I think your right but I don't think it's the best use of your off-hand either. A shield (assuming you're proficient) offers a steady +2 to ac where a parrying weapon is only 1 turn and you can't sacrifice it to stop a critical hit. Related but not because of your comment specifically, is there...

There are many online. Here's a couple resources: https://www.optionalrule.com/2021/01/29/safety-consent-rpg-checklist/ https://slyflourish.com/safety_tools.html

Just confirming I'm not missing something in the math of strongholds for the Archives of Elucidation example (pg 368 AG). As I read it, it's base cost should be 5,000 gp x 2 (income) x 50 (pocket dimension) x 5 (legendary) = 2,500,000. Did the 2x from income get missed or is there a divisor I'm...

I like that, I'm going to try the squad rules as printed but did have the concern with swingy hits at lower levels. That may be balanced by the increased cr and assumptions about player level will be higher as well. That's a nice house rule that could be fun though. It still allows for "half...

Are you looking for the squad template on pg 466 of MM?

That's fair though the point stands with at least bard from that list as well ;)

I'm not saying it isn't part of the class nor is it above scrutiny. I'm saying in terms of the things that make a class well designed, fun to play, and balanced, it is absolutely the last thing on the list for priority. For example, the O5E wizard has one of the most lackluster capstones in the...

That's makes a ton of sense. Thanks for the teaser! I'm very happy to see 3pp progress so far along!

Probably but I also don't think it's fair to judge a class design on it's capstone. 99.9% of the people who use the class will never touch level 20. Again a fair criticism for what you want but I'm not sure if it's a bad design for the mechanics. If you don't want an alchemical artificer you...

Yeah I mean not to be snarky and not knowing the full gambit of play testing that took place, it's very possible the feedback they got from the backer sneak peek was positive and more time there would have been superfluous. I'd be hesitant to argue the process is bad just because any single...

I guess I feel the opposite. I really like the new artificer. I don't know if the play test we received was the only one but it felt more like a final pass than a play test so I'd assume they did a smaller one that didn't involve the backers.

Awesome, so no Kickstarter or did I miss that above somewhere?

That's very exciting. Where should we watch to be notified that it's available? Are you folks self-publishing through dtrpg?

Added this above As an additional piece I think there's a number of viable ways to build this out and the one I exemplified in the table in the op is probably fine if you're looking to utilize Untamed but not focus on it. Here's some quick thoughts about the possible combinations without...

Totally agree. This is mostly why I didn't try to get a comprehensive list of the maneuvers options. Really I'm trying to start with the basics here and get some pros and cons to the class level balance first. I think I'm leaning mostly toward a more even spread between the classes being the...

I don't know if I'd agree that there aren't things that match up nicely but there's no question that this build requires a bit more thought. It's like when a new hero come out in a moba or a balance patch comes to a digital card game. It takes some players (myself) time to see how the pieces...

Hi all, I'm doing some theory crafting for a 1-20 build of a druid/berserker multiclass using the Untamed synergy feat tree. Given the conversation on this thread, Level Up (A5E) - "Untamed" synergy feats, my thoughts on speeding into the second and third feat have changed and I think those...

This is incredibly thorough and helpful. Thank you! This is perfect and the way I was kind of thinking it would go for those. Good to know to avoid the new ones completely. Also good to know. That's all pretty easy to separate out just the text if PDFs for this kind of thing. My assumption...

I was just looking at this thread this morning to see if I can plan to have these in hand for session zero or if I'd be pointing towards the play test doc. Yay! Thanks for the good news!!

Agree whole heartedly. I didn't know about Sly Flourish's books when I started dming (4 years ago?) but when I gtot them, they made my approach significantly more focused and prepping 10x more enjoyable.
