Oh I'm sure it will, Oh, I'm sure it will, but I just feel like if anything Necromancer would be exiled to the DMG like Death Domain and Oathbreaker… And Transmuter was in Essentials Kit so it's what WotC considers "Subclass #2" for the class.

Botanist and/or Monster part resource user, Fleshweaver (Dr. Frankenstein), Swordmage/Armamentalist (Forge Adept is basically this, but it's also Keith Baker homebrew), Magitechnician/Engineer/Tinkerer, Physicist messing with the laws of reality (Dunamancy Artificer?), Mathematician/Geometer...

Yeah, I'm still confused by it. I wish Poison Damage was called like Toxin Damage. It's given to venomous things just as often as poisonous things.

How about calling them Power Points and return the Monk to being Psionic as it was in 4e? *edit: I've always thought of PP = Power Points, rather than Psi Points, due to Golden Sun using it for their Psynergetic Powers. Of course, in Japan, they're EP - Energy Points, and Psynergy is just...

I had thought they were in MotM, but yeah, they're only in Icewind Dale thus far, so I'd place a good bet on reprinting them here, given that it's a sort of Rules Expansion type book while Icewind Dale is an adventure.

I turned the video off when it was clear they had a very anti-4e, pro-Pathfinder bias. No ill will toward Pathfinder, personally, though. Just didn't want to even engage in the complex feelings that come up from that sort of thing.

I wish, and for Fomorians too, but neither of those are classical members of the Ordning. They got upgraded to MM1-level status in 4e due to synergy with the Shadowfell and Feywild, respectively. It's relatively easy to homebrew those variants, though!

It's not just that. The market was hosed, but they also hosed it in such a way that gave birth to oggles of competitors that they were hosing just to keep up with the output. 5e is more confident to peddle along with 3-7 releases a year (including special edition reprints, recompliations, etc)...

The main reason I see 2 not panning out is that Planescape is a few months away now, and they may not have made the decision in time for the book to get it. There should have been enough time, but the way they talk about it in that video from a few months ago, it sounds like the Ardling if...

Regarding UA survey results and analysis: It’s worth rewatching this D&D Beyond official video from February explaining their analysis of the survey results and how they balance against broader interest: why the Ardling and Jump Action got cut, why Goliath is in, how they parse more than just...

Fair. I think what I’d make these 2 spells count toward your spells prepared total (as opposed to other class/subclass feature freebies). I didn’t realise Lore Bard players lost their mind, though I also imagine that’s tied in with how restricted the Bard list was on Playtest Packet 2 to begin...

Was just reading Brandes Stoddard's Bard breakdown over on Tribality, and it got me thinking: What if Magical Discoveries was baselined as a core class feature at like 3rd or 5th level, but you couldn't swap these 2 spells from other power sources out until 10th level when you have access to...

Yeah, thought you already liked Bard = Shaman, so I was eager to hear your thoughts on the new variable spell lists! :)

Just had a thought, especially wanting @Yaarel 's opinion! People who wanted Charisma shaman characters? Primal Bards. In fact, the College of Spirits might be a perfect choice for this. I'd still houserule that you can use a ceremonial mask as your spell focus when you take the College of...

How about Break-> Topple -> Daze -> Burst or Break -> Topple -> Launch -> Smash? ala Xenoblade? I Like the idea of having to break their stance before you can topple them.

If we define Priest as "ordained or an unaffiliated prophet within the faith of a religion", and Bishops as "a high-ranking ordained priest," then All Clerics are Priests, and all Bishops are Priests, but not all Priests are Clerics and not all Priests are Bishops and not all Bishops are Clerics.

I understood that reference!

Maybe have a Recharge Dice pool, which is equal to but separate from your HD. Depending on the length of your SR, you can roll 1 or more RD. 10 min = 1 RD 20 min = 2 RD 30 min = 3 RD 40 min = 4 RD 50 min = 5 RD 60 min = 6 RD Choose a SR recharge feature and roll a number of RD equal to 1/10th...

Maybe some sort of risk/reward table for short rests; you can recharge a portion of your SR pool or heal some HP in proportional ranges from 10m to 1 hr, but 1 HR recharges all of it, but the longer the rest, the higher the rate of risk of a complication arising (perhaps longer SRs add dice to...

Huh, I would have thought that because before you said most people didn't have a lunch hour, you'd be fine with the 30 min SR which is the standard lunch break for my contractors. They also get 15 min snack/coffee breaks every couple hours, so that lends itself to a 15/15/30/15/15 set up for...
