paladin's oath maybe somewhat to a lesser degree given their powers are supposedly directly derived from their conviction, it;s still something i think is possible to handwave as a negligible lapse in the grander scale, but the others i don't think so not really. you're again assuming that the...

and? i don't have to have a supernatural ball and chain tied to my character if i pick any of the other classes so why should i be made to have one if i want to play a warlock?

see, i'd say you're making assumptions about what form a 'pact' needs take, that there are always concrete terms stipulated and agreed to, the initial pact needn't be an obvious transaction, a warlock-to-be could perform an ritual for power that's light on the specific results, carrying around...

i certainly agree with this principle (though our preferred executions may or may not differ), but more martial movement doesn't need to be at odds with better ranged STR options.

if i had my way with the armour system here's a post i've made before on what i'd do with it

what i wouldn't give for a few lines of text that say something to the effect of: with these changes your best STR options are probably javelin for range and trident for damage, let's compare them to what look like their closest ranged DEX-equivalents. WeaponDamageRangePropertiesMastery...

tangential thought, i think it's way past time DnD got past the rut that all heavy armour gets stealth disadvantage, heavy armour isn't so significantly better than medium just cause the highest AC you can get is better by 1 that all it's options needs that millstone, despite the natural...

if you don't want a healer to be an essential role in the party maybe stop resorting to lethal combat as your solution to all your interpersonal conflicts ;)

by being too close to be an objective evaluator.

you may have misinterpreted my meaning, i agree with what you say here, that being merely nice doesn't make you Good, but i think alot of people want to think that it does because they want to think of their characters as 'heroes' and heroes are 'good people' so they look for reasons to justify...

The Wizzard Class: can only know a single spell, it is 9th level and learned at 1st level but they cannot cast it until appropriately levelled. (gains special improvised weapon proficiency: half-brick in a sock)

an idea i'd like to see explored is versatile mix-and-match class design, like if subclasses were more of a 60/40 split than a 75/25 and you could put them on any class, some of the more specific class building blocks only exist as top halves(like bladesinger), plus we have some of those 4e...

true but a shame, who knew that designing something with a mechanical role as your principle design goal rather than a vague thematic concept made for a better designed game widget?

i have to disagree, swordmage isn't the 'i want to do it all' class but rather the melee spells spellcaster/my weapon attacks inflict magical status/deal elemental damage, IMO at least, nobody can agree on what swordmage is/does if anything this is the 'i wanna do it all' one isn't actually a...

it was this part that i had interpreted as implementing 'exclusivity of spell schools (and similar such classifications)', i'm not sure what caused me at the time to read this in such a these are the classes allowed to cast these types of spells and no cross-contamination but it is what it is.

i fully admit i may have misconstrued your suggestions at the time, my lack of response was less due to wanting to let the assumptions stand and more just a preference to walk away and cool off from arguments when heated combined with the fact that so many topics are active on enworld that i...

i have no issue with making the cleric more of a 'white mage', i don't know why you would think it would? unless that was merely a ping to the wrong person or if you are referring to my response to your proposition of 'mechanically distinguishing the classes' mentioned in the wiz/sorc/lock...

PLAYER: i'd like my cleric to subtly begin consecrating the water from a distance.

i just remembered this scene exists (i can't seem to post the short to show directly in the post it just links 😞) https://youtube.com/shorts/4TAPR3WCXyU?si=9MmIbrqHgY3nboOS
