Haha, whereas I started with journey rules and the MM, and have become more and more excited by the new classes (and origin system!!!) each day. I just love the flavour of the new class abilities so much! Horse for courses, eh? :)

Hunter's Target gives a +1 to hit, and if you don't move, trained accuracy gives another +1 to hit, which adds up to the +2 from archery. That's situational, to be sure, but common for backline archers.

I don't think that's true at all. In-game, your character is making tactical decisions about whether to fall back or stand their ground, knowing both have consequences. That's a straightforwardly in-game tactical decision in my book, and far less metagamey than AC or HP. The thing to note is...

Sharpshooter (now Deadeye) is level-locked to 8th+ level, and now only gives +20' to short range, rather than turning long range into short range. So a longbow now has a short range of 170 feet, not 400 feet. A shortbow becomes 100 feet, not 320 feet. The 'called shot' is now -PB/+PBx2 rather...

That may be true, but that ship sailed 2 years ago with this particular product. DungeonCoach just did a detailed homebrew book on kickstarter, if you'd rather that sort of thing.

With some of my players this would be an enormous boon lol! But I agree, it is presumably a bug and meant to mean something else.

Hi @Morrus / other wonderful authors! Is there an updated version of this table, based on all the feedback? In the published T&T pdf the prices are listed in item descriptions, but there's no table like this, so far as I can see.

I mean they literally sold it as the latter. They were pretty clear on that front IMHO. Just because many of us (myself included) bought it as a glorified set of house rules to integrate in a modular fashion into our existing o5e campaigns, doesn't mean that's what they said it's for when they...

Pretty confident you're going to find Counterspell at least is very deliberately different (along with the other 'OP' spells that have been nerfed a bit, eg. fireball, tiny hut and animate objects). I like the concept of Press the Attack/Fall Back a LOT, and for now I'm happy to trust that the...

Hunter's Target alone is +1/+3 (1d6), which is better than the archery or dueling fighting styles in tier 1, and about as good in tier 2 when extra attack kicks in.

I think @kerleth has it right. I had the same question on discord and they said it relates to multiclassed rangers. If that's true I really think that should be made more clear in the text.

Too many things to choose from, but at the moment it's the new, mostly social, abilities for all the not-traditionally-a-party-face classes. And it's not just that they get a buff here or there - it's that these abilities are absolutely dripping with flavour and RP prompts. And they make sense...

Thanks for that feedback! And yes I assumed that where you've done a relative like-for-like subclass (like the new beastmaster or the burglar for thief), you should take the new subclass. It's more for a gloomstalker ranger or a shepherd druid or whatever.

bump

Thanks for the clarification. It did seem weird, as OP suggested!

My main first impression is not so much with individual things (almost all of which I really like), but with questions about its true interoperability with o5e. Because a lot of the cool new things rely on other new mechanics in a5e, they aren’t really as modular as they first appear. So I...

Apparently "It is a spell originally published in the Elemental Evil guide and then in Xanathar's. The spell is not OGL, so we didn't convert it." IMHO it's a shame they did't recreate it in some way, but OTOH there are so many O5E spells outside the OGL they may have simply assumed people...

Oops! My bad. Will edit the post.

I'm reading through the new classes, and there are a few places where I'm unclear on the wording (or if it's even an error), and hoping the class writers can clarify their intent. Two for Sorcerer are: Latent Power (p254) - I'm assuming from reading it that this is a "choose one of the...

It doesn't say who gets to choose the conjured animals, sorry.
