So I've been playing around with a few monk changes for my table. I've not yet fully incorporated weapon masteries because we're not yet fully switching to the playtest but I've sort of done it? Tentatively I like the idea of monks getting masteries at level one like other martials and then...

As written I'll still be choosing to ignore the existence of these feats, and instead continue to use my homebrew feat that our table has been using without any real issues: ARMED AND ARMORED: You gain your choice of two of the following options. This feat can be taken multiple times, though...

Ah yes. The most boring and arguably weakest of all of the "masteries" that nearly every person discussing Weapon masteries has claimed is by far the worst of them since the system was publically announced. Such a great alternative. ...sarcasm aside, you seem or have misunderstood or failed to...

Agree with all of this. I frankly don't understand where people are coming away from this thinking the monk is "better" than the 2014 version when 95% of it is the same and the few tweaks they did add neither address the actual issues with the class or consider the mechanical implications that...

Honestly I like all of the changes to cleric with the exception of one thing: War domain needs extra attack at 6th level. I wish they'd replace the bonus action limited attack with something else minor.

While I disagree with the narrow definition of what a "fighter" is in this thread. (I'm on board for ruling out Eldritch Knight but frankly every other subclass I would argue should be present. Though to answer the question we've had a number of straight class fighters, many of whom has made it...

Personally I think it would be simpler to just make a template with more options to pick from from monstrous abilities. I mean if you throw in enough options that you can basically build any typical sort of animal, why do you need it to be monster statblock? Off hand I'd say easy examples are...

And I think you're giving business executives too much credit. The corporate brainrot runs deep. They don't know a dang thing about this game or market or they wouldn't have tried to pull that OGL stunt in the first place. Or alternatively they simply do not care and will do it anyway. Again...

The real question is why is anyone here even asking this question, when we all know the answer: they'll release new classes as paid dlc / microtransactions for their new VTT, likely at a rushed or untested rate that has nothing to do with actual balance or quality of game play, but at whatever...

Other way around. The warlock mechanics should just be rolled into the sorcerer. I'm not talking a subclass. I'm talking get rid of warock and fundamentally rebuild sorcerer from the ground up taking the better ideas of warlock with it. Then take all existing warlock subclasses and make them...

I'd be okay with that too, so long as it was properly balanced. The larger point is that the warlock shouldn't exist. The two classes both eat into each other's design spaces constantly (i.e. we don't have a dragon warlock because of sorcerer, and we don't have a fey/hag sorcerer because of...

Where is the "A class that should not exist and should be combined with the sorcerer to give them Pact Magic for spellcasting, and Metamagic/invocations all fueled by sorcery points" option of the poll?

I have not used the game as of yet, though the wife, I, and a few of the other players in our group have tried the game out and plan to implement it as possible for our dragonlance campaign. We're not running SotDQ though. I'm doing an Age of Mortals game. My current plan is to use the game as...

So personally I'd honestly suggest a different route that is less optimized: Take shadow touched as early as possible because honestly out of all of those build options the only thing that is even remotely "Raven Queen" themed is that feat. Your table may vary, but for many tables level 11 is a...

Am I excited for the mechanics of the game? Yes. Will Wizards ever get a single dime of my money ever again? Unclear and unlikely. I never forgot who they were from 4e. The latest OGL fiasco is just a reminder and confirmation that my memory and attitude was not misplaced.

But are the specific formulas covered? I.e. abilities that grant an ability mod or a flat bonus to AC? Abilities that have "proficiency uses per short or long rest"? Hell the entire concept of abilities that can be used x times rest period? Or adding your ability modifier to abilities? What...

That's exacarly what people were saying about paid horse armor dlc in gaming and now look where we are, lootbox laden microtransactions and live service hellscapes all around. Before that? It was said the same about large department stores and grocery chains. Now a days? Countless small...

I have not, but that is only because I only have a dndbeyond account because they required me to make one in order to fill out their playtest surveys (something which I've already criticized In literally every single playtest survey I've ever filled out). I have not and will not EVER have any...

See you say that, but in my experience Dominate person tends to be lack luster due to it's "save or wasted action" aspect, particularly when doing an ongoing aoe effect or something that affects multiple party members is more reliable. Your milage may vary and it helps if a monster has legendary...

And personally I think you are not weary enough. Or perhaps have far more faith in a handful of out of touch executives to not make shortsighted decisions in pursuit of higher profit margins and the delusions of infinite growth... ya know, like every other corporation out there? But hey, when...
