49th session of my Dragon Heist/Deck of Many Things mashup. Three player characters: Half-orc cavalier fighter, halfling swashbuckler rogue, and half-elf evoker wizard/grave cleric. During this session they hit 10th level. The session started mid-fight with a Death Knight -- the remains of the...

I'm not making a counter-argument and I'm not invested in this topic. I'm noting content in the packet that I thought you had overlooked based on your comment. I was trying to be helpful, genuinely.

At 5th level, 2024 Warlocks can select the Mystic Arcanum invocation, which grants them access to a 3rd level spell such as fireball. It's on page 37 of the packet.

At first read, Fighter looks fun. Definitely an improvement. In one of my campaigns a character has a 9th level fighter (who has played much better than I anticipated) and I think he'd have a blast rebuilding his character as a playtest Champion.

Flavor of the 2024 Sorcerer seems very similar to the 13th Age Sorcerer -- an emphasis on magic as a chaotic, destructive force. Which is fine. But not necessarily what I wanted. I'd like the Sorcerer to be more about maximizing the effectiveness of a small, thematic spell list. I realized in my...

49th session of my Neverwinter campaign. Three 9th level characters: half-orc vengeance paladin, human genie warlock, drow evoker wizard. The characters are infiltrating the residence of the Tower Arcane's ambassador to Neverwinter. (Tower Arcane is my version of the Arcane Brotherhood.) They...

47th and 48th sessions of my Dragon Heist/Deck of Many Things mashup. Three player characters at level 9: Half-orc cavalier fighter, halfling swashbuckler rogue, and half-elf evoker wizard/grave cleric. They are in a pitched battle with an Arcane Brotherhood wizard, a major campaign antagonist...

Sessions 2, 3, and 4 of Free League's edition of Twilight: 2000. This time, I'm a player! Player characters: 26 year old American spy with a history of criminality 56 year old Polish truck driver who spent 30 years in prison 33 year old American special forces NCO who is career military...

Isn't the Psi Warrior Fighter the obvious choice here? Maybe pick up some feats for additional thematic magic spells. Aberrant Mind Sorcerer is a solid take on a "these aren't the droids you're looking for" jedi.

We've kicked off Free League's edition of Twilight: 2000. This is one of my all time favorite campaign settings. Even better: This time, I'm a player! Our GM for this campaign was the paladin in the previous Shadow of the Demon Lord campaign (and before that the tiefling shadow sorcerer in the...

49th and final session of Monte Cook's 3E Banewarrens campaign run with Shadow of the Demon Lord on Owlbear Rodeo. Five player characters at level 10. Dwarf Executioner/Berserker/Warrior. He now wields the sacred Axehammer of the Lost Clan. Elf Librarian/Wizard/Magician. Outcast from elven...

Congratulations to the team!

I've run a high level campaign with 5 players and it was definitely hard to challenge them. In contrast, I'm also running campaigns with 3 players and find the by-the-book monsters and encounter building work well. If you want to keep things simple, this is my recommendation: When the...

47th session of my Neverwinter campaign. Three 9th level characters: half-orc vengeance paladin, human genie warlock, drow evoker wizard. Short session due to lots of (lovely) chatter at the table. The characters are attempting to infiltrate the residence of the Tower Arcane's ambassador to...

Having run a 1-20 5E campaign, here's what I believe the four tiers are: Tier 1: Level 1. First level is its own thing and unique in the game due primarily to the fragility of player characters. Tier 2: Level 2 - Level 4. Characters have good survivability and are reasonably effective, but not...

48th session of Monte Cook's 3E Banewarrens campaign run with Shadow of the Demon Lord on Owlbear Rodeo. Five player characters at level 10. Dwarf Executioner/Berserker/Warrior. He now wields the sacred Axehammer of the Lost Clan. Elf Librarian/Wizard/Magician. Outcast from elven lands, raised...

Overall I like what I'm seeing. Some really good quality of life improvements. This packet is probably my favorite so far. The paladin is just about perfect. The ability to use Divine Smite with unarmed strikes is awesome. Now I really want to play a paladin brawler in heavy armor. I wish all...

I will be there for MM2.
