    The mandalorian [Spoilers]

    Clancy Brown was criminally underused. Edit: I did like the growing horror aspect of the Madalorian hunting down the other Mercs. And the payoff of the New Republic playing cleanup for him.

    D&D 5E (2014) Are Barbarian’s “Meh”

    I feel the same way. I like to play a wild warrior. I have a lot of options to do that, but a Barbarian has just the right amount of "buttons" that I can hit in combat to have a good time without having so many that I feel overwhelmed. Other players might want more, which the game provides...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are Barbarian’s “Meh”

    And those are really still just sticking to the Berserker. Given the Ancestral Guardian, Storm Herald, Totem, and Zealot your barbarian could be a Hermit struck by lightning who now deals with occasional surges, a Sage caught in a Library Fire that took a little of that fire with them. A...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are Barbarian’s “Meh”

    Why? In 5e your Barbarian could be a Rapier wielding High Elf Noble from Waterdeep. And if my Paladin finds a sweet magic boneclub he might very well trade his mundane weapon for it.

    Ghostbusters: Afterlife

    D&D 5E (2014) Crash-Course On The Forgotten Realms

    The trouble with Superman, yes. Or Goku. Yeah like the CIA could totally end all the forces of evil in New York, much less the whole US. Edgelords gonna edge Yup you know they're bad because they dress in the color of blood. Yup, you know they are pompous because they dress in the Color of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Open Hand Monk or Bear Totem Barbarian?

    I'ts not that they can go their own way (apologies to Fleetwood Mac) it's that they are subject to fewer whims of the DM. Dragon Breath? Not a problem, proficient, can re-roll, and no damage on save. Rust monster? Laughs in no weapons or armor. Charm, frighten, disease, poison, cliffs, or...

    It's not an issue. It is as you say a good thing.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ability Scores, Proficiencies, etc.

    If I want to become a faster sprinter I can work on improving my sprinting techniques (Proficiency in Athletics), work on strengthening my leg muscles (increasing Strength score), or both. Either would make me better, but if I wanted to be the best in the world I would do both.

    I would love an Iron Heroes for 5e.

    D&D 5E (2014) Open Hand Monk or Bear Totem Barbarian?

    Monks in 5e are more single target controllers than Tanky damage dealers. They excel at getting past the front rank and stunning a big threat bad guy. Barbarians are built to go toe to toe against bosses with big AC and/or bit attack bonuses. Reckless attack helps you land blows against High...

    I'm expecting an imaginary Emperor Palpatine played by Waititi.

    D&D 5E (2014) Are Barbarian’s “Meh”

    Nice! I was thinking something on the line of choosing from 3 options that can modify your base Rage, and then picking up the other options as you hit the second and third Brutal Critical level. A simple one would be: while Raging and using Reckless Attack you no longer grant Advantage to your...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are Barbarian’s “Meh”

    Yup. The fact that the recent UA didn't have alternate features to replace brutal critical was something I remarked on when taking the feedback survey. It's the perfect place to add a few more interesting features

    D&D 5E (2014) Are Barbarian’s “Meh”

    Barbarians are my favorite class, but understand that they get very few new things to do at high levels. instead they get improvements to things they already do. In terms of "Buttons" the base barbarian really just gets 2. Rage and Reckless Attack. So do I hit the Rage button or the Reckless...
