Warlocks are also relatively easy on resource tracking. Pact Magic is a few spell slots all of the same level, cantrips are at-will, and Invocations uses for spells are typically at-will.

Are you referring to this?

I would add that species choices can also impact soft multiclassing like that.

So... Path of the Wild Heart Barbarians qualify as spellcasters for attunement starting from 3rd level. Psi Warrior Fighters qualify as spellcasters for attunement starting at 18th level even though they have magic actions earlier Warrior of Shadow and Warrior of the Elements Monks qualify as...

TBF the OP points out those need additional support from a background and it's about flavor more than mechanics. If I make a High Elf cleric or druid with a bonus to INT skills like that with the Sage background and choose the Light or Land subclasses there's going to be a good chunk of wizard...

Shape-shifting in combat is needs based. It's an option if needed but could be done after combat. I see your point, though. Healing in combat is typically a poor use of action economy, even with big numbers and whether hp or thp, an more the result of things going poorly. Limiting the number...

That's still true for all concentration spells and doesn't justify amping them up as demonstrated by looking at other concentration spells. Most of them should be amped based on that presumption.

How often are your PC's facing opponents capable of dispelling or counterspelling your PC's? Seems more like the exception than the rule to me. Breaking concentration is a plan, but individual attacks don't add up to a big DC to break it. Both of those are beside the point. They are still...

That depends. Saving Throws don't always fail on a "1". The 1's and 20's rule only applies to attack rolls. If my caster has War Caster and proficiency in CON saves that's a lot of attacks that can be dismissed for the concentration check. +3 CON bonus and that proficiency means any single...

It takes 17 levels to get Shapechange. That's a long term plan, lol. From the 2014 version... 2014 Shapechange was possible to power through the hit points. The Dragon Turtle example would have ended the Shapechange after 341 hp of damage because shape-shifting couldn't replace those hit...

The temp hp don't need to add together for the advantage here. A 17th level Wizard with 104 hp who uses Shapechange to shape-shift into a Dragon Turtle gains 341 temp hp, or more than 3x their actual hp. The Wizard can then shape-shift into an Elf and when given the choice of the new thp or...

Shapechange grants temporary hit points when shape-shifting, not when casting the spell, and doesn't lose them with the form. During the duration of the spell this can be repeated with a Magic action. For example, shape-shifting into 300+ hp creatures 60 times during the spell duration can...

After the last thread I thought I'd see what I could throw into an Artificer pass. Thoughts or suggestions? Artificer Core Artificer Traits Primary Ability Intelligence Hit Point Die D8 per Artificer level Saving Throw Proficiencies Constitution and Intelligence Skill...

No one runs it as a 15'x15' of whom I am aware. You're thinking grid centering on a point between the squares. Center it on a targeted creature and then expand the radius out 5' from there and you're targeting at a different center that isn't slightly beside you're main target. Centered on...

That's still subjective opinion. Clerics still don't offer Tool Expertise or Flash of Genius, and Find Traps still isn't close to using Thieves' Tools. It's not power creep. Adjustments went both ways. This includes some Artificer spells and how tool interaction works. Alchemists adding...

Using either during combat is often still bad. Action economy after combat is irrelevant so the better healing for the same slot is a better choice, but it was just an example coming from the healing discussion. Paladins and Rangers also don't have Healing Word. Bards and Druids don't have...

It's not removed because Artificers stiff have it until WotC says otherwise. Backwards compatibility. ;-) Yes. As mentioned the Skilled Feat grants it an many tool descriptions. Here's a basic run down. A tool helps you make specialized ability checks, craft certain items, or both.

I saying you're vastly over-rating just about every other class. If we're talking about 1st level the Artificer has the same two spell slots as the Cleric, Druid, Bard, Ranger, or Paladin. Those same 2 slots use Cure Wounds for the same healing. That's assuming the Bard prepped Cure Wounds as...

Ranger maybe, but the healing just went down and the argument was Paladins were better support because of Lay on Hands. I would argue that Infusions provide more support than some people think but if they're looking for big moment abilities the class is not designed for them. The only reason I...

And the Paladin still doesn't give out Infusions for those benefits or uses Thieves' Tools with advantage for opening locks or disabling traps. Those functions support the group too.
