Indeed. This thread has been around for a while. He has since reconsidered his options and is trying to find ways to serve the public that do not invoke legal consequences. He has created “create your own” or “home brew entry” options to let users input whatever versions they want of classes...

I think they could save a lot of future anger and heartbreak, and maybe even build some goodwill in the community, if they would just be more open about what they’re planning and what assumptions and knowledge they’re working with. Might have some initial backlash as people find things they...

OrcPub was using some slightly reworded, mechanics-lite descriptions of features and rules items, with identical feature names. In my opinion it might have been a little too close to the source material to warrant fair use, but I’m not a lawyer and I think there are arguments that could be made...

The creator posted the following update on his Kickstarter just a few hours ago... “ A fan has created a petition to convince Wizards of the Coast to license with OrcPub. If you'd like to see the non-SRD content added back, signing the petition could help. Thanks Ryan and everyone else who...

He did at one point try that and got shut down.

I haven’t been back on the site recently, but have noticed the creator’s Facebook posts. He is implementing customizable elements into his builder so that you can add in anything you want (including official options from outside the SRD). It’s still a work in progress, but he hopes this will...

Since you can’t be bothered to read their debate, I’ll summarize: —Why would they reprint already published archetypes in Xanathar’s? —There’s no great reason I can think of except the AL’s PHB+1 rule. Those archetypes must have been popular and they want AL players to have access to both those...

I’m a few episodes into the audio podcast and I’ve heard Bahamut’s name pop up.

Yeah. 5e has equivalents already of star (goo), fey (archfey), and dark (fiend). Not sure if undying would be roughly equivalent to gloam or not... memory’s a bit rusty. A vestige pact would be interesting but might require too much mechanical overhaul... or a lot more customization within the...

A quick google image search for “5e class symbols” tells me Shape Water will be available for druids, sorcerers, and wizards, while catapult will be for sorcerers and wizards, based on that preview image. Probably not shocking, given both of those were in EEPC and, iirc, available to those...

And from that thread, here’s a list of the ones that aren’t reprints: That’s 38 new spells out of 77 the wizard gets in the book, so 39 reprints on the wizard spell list. Half. Disappointing. Maybe the other classes will do better.

Yes, a rather sizable number, apparently. Hopefully the other classes get some more new spells - I’d be disappointed if the majority of the book’s spells were just reprints.

Unless that 95 count also includes spells duplicated in Xanathar’s from other sources, which they might do, depending on if those spells have gotten cards elsewhere.

One could argue the subclasses already attempt to do something like this. Shadow monk = rogue monk Four elements monk = sorcerer monk Arcane trickster rogue = wizard rogue Eldritch Knight fighter = wizard fighter And more. Granted, not every class gets an option to blend with every other class...

One thing that sticks out to me quickly would be the synergy of Brutal Critical with the Champion fighter’s increased critical range and the fighter’s extra attacks. Also concerning would be the Survivor’s regen paired with rage’s resistance that would make the character ridiculously difficult...

What’s kept at bay by that? I was already assuming you picked a feature of your level. I’m not clear on what you mean by 1-2 levels apart, but I did say that you would wind up with high level features from both classes. It’s balanced to have the first 10 levels from two classes. I’m less...

Assuming you don’t run into features that reference features you didn’t pick, you’re basically getting to pick and choose the best features from two classes that may have different power curves, resulting in unintended and unexpected synergies. Multiclassing ensures an even progression in both...

It worked for 4e because there were few class features at levels after 1... you got to pick powers, and the hybrid got a bunch of options but had to bounce back and forth. In 5e, you’re almost describing regular multiclassing, but your way could create problems if a class has a feature that...

Celestial and Seeker had some thematic overlap, so I would doubt both will show up. I haven’t looked at the Seeker invocations recently - would it be possible to refluff or slightly tweak them to work for Celestial? If so, I’d guess they’d do that.

Yes, thank you!
