This is probably not what you want, but I like feats that express some flavor about the character who has them, as opposed to a plain mechanical benefit. Also, I think there are only a few skills where expertise is really useful. So I made up these: Canny Grappler (replaces Grappler)...

We rolled 3d6, in order, and then lied about what we got. :)

Just to say, I use the XGtE rule, but added a benefit to the armor fighting style to let you ignore it.

Links or it didn’t happen ;)

As for subclasses: open hand and kensei are solid. Avoid five elements, and shadow isn’t so much a combat build. I think long desth is decent, but I’m less familiar.

In fact JC says you can: https://www.sageadvice.eu/2018/01/20/can-a-monk-move-between-the-hits-of-flurry-of-blows/

FWIW, my take on versatility is this: Fighting Style: Brawling: If you have a free hand while you take the Attack action on your turn and attack using a melee weapon or your unarmed strike, then you can attempt to grapple or shove an opponent as a bonus action. Feat: Versatile Fighter -...

All the same, I think you can try to objectively assess how different mechanics compare. IMO gnomes are just fine balancewise, but standard humans are a bit weak. I'd say standard tieflings are weaker, and I have no problem with all the variant tiefling versions that have been published. The...

Oops thought this would be a thread about defeating Zuggtmoy :) But on the topic, I’ve always wanted to try a bard based grappler as a luchador.

I also think this is a fine adjustment. Another alternative is to use the variant human stats but say the feat has to be the Prodigy feat from XGTE. That is pretty reasonable too.

Sounds like a good premise for a play-by-post experiment :)

Cool maneuver's I'd like to see: - Leaping attack (jump over a monster and hit it from above) - Whirlwind attack (attack all monsters w/in 5 feet, dealing some amount of damage) - Ranged reaction attack (not sure how to trigger though) - Ijatsu strike (draw your weapon and attack) - Crippling...

I think people are reading more into the Sage Advice tweets than warranted. All I see is an answer from Mike Mearls: So first that is Mearls not Crawford, and second it is not directly about attacks. The plain text of tremorsense says "A monster with tremorsense can detect and pinpoint the...

I suspect that someone who wants to play a bladelock would not feel satisfied subbing in eldritch blast.

My house rule is 1/day, 2/day starting at level 11. No complaints, but then, no barbarians in the party either ;)

You just don't use those things. I've always been a bit skeptical, but you can read about it here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?468625-Graceful-Destruction-A-Guide-to-Dex-Based-Barbarism

Well that’s what you get when you dump Int

I agree the 4e universe setup was pretty good, but so is Eberron and a lot of the old 2e settings. I like them better than the FR-centered lore of 5e, but I don't really feel like they are "gone." Still easy to use if you want. I actually kind of liked the more-or-less setting neutral take of 3e...

I have to agree: mechanics and everything else aside, the idea of spell preparation is pretty central to my concept of the wizard class.

Unfortunately, rarity isn’t always a great proxy for the desirability of a magic item, so breaking disputes useing an item count won’t always be satisfactory. An auction system would probably be fairer, if a formal mechanism is truly needed.
