Isn't the Psi Warrior Fighter the obvious choice here? Maybe pick up some feats for additional thematic magic spells. Aberrant Mind Sorcerer is a solid take on a "these aren't the droids you're looking for" jedi.

We've kicked off Free League's edition of Twilight: 2000. This is one of my all time favorite campaign settings. Even better: This time, I'm a player! Our GM for this campaign was the paladin in the previous Shadow of the Demon Lord campaign (and before that the tiefling shadow sorcerer in the...

49th and final session of Monte Cook's 3E Banewarrens campaign run with Shadow of the Demon Lord on Owlbear Rodeo. Five player characters at level 10. Dwarf Executioner/Berserker/Warrior. He now wields the sacred Axehammer of the Lost Clan. Elf Librarian/Wizard/Magician. Outcast from elven...

Congratulations to the team!

I've run a high level campaign with 5 players and it was definitely hard to challenge them. In contrast, I'm also running campaigns with 3 players and find the by-the-book monsters and encounter building work well. If you want to keep things simple, this is my recommendation: When the...

47th session of my Neverwinter campaign. Three 9th level characters: half-orc vengeance paladin, human genie warlock, drow evoker wizard. Short session due to lots of (lovely) chatter at the table. The characters are attempting to infiltrate the residence of the Tower Arcane's ambassador to...

Having run a 1-20 5E campaign, here's what I believe the four tiers are: Tier 1: Level 1. First level is its own thing and unique in the game due primarily to the fragility of player characters. Tier 2: Level 2 - Level 4. Characters have good survivability and are reasonably effective, but not...

Overall I like what I'm seeing. Some really good quality of life improvements. This packet is probably my favorite so far. The paladin is just about perfect. The ability to use Divine Smite with unarmed strikes is awesome. Now I really want to play a paladin brawler in heavy armor. I wish all...

I will be there for MM2.

46th session of my Neverwinter campaign. Three 9th level characters: half-orc vengeance paladin, human genie warlock, drow evoker wizard. This was a transitional episode. The characters had just finished a campaign arc. It was time to reward them and give them the choice of their next adventure...

45th session of my Neverwinter campaign. Three 9th level characters: half-orc vengeance paladin, human genie warlock, drow evoker wizard. This was a short session. The characters were just cleaning up the final opposition for this campaign arc -- a few drow minions of the mind flayer overlord...

I would like the subclasses to be more iconic than 5E. What do I mean by that? Here's one example: There is no plant-themed subclass for the druid. It's basically the most obvious subclass imaginable. And yet after nearly a decade...still no sign of it. Same for a barbarian that hulks out, a...
