Warlock has to smirk, have heterochromatic eyes, wear a trench coat, and ALWAYS has a more tragic backstory than you. He will literally add details on the fly to have a harder life / be more mentally disturbed than you.

Blood Hunter tends to slightly underperform, in exchange for a neat gimmick and excellent thematics. Order of the Lycan is probably the strongest of the subclasses, but even so it won't threaten your table with anything outrageous.

For some people, it most certainly is Play. For others, it is something decidedly less than Play. Personally, I used to enjoy building flowcharts, designing devious traps (ala Grimtooth), setting up engaging scenes, listening to countless hours of music to find just the right song, and hand...

No shame. 4E did a number of things right, and made some big advancements in game design.

I've found the Artificer to be so-so. The biggest issues, to me, are the underwhelming subclasses and the lack of variety in infusions. That said, I do think Artificers make S Tier tanks. Whether your group needs such a tank is a different question.

From Baldur's Gate 3!

Hex is certainly more versatile. You can even Hex their Dexterity to give you something similar (in reverse) to Hunter Mark's advantage on Perception and Survival checks. And while Dexterity is not guaranteed to be the stat they use to hide/run away from you, you can pick whatever is...

Geek the Mage is a long-standing tradition. So it should be expected from moderately intelligent enemies with any idea of what spellcasters can do, and some indication that you might be such a spellcaster. That said, morale is an important part of the game. If one or more players are...

Divorce Stunning Strike from Ki. Make it usable 1+Proficiency per short rest.

Yep! Would prefer it to be much more front and center for 5E.

I miss armor material from 4E. And Dark Sun. And all those other times we had armor material.

Fun twist: Talk to your DM about wearing metal armor while you are wildshaped, and having it merge into your body when you return to normal.

Undoubtedly not. You can hardly afford to front that kind of money unless you're already successful. But I'm sure you've also seen companies who eventually do make it, that need to overhaul their entire system because it was built too limited to start with.

Two programmers can sit down and attempt to create the same thing. One of them makes something streamlined but utterly inflexible. Another makes something slower, but future-proof and modular. This is a thing that happens frequently. Different programmers at different skill levels can and do...

I was just making a joke at my own expense. You see, when I first started buying products at D&DBeyond, I was incredibly confused because I couldn't find the option to download the PDF of what I bought.

I'm still waiting for D&DBeyond to send me the digital copies of my purchases. o_O

Healing = Necromancy for me. That's one old dog that doesn't want to learn a new trick.

Whatever the player wants. I might decide on the fiction if the player prefers me to surprise them, which does happen from time to time. Otherwise, they decide if their character is making the choices or being given them.

I'm always REALLY loud when I'm invisible. Until I choose not to be. Sage nods.

Have you ever heard a pixie? Their wings buzz like jet engines!
