Even though I personally would prefer a trick, knac, or herbalism themed ranger instead of a spell casting one I think one of the biggest problems is in half casters in general. With the exception of the paladin the power of the spells at the level you get them mean that they don't have much of...

That is how I end up refluffing my rangers for the games I am in. To me if you are a ranger then you need something a bit more than just what a fighter or a rogue can give you. If they gave them discipline points and unique manuvers, special equipment that could be used a few times per day or...

So when I say I want a "magicless ranger" what I mean is that I want things that are similar to spells but are actually herbal poltices, potions, traps, alchemical infusions, just outstand skill. This is what I generally do if I am playing a ranger and just refluf the spells into something...

It's mainly coming from playing Diablo and guild of wars 2 recently and feeling like if a fighter was like this then I would play them.

What I would love a mid level fighter to do would be a line effect ground pound with a great maul, or a cone of arrows, give me a small self centered burst attack. Also give me the ability to sacrifice multiple attacks for more powerful attacks. If I could try to cleave someone in two by...

See for me I would rather your unarmored defense to be dex + prof bonus. This way I don't need to focus on wisdom just dex unless I want to.

So after thinking about it I believe that Pendantic is right that Athlete is a better fit than warrior monk. With that in mind continuing my build I would spend lvls 9 and 10 picking up my 5th and 6th level in adept for the second attack and the bonus to athletics. This also changed your...

Ki or Di as it is known now is magic just by another name, but you know that.

The problem is that the abilities you are describing do not match with what everyone else can do at lower levels. So your tier 2(lvl 5-10) is everyone else's lvl 3-6, that is the problem. Your tier 4 monk concept is on par with a tier 3 everyone else.

So if you want the best Ninja I would go Monk 1 Then rogue 1-3 taking shadow assassin from the dungeon delvers guide. Next take monk 2-4 taking warrior monk and at level 7 taking the nightstalker feat then for your 8th level going rogue 4 so you can pick up subtle skill feat. This gives you...

Since 5th Ed came out I have only been in 3 games with paladins but they all cast spells in every session and didn't just smite non stop.

I am still hopeful that they will add maneuvers to the core fighter class.

So they are now in the same boat as everyone but barbarians, fighters and rogues. Also counter spell almost never happens and so they make the caster who decided to cast their silence or counterspell on the paladin and not the druid, cleric, wizard, sorcer, warlock or ranger use the only use...

I think the easiest thing would be that the druid doesn't count as a shapeshifter for the moonbeam spell. If they get pushed, pulled into the spell then yeah they take damage but they should not lose their form if it happens. Usually for me I would not be using the moonbeam spell on someone I...

So to me I already have 3 free uses of HM so I am not going to be wasting a 3rd level spell slot for an extra d6 damage. Cone of cold a 5th lvl spell does 8d8 but hits everyone in the same area, so at the same level that a full caster gets that spell we get one that does an average of 16...

I agree that it does feel like too much without loosing something that the bard already has and while I do mourn the loose of my songs of restoration I am glad to have jack of all trades earlier. Since magical initiate is a background feat it's not so bad.

Even if it was just 1 spell of your choice for 1st -5th level spells like a make your own domain spells list that would make me happy and make me feel like I could creat any type of bard I envision

Speaking of mobility I just noticed that the feat wasn't in the expert or origins playtest package like all of the other feats were.

In my mind I had already mentioned that swift quiver should just be swift strike and work for both melee and ranged attacks like they already did with barrage and villi. I 100% agree with you. I just don't think it should be on the primal list because of how it makes full casters much better at...

So to me and my gaming group "finding" assumes that that person relays the information or in some way acts upon knowing that you are there.
