    D&D 5E (2014) New D&D WotC survey! On classes.

    Oh, I did too, because I wanted to.

    D&D 5E (2014) New D&D WotC survey! On classes.

    You guys do know you could pick the classes you wanted to provide feedback on, right? You didn't have to do them all?
  3. Gladius Legis

    D&D 5E (2014) New D&D WotC survey! On classes.

    I'd add the Assassin Rogue to this list. If you don't beat enemy initiative, you are literally a Rogue with no subclass. And in a typical campaign and a typical party you'll never be able to set up the auto-crit everyone drools over when they first read it.

    I made that exact suggestion for the Eldritch Knight in the survey. And for the Valor Bard as well.

    D&D 5E (2014) New D&D WotC survey! On classes.

    Quick summary of my comments: Berserker Barbarian: Frenzy should have two uses without incurring exhaustion, exhausting starts on the third use, the additional attack should be added to the Attack action so Polearm Master characters still have a reason to be a Berserker. Also base Intimidating...

    I'll be sharpening my knives against the Assassin Rogue, Berserker Barbarian, and all Rangers and Monks for this one.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hex is a WAY better spell than Hunters Mark

    Hex is superior to Hunter's Mark, but not so much so that the Ranger will want to blow something as limited as an ASI/feat to get it.

    D&D General Solasta: Crown of the Magister Offers A Hidden Fifth Edition Computer Gem

    This game does a lot mechanically I wish Baldur's Gate 3 would do. BG3 may be a better overall production (as it'd better be), but Solasta is most definitely a better adaptation of 5e with much stronger combat and exploration mechanics ... ... at least at the moment. Incidentally, BG3's next...

    D&D 5E (2024) YOU are in charge of the next PHB! What do you change?

    Only a couple of bard subclasses can claim "half-a-fighter" at all, and calling the class "half-a-thief" as a whole is a massive stretch. The only rogue-type feature they really get is Expertise. And the one bard subclass that can somewhat claim to be "half-a-thief" is widely considered the...

    D&D 5E (2024) YOU are in charge of the next PHB! What do you change?

    3e still didn't move D&D out of the niche market the way 5e did. 3e was also fundamentally broken in ways 5e isn't.

    D&D 5E (2024) YOU are in charge of the next PHB! What do you change?

    There was a half-caster bard in the playtest, and it was godawful. No to half-caster bards.

    The Real Greatest TV Shows of All Time

    Game of Thrones is half of an all-time great show (Seasons 1-4) and half of an abomination of TV (5-8). The West Wing has aged extremely poorly. I don't believe I could watch it nowadays and keep a straight face. It's just so hopelessly naive about American politics. The Simpsons ... if you...

    Yeah, I like what they did with Favored Enemies.

    D&D General Solasta: Crown of the Magister reaches 1.0!

    If I have one complaint about the classes, it's that Fighters really get the shaft in this game. Since Tactical Adventures didn't have the full D&D license, they couldn't include the Battle Master and Eldritch Knight. And the subclasses they came up with to replace those aren't the best. On top...

    Come, join us in Solasta. Literally none of what you do in Mass Effect matters in the end, anyway.

    D&D General Solasta: Crown of the Magister reaches 1.0!

    Yeah, I meant the combat and mechanics with NWN more than anything. Those are just unbearable nowadays. But yes, all of those expansion campaigns you mentioned are good as far as story, writing, and structure.

    D&D General Solasta: Crown of the Magister reaches 1.0!

    In terms of story, writing, and dialogue, yeah. It's serviceable, but not exactly inspired on that front. Solasta, however, is an utter blast to actually play, which I absolutely cannot say for NWN.
