IF you're going Charisma focused and use Point Buy, you have a +4 bonus by level 4, and can be +5 by level 6 (because fighters get more ASIs). Then at level 15 they get additional uses equal to Second Wind + Action Surge, which is 5 at level 15 and then 6 at level 17. So except for level 3, the...

Gladiator looks pretty powerful. though I suspect it will mostly be for multiclassing with another charisma based class like Paladin, Warlock, Bard or Sorcerer. Already a dip for armor and Constitution save proficiency is very popular for casters. Five times per short rest (Max Charisma) for...

I think this time frame for opening the first survey date (it then goes on for weeks) is standard for UAs for a while now.

I am wondering if, for DNDBeyond existing users who have their character sheet there already, whether Maps will become the way in if you play D&D. I am hoping it's more intuitive and things are more built-in for D&D.

I'd be interested in a review of Maps from DnDBeyond, if anyone has experience with it. I know it's still in Beta but apparently usable already? I guess it will be free to all as of Sept 16. "Starting September 16, in time with the release of Heroes of the Borderlands, all D&D Beyond registered...

Yeah makes for a very deadly critical hit

My understanding (someone please correct me if I am wrong in this) is Power Point rewards are given for a session at a rate determined by the GM. Once the total PP award would put them on part with a starting character of the next PowerLevel, GMs typically treat it as a level-up. Example: if the...

What an interesting thread this is, which I appear to be a mere 17 years late to. Very cool that you are keeping up with this.

I am reading comments from those who bought the PDF and most are positive. Based on what I read, here are some summaries of comments: Sounds like they made changes to the Damage system, which was something people really wanted. Layout is apparently much better from 3e. Added optional levels of...

The build in question was Dueling at level 1, Great Weapon Master at level 4, Polearm Master at level 6, and Mounted Combatant at level 8. You attack with a lance. The dragon becomes medium sized, and rideable by a medium sized PC, at level 7. And it's flying at that level too, though it doesn't...

OK, fair enough. If it were a Pegasus would that seem better?

You're looking at the pet, not the impact the pet had on the fighter. It was very powerful. I guess I will need to pull the build and demonstrate it.

OK but you're playing a highly mobile knight, not the dragon.

It was not feeble. It was a rather powerful class when combined with the right feats and tactics.

I really liked the UA Purple Knight. I wish they had simply responded to the criticism by changing it to a different name and lore. Amethyst Knight or whatever.

That clause was removed in 2024. It definitely no longer says that. Here is all it says now, "Flee. The target spends its turn moving away from you by the fastest available means." It USED to say, back in 2014, "The spell has no effect if ... your command is directly harmful to it." That's been...

This looks intriguing. At some point I need to try out Maps. I keep hearing good things.
