    Purple Dragon Knight Retooled as Banneret in D&D's Heroes of Faerun Book

    Wouldn't that be better as a feat (chain) then?

    Forums are self selected, so their feedback is not neccicaraly the same feedback from more casual players, which is most of the players. So it could of easily been 50% of form replies where about the lore changes, but only 15% of the survey mentioned it. Also we still haven't seen the higher...

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    My guess. PDK is a background, with some bonus for befriending dragons. Possibly a feat and epic boons along with it. Banneret does not have dragons. Just a support-focused fighter subclass.

    You're thinking generative AI. That's supposed to make stuff. You just need much simpler sentiment analysis. It doesn't generate anything, just counts the sentiments. I.e. 75% of the red comments where about lore changes. You can do it yourself on any modern computer. Here's a link if your...

    AI can read hundreds of thousands of comments and give a summary for very cheap. It is no longer expensive or difficult.

    Social inertia. If you repeatedly hear that Banneret is weak, then you keep thinking that it is weak, until that idea is acted upon by an outside force.

    Purple Dragon Knight Retooled as Banneret in D&D's Heroes of Faerun Book

    The 3e PDK did not slay big creatures. It was Cha based and gave bonuses to allies. Also could cast Fear once per day. SRD - Purple Dragon Knight

    Purple Dragon Knight Retooled as Banneret in D&D's Heroes of Faerun Book

    "Dragon Rider" would be better for Dragon Lance. Forgotten Realms already has their fighter order, with lore. It just needs to be balanced (i.e. improved).

    Still more options than Cha has. It should be a full class, but i don't expect that. New Fighting Style: Assault Leader You gain the Commander's Strike from the Battlemaster subclass. You can use it at-wil. Your die is equal to your Intelligence. New Feat: Ambush Tactics +1 Dex, +1 Int, or...

    Purple Dragon Knight Retooled as Banneret in D&D's Heroes of Faerun Book

    Random thought... But where does it say there is no PDK? All I see is a Banneret. Is it confirmed there's only 1 fighter subclass?

    D&D 5E (2024) Dissonant Whispers vs Command in high level play on a melee character.

    At level 15, I wouldn't consider 3d8 damage to be much of anything. But removing an action is always useful.

    There are already a few different Int based fighter subclasses. Having a single Cha based one is fine. Also, need a good bit more than a heal to be a true warlord.

    You could definitely move Inspiring Surge to 7 (gant 1 attack or cantrip when you action surge). Bulwark to 10 (all allies affected by the same effect can reroll with +Cha bonus). And you got room for more at higher levels. Maybe even Conjure Dragon? Scaling mass healing word.

    D&D 5E (2024) No way to end Rage on your turn with 2024 rules?

    Not quite. "you can extend the Rage for another round..." Doesn't say those action must to extend it. So you could. Turn 1: cast a spell, bonus action rage Turn 2: attack, don't extend rage (can't cast a spell) Turn 3: cast a spell

    D&D 5E (2024) Simplifying Dual Wielding in 5e-2024

    hamd axd and light hammer are both Light weapons. Barbarian can dual wield those just fine. I think this would be fine as a weapon mastery or fighting style. If you want it as a general feat, then I would add a little more. Weapon Property Master, level 4 general feat +1 Dex or +1 Str At the...
