Class-wise, I'd like to see a Psionicist for Dark Sun. But I don't think any new classes are needed if they're not revisiting Dark Sun -- and they've said they're not in the foreseeable future. Beyond that, I'm not sure what adventurer archetypes are missing. Usually, when I see people saying...

I hope to see spells at spell level 7 and higher wholly overhauled and remade from the ground up. I think that's essential to making the game playable at high level. I hope to see mechanics that encourage the PCs to go on adventures they want to go on to accomplish goals they want, instead of...

There's actually a really good article showing the derivation for the expected value of exploding dice. The short answer is that the average value of an exploding die is the average value of the normal die multiplied by N/(N-1), where N is the number of sides. So: d4! = 2.5 * ⁴⁄₃ = ~3.33 (3...

Wasn't that true already? Divine Soul and Clockwork Soul are both fairly popular since being released from what I've seen. Surely that has to do with having vastly improved spell lists. The old Sorcerer had an even worse time with it's spell list, being a subset of the Wizard list and being...

I would just like to be able to search one book at a time instead of always searching all 60+ books that have been released. I just want to do a plain text search the one or two books I actually care about.

11. Their d20s are too small.

Yeah, but they do know about the complete debacle that was the Magic 30th Anniversary set. We've all but got confirmation that it didn't sell out; they just stopped selling it. And they should know that Bank of America double-downgraded Hasbro to "underperform" after an in-depth analysis...

An unsual number of Magic players in multiple threads on the Magic subreddit and on Magic Twitter took WotC's side roughly a day after the Pinkerton incident broke. They kept repeating everything that WotC did was entirely justified and without any moral or ethical concerns, and that Cannon was...

Now you sound like a Magic player.

In that case, then I apologize for my misunderstanding. You started off with, "There is a lot of banter in the forums about Short Rests, Long Rests, and the rate of resource recovery in 5E D&D," and that's entirely the direction it looks like you were heading.

I don't entirely understand the question, but not in the way you think I don't understand it. These optional rules are designed to alter the play style and change the entire campaign's tone. Now, of course, these rules are too simple to fully effect the change they're claiming they make...

Yeah, I don't know if I'm on board with a Topple player triggering 2, 3, or more saving throws every round. It's more like three spells, too, because you could make one target save multiple times. It's a lot. Knocked prone has also historically been... a very frustrating condition. It's...

I dunno, I kind of like how the two interact with Barbarian's Reckless Attack. Graze ain't so good, Cleave works real well. On the flip side, if you're fighting in deep fog, well, that graze ability is looking pretty good.

I do think it slows down combat, but at the same time I don't think you can give martial classes more meaningful things to do in combat without slowing down combat. However, I think Cleave, Flex, Graze, Nick, Push, and Slow are all great. I like all of those, and I don't think they slow down...

I have a hard time remembering the last time an encounter began at a distance further than 100 feet. I think it was literally when either us or the NPCs were in a fortification of some kind (observation tower, palisade, etc.). Long ranges have mostly been about taking down fleeing opponents in...

Now to finally finish my response to the OP. :D I agree this is annoying -- it certainly was with hex and hunter's mark -- but I also don't really think it's anything more than annoying. They could print the spells twice in the book, once with the class and once in the spell list. That would...

"I can break the game with Wish," doesn't seem like a reasonable complaint about the power level of Modify Spell or Craft Spell. In this example, Wish is broken. Which we knew already. It's intentionally busted.

Yeah, Sorcerers can do it from level 2. But they can only do a subset of whats available. You only get three metamagic options at level 2. If you pick Subtle and Careful and Transmuted, well, you don't get Distant or Heightened. You do get most everything the Wizard can do with Modify, but not...

It does steal some from the Sorcerer, but Sorcerer just stole the biggest thing that made 5e Wizard better than the 5e Sorcerer: The two One D&D classes share the same spell list. Additionally, Sorcerer gets the same number of spells prepared. Yes, Wizard does still get a bit more flexibility...

For quite awhile, I've had the opinion that losing concentration when being damaged is a mechanic that should apply to NPCS, not PCs. The other effects are fairly narrow. My biggest issue is then (a) that only Wizards can eliminate damage ending concentration when I would rather it be a divine...
