I am happy with cantrips as they are. Perhaps allow them to add your stat bonus (Int, Wis Chr) to damage roll to keep pace. I don't buy the argument that light and dancing lights ruin exploration when everyone and their sister either has Darkvision or a class ability that eliminates darkness...

My thoughts on this playtest 1) I love that rangers also gain expertise. It fits their class perfectly. 2) I do not like rangers getting cantrips. What benefit do full casters have if half casters gain cantrips? Especially this early 3) I miss the hunter having multiple options to choose from...

My thoughts on the cleric playtest 1) I do not like choosing a domanin at 3rd level. Most Deities in 5E only have one or two domains. What is the point of waiting till 3rd level? 2) Channel Divinity does not seem to keep up with the power level of the characters. The healing should be a D10 or...

I would say that yes, D&D is 90% combat. If that were not the case then so many discussions about balance, martials vs casters and other such topics would not have gained traction in the forums. The Rogue is a classic example. Before it was about skills, disarming traps, picking pockets, etc...

That is an interesting take on Raistlin but I cannot believe a mere warlock could ever defeat Takhisis. Perhaps Raistlin was a multiclass wizard or sorcerer/warlock. This would explain him accepting the bargain and passing the Test of High Sorcery by cheating

Its only a feat chain if you do not take the background. I like that certain feats cannot be taken at first level. I would throw the overpowered sharp shooter and great weapon master into this restriction also. Not as much of an issue at high level but very overpowered when taken at first level...

I really like the feat options, especially for casters! The White Robes, Red Robes & Black Robes all have a feat that is flavorful and impactful. Its about time that casters get solid feat choices to rival martials! I also like the Knights of Solamnia feat options though I wish they were...

I really like the options. I am very excited to see White Robe, Red Robe & Black Robe spellcasters get good feat choices that can rival martials for once! Its about time casters get some nifty feat choices.

Lawyer :ROFLMAO:

I am surprised that is the case as I view AD&D as the means for Gary Gygax to cut Dave Arneson out of the profits. Gary had to pay Dave royalties for D&D BECMI but not AD&D. The articles I read said Gary would always run BECMI but had rules for AD&D for profit reasons

Nobles receiving a +1 strength makes complete sense. Most nobles during medieval times regardless of culture had to be warriors. All men were trained for combat

I hope it is better than the filler books they wrote as filler between the Canticles series. Those books were terrible and I say this as a life long Dragon Lance fan

Thank you

I have looked for the answer to this in the rule book but I cannot find an answer. Proficiency in skills, attacks, saving throws and saving throw dc's scale by level. Does armor class for PC's function in the same way? For example, does a 5th level rogue with leather armor and a dexterity of 18...

There are no inherent restrictions on what alignments get played. Its more of a social agreement between players and DM. That agreement varies widely at each table. The issue with too much agency destroys game fun. I want to worry about game plot and monsters and loot. I don't want to have to...

Monks do not suck. They just do not dominate a single aspect of combat hence people claim, they are terrible. The only possible change I would give monks is a flat bonus to armor that stacks with Dex bonus. Maybe 15+Dex mod. The end result is still a 20 Armor Class but at lower levels the monk...

Honestly, all character classes should have the same base amount of skills and only receive a bonus based upon intelligence. Skill monkeys are not needed anymore as D&D has given up even trying to pretend that skills balance out combat abilities. Let people create the characters they want. If...

That’s a good rationale, however that was not the point of your thread. At least by what I gather, you don’t seem to want any alignment so there can be no restrictions whatsoever. That is a recipe for disaster as it leads to problems. All games need to have agree upon rules in order to function...

By your logic you are restricting the paladin player’s agency. Why is your agency more important than anyone else’s at the table?

You are wrong. Paladins are required to be good. Only the lawful aspect was removed from the class
