I don't really like attack cantrips that have saving throws. I prefer to roll my own at-will attacks rather than having the DM roll every time. It's just more fun for me (and probably easier for the DM too). So it's a bit disappointing to play an evoker and not have the satisfaction of rolling...

Doesn't the transmuter specialist have a feature that lets them cast this spell on themselves for free? (I don't have my PHB yet). If so, then it wasn't primarily meant for offensive use.

I didn't see a thread about this, so I thought I'd start one. Behold, the Flumph! https://twitter.com/ameron_dm/status/499986663863361536/photo/1

The way it is now, picking ray of frost, fire bolt or shocking grasp are inferior choices. So intentional or not, it was still a poor design choice. Look at the empowered evocation ability. That makes picking evocation spells a better choice for the evoker than picking spells from other schools...

I can understand why people would be annoyed if a player was exploiting the rules to make an overpowered character, but using a spell as written and intended is not what I'd call a personality problem.

I really don't like that polymorph changes someone's mental ability scores. I can't even turn into a bird or mouse or something to spy on people without becoming so stupid that I don't even understand what's going on?

I pointed out the problems with guidance during the playtest. I'm disappointed that it wasn't changed. It really gets old to hear a player say "I cast guidance" a bazillion times each session, prior to almost every single out-of-combat roll that's ever made. I eventually got to the point where I...

This is just awful. On the one hand, they take the action economy to the extreme with the ranger, forcing them to use their own actions to command their pets, but then they let wizards animate dozens upon dozens of undead and up to 24 elementals. I just don't get it. What were they thinking? Do...

I want splatbooks. I want more options. I want more ways to customize characters. I just want quality over quantity.

Maybe I'm in the minority on this, but I don't really see it as much of an issue. A cleric is still limited to preparing a limited number of spells at a time, no matter how many may happen to be on his list. The only way this is really going to be a problem is if a new spell is just plain better...

I agree. I was really hoping that spell-less rangers were at least going to be an option. Instead, they made the class more dependent on spells than it's ever been before.

Does the ranger's pet gain hp or anything at higher levels, or otherwise improve, or is he stuck with the same pet he had at level 1?

The ranger has to use his action to command his pet? Not even a bonus action, his whole action? Wow... that's awful.

Why? There's nothing in the spell that states that what you gate in has to be evil. You could gate in angels, elementals, or anything else that's from another plane.

I don't see why a good warlock couldn't make a pact with an evil being. Fiends love to tempt good people with offers of power, wealth, etc., in the hopes of corrupting them over time. Plus, fiends are often very devious. A warlock might not even be aware at first that his patron is a fiend. I...

I fully approve of this change. There are few things I hated more about older editions than paladins running around spamming their evil radar.

Gate is a 9th level spell, and I don't want to wait until 17th level to play a summoner. Plus it gives you no control over what you summon.

Before I get into this, I just want to say that I love 5e. That said, there is an element of the new edition that I am not at all happy about - the summoning spells. First off, there is a real lack of summoning options in the PHB. Wizards only get two summoning spells, conjure minor elementals...

Thanks to those who have taken the time to answer questions. Would anyone mind telling me what bestow curse does? Is it still touch range?

Do those severe drawbacks happen if you create the 25k value magic items, or only if you try wishing for even greater things?
