    The Oblivion Remaster Is Releasing Today. This Is Not A Drill.

    Yeah, I saw as much on the Skyblivion subreddit. Bit of a shame there, though at least they fixed the player-side leveling which IMO was the more important part of that equation to fix.

    The Oblivion Remaster Is Releasing Today. This Is Not A Drill.

    At least for cities you could do this in the OG Oblivion too, as I recall. Skyrim made it so you had to visit the cities first. (Which wasn't hard, just take a few carriage rides, almost made it a meaningless middle man they introduced.)

    The Oblivion Remaster Is Releasing Today. This Is Not A Drill.

    Well we got the former at least from ESO doing his playthrough: You don't have to do the "efficient leveling" crap anymore. Now you have a set amount of points (called virtues) on each level up that you can simply distribute among three stats each time. Much cleaner system. EDIT: And also ALL...

    The Oblivion Remaster Is Releasing Today. This Is Not A Drill.

    I'm waiting on the details of how they revamped that godawful leveling and level scaling before I make the plunge.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 PHB errata thread

    CME nerf woooooo (It's still too strong though. It needed to be +1d8 every 2 levels above 4th.)

    D&D 5E (2024) Fireball is a C Tier Spell

    It's S tier for around the level 5-6 range when it can bring a whole crowd close to or at death. It's D tier after that when enemy HPs scale too much for it to do either one of those. So yeah I guess it averages out to C tier.

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    Most recently, revisiting FFVII Rebirth with the PC version coming out. It's not without its faults but I love the heck out of it regardless. Mostly due to its combat. And that it represents a good template and direction for future Final Fantasy games after XVI was so disappointing in that regard.

    D&D General 2025 Rakshasa has a great stat block

    And for the Paladin Smite haters, well, with this change Divine Smite works on it as it always did. And for that matter, other Smite spells now do as well (to varyingly useful extents given the timings of the new rakshasa's auto-saves).

    D&D 5E (2024) Treantmonk's Ranger DPS video:

    That does nothing to fix straight Rangers. In fact, all that does is further encourage a multiclass with a full caster.

    D&D 5E (2024) How fun are Champion Fighters now?

    It fulfills the simple fighter niche much more soundly than it did before, I'll give it that much. But if your preference is for martials with even a little more complexity, the new Champion won't offer anything that will convince you to look its way.

    D&D 5E (2024) Ranger 2024 is a bigger joke than Ranger 2014:

    TM's Rogue is also an Assassin and does not have to worry about being slowed down by using Steady Aim at level 9+.

    D&D 5E (2024) Best fix for conjure minor elemental?

    Make the damage once per enemy per turn. Give it a niche of it being more effective when attacking multiple enemies.

    D&D General Eldritch Smite vs Paladin Smite (plus a house rule already)

    Divine Smite is still better guaranteed damage on a crit. It's also, at that level of spell slot, still better guaranteed damage on a normal hit against a fiend or undead (and fiends tend to resist fire, so even moreso them).

    D&D General Eldritch Smite vs Paladin Smite (plus a house rule already)

    I'd just make Eldritch Smite a bonus action like the rest of them. Easier that way and matches the clear design intent for all other smites.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should the Paladin be changed into a more generic half-caster magic knight?

    3e's Paladin was one of the most ineffective classes in D&D history.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Spell Changes

    Devotion and Vengeance will be doing that lot more with regularity.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Background and Origin Feat Article

    The BG3 version is overpowered and boring BS that does not need to be anywhere near this game.
