multiclassing or players who want to go extremely against type, but I saw some attempts at race classes in the Homebrew section...

It is funny because I was very anti-animal companion when I took the survey, but I might be able to live with this. It is a unique defining schtick or power source for the class and it makes the Ranger something other than a stealthy nature Paladin. Maybe they need to build a rogue variant Scout...
