Come to the dark side... we have cookies. Nasty, blood-soaked cookies in a pile of dirt swept into the corner of the tavern a week ago. But, cookies. << Mörk Borg >>

That may be up for debate. From the spell description: As you hit the target, your strike glows with divine power. The target takes an extra 2d8 Radiant damage from the attack. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is a Fiend or an Undead. Sounds to me like the damage is part of the same...

Monk Empowered Strike (new) vs Ki Strike (old): Are the monk's strikes automatically considered "magic" now by virtue of them being Force damage? Otherwise, there's now a gap for the monk against creatures with resistance/immunity to non-magical weapons.

They can choose different forms every long rest. Back to page-flipping. At least it's not in the middle of combat.

I thought they were going back to a monthly release schedule after the big "catch-up" packet, and it's already been like, 87 months since then.

I thought it was a 420 reference, but the author was too… 420’d.

There's a difference between love of reading through the MM(s) and having to do it during actual play. That's the real sticking point. Not to mention any analysis paralysis/overthinking when the pressure is on to make a decision during the game.

Fair enough, though "similar" doesn't support the warlock being inferior argument. I can still think of other combinations that add a lot more tactics to the Warlock (attacking using Devil's Sight with magical darkness) that the Ranger doesn't necessarily have access to. I'd personally be...

I prefer "Rangelock" and "Fightlock".

My current warlock forgoes Agonizing Blast in favor of Repelling Blast, and it's been... umm... a blast. I've killed a significant number of opponents just by pushing them off of stuff rather than direct HP damage. Plus it's come in handy tactically in other ways far more than just shooting...

I don't see any reason a character couldn't multiclass into sorcerer after first level in the current rules. Sometimes the magic in one's bloodline takes a while to manifest. But also, there's nothing preventing re-interpretation of a bloodline into some other source that gives the character...

Every so often I need to point people to these couple of in-depth articles on racism in fantasy and what D&D inherited from that. Read them, especially if you're a white cis male like me...

A PC with Con 14 would have Toughness 7, meaning they’d be immune to creatures doing d6 or less damage (barring Str mods) Or are you also going to implement exploding dice for damage? That carries with it other considerations. Like creatures using a d12 will explode less often than one with 2d6...

@brimmels just wanted to say thanks for scribing this massive post. And going back and formatting!

Sounds like they said in the Creator Summit six classes will be in the next package

The Rules Update should have started a little less than an hour ago. Will there be coverage for that?

Depends on what people thought was wrong with it. The terrain related abilities were very campaign or even individual adventure specific, and might often go unused depending on the DM. I'm in favor of classes having more abilities in the player's control, or usable in a wide variety of...

Not saying you can't, but it may not be presented that way in the final official material. Delaying the decision of a PC's patron until 3rd level sounds like a new player friendly step they may take.

Some of these questions about the "same-y" Eldritch Blast may be resolved by how the 1D&D warlock is constructed. If, as has been implied, they don't get their subclass until 3rd level, then 1st and 2nd levels could be considered "prep-work" for looking into, or becoming worthy of, gaining a...

Battlemasters do less damage with their abilities compared to Smite, and will have a smaller resource pool. Rogues using ranged attacks are giving up an increased chance for a Sneak Attack compared to using two weapons in melee.
