I was thinking about that scoundrel the liked to battle while dual-wielding tonfa sticks: Baton Rogue

And this thread illustrates the dichotomy of the situation: based on the comments, I’d think the majority of people are NOT going to switch to 5.5. But then I look at the poll results and it’s the complete opposite.

After the first UA, I was a big NO. But as additional UAs came out, I moved towards MAYBE, and I think UA 8 tipped the scales into YES territory.

I'm older than D&D by . . . 3 days. I think. In that video on the making of D&D, I saw the date February 7th being tossed around.

Chutes & Ladders - it even has the classic ampersand. Or Candyland. Or maybe some kind of Chutes & Ladders/Candyland mashup. Or perhaps Mouse Trap is more comparable.

There is a 3pp book called The Korranberg Chronicle: Adventurer’s Almanac that has a Swordmage class in it. I’m not really into Swordmages, but maybe it’s up someone else’s alley?

I was thinking about this one in particular: Trollbane - You coat your weapon with a substance to counteract regenerative properties. Your next successful attack does an extra 1d4 acid or fire damage. This substance continues to affect the target each round for 1 minute. ETA: I realize this...

It’s no secret that I loathe multiclassing. But aside from the broken builds that come from it, I also feel that it is stymieing creative changes. Countless times I’ve seen people come up with great ideas that could potentially be implemented, only to be met with, “but, what about...

I’m loving RoP and can’t wait for the next season to come out. But I feel like I would enjoy WoT more if I had never read the books. When I watch it, all I wind up doing is noticing all the things that diverge (sometimes drastically) from the books.

Huh. I’m not even sure how to respond to this. If people are new to a game and I try to help them get an idea of what class they might be interested in playing, without getting them bogged down in the specific class mechanics, that’s some kind of psychological trick!?!? You’ve left me utterly...

My stream of conscious thought: Change the name from Bard to Gleeman ala Thom Merrilin in the Wheel of Time. Remove spellcasting completely. Change any bard-specific spells (like Vicious Mockery) into class features. Focus on things like Tumbling, Performing, manipulation (Persuasion...

Since nobody else has mentioned it yet, there's also the Inquisitive Rogue from Xanathar's. It would seem to play as a polar opposite of the Oath of the Watchers paladin, carrying out it's inquisition in a less holier-than-thou, more seedy manner.

In that case, building off my previous suggestion of using the Table on page 45 of the PHB, take a couple pieces of paper and cover up all the columns except for Description. Have each player read the description of what each class is about and decide which one fits their concept. Then, after...

I was thinking of that too. One of the concerns with Spell Points is that you would be able to cast multiple high level spells (like Wish or Time Stop) every day, which would be too powerful. The solution would be either A) remove certain high level spells from the Sorcerer list, or B) use the...

I was thinking something along the lines of the Spell Point variant in the DMG, but with the base Spell Points Per Level lower than in the table on p289 and adding CON modifier to it. There could be an ability that allows the Sorcerer, in moments of desperation, to convert HP to SP (like how...

I’m still planting my flag firmly in the “Sorcerers should use CON rather than CHA” hill and I’m not backing down. After all, their magic comes from within them; it’s a part of their life essence. That screams Constitution to me.

A slight tangent, but my daughter and I introduced her friend, Iliany, to D&D and we started a campaign with the 3 of us. Iliany's first character was a sassy Noble-born Wood Elf Druid. We recently started a campaign with my daughter, Iliany, and another friend, Amber. When we were making...

Not only that, but Gaze of Two Minds won't even work if you use it before you Wild Shape. GoTM requires that you use a Bonus Action on subsequent turns to maintain the connection. But once you use your BA to Wild Shape instead, you'll lose the connection.
