My understanding (someone please correct me if I am wrong in this) is Power Point rewards are given for a session at a rate determined by the GM. Once the total PP award would put them on part with a starting character of the next PowerLevel, GMs typically treat it as a level-up. Example: if the...

What an interesting thread this is, which I appear to be a mere 17 years late to. Very cool that you are keeping up with this.

I am reading comments from those who bought the PDF and most are positive. Based on what I read, here are some summaries of comments: Sounds like they made changes to the Damage system, which was something people really wanted. Layout is apparently much better from 3e. Added optional levels of...

The build in question was Dueling at level 1, Great Weapon Master at level 4, Polearm Master at level 6, and Mounted Combatant at level 8. You attack with a lance. The dragon becomes medium sized, and rideable by a medium sized PC, at level 7. And it's flying at that level too, though it doesn't...

OK, fair enough. If it were a Pegasus would that seem better?

You're looking at the pet, not the impact the pet had on the fighter. It was very powerful. I guess I will need to pull the build and demonstrate it.

OK but you're playing a highly mobile knight, not the dragon.

It was not feeble. It was a rather powerful class when combined with the right feats and tactics.

I really liked the UA Purple Knight. I wish they had simply responded to the criticism by changing it to a different name and lore. Amethyst Knight or whatever.

That clause was removed in 2024. It definitely no longer says that. Here is all it says now, "Flee. The target spends its turn moving away from you by the fastest available means." It USED to say, back in 2014, "The spell has no effect if ... your command is directly harmful to it." That's been...

This looks intriguing. At some point I need to try out Maps. I keep hearing good things.

Both are a Wisdom save. And at that level, both are mostly used to get the target to move away from you. Whispers does some damage, but at that level it's not a lot of damage. Command can also do halt, drop, approach. and grovel. But, at least based on my limited experience, Command is most...

And I think that's after-the-fact copium. Half-elves have been in the game since 1e, and half-orcs I think the same? One or both are prominent named figures in the history of not one, but almost every single setting WOTC ever put out. At various times they ranged from major to minor differences...

What you just described never made it into the books. When you say it's explicitly allowed, I believe you're referencing something they had in a UA, which got scraped for the 2024 books. As far as I am aware, it's not explicit nor implied. They don't mention the topic at all.

But these days it's almost just casting any 8th level spell. Doing anything else with it is highly risky.

I have never had a campaign last beyond 13th level. For 5e, my highest level PC is 12th level though that is going strong and will reach higher levels I think. But we also take much longer to level than most, it seems. We have lots of sessions of just RP. We play a single campaign for years. A...

yes we do

There is also a video on a behind the scenes coverage of how subclasses were edited, how they began, changes and final version to show the evolution of the rules.

It's pretty easy to simply print to PDF

What is the ability of the Feline Court class to turn into a cat like?
