That well depends on the person and the mastery. But yes all of that can be true imho.

Same. Not the insane Krynn ones more FR Gondians.

That's hard data. Also gnomes didn't poll well 3.5 to 4E hence cutting them.

Its versatile as well. Spellcaster or beatstick. Situational stuff eg gnome or dragonborn will never be as popular.

Im referring to offcual adventures. I sometimes do put in those high skill checks eg 25/30. Players often hit them only rarely struggling with intelligence checks.

Most of the time the DCs are low enough the rogues extras don't matter to much. Espicially with rerolls, advantage etc. And you don't get rewarded for it much. There's a DC 30 skill check in BG3 that can get you a legendary weapon level 5-7. In real games DMs don't tend to put those...

He's right about what the youtubers quote. A lot are to focused in DPS and a lot is tgeirycrating. I have played high level 5E. What messes up martials isn't lack of damage but poor saves. Dragon fear can't get close. And I've played the 2014 monk. I kinda like it. Damage was fine except...

You read this stuff way more than I do. I normally skim it, take notes and read it in depth when I want to run it. That may be almost 30 years later oh well.

Conjure celestial;)

As long as they don't run out of second wind

Mechanically strong lots of options.

We have a light cleric. The player was very fireball focused. Starts using spirit guardians. Fireballs now a occasional thing.

My players cast it last week level 4. Lasted for 2 combats probably woukd gave done 3 as we don't keep track of exact time that much. I stopped counting at around 300 damage. Cleric wasn't even abusing it just walking around on their turn.

Previously I have mentioned a few things. Basically I have argued that martials should focus damage while spellcasters focus control. Crunching numbers we couldn't cone up with a spellcaster that could consistently outdamage the meta martial builds for damage. Those builds are dual wielding...

New fighters ability can sub for rogue if its clutch. Druids and clerics and some Warlocks have access to guidance. Bards have expertise.

They've been wrong before. Treantmonk missed a key part of a build that ramped up damage a lot. Dungeon Dudes are kinda better. They rated Mercy Monk well. Colby is very focused on builds that switch online way to late imho. Pack Tactics not sure about.

I don't have a problem with it;).

I like HD by size for monsters. HD by class is probably to set in stone.

Save every turn still isn't great if you fail 75-95% of the time. That's the big screw up in 2E to 3E. Indomitable plus rerolls is not quite guaranteed save but I haven't seen it flunked yet.

High level 2014 Monks need an *. Can be good *(dice rolled ability score, How DM handles magic items, player skill, subclass). I impressed power gamers with my monk. They couldn't really figure out how to make it sing. The mercy and open handed were the good ones though. The rest were...
