Warlock: 'Pact of the Quantum' includes features such as -being in a different location to where it was last thought you were at. -ability to have taken a different action from the one you took last time. -cannot be killed while until observed by a party member, if you were killed while...

i think i'm less inclined to agree with that, at least on the success side, mostly because social challenges are dealing with a (theoretically in principle) independent entity with their own wants, desires and moods, rather than the typically 'static' components of the challenges usually...

this is what bothers me so much when people try to eliminate using social skills/checks in the game and just determine success/failure through the RP'ing character conversations at the table level.

well i'd say there's two main points to that attitude, the first being wanting VS needing, 'well how much of the awesome i'm doing is actually my character?' AKA 'if you're nothing without the suit then you shouldn't be a hero in the first place', being reliant on a sack of magic trinkets kind...

yeah i'd agree with this, a large component of 'skilled play' meaning trying to take the actions in a situation which will eliminate luck from being a factor in it's resolution.

i think people would cry bloody murder if the 5e fighter was redesigned to have half the innate advantages like 1e fighter did ...let's do it.

i won't deny wild magic is a popular established archetype but putting the random effects subclass as your first showing isn't a better first impression to be showing either, at least in my opinion.

i'd like to just put all the martial classes, the fighter, rogue, monk and barbarian, alongside the ideas of bard and ranger in a blender and mix em all up and break down the exclusivity of their abilities to create a bunch of new classes and a pooled resource of various martial techniques...

i don't really have a horse in this race but it occurs to me, minions weren't just any one type of monster right? you literally had a template which you could apply to any monster to minionise it, could the fact the term 'destroyed' be used be more of a result that not all minions would've...

i realized i didn't actually vote before so...aasimar, dragonborn and human, i would've liked to of said one of my picks was halflings, i love halflings conceptually, but their design is just so...passive, at least with human i get to pick what passives i'm getting.

i will admit, even within the sole confines of 5e's spell slots and levels i think there's surprising room for making different spellcasters feel mechanically different if they just had the guts to make anything that breaks the mould, look at warlock, fundamentally it doesn't really do anything...

what franchise is this meant to be talking about? HP or DnD? if it's the former, see below, if it's the latter, there's no evidence anyone can't really become a wizard if they study enough, seeing as there's no initial INT bar to entry to becoming one (unlike multiclassing into it for some...

i think the issue with gnomes is that they're 'too mundane,' halflings that is actually somewhat their niche, letting you be 'the ordinary one' in a genre where even humans are often stereotyped as bold and ambitious, but gnomes, while slightly magical are still tend to end up in the just...

harry potter wizards, despite having certain families with more potent 'magical bloodlines' otherwise pretty much totally fall into the wizard position IMO, i think in alot of media outside of DnD the types of characters which most fit into the 'sorcerer' archetype don't actually deal with...

basically you believe there should be magic school segregation between the casters, never shall there be a divine soul sorcerer, a trickery cleric of enchantment and illusion, or a druid of spirits and bone.

Similar yes, but not the same, the spark is gifted in a one-time interaction without ongoing terms or connection, it’s the difference between jumpstarting a stranger’s car engine and giving them a vehicle that they have to get refuelled and serviced specifically by you

I liked that post for its latter half about being able to pick primary ability score for your class, it is a shame ENworld doesn’t allow more nuance in its post reactions but I fear any system which did would be overly complicated.

5e

no, they're saying the books says some sorcerers start with literally no latent magical spark at all at birth, but before their first sorcerer level they attain that spark by being gifted or touched by some magical creature or phenomenon.

okay, so what do you actually consider 'meat fat and flavour' in regards to mage archetypes and differentiating them? because when i just tried you said i was only "trying to preserve or make a difference between Wizards, Sorcerers, and Warlocks to justify their existence as classes"
