Depends heavily on the situation. Starting with a Fighter dip is preferred if you want to bump Concentration saves but also want heavy armor proficiency (and a free fighting style for +1 AC), and these benefits outweigh the painful delay in spell progression by an entire level. Starting with...

It is fairly normal for any caster dipping into Sorcerer for con save proficiency or into Fighter for con save proficiency + heavy armor proficiency, since it has to be the first level or you don't get the benefit. Otherwise you are right though, there's no reason to care about having your 1...

For most classes, their absolute best features are front-loaded in Level 1 and 2. Subclasses features pale in comparison to most Base Class features in the first two levels. Changing subclasses to Level 3 has almost zero impact on multi-classing. People will still take 1 level Sorcerer dip...

The only listed restriction in the PHB is that the spell has to be on your class spell list. There is no wording about restrictions if the spell level is higher than you can currently cast. However as mentioned above, the PHB section is specifically referring to cantrips and level 1 spells, so...

Really? I don't think I've ever played a character in a campaign without going way way over 120 pounds worth of inventory. Even if you go naked with no weapons, you're capped at 6000 gold as the maximum you can earn. I've only ever played in one campaign that used encumbrance, and it was very...

Rules As Written, Strength is a critical stat for everyone and not overshadowed by Dex at all. In practice is becomes terrible because few tables play with Encumbrance. If you want Strength to matter, just enforce Encumbrance rules

They are training levels in the sense that your character only has a couple things they can do in combat, so for someone who is completely new to learning the rules of DnD, these levels are much easier for learning the base rules of the game You are definitely right though that these levels are...

I don't think Charisma needs much help, it's the premiere skill for an entire pillar of the game. I could also see buffing it since as it stands now you can easily dump Charisma and just let others do all the talky talky stuff - but I don't see anyone regretting having high Charisma since it...

You're in an internet forum for a game that you don't like, posting about how much you dislike it and wish people would stop playing it. Then you want sympathy from people who just want a place to talk about the game they enjoy without every discussion turning into threadcrapping? That's not a...

Skills are described, yes. Are they described "well"? That's entirely subjective but the descriptions are merely one sentence each so I'd say they're described about as well as you possibly could in 10 words or less (which ain't that great)

Nope didn't help, I still can't comprehend why anyone would be against giving Martial classes more options. You can explain it all day long, I'll still agree to disagree with your opinion and be baffled by it.

Which is a problem how? If damage doubles and HP doubles, this impacts nothing. Well ok that's fine you just don't particularly like 5e and prefer previous editions / other games. That's totally fair but has nothing to do with the 2014 book vs 2024 book.

I both play and DM (hopefully moving towards Forever DM though), and I think the new book looks awesome. I can agree with complaints that it isn't enough of a change to warrant spending money on a new book, but to me there's no question that it's definitely a better book if you ignore the...

Interesting interpretation, I think you are wrong but I am not certain. Facts: Page 15 (and Page 361) defines Attack Action (does not include spells). Page 361 defines Attack Roll, which DOES include spells. Conjure Minor Elementals refers to "any attack". Open to interpretation: Does...

I really don't see how customer confusion helps WotC in any way whatsoever. When people want to buy your product, you want them to know what product to go buy, not be helplessly confused about what they're supposed to buy. There is nothing strategically malicious at play here, they're just...

Holy exaggeration much? WotC loves money, and hates not making money. That's the entire list of what they love/hate.

But it IS defined by RAW that the Magic Action takes more than one turn if you use the Magic Action to cast a spell with a cast time of 1 minute or longer. It literally says so right there on Page 371. Everyone who is confused is just stuck in the assumption that "Action" means 6 seconds, and...

Pact of the Chain and Divine Intervention both say that you take a Magic Action to cast a spell. Ok so now what the hell is a Magic Action, turn to page 371. Magic Action specifically says that if you cast a spell with a cast time longer than 1 minute, you have to continue taking the Magic...

How do you figure that you automatically complete a Magic Action in 1 turn? Neither Pact of the Chain nor Divine Intervention state this. They only say that you take the Magic Action. Now go read Magic Action: the definition of Magic Action specifically says that if you cast a spell with a...
