For me the sweet spot is 1/2 caster. Right now there are no half-caster arcane classes. Right out of the box the closest thing we have is the Oath of Vengeance Paladin, which is a half-caster with a bunch of useful arcane spells added to its list that provide movement, buffs and debuffs and...

Are you using the half-elf's normal stats? What do you need help on exactly? Backstory? Feats? Class Features?

Have you considered druid as multiclass instead? Given the spells you are listing as of interesting from the warlock (arch-fey), a land druid might work. Fist of the forest!

I think the hexblade could just be handled with an invocation: requirement (pact of blade): you gain proficiency with medium armor and shields. Would require a 3 level dip at least so it is not easily exploitable by multiclass. Of course errata to give this to the pact of blade upon taking...

The system is changing for PoE2 anyway...introducing multiclassing and subclasses at the very least. Could be interesting.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2016/02/22/critical_role_is_flat_out_great_tv_even_if_you_don_t_care_about_dungeons.html That is some major mainstream attention for both d&d and for the Critical Role show on the Geek and Sundry Twitch!

Is it too much to ask that the pyschic warrior subclass gets a second attack? Like maybe at level 6 with the war bard or level 5 through a discipline choice like the warlock? Also the level 10 feature is bizarre.....it costs 50 hp to get 5 points if you are level 10 but it costs 100 hp if you...

Yes but there are levels of fidelity to the rules. I think a lot of people were expecting a Neverwinter Nights or Baldur's Gate-level of fidelity....adapted for real-time but with spell slots and feats and domains and opportunity attacks and per rest abilities and skills and so forth intact...

You can also do this pretty well with a valor bard.

Well, yes but you never really had an incentive to get up close and personal and risk a sword to the face..it is just that if you got stuck in such a scenario (ranged is not always feasible given the terrain/circumstances) you could still effectively fight back. This adds an extra component to...

You have to factor in the possibility of a miss. A second attack gives you another opportunity to apply sneak attack damage if you miss with your first attack. So you give up a slightly higher maximum sneak attack for a higher probability of applying a sneak attack at all. The more accurate you...

I am thinking the cleric domain will be a non-evil Death...stripped of undeath spells. You really need that sort of domain in FR given the neutral death god commonly served by players.

Eldritch knight is not a trap but it is mostly fighter with a dash of wizard (limits spells known, limited schools of magic, slow progression of spell levels). Blade-pact warlock is sort of the opposite...mostly mage with a dash of fighter. THey haven't really produced a good 50-50 split warrior...

Yeah, this thing is MUCH less faithful to the ruleset than Baldur's Gate and NWN I &II were. We are not talking changes to make a turn-based PNP game work for a real time video game...those changes would be understandable. We are talking skill trees like old WoW. Wizards buy spells with skill...

I love Caine, the 13 bloodlines, the antediluvians, and all that and simultaneously hate the emphasis on generation ( constantly diluted blood, thin-bloods, caitiff, etc.) and hunting down sleeping elders to drink dry to artificially bump generation. Would like to see blood potency from Requiem...

This is also useful because it gives me some idea what the developers are thinking regarding: (1) a civilization/cities domain and (2) how to handle ranged pact-weapons (apparently worth an invocation with no level requirement). And I am sure some of the spells could be adapted for a fantasy...

They also added support for widescreen/modern day screen resolutions and a zoom in/zoom out feature. The BGII rules means you can use kits and classes like the monk are available. But it really doesn't change the game in fundamental ways (e.g. wow I wish they could have updated the...

Order of the Awakened has basically nothing to do in combat at the moment except throw out mind thrusts and doesn't have too much to do outside combat either given the limited number of skills. You can be a much better psion as a great old one warlock with the right invocations and spells.

I expect the binder to show up as a "vestige pact" option for the warlock...that is how they handled it in 4e and I believe Mearls mentioned that this is likely what they would do in 5e if they brought it over.

I just want a single document that explains a. what the sundering is/was, and b. what changes occurred in the pantheon, in the geography of the realms, in the ecology of the realms, etc. Right now there are bits and pieces scattered across novels and interviews and the core books. The...
