    D&D 5E (2024) So, has anyone actually PLAYED the Expert classes?

    No, but I have had feedback from friends that have played with them. I have not had a full report from them on everything yet but talked to the player that played one of the 2 bards in the party. The player normally likes bards and support characters but said it was terrible and would never play...

    D&D 5E (2024) Does anyone else think that 1D&D will create a significant divide in the community?

    To answer my own questions currently I am thinking that I would stick with 5e rather than change to the proposed changes but would take a few things and use them in my games. One of the DMs I play with says that so far they think they will stick with 5e,they don't understand what WotC is thinking?

    D&D 5E (2024) Does anyone else think that 1D&D will create a significant divide in the community?

    I'm not saying it will but that it could. Part of me thinks that the changes we are seeing will be scaled back due to negative feedback and not be as many big proposed changes that we have seen so far in the playtest material. But if the level of changes (or something close) that we are seeing...

    D&D 5E (2024) What's your opinion on the standardization of Spellcasters?

    I hate the standardisation of spell lists. I really like Warlocks and part of that is their unique spells. Hex and Armor of Agathys and such. Yes there are some subclasses that get some of them, and ways to get some of them with feats, but they remain rare outside of Warlocks. Now Bards can hex...

    D&D 5E (2024) The new playtest Exhaustion rules has already fixed the exploration pillar a lot.

    I have some questions for people, especially the fans of the old/current rules... How often have you seen PCs with more than 1 or 2 level of Exhaustion? What is the most Exhaustion you have seen on PCs? And how did the party react to when a party member(s) ended up with a higher amount of...

    D&D 5E (2024) The new playtest Exhaustion rules has already fixed the exploration pillar a lot.

    I prefer the new rules over the old/current rules. I think no matter what the final rules end up I will use a houserule adding a few of the Old to the new. At Exhausted 5 or 6 I will add Half Speed; at 7 or 8 I'd add Half Max HP; and at 9 add Speed becames 0. But ever without my changes I think...

    D&D 5E (2024) The more I think about it, the least I like class groups.

    I don't want this approach. If the first concern with class design is Class Group before it's own identity it will lead to bad class design. In the UA a Paladin is assigned the priests group and that group is defined as "Stewards of Divine or Primal magic, focusing on healing, utility, and...

    D&D 5E (2024) Fighting Styles Are Not Worth a Whole Feat

    I agree that are not worth a feat. It is an odd choice to make them feats when they are still using them as class features. The Ranger still gets one at 2nd level. I guess it cuts down on word count when you only print them once in the Feat section and just list which ones each class can take...

    D&D 5E (2024) 48 subclasses in the 2024 PHB: What are they?

    I don't think this is likely at all. The reason being is that the Expert Group is define as "Polymaths who have the Expertise feature and elements of other Classes" JC talked about how the Experts, being Polymaths, take abilities from other groups/classes. If one of the defining characteristics...

    D&D 5E (2024) 48 subclasses in the 2024 PHB: What are they?

    I suspect they will be standardising Subclasses across Class Groups rather than across the board. The Expert Group all have their subclasses start at 3rd like they do now. If they standardise per Group I suspect Warrior Subclasses will start at 3rd and progress like Expert, but the other groups...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Survivor - Subclasses (Part VI: Fighters)

    No, it is not objectively the best. (My subjective opinion is that) Echo and Rune Knight are mechanical better and several others are more fun to play. I consider the Battlemaster to be one of the more boring subclasses. You can have whatever subjective opinion you like, but don't mistake it for...
