    D&D 5E (2024) [+] What does a non-spellcaster Psion need/look like?

    do you know what character i see as a nigh fundamental depiction of a psion? MCU scarlet witch (age of ultron to infinity war, i haven't seen them in anything beyond that point)

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    in '24 it straight up is expertise they gain with level 2 deft explorer feature (pushed back one level from '14), and they get two more at, 9th level i think it is? for a total of three expertise unless i missed something.

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    i like the expertise in canny but the extra languages are a bit meh, i might replace them with tool proficiencies, especially in '24 given tools seem to have more use.

    D&D General Settings of Hope vs Settings of Despair

    you'd think having breading would be held in high regards for a people so invested in good food and cooking! :ROFLMAO:

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    what you say is true but what i meant was that the emphasis of '24 ranger's design on hunter's mark seems to wants us to believe that hunter's mark IS ranger's 'signature feature' comparable to rage or sneak attack. personally i think favoured foe and terrain in a different incarnation could've...

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    i'd have to disagree with you, i absolutely despise HM in it's entirety.

    that just means we can grandfather in SO MANY features for it. :LOL:

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    and as much as '24 seems to be trying to convince us of it, hunter's mark is not 'it.'

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    sure, but they weren't exactly the only classes that existed in that edition were they? and the list of feats the fighter could take were a bunch of fightery things intended to serve as your class features within a theme, the fighter couldn't just take wildshape could they? plus, i suspect many...

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    i don't hate the idea of feat-based customization, in fact i quite like it, but as a supplemental system to narrow in on specific ideas within an existing array of designed classes, rather than the entire basis of a character creation system. i don't think DnD is ever going to go full...

    D&D General 5e System Redesign through New Classes and Setting. A Thought Experiment.

    How dare you accuse me of using such methods as the bag of rats strategy, what do you take me for? i am of course using nothing less than the far superior rag of bats technique.

    D&D General Settings of Hope vs Settings of Despair

    Have you tried the coin flip trick? Heads or Tails it and if you’re disappointed by the outcome you know you actually wanted it the other way. Personally I think I fall on the hope side of things, even if the world i might make may be a setting that’s harsh and full of danger the people in it...

    D&D General What's your view on a pirate-driven campaign?

    while sailing, encountering ships and navigating storms and sea creatures are an essential part of making a pirate/naval campaign a pirate/naval campaign i think that perhaps counter-intuitively, it is where you make land that is the most important to making a good campaign of it all, land is...

    D&D General Making Spellcasters feel Caster-y without actually Casting?

    personally i'm fine with people using their own yardsticks for that question, i'm more interested in what kinds of abilities people would then go onto think a caster class would want if spell slots (or points as that's just slots with extra steps) weren't an option on the table in their design...

    D&D General Should you Multiclass?

    if it had to exist i'd wish multiclassing was in it's own lane of progression rather than as part of your main character level, like, maybe hypothetically for every two levels your character gets of their straight progression they get to multiclass one extra level for some other class(stats...

    D&D General Making Spellcasters feel Caster-y without actually Casting?

    This isn’t about how many slots casters should or shouldn’t have, it’s about what kind of abilities they could have that’d make them feel like they’re using magic but which don’t rely on spells and slots.

    D&D General Making Spellcasters feel Caster-y without actually Casting?

    Well, i’d say those feel more like answers to the question of how to limit the rate slot based casting is used at rather than actual alternatives to it.

    D&D General Making Spellcasters feel Caster-y without actually Casting?

    So, there's once again discussion in a thread about how casters get too many slots to properly balance them for the adventuring day and while i don't want to focus on that specifically it sparked something to think about, if we wanted to move caster design away from being reliant on having a big...
