    D&D 5E (2024) PHB Playtest Packet 7 drops Thrusday, September 7.

    Huh. I swear Jeremy mentioned in a previous video that the Necromancer was going to be one of the Wizard subclasses. I guess they changed their minds.

    D&D General What do you NOT want systems for?

    I've never been a fan of multi-classing to begin with because it leads to all the broken builds. WotC has a hard enough time balancing individual classes against each other, and this imbalance just gets exacerbated when multi-classing gets involved. As a result, some of the design decisions...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ideas for a Crystalline Biome?

    Reminds me of the Fraggles eating the construction of the poor Doozers on Fraggle Rock.

    D&D General What do you NOT want systems for?

    At the risk of angering the entire Enworld community, I'd love to see Multiclassing go the way of the Dodo. Or, if Multiclassing MUST be endured, I'd like the following rules: 1) You can only have 2 classes. No Fighter 3/Rogue 3/Sorcerer 1/Druid 2. 2) At least one of the classes needs to be...

    D&D 5E (2024) Predictions for Playtest packet 7's arrival

    NGL, I would have loved to have had the long weekend to pore over UA 7. Any chance they'll release it on a Friday?

    D&D 5E (2024) Predictions for Playtest packet 7's arrival

    Perhaps you missed the part where I said, "after they're finished with the PHB UAs." The PHB UAs need extensive playtesting before we can fill out the surveys. But the DMG doesn't really need it. We can read the changes and form conclusions without any "playtesting" involved. The MM might...

    D&D 5E (2024) Final Guesses: packet 7 subclasses

    Maybe he was just varying his adjectives so as not to sound repetitive? I do that all the time in my speaking/writing. I not a big fan of using the same words over and over and will change things up with synonyms if a can. For instance, in my first sentence I used the words "varying" and...

    D&D 5E (2024) Predictions for Playtest packet 7's arrival

    Is there any chance that, after they're finished with the PHB UAs, they'll stagger the release of the MM and DMG UAs? Like, release MM UA, two weeks later release DMG UA, two weeks later do MM survey, two weeks later do DMG survey, two weeks later do second MM UA, etc.

    D&D 5E (2024) Are you going to buy the new 2024 D&D Core Books

    This. I'm still in the "maybe" camp, but I couldn't care less about the reviews. I'm still waiting to see how the rest of the playtest shakes out before I make up my mind. But that wasn't an option in the poll, so I didn't answer.

    D&D 5E (2024) Monster Slayer ranger

    Considering @HorrorRogue was looking for advice on how to create a Monster Slayer Ranger now, proposing an idea for a potential change to the Ranger that you dreamed up is not very helpful to their build options.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lawful, Chaotic, and Neutral touched species.

    I've seen a suggestion by rpgbot.com that, rather than using good & evil, more accurate terminology would be selfless & selfish.

    D&D 5E (2024) What innovative elements from Baldur's Gate 3 would you like to see implimented in 2024 D&D?

    This is the main reason I have yet to buy the game. I know as soon as I buy it, my 11 year old daughter is going to want to play it and I don't know if there's a way to turn this stuff off. We'll have to stick to Solasta, where we can each create 2 characters in the party and play it together.

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Survey Feedback: Weapon Mastery Spectacular; Warlock and Wizard Mixed Reactions

    I still say CON would make sense for a Sorcerer's casting stat. After all, your magical power comes from within your body. As for Warlocks, I never had a problem with them being CHA based since they gain their spellcasting by pleading with a Patron to give them power. Persuasion checks use...

    D&D 5E (2024) Class spell lists and pact magic are back!

    I'm certainly no expert in polling, but it seems like, rather than using "Dissatisfied, Slightly Dissatisfied, Slightly Satisfied, and Satisfied," they should have gone with "Dissatisfied, Needs Revision, Needs Minor Tweak, Satisfied." That would clear up some of the confusion as to what the...

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Survey Feedback: Weapon Mastery Spectacular; Warlock and Wizard Mixed Reactions

    Or they could go back to the old method where, once you take a second class, you had to keep levelling the second class until you had the same number of levels in each class. And, thereafter, neither class could be more than one level higher than the other. That would certainly fix the dipping...

    D&D 5E (2024) How Will They Fix Warlock Spellcasting Issues?

    Gaze of Two Minds only works on humanoids. I'm pretty sure there is nothing in the Conjure X or Summon Y spells that would be considered humanoid. Even fey creatures, like Dryads, are specifically listed as "fey," not "humanoid (fey)."

    D&D 5E (2024) What type of ranger would your prefer for 2024?

    Most people don’t realize that MacGyver was a Ranger ;)

    D&D 5E (2024) What type of ranger would your prefer for 2024?

    I think a better example than dropping a preset bear trap on the ground would be improvising a snare on the spot. That seems like an ability that would be Ranger exclusive (or maybe shared with the Druid, or a specific Druid subclass).

    D&D 5E (2024) Playtest 6 Survey is Open

    Groups don’t need to use the ‘24 Species. They can combine the ‘14 Races with the’24 Classes. Or so I keep hearing…

    D&D 5E (2024) Does WotC view the Monk class as overtuned from their perspective?

    Move Heightened Metabolism up to Level 5 🤷‍♂️ It's not so much a replacement, as it is a power shift.
