The Crab Bucket Conundrum sounds rather catchy.

Over in the other forum I frequent regularly (civfanatics), there is a saying, “gameplay trumps reality.” They try to make the game as realistic as possible. But if that realism interferes with the game being enjoyable and/or makes the rules too complicated, then realism be damned! Fun in a...

Or an even simpler way to do initiative that still allows the players’ Dexterity and Initiative modifiers to matter: at the start of combat, have everyone roll as normal, but use standard board game rules. Whoever rolls highest goes first, then proceed clockwise around the table. That way...

Ahh, there it is. I knew I was missing something somewhere. I think they should probably limit that to magical melee weapons in the future.

Why is his Longbow doing 1d8+5 instead of 1d8+2? Pact of the Blade only conjures a melee weapon. Also, as has already been pointed out, GWM is off the board due to lack of Martial Weapon Proficiency.

What I was getting at is that the way the 18th level ability is worded, it doesn't mention anything about spell level. There's nothing that says it can be more than the cantrip that War Magic mentions at 7th level, nor does it say that it can't be a level 3 (or eventually level 4) spell. If it...

According to the Eldritch Knight change notes: Improved War Magic now allows you to replace two of your attacks with casting a level 1 or 2 spell, allowing the Eldritch Knight to further weave magic into their attacks. But in the actual ability description it only says: LEVEL 18: IMPROVED WAR...

This bolded part reminds me of an incident that happened when i was younger. I had just finished off a carton of ice cream and my dad got mad saying, "That's it! I'm not buying ice cream anymore. All you kids ever do is eat it." Well, yeah. That's the point of buying food: so that we can...

Maybe that reference is too old for this crowd 🤷🏻‍♂️ On a side not, I finally convinced my 11 year old daughter to start that series since she just finished the Harry Potter books and was looking for something else to read.

Huh. I swear Jeremy mentioned in a previous video that the Necromancer was going to be one of the Wizard subclasses. I guess they changed their minds.

I've never been a fan of multi-classing to begin with because it leads to all the broken builds. WotC has a hard enough time balancing individual classes against each other, and this imbalance just gets exacerbated when multi-classing gets involved. As a result, some of the design decisions...

Reminds me of the Fraggles eating the construction of the poor Doozers on Fraggle Rock.

At the risk of angering the entire Enworld community, I'd love to see Multiclassing go the way of the Dodo. Or, if Multiclassing MUST be endured, I'd like the following rules: 1) You can only have 2 classes. No Fighter 3/Rogue 3/Sorcerer 1/Druid 2. 2) At least one of the classes needs to be...

NGL, I would have loved to have had the long weekend to pore over UA 7. Any chance they'll release it on a Friday?

Perhaps you missed the part where I said, "after they're finished with the PHB UAs." The PHB UAs need extensive playtesting before we can fill out the surveys. But the DMG doesn't really need it. We can read the changes and form conclusions without any "playtesting" involved. The MM might...

Maybe he was just varying his adjectives so as not to sound repetitive? I do that all the time in my speaking/writing. I not a big fan of using the same words over and over and will change things up with synonyms if a can. For instance, in my first sentence I used the words "varying" and...

Is there any chance that, after they're finished with the PHB UAs, they'll stagger the release of the MM and DMG UAs? Like, release MM UA, two weeks later release DMG UA, two weeks later do MM survey, two weeks later do DMG survey, two weeks later do second MM UA, etc.

This. I'm still in the "maybe" camp, but I couldn't care less about the reviews. I'm still waiting to see how the rest of the playtest shakes out before I make up my mind. But that wasn't an option in the poll, so I didn't answer.

Considering @HorrorRogue was looking for advice on how to create a Monster Slayer Ranger now, proposing an idea for a potential change to the Ranger that you dreamed up is not very helpful to their build options.

I've seen a suggestion by rpgbot.com that, rather than using good & evil, more accurate terminology would be selfless & selfish.
