If That Document Which Shall Not Be Named is any guide, then one of the oaths favors freedom (so Chaotic Good would surely fit), and another favors defeating evil at any cost (so Lawful Neutral would fit - the holy warrior unwilling to place her own purity above getting the job done). That's...

I'm anticipating (hoping for!) a campaign reboot once 5e launches, & am enamored of the 5e warlock. OMGSOGOOD! I'm currently looking at filling a primarily battlefield control role. Here're my thoughts (& many questions) so far: Flavor/Basic Character Concept The character was a student at an...

Feylock or goolock - I can't decide which (& torn between tome - w/ the rituals invocation to get a familiar anyway, along w/ other ritualy goodness - or chain, which then leaves me pondering if the ritual invoc is still worth it or not).

Actually, it's entirely consistent within its own non-Euclidean framework.

I'm afraid to hope. Everything else seems very close to the alpha version, & the die shown for Bardic Inspiration are the same as well. Perhaps they upgraded it to party-wide, or <Cha-mod plus Proficiency>/day, but I'm not counting on it. *sigh* A bard that can't sing (oh, Song of Rest, sorry -...

So feylock, fiendlock, &... GOOlock? o_0 Not sure how I can comment on that in a grandma-friendly manner....

Yes, the warlock should more properly list 'Patrons - Archfey, Fiend, Great Old One'. While the terms 'chainlock', 'tomelock', & um... ('swordlock'? 'weaplock'? whatever we use for the weapon one)... may better describe the more visible presentation of the character, the greater influence on...

It's just a familiar, with a few stronger familiars available (pseudodragon, pixie, imp, quasit).

Yeah, even just comparing it to 3.5 bard this is a huge nerf. 3.5: +1 to every attack roll made by every single party member in range, +1 to every weapon damage roll, & +1 to every save vs. fear or charm effects vs. 5e: +d6 to one single roll of any type made by one single party member w/in 1...

From what I've seen of the alpha PHB (w/ all appropriate caveats about that), it looks like Bardic Inspiration is the mangled, bleeding wreckage of what's left after the collision of the playtest bard & a nerfbat-wielding Godzilla. Grant one 'inspiration die' to a single ally w/ a bonus action...

Looking through the alpha spell list, I'm really interested trying to optimize spell choices (Note: I'm also fine with flavor - probably going to take Anueresis or whatever that 'scribe' cantrip is through Pact of the Tome, and get the rituals invocation too - just enjoy the challenge of...

I would interpret it exactly thus. Apparently your cleric spent a lot of time eavesdropping on the other priests. :p

I've been perusing it, & there are definitely some things I hope they've changed (all IMO, duh): Bardic Inspiration. Inspire 1 ally per round as a bonus action? ONE? And you can only do this <Cha mod> times before a LONG rest? (Oh, wait - you can get ONE of those back in a short rest after 5th...

My ongoing Organized Play experience of the (playtest - so could be different to an unknown degree) 5e bard (8th & a bit of 9th levels) has been a bit mixed so far. In the first combat, I did 16d6 damage before I ever hit anything. Just by singing. Of course, we had 10 players, so the additive...

And there's my next 5e character. XP for you both!

This was referring to the use of the spell in a 3.5 group. I should've clarified that I was using a non-5e example to illustrate reactions to general cross-edition 'reasons to fear the dark'.

Right, but the quoted tweet mentions handing out SKILL proficiencies. This seems to indicate there was an attempt to use SKILL proficiencies to counterbalance the save proficiencies. That's not apparent from the simple distribution of key stats on the proficiencies, but may become clear once we...

Again, I'm not disagreeing with that interpretation. I quite agree with that interpretation, in fact. However, I know DMs who will interpret the relevent text differently.

Also nothing in there about getting to apply it to whichever attack hits after you determine the success of all of your attacks for the round. I know which way my DMs will interpret this. YMMV.

So some people have DMs who would allow them to declare the SA after seeing if the attack actually hits? Wow. Must be nice. *sigh*
