The exact opposite might be true. I'm wondering if they are leaning away from artificer as a stand-alone class and leaning towards an archetype instead. I like this archetype a lot. There is plenty of room for more "entry level player" options in the game, and absolutely no reason to limit...

While I can empathize with the letdown of seeing a lot of material that already felt familiar, I'm surprised you didn't see it coming. The whole point of the UA playtest material is to 1) playtest it, 2) identify what works and refine it, 3) and then publish it in a book. I would've honestly...

Literally first thing that popped into my head was falling at half-speed, like picturing a helium balloon with just too much weight attached. So falling damage divided by 2 is my on-the-fly.

Players who commit to being a regular, but then attend less than 50% of the time, generally due to other social events.

It sounds like you want to carve out a distinct niche for your character that no one else will overlap with. While there isn't a lot of information here, I am going to wager that those class choices indicate no one is taking a defensive/protective build. I would suggest complimenting the party...

Constant access to flight can be obnoxious for DMs at low level; I can understand the desire to limit it. Terrain, traps, and creatures that lack ranged attacks require extra DM prep or changes to be of interest at low levels. It eliminates many of the traditional hazards of low level play in a...

Wow. The derail is strong with this thread. Neobolts' Rule of Copyright Discussion: Talk not about the workings of copyright law, TOS agreements, fair use, fan projects, Creative Commons, and the d20 OGL/SRD, for there is no wisdom to be found. That said, it is possible that the OP can seize...

My long-running group has always let people test the waters at DMing by "guest DMing" a session. Basically, they run a short side-story that fits in during travel time or downtime in the main story. It is a great practice and way to let people try out DMing without a big commitment; I highly...

Yeah, the difference is better when casting at higher levels. I should've mentioned that. At level 1, Healing Word has the edge.

Sigmata incorporates a pull-no-punches approach to anti-fascism, the political spectrum, and religious extremism. It might be the most interesting KS I've seen this year. The creator is walking a fine line to try to craft a setting where "radical leftists, libertarian militias, religious...

Your take on why Healing Word was introduced was interesting, as I had a different take. While I can sympathize with 1e/2e old-school healbot players, I hadn't thought of Healing Word as a reaction to that. BY 3e, I was happy as a cleric getting to toss out Flamestrike or a offensive/debuff...

I think the designers are worried about situations where bonus actions interact in unexpected ways. As a DM, I'd allow two bonus action in place of a standard and a bonus if they made sense and weren't game-breaking.

I completely agree. The action economy is well controlled in 5e. The most you can ever do from the start of one turn to the next is 4 things... -Move (can be split up during your turn) -1 Standard Action -1 Bonus Action (cannot use both standard and bonus for spells, unless standard is cantrip)...

AMA has more hints of revisiting classic settings or a multi-setting book.

It jumped studios from WB to Paramount. I'm not sure what the takeaway is from that, but very little of the original plan for the movie may have survived the leap. It wouldn't surprise me to learn about conflicting visions, competing scripts, and/or hand-wringing over the franchise potential of...

I generally liked the movie. I need to view it again to really "get" it. What I liked: -Luke being flip and indifferent to Rey nicely mirrored his own first encounter with Yoda. -The Jedi teaching elements worked very well. The "failure is part of life" message worked well for the second act...

This is the 5th MTG supplement provided for D&D 5e, and they've all been free so far. WOTC veteran James Wyatt (who made the jump from D&D to MTG lore years ago) has been the driving force behind these supplements. I assume they are free b/c they are cross-promotion for the two brands. As others...

The lawsuits are designed to create a chilling effect on public use of 3rd party cheat programs. They are not about disrupting the Let's Play scene, that's just the way to get people's attention. Companies that worry about Let's Play typically just monetize them and move on...

Per the Associated Press (which works to standardize writing conventions in American print media) it's irregular to refer to someone other than an MD as a doctor in non academic press. PhD holders should be noted as such if their academic credentials relate to the article topic. Having an...
