What I said is "almost all" and I believe that is true. I know it is most of them in the hundreds (or thousands?) of 5E games I've played with players from all over the world since the spell was first published in POTA. Your experience is just different than mine and apparently different...

I think the range on the Javelin and Trident are too long. If we are going to change them, I think they are too long in the current rules. I think the Trident (and hand axe and spear) should be 10/30 and the Javelin and darts should be 20/60. The dagger should not be a thrown weapon at all...

It breaks bounded accuracy, especially at high levels, and by a lot. I prefer the old version. I think the old version was level appropriate. Part of the issue with the new Indomitable is the Mage Slayer feat (I liked the older version of that better as well), the champion's Heroic...

The 2024 Fighter is way more powerful, but I generally like the 2014 Fighter better than the 2024 Fighter. There are some things that I like better on the 2024, for example I really like Tactical Shift. I like the concept of Tactical Mind, but I hate the mechanics. I do not like Weapon...

Or it is coincidence that those you play with don't? I've played with around 50 different players in the last 6 months alone. I am playing in 4 weekly campaigns right now, with 2 more campaigns I play less frequently. I guess our experiences just differ. I still think fire resistance is...

I am playing in a 5E Darksun reboot. It is my second Darksun campaign since 2024 came out. I would say it is "ok" but not great. The things I don't like are the absence of a lot of the D&D Tropes (classic Dragons, classic fantasy races, Fey, Bladesingers etc) and the fact it is low magic...

I respectfully disagree with you. 4E was the only edition that was so bad I did not enjoy playing it at all. What WOTC is producing now is not perfect, but it is light years better than 4E IMO.

In 1E lower level thieves were not very good at any of that stuff anyway and if they tried to pick locks in 1980s era adventures at low level they would die from a poison needle or other trap. The knock spell is the only way for low level characters to open locks without breaking them or...

Like I said IME every Ranger, Druid, Wizard, Sorcerer and Artificer have it prepared. It is not often cast and its use is situational, but they always have it IME.

No it doesn't. If they save, if they have resistance, if they have less than 48hp when they get hit by it. If my character has 1hp he only takes 1 damage from that Dragon breath .... if he is an Orc with 1hp he takes 0 damage! Also making your save is rather common, especially considering...

No there are not very many better 1st level spells, and in the 2024 rules prepared spells are not nearly as much of a premium, especially since your high level slots are what is most limited and this is a 1st level spell. You say it is not half the party, so add together all the Tieflings, all...

It is not cast that often, but it is universally prepared if you have access to it and it is cast anytime one of those players with it prepared is hit with Dragon Breath and has a slot available. If a bad guy Wizard hits you with Acid spray for 8 damage you probably are not going to cast it...

Almost all Rangers, Druids, Wizards, Sorcerers and Artificers have Absorb Elements. Like Shield and Healing Word it is pretty much a must get spell if it is on your list. Then add the Tieflings, Red Dragonborn, Arcane Tricksters, Eldritch Knights, anyone who got AE off list and anyone who...

It does not really bother me, but it does ensure the party can usually outrun the bad guys.

No you do not need proficiency and anyone is considered to have proficiency in it when donned, presumably from the magic. The whole point is that anyone can wear it and not suffer from not being proficienct.. It does count as heavy Armor though, so your Bladesinger can wear it, and cast...

Is this any more useful in play than a character sheet? What if you want your cleric to have a higher Dexterity (and lower intelligence or Charisma).

I played some clerics in 5E and pointed out in session 0 that I was a Cleric, but NOT a healer. That is not to say I would never heal anyone, I would use healing spells. By my PC was not going to be running around the combat topping up other PCs every round. I played a Ranger once who did...

Or the great versions in 5E. Just saying some of us LOVE the TCE Ranger and the 2024 Ranger.

Yes you can, especially because of the floor at 0 hps. Almost all parties with a healer will ouspec enemy damage with the new healing spells. For example, a Young Red Dragon's Breath does 56 damage on a failed save or 28 damage on a made save or failed save with resistance and 14 damage on a...

In the modern game party healing often outpaces those save effects, especially with the 0 floor on most damage. The Fighter has 2 hps left and the Dragon breathes fire does 40 damage and he loses 2 hit points. The Cleric casts a 3rd level cure wounds and he is healed 30 hps.
