All classes can fight, but the Fighter is still arguably overall best at it. Any class can now take proficiency in thieves tools or stealth (vs in early editions), but the Rogue still gets abilities that make them the best at those roles. Most classes have some sort of full or near-full caster...

Expand the thought beyond “reward roleplaying” to “reward adding extra to the game.” Some players add lots of flourishes to their characters and spice up the experience at the table. Others can’t get into their role beyond 5he third person but are the ones who think up the insane plans no one...

Centaurs and Minotaurs are the topics of this month's Unearthed Arcana!Centaurs gallop into Unearthed Arcana this month—a playtest option for when you choose your character’s race. Another type of character from Greek myth joins them: minotaurs. We first showed off minotaurs in a 2015...

The nautical nerf is sad but understandable in that they still haven’t really come out with good rules on running a game on the high seas (like mass combat, that’s a genre-motif expansion that seemed effectively promised early on but never appeared).

Does the book contain anything explicit on using it with different D&D worlds/settings (like how SCAG had sidebars with suggestions for renaming or similar conversions of new class and races elements to non-FR settings), or does the “multiverse” conceit operate as if the material is basically...

As a Dragonlance junkie, it’s interesting to see how they’ve pulled back the damage on the minotaur to make it more workable as a player race (I imagine that working with the Volo races gave them a better baseline). The Hybrid Nature mechanic is interesting here, especially given the number of...

As others have said, I’ve mostly seen Ready used to combined actions in sequence. Perhaps it’s because I play with folks who love heist films as much as I do, but lining up sets of coordinated actions that go off like clockwork once everyone is position is something beautiful...

Only dwarves are allowed to drink at the table.

The first thought I have about the Gangs of New York angle was about the role of immigrants (knowing that gang battles could be referenced in any number of films). Assuming as many of us do that Waterdeep and Undermountain are involved, the thought occurred to me to think about the unsettled...

This issue with this debate is that it’s not really about abilities vs. feats, any more that single-class vs. multiclass is really about that. The real question here is specialization vs. generalization, choosing to focus a character on one thing the best or enabling them to do multiple things...

Would such necessarily have to be a two-parter, rather than two adventures built separate but able to e run in sequence if desired (perhaps one is 1-10 and the other 8-15 or such?) without modifications if the DM desired, or could at least be run in a connected campaign (or borrow elements from...

I love the choice of Sacred Statue here for the Eidolon to inhabit. It must be a Grognard Eidolon!

All this talk of giant tails somehow suddenly makes me picture a tiefling in a white dress with a “bridesmaid” henchman following, lifting up the tail behind her as she walks like a wedding gown train.

Don't focus on the goliath rogue's sneak issues, consider how many more sorts of objects he can interact with for free on his turn!

Where does he play at, Google?

If we're talking digital comics, don't forget Marvel Unlimited. While it's not purchasing, paying a subscription to accessing an entire 70k book back catalogue and read all the "new" books six months after they come out is beyond worth it. I've gone back and read/reread entire runs of titles...
