    New D&D Unearthed Arcana Reveals Two New Subclasses for Monk and Sorcerer, Plus Revamps For Seven More

    I think your missing a few things. AA effects are much stronger. Restrained >> Trip, especially for a ranged attacker. Many of the effects roll twice the damage. Curving short doesn't take a die. It's just a bonus action attack if you miss. To put some quick numbers to it. AA adds 6d6 (21) at...

    New D&D Unearthed Arcana Reveals Two New Subclasses for Monk and Sorcerer, Plus Revamps For Seven More

    You may have missed that Banishing is +1dx Where most others are +2dx You also lose the opportunity to focus fire. You did damage to someone your allies can't target. Compared to Blind which gives your party advantage to hit it.

    D&D 5E (2024) Armor as THP?

    If a level 1 wizard can do it at-will with 1 action, then i don't see much issue with a fighter being able to repair armor over a short rest. Besides, I expect half of it is grabbing your helmet that flew off, tightening laces that came loose, getting slime out of your boots, pulling arrows out...

    D&D 5E (2024) Armor as THP?

    Mending 1 action Restore 1d4 armor points At higher level: at level 5 eestore 2d4, 11 restore 3d4, 17 restore 4d4 Small enough to not be worthwhile in combat (unless your an Armorer Artificer with some big bonus). But refillable with a few minutes work.

    D&D 5E (2024) Magic Item Armour sale question

    They did it for game reason, not realism. You need to separate out item levels more clearly and not let a level 2 party but level 20 equipment. Not that magic items are realistic in the first place. But it's supposed to be "rare and special" not "rich army mass producing wands of magic...

    I guess that is the other way of reducing die rolls.

    D&D 5E (2024) Armor as THP?

    So if you don't have proficiency, and attack a extremely tiny target, then you can miss, sometimes. That's far enough outside normal D&D combats to not worry about IMO.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 5e 2024 Monk Handbook

    Pteranodon 60 fly speed, and doesn't provoke opportunity attacks. Only +2 Dex, but you can still grapple and dash drop.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 5e 2024 Monk Handbook

    At higher levels, yes. But not at level 2. Your AC is basically the same either way, no real bonus. Multiattack won't stack. Primal Stike doesn't work with unarmed attacks. Deflect Attacks work with THP, but it's just added and not multiplied. Dex is likely lowered in beast form (maybe?)...

    D&D 5E (2024) Armor as THP?

    Moving tales effort. It drains your stamina (HP). It's not like PCs can be "hit" by a sword multiple times. HP isn't how many chunks of flesh can be carved off of you. No. This is to simplify, not complicate.

    D&D 5E (2024) Armor as THP?

    They stack. I guess I could say 'increase max HP' instead of armor points. Have you ever actually missed when you swung a sword at something? No. It's been blocked or dodged, but that's effort of the targets part. But mostly it's just extra rolling that slows the game down.

    Moon druid isn't as OP at low levels anymore. Which means dipping isn't as powerful. Otherwise it still works. In some ways nicer.

    D&D 5E (2024) Armor as THP?

    I'm sure some features would need tweaks. Defensive Duelist for instance. You repair it when you rest. Think it should be short rest recharge? Thought about that too, but that makes single big hits (rogue) better than a lot of small hits (dual wielding). The goal is that if they can take 10...

    D&D 5E (2024) Armor as THP?

    One of my biggest pet peves about D&D is rolling to hit and then rolling for damage. So what if Armor was just a form of THP? All attacks always hit. THP first, Armor Points Second, HP third Armor points are (AC-10)* your level, regained after a long rest. (Dis)advantage means rerolling damage...

    D&D 5E (2024) Martials: damage scaling like cantrips?

    That was the intent. It's kind of like complaining that Balders Gate 3 4.1.1.3622274 is the only true game. And Balders Gate 3 4.1.1.6758295 is a completely different game and every wiki and fan site should acknowledge they are separate them. And Larian making it hard to download the original...
