Personally I think it would be simpler to just make a template with more options to pick from from monstrous abilities. I mean if you throw in enough options that you can basically build any typical sort of animal, why do you need it to be monster statblock? Off hand I'd say easy examples are...

And I think you're giving business executives too much credit. The corporate brainrot runs deep. They don't know a dang thing about this game or market or they wouldn't have tried to pull that OGL stunt in the first place. Or alternatively they simply do not care and will do it anyway. Again...

The real question is why is anyone here even asking this question, when we all know the answer: they'll release new classes as paid dlc / microtransactions for their new VTT, likely at a rushed or untested rate that has nothing to do with actual balance or quality of game play, but at whatever...

Other way around. The warlock mechanics should just be rolled into the sorcerer. I'm not talking a subclass. I'm talking get rid of warock and fundamentally rebuild sorcerer from the ground up taking the better ideas of warlock with it. Then take all existing warlock subclasses and make them...

I'd be okay with that too, so long as it was properly balanced. The larger point is that the warlock shouldn't exist. The two classes both eat into each other's design spaces constantly (i.e. we don't have a dragon warlock because of sorcerer, and we don't have a fey/hag sorcerer because of...

Where is the "A class that should not exist and should be combined with the sorcerer to give them Pact Magic for spellcasting, and Metamagic/invocations all fueled by sorcery points" option of the poll?

I have not used the game as of yet, though the wife, I, and a few of the other players in our group have tried the game out and plan to implement it as possible for our dragonlance campaign. We're not running SotDQ though. I'm doing an Age of Mortals game. My current plan is to use the game as...

So personally I'd honestly suggest a different route that is less optimized: Take shadow touched as early as possible because honestly out of all of those build options the only thing that is even remotely "Raven Queen" themed is that feat. Your table may vary, but for many tables level 11 is a...

Am I excited for the mechanics of the game? Yes. Will Wizards ever get a single dime of my money ever again? Unclear and unlikely. I never forgot who they were from 4e. The latest OGL fiasco is just a reminder and confirmation that my memory and attitude was not misplaced.

But are the specific formulas covered? I.e. abilities that grant an ability mod or a flat bonus to AC? Abilities that have "proficiency uses per short or long rest"? Hell the entire concept of abilities that can be used x times rest period? Or adding your ability modifier to abilities? What...

That's exacarly what people were saying about paid horse armor dlc in gaming and now look where we are, lootbox laden microtransactions and live service hellscapes all around. Before that? It was said the same about large department stores and grocery chains. Now a days? Countless small...

I have not, but that is only because I only have a dndbeyond account because they required me to make one in order to fill out their playtest surveys (something which I've already criticized In literally every single playtest survey I've ever filled out). I have not and will not EVER have any...

See you say that, but in my experience Dominate person tends to be lack luster due to it's "save or wasted action" aspect, particularly when doing an ongoing aoe effect or something that affects multiple party members is more reliable. Your milage may vary and it helps if a monster has legendary...

And personally I think you are not weary enough. Or perhaps have far more faith in a handful of out of touch executives to not make shortsighted decisions in pursuit of higher profit margins and the delusions of infinite growth... ya know, like every other corporation out there? But hey, when...

Most of the lingering hatred stems from how they handled the digital products from 4th Edition, which were largely broken, proprietary, and downright horrific to use, despite charging a subscription fee. And because Wizards didn't want competition they refuses to allow any others to get licenses...

$0 monthly and this is a hill I will die on. I am one of those "whales" that Wizards is wanting to exploit. Tabletop games are one of my biggest hobbies and I spend at least a couple thousand dollars each year on rpg products between offical stuff, miniatures, dice, 3rd party products, and other...

Yes. Because Wizards, a corporate entity under Hasbro would totally tell the truth about a major reason for not releasing pdfs being that they want to "encourage" people to use their proprietary (and now 1st party) system in order to have any sort of electronic access to their ruleset...

I also don't like DnD Beyond. Something I've been very vocal about both here and to wizards ever since it's Beta inception. I think it's asinine that one has to pay both a subscription fee AND purchase books a second time in order to truly use their product. And before someone claims that it is...

That's at least a start. I've still no desire to use it if it's more than a one time fee and doesn't Allow customization and importing generic assets. But I'm also llikely not the target audience. I have no desire to use DnD Beyond either and likely never will. And I've STILL never forgiven...

There's a lot of unknowns here. First, any VTT that outright requires a VR headset is doomed to failure until said headsets are actually affordable (less than $100 and does NOT require an additional gaming system/pc on top of it) for the mainstream. Assuming their "3D VTT isn't Referring to...
