    D&D 5E (2014) Rate Your 5E Rules Expertise

    this scale kind of sucks TBH, there are lots of people that know rules 100% correct and have not made a single significant house rule or modification of existing one, and we have seen wotc staff in interviews not knowing rules of the game they created. but by this scale, I would give myself a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Fireball is a C Tier Spell

    rogues do not spend resources to sneak attack, and fighters return on short rest. I can think of only one. you are on turn, everyone else is down, BBEG is next but only on 10HP and you have only one 3rd level slot left from all available. that is the only time. that is true, however, fireball...

    D&D General Hands slot economy

    the whole armor proficiency is kind of dumb anyway, its just pure gamist thing, for the sake of some balance I guess. but the str requirement has merit and it should be for all armors. no proficiency, only str. some classes can get +2 to effective str for using armor. as for shields, they...

    D&D 5E (2024) Fireball is a C Tier Spell

    another take on how to make fireball more AoE and more single-ish target spell, or more precise, less AoE spell. damage 8d6, scaling +2d6 per spell level(this is mandatory if anyone will use 4+ level slot for fireball), each spell level also increases radius by 5ft above 4rd level you can...

    D&D 5E (2024) Rogue Weapon mastery and Pact weapons

    it's sad that as a rogue, your are basically forced into getting true strike somehow to get even close to martial damage.

    D&D General Which 3.0/3.5 Prestige classes would make good 5e subclasses? (+)

    you would probably be better with rapier+shield on champion+elven accuracy. I'll do the 13th math on champion+elven accuracy for perma(+)advantage plus piercer feat dueling rapier is about 1 pt higher DPR than TWF, with dual wielder feat, TWF goes up 9 DPR if Bonus action is available and it...

    D&D 5E (2024) Fireball is a C Tier Spell

    I would keep the scaling cost in, but it really needs to be a lot better. in general, AoE should be +2 dice per spell level, single target damage spells +3 dice per spell level.

    D&D General Hands slot economy

    maybe spells that are not touch, cone or personal range should provoke AoO, then you can always use AoO to disarm the caster. I would rather have ranged spells suffer AoO than to worry about "hand" slots.

    D&D 5E (2024) Fireball is a C Tier Spell

    As I stated, buffing fireball is in a way a stealth nerf to wizard. damage is still THE weakest point of wizards arsenal. more spell slots burned on fireball, less headache for DMs

    D&D 5E (2024) Fireball is a C Tier Spell

    change the die to d8 have scaling give +2d8 instead of +1d6 8d8 at 5th level will hit a lot harder. 10d8 at 7th is also not bad. and there is another benefit of buffing up spell damage, players do not use game breaking control spells as often.

    D&D General Should Gnomes be Tiny

    in order to be a tank, you need to give them reason to attack you. less damage, less efficiency as a tank smaller frame, less of a target, +1 AC fits.

    D&D General Should Gnomes be Tiny

    yup, fast in design and application. literally less that a minute to apply to character sheet.

    D&D General Which 3.0/3.5 Prestige classes would make good 5e subclasses? (+)

    it's better while you still have one attack. at level 5 it falls of for fighter at level 11 is way worse and at lvl17 it's awful compared to 2Hander and you don't get off hand attack on your second Action with action surge, even with Nick mastery. for ranger's it's better while you can have HM...

    D&D General Should Gnomes be Tiny

    yup. but I like also this fast "small" template for all races. small size cannot use Heavy weapons(add 1Handed STR based weapons that deal base d10 damage) -5ft speed +1 AC

    Tempest for fighters so we can have TWF that actually works for a fighter.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rogue Weapon mastery and Pact weapons

    at low levels cantrips are sad-noise for auto attacks of other classes. true strike fixed this a little, but without fighting styles and masteries and other attack rider, it's still the weakest at will from all. ah higher levels, using cantrips is waste of an action in 90% of the time...
