That was the 1e Bard that required levels in Fighter and Thief. It took forever to become one, assuming one even qualified stat-wise in the first place, but it was pretty effective when it did.

With all the talk about how such and such class sucks in 5e, here is a list of the worst classes in the history of Dungeons & Dragons, considering all editions of the game. You will notice that no classes from 5e are on this list. No matter how much you may dislike a class from 5e, you have to...

Sorcerer is a full caster. For that reason alone, it doesn't and indeed can't suck. Ranger is the only class in 5e that actually does, in fact, suck. And even then, it doesn't suck as much as the worst fare in 3e and 4e did. EDIT: Also a reason why Rangers suck is that they are 100x more...

You could really call my viewing of Game of Thrones from Season 5-8 a hate watch. The sharp decline that show underwent after its first 4 seasons was a train wreck, and I just couldn't look away.

The Emmys are worthless. They confirmed that for good when they gave Most Outstanding Drama last year to the worst season of television ever (Game of Thrones Season 8).

Or if they don't want to delay the progression of their main class but would still like a few things from another class.

Eh, I wouldn't take Fighting Initiate before getting a 20 STR/DEX on either one of those classes. Especially not the Barbarian, for whom GWM and possibly PAM are still higher priority feats, as well. I was disappointed at how undercooked Prodigy and Fey Teleporation were in Xanathar's. I'm just...

It looks fine to me. As you said, 2 sorcery points on a class that doesn't have them already isn't going to do anything near what an actual Sorcerer can do. Twinned Spell, for example, is only going to work on another caster class' 2nd-level spells at best, and only once a day if they use it on...

If a non-human or non-half human Wizard or Fighter finally getting to be as good at Arcana or Athletics, respectively, as a Rogue or Bard is "power creep," then I welcome the power creep.

The prequels were just fine in terms of actual story and lore continuity*. Where those movies failed was in execution. The sequels were just a bad idea. Those movies were conceptual failures. * Except midichlorians, of course.

Rated the Oath of Glory from Mythic Odysseys of Theros. While it's not actively bad, I'm not very impressed with it either, to be honest. It's definitely nerfed overall from the UA Oath of Heroism, which was clearly the prototype.

This is a flawed way of looking at it. Those sites you mentioned in the latter category only allow reviews from people who bought the game from that particular site. It's an incredibly self-selecting sample and not at all an accurate measure of a consensus opinion. And even those sites don't...

I'd at the very least expand the allowed weapons to light, to allow for Sneak Attacks with clubs and handaxes and such. (Also to buff the Assassin specifically, I'd allow that subclass to Sneak Attack with any weapon, period, and give that subclass proficiency with all weapons, making for a...

Most campaigns through the history of D&D barely go past 10th level. And in 5e, many classes' levels 11-20 aren't exactly robust. So I voted no. I'd want classes (especially those that aren't full casters) to get nice things 11-20 before epic levels ever came into consideration.

If it was meant to make me empathize with the lead characters, it did a pretty bad job of that. I never empathized with Joel. He always came across as a sociopath to me, as well as kind of an idiot. And when he killed everybody in the hospital, it didn't make me think any different of him. I...

I haven't played it, but it seems to exist solely to "subvert expectations" for the sake of it. Which is something I've grown sick and tired of. So, I'm not interested in playing it at all. (It doesn't help that I also consider the first game a wildly overrated pastiche of video game tropes...

Ranger has to be the worst, hands-down. Both of its 1st-level features are worthless if the DM doesn't play nice.

Sure, they could, if piracy wasn't a concern. I'm not the biggest fan of anti-piracy measures myself, Steam included. But that doesn't mean it isn't a silly and childish attitude to disavow an entire hobby and an entire modern catalogue of games solely because of that. Well, to me, it comes...

It seems like a silly reason to miss out on so many great games over the last 17 years, but whatever. It's disappointing that I have to relitigate this topic 17 years into Steam's existence. A front-end program for a popular game distribution service is at all equal to obscure anti-virus...

And yet the Steam userbase has trended consistently upward. Looks like they're gaining a lot more customers than they supposedly lost.
