Hmm. I think I’d prefer to just have a variant feature that replaces pact magic with more invocations, and add back in the “cast this spell once a day” invocations, and maybe have some “these couple spells can be cast as a ritual” invocations to be in between normal at will and 1/day. And...

Updated assassin post

Interesting. I don’t know that I’d go that way, but I do think that the Jack should be able to trade SA dice for tactical tricksters benefits, while the assassin should be able to gain advantage with no action economy cost by dropping a die, with their mark also increasing crit range (at level...

Whereas I’ve never liked Spelljammer in execution (the Phlogiston gave me an irrational hatred even though I love Aether which isn’t that different…idk) but the Spelljammer set made me pumped to actually play Spelljammer.

The Assassin Concepts - Heroic expert in asymmetrical combat, with a mystical twist. Light esotericism with select ritual spells and the option to lean into or away from that aspect more both in the “Assassin’s Tactics” options and the subclasses. Core Features - Mystical connection to...

The Jack The Jack is the skill monkey, the plucky lucky hero who wins with wits and skill and tricks and tools. Core features Jack of All Trades, at level 1 Prof 3 skills, and a tool Specialization Feature, choose one Gadgets. Non-magical inventor Tricks, either very limited spells or...

So I have for a long time wanted to split the rogue into two classes, one dedicated to being a sneaky classic assassin complete with mystical associations (the historical group that gives the archetype its name had mystical beliefs and elements of their practices), special tools and tactics...

Maybe we will get a supplement for it. Or a book about the multiverse that supplements both it and Planescape

Good. I despise Disney as a company, but someone big had to get involved for us to have any real hope of stopping the AI companies.

Spelljammer is liked by everyone I know who isn’t on Enworld or similar places habitually arguing about D&D.

Ah replicate magic item! Thanks! Okay, so you still technically can’t make a gun your arcane firearm since it specifies wand, rod, or staff, but you can shoot through it anyway. More fuel for the request to count it as a wand for purpose of that feature.

Imagine the Warlock with something like Hex as a class feature. Now bring back the old playtest idea of transforming into the type of creature associated with your pact, like an archfey gaining cat eyes or hag warts, a fiend gaining horns, etc, but instead you have an altered state that is...

also there is a magic item for that, that is one of the Artificer’s replicate options.

I don’t see that in the UA. Am I just blind? I am reading the article and I see where you can use tools as a focus, and then in the Artillerist I see being able to use your arcane firearm as a focus, but the arcane firearm is a wand rod or stave. Well the gunner feat is from Tasha’s or...

I’m sorry you’ve never met a nimble person who isn’t slim, but my dude, it’s not unheard of, and elves are literally more graceful than humans. There was recently one who should have been an Olympian but she got so much hate for being “chunky” even though she was doing perfect routines that...

Nice. While I’m not a huge A5e fan, I can see it working nicely alongside 2024 stuff, and I do love some crunch in my martial arts.

That ain’t a bad idea I suppose. Another way to go could be to make it so they can activate their special extra damage state when they damage an enemy or as a bonus action by taking damage or spending a hit point die themselves. So basically it’s up to the player if they want to come out...

Blackguard is right there, and the 4e version even have vices as its distinguishing features (what 5e would build out into subclasses if translating directly). Edit: somehow missed how old the op post is, and the fact that you already went with Blackguard, which is perfect on every level. (I...

Yeah tbh that’s why I hate hp as an ability resource, it is vastly too session dependent, much less campaign dependent, making the class balance swing all over the place. TBH I think the class is a bit weak even in their campaign though.
