In addition to. I just leveled my Devotion Paladin to 3 and it indeed does get Sacred Weapon and Turn at that level.

Huh, I noticed Solasta is doing the same thing with Cutting Words that BG3 did (bonus action, BI die penalty to ALL rolls for the enemy that turn). I guess the amount of popups that feature could trigger was a bridge too far even for Tactical Adventures to implement RAW.

There's a name for that.

As for the Hunter's Multiattack, this new one obviously sucks, but it's not like the old one was great, either. They really just need to make it a meaningful expansion of the Attack Action, so that Multiattacking doesn't cancel out things that specifically only work with Attack Actions. Like...

Two words: Passive Perception. None of which Natural Explorer really addressed. Otherwise, all its abilities do is prevent you from getting lost and making sure you have enough food and travel at standard pace, which in execution leads you to skipping exploration entirely. 3 of the 5 Primal...

Any character can stay alert to danger if their Perception is good enough. And while getting lost isn't the only hazard, it is about the only one that dumps you in the exploration pillar for any length of gameplay time. So, yeah, skipping. So, spells.

Natural Explorer, you mean that ability that, if it came into play at all, dealt with the exploration pillar by ... skipping it entirely? Primeval Awareness, you mean that ability that was literally less precise in your favored terrains than out of it? And that you only ever used at all when...

Since 3e, actually. He even had a level in Barbarian in 3e, which was pants-on-head stupid.

Wait, what interesting exploration abilities did the 5e Ranger have to lose in the first place?

I find myself not caring for either one.

Hand crossbow + Crossbow Expert + Sharpshooter.

The survey has So. Many. Typos. Which leads me to believe that this playtest process is nothing more than a pointless dog and pony show and WOTC is not taking it remotely seriously.

When something in BCS (and BB for that matter) is predictable, it's because of all the logic that went into setting it up. Predictable is not a flaw. Subverting expectations for the sake of subversion is, and thankfully BCS didn't do that. The biggest moments in BCS' later seasons had little to...

I couldn't disagree more. Every scene in BCS was necessary for all of its intricate character development and plotting, and it's why all of those moments of payoff hit the way they did.

Huh? Better Call Saul ended brilliantly.

It didn't keep me away from it. Dumb and Dumber aren't involved in this one, so that was reason to give this a chance. That said, I found this premiere a little too eager to shove all its parent show's greatest hits of gratuitous sex and gore into it, not all of which was necessary to move the...

People actually play this game without feats? In the year 2022? Anyway, I hope these changes indicate that feats are going to be selected more often as you level up.

I'd love to be excited about this, since Jedi: Fallen Order was awesome, but this is still EA we're talking about here. Even if the first game in an EA series turns out great and generally free of EA's typical BS, the sequel is where said BS takes over and ruins it.

Talking about Baldur's Gate 3? Yeah, they changed the height bonus/penalty to +2/-2 a couple patches ago. It used to be full A/D. The change was definitely a step in the right direction.

It's a feature of an inherently flawed concept. Politicians being portrayed optimistically ruins my suspension of disbelief, especially when it's a show that clearly portrays a strong sense of verisimilitude otherwise. And the dialogue, well, it's Aaron Sorkin. And all the preachy and didactic...
