    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal: "New Wizard"

    Not going to lie, the new illusionist is making me feel like you could get up to some real Looney Toons shenanigans... Create the illusion of a door in a wall. Walk through the door and close it behind you. Pursuers try to burst through the door and slam face first into the wall instead.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal: "New Wizard"

    Already on subclasses. Yep, this one's going to be short, unless they start really going in depth on spell changes.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal: "New Wizard"

    I think a broader array of more general, non-specialized wizard subclasses would be helpful, but honestly, I do like having the classic specialist subclasses as well.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal: Shape of "New Druid"

    Similar and definitely more in-theme for Athas, but chocobos are pretty clearly birds rather than dinosaurs - they have proper wings, even if they're (usually) flightless.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal: Shape of "New Druid"

    Final Fantasy steals from D&D, D&D steals from Final Fantasy - the circle of life continues. Goes back to polishing his gunblade in preparation for Dawntrail.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Warlock"

    Then let me rephrase: The defining aspect of the cleric is their faith - they believe in their deity's religion's teachings and through their faith they are granted power to help advance their deity's religion's cause in the world.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Warlock"

    Obviously, your milage may vary, but my views on it go like this: The defining aspect of the cleric is their faith - they believe in their deity's religion's teachings and through their faith they are granted power to help advance their deity's religion's cause in the world. A celestial...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Warlock"

    Supposedly should be coming out later this week - WotC's community manager said as much over on Reddit, I believe.

    D&D 5E (2014) What comes after the 2025 Monster Manual?

    I would love an Iggwilv's Demonomicon to give a deep dive on demons and the Abyss. Maybe an Elminster's Guide to the Nine Hells to parallel it? They could justify it by saying that Nergal kidnapped him again... I do realize I've just essentially reinvented 3.5e's Fiendish Codices, but hey, I...

    D&D 5E (2024) Which Setting Featured Already in 5E Do You Want a New Supplement For?

    "Half-giants" (which would now implicitly be rolled into goliaths) are more of a Sarlona thing than Xen'drik, but I'd be all for either one, to be honest.

    D&D 5E (2024) Which Setting Featured Already in 5E Do You Want a New Supplement For?

    Never been much of a Forgotten Realms fan, but I imagine that it would be a pretty good time for a proper FR setting guide. Particularly one that goes beyond the Sword Coast, since one of the only things we've been told is on the docket for next year is a Red Wizards of Thay adventure. I would...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Warlock"

    Based on what the Playtest UA7 has to say on Ritual Casting, I'm not sure how necessary the Ritual Caster feat is anymore, especially for actual caster classes. The baseline rules for Ritual Casting now say you can cast any ritual spell you have prepared at any time without burning a spell slot...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Warlock"

    Always assumed the "Hexblade" referred to the warlock's sentient weapon, myself, since that's essentially supposed to be the patron (or the vehicle through which the patron operates). At least within the context of 5e.

    D&D 5E (2014) What comes after the 2025 Monster Manual?

    They've mentioned an adventure module involving the Red Wizards of Thay for 2025, and something involving Venger somewhere down the line. Beyond that, I don't think we know anything. They'll probably announce 2025's line up later this year.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Warlock"

    I think it's technically "The Hexblade" - people just tend to drop the "The" out of expediency. But yeah, most likely would need a new name if it's no longer explicitly linked to a weapon.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Warlock"

    More or less the idea. Let the new blade pact carry the weapon-focused aspects and redesign the "Hexblade" into a Shadowfell patron viable for any kind of warlock build.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Warlock"

    Teleportation was definitely built up as the eladrin's schtick in 4e, and I think that may have bled over into fey in general ever since. Rather than "teleportation", per se, I think the idea is intended more as briefly stepping out of the Material Plane and into the Feywild, then back again...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Warlock"

    I've had a concept floating around my head for an "amnesiac" Reborn Hexblade Warlock whose story begins by being found hanging by the neck from a tree with a broken off spearhead embedded in their ribcage. The spearhead claims to be all that remains of Gungnir (the spear of the Norse god Odin)...
