Yes! Ranger's core feature should be an animal Companion. The nature of the companion would allow the ranger to have damage (feline) and defense (bear) options, as well as mobility (mount) or support (bird). Then, the rangers archetype can take the place of favored Enemy; bounty hunters and...

Yours has the same issue as favored Enemy in 3E; it requires mother may I from the DM to make sure you get to use the ability. If it's something you can switch on a long rest, and later a short rest, that would be one thing. I'd prefer rebalancing Hunter's Mark (and Hex) to not be concentration...

I fully expect a "woops, players, Relentless was supposed to remove concentration..." War Priests get limited concentration less shield of faith and spiritual weapon (spiritual weapon got nerfed with concentration, eh?), Rangers can have it too.

Myrmidon was a lot of fun. I was thinking about fighting game characters a lot while making it. I'm glad you think it's not clunky, as there's so many moving parts.

I'm with you on the Warrior of the Elements. Being able to choose 1, 2, or 4 elements would be nice and fun. Also, I hope to finish up the Expanded Elementalist soon, with 10 elements, 10 subclasses, and lots of new Adaptations. I'm glad you like it!

Gods of Luck, the crossroads/travel, and time are all common. I could see those. Freedom/Chaos too.

I'm sad there's only going to be 4 subclasses for Cleric and Wizard in the 2024 PHB. Since this is related to the pantheon, what other domains can you think of that feel "missing"? Arcana Domain Death Domain Forge Domain Grave Domain Knowledge Domain Life Domain Light Domain Moon Domain Nature...

Point Buy is currently 1 point per point for 9 through 13, and 2 points for 14 and 15. Standard Point Buy is 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8. If 16 and 17 cost 3 points (their modifiers) and 18 cost 4 points, we can. Assume 17, 14, 14, 12, 10, 8 as typical, which would be worth 35 points. So 35 point buy...

I thought I'd slap together a proposed patch for the new Ranger. I know it's super early, but the Hunter's Mark concentration and the Beast Master bonus action issues are too large for me to ignore. What do you think? Level 1: Spellcasting: Allow the Ranger to prepare all their spells each...

This is a feature I've wanted them have for a long time.

That's true. 4E's later solution was pretty neat. Some solos had 2 turns. They also got to shake off certain abilities at the end of a turn. So a stun could take down one of their turns, but it didn't lock them in forever.

What if they just get advantage on saves? Each time it is successful, check off a hit. When they end up succeeding 3 saves, the ability is expended. Or they get 3 rerolls.

I miss when crafting had a little mini game. Roll your tool check, multiply by something, and you make that much GP progress toward completing. Can check multiplied by DC work? DC 10 for a standard healing potion would be 1 day of work.

I really like this. I just went and crunched some minor numbers, comparing a TWFing rogue to a TWFing ranger, not using hunters mark and assuming the 11th level subclass features are gonna be comparable to getting a 3rd attack. The ranger is solidly behind the rogue at every level, and that's...

I love this. I'll use it for my next game!

This brings up something I've been wondering. Why are their evil gods? What if all gods were Good or Neutral, the typical divine conflict being between Law and Chaos, while the Devils, Demons, and other fiends handle the evil. I too love the 4E pantheon, especially how it decouples gods from...

I agree with not liking skills under each ability. It makes it harder to house rule in new skills. It also ties the skills to the abilities, though they might have abandoned that.

I recall Silver dragons being described as having small scales that don't change size as they grow, so that they look smoother and smoother as they age. That was the thought I had. And yeah. Metallic dragons collect their own scales, while Chromatic dragons try to kill or steal from Metallic...

I recently started rolling an idea around in my head. D&D worlds have a lot of precious metals going around. Piles of gold coins is unrealistic by real world standards. What if copper, silver, and gold coins are the scales of copper, silver, and gold dragons? What if that's part of why peaceful...

I'm strongly tempted to switch to 100:1 in my games. All gp costs switch to sp costs, copper becomes usable, platinum is WEALTH.
