    D&D 5E (2014) Getting rid of the short rest: The answer to Linear Fighter vs Quadratic Wizard?

    I don't like short rests, except perhaps for regaining hit points. I thought during the playtest that it was the short 5 minutes part of the rest that bugged me, but now I know that it is having some party members short rest dependent and some long rest dependent. Right now I just have...

    D&D 5E (2014) A single +1 armor for a level 10 party

    I started coveting Rings of Protection in earlier editions when I played Fighters for the save bonus. I think the DM always assumed that the someone like the wizard would get it, but it beats +1 armor any day. Much better to have regular armor of choicwe and a +1 ring than magic armor of some...

    D&D 5E (2014) A single +1 armor for a level 10 party

    Not to mention that the ring also gives +1 to all saves, something a Fighter is not going to get from good armor.

    D&D 5E (2014) Make Up a Goblin Fact

    All Goblins know that if they get stuck outside during the daytime, they can navigate by following the sun, because the sun is always in the North. Goblins also know that it is better to wait and travel by night, because long ago a powerful coven of evil witches cursed the Goblins so that they...

    Fighter Subclass: The Bravura! (INT-based, tactical, non-magical)

    Good when the Bravura only uses their normal reaction to do it, rather than trade in an attack. I am not sure how many extra attacks the Bravura would need to make the trade of an attack worthwhile to gain Advantage. But that's definitely really good when there is nothing else to use the regular...

    Fighter Subclass: The Bravura! (INT-based, tactical, non-magical)

    I like the temp hit points as extention of plan thing. What about temp hit points being added at 10th level, in addition to So Crazy It Might Work's normal skill advantage on one check. So it's all part of the plan. Maybe won't be seen when talking to the king, but handy if trying to traverse a...

    Fighter Subclass: The Bravura! (INT-based, tactical, non-magical)

    I am okay with missile swatting. I do think a Take One For The Team contingency would be great for melee or missile attacks against allies. The Bavura would need to be adjacent to the attacker, the target, or in the flight path of the missile; They throw themselves in the path of the weapon and...

    Fighter Subclass: The Bravura! (INT-based, tactical, non-magical)

    I wasn't sure about the whole reaction based fighter paying on credit thing to start with, but I have come around. I like the trade in of an attack, and the requirement to take the Attack Action the next turn. More contingencies would be nice, since many of them are situational and may not...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which classes would you like to see added to D&D 5e, if any? (check all that apply)

    I'd like an Alchemist and Artificer, which could probably be subclasses of the same class. I voted for Witch, simply because I like the idea. I voted for Warlord. The name does suck. "Tactician" would cover more concepts, I think. For "Other", I want a Shapeshifter class. And I can get...
