Are you talking about a game redesign such as a future 6th Edition? Or homebrew modifications to existing DnD rules? If we're talking about a game redesign then I'd say check out MCDM's Draw Steel for inspiration, or hell even something like World of Warcraft talent trees could probably work...

Yeah for sure, this thread was a dumpster fire from post #1. Derailing this thread can only help things and you're all good I was speaking more broadly in terms of the continuous trends observed in other threads which often are labeled as DnD 5e (2024), yet always end up with people (plural...

No one's being mean, just pointing out that disruptive posting is disruptive If only these forums had a way to tag which specific edition of the game your thread was about, and people knew that the thread was about that specific edition. Then we could let the people who enjoyed that edition...

If an enemy is intelligent enough to cast dispel magic then obviously they are intelligent to know they can dispel Tiny Hut. Has anyone ever questioned this?

And you only have 3 spellslots, so you can use metamagic on most of your spells. It's level 2, resources are rather limited for everyone so I don't know what you're expecting here

Reading the wording in the PHB I see no reason why they wouldn't stack, and making a character on DnD Beyond, the bonuses do stack. So I'm going with Yes, they do stack.

You don't see appeal of Metamagic? It's kind of the entire reason to play Sorcerer

I disagree with the thread title of Casters generally being disappointing at Level 2 (e.g. absolutely not true for Sorcerers and Warlocks). Level 2 is definitely a weak spot for Wizards, you aren't wrong there. And then Clerics/Druids get powerful core features at Level 2 although you could...

Yeah or maybe people actually like Pepperoni pizza no matter how much you want to believe we'll change our minds if you keep ranting about it

I'm curious what demographic you think they are abandoning. Because I'm almost 50 and I see WotC pandering to my generation all over the place with the 5.5e books targeting 80's nostalgia that would go completely over the heads of the younger crowd. WotC cares ONLY about money and if you have...

Ok I'm convinced, I'm in, let's do this! Wow that was fast! Crisis averted

If you are trying to build the most powerful character possible, Multiclassing is almost always the correct answer. The character power gained per level is just sooooo much higher at low levels than it is at high levels, except for very rare cases (e.g. 9th level spells). If you don't care...

This is the correct answer. Innate Sorcery gives advantage on True Strike attacks but ONLY if you are casting True Strike as a Sorcerer spell which generally means using Charisma as your spell attack modifier. Often times this is a restriction which makes Innate Sorcery not work well for True...

This seems like a dubious conclusion to draw, but I suppose it does vary from table to table and my experience may not match yours

That's because RAW you can only craft what items the DM allows the materials to be available for, so you still require DM approval either way

That's the thing though, you don't really need to keep it all straight, you mostly just let the players manage their own results. It works better for lower stakes combats or where you're pressed for time on a session ending, I wouldn't recommend it for an important boss battle. It's messy but...

Your comparison is definitely valid. Abilities which grant Temporary HP are much more prevalent in 2024 rules. Almost every class has access to either a baseline or subclass ability which is similarly powerful as the Twilight Cleric temp HP ability. I also really liked your analysis of how...

In addition to some of the advice above, something I've toyed with for less-critical non-boss combats is rolling initiative and setting up the map, then at the start of each turn having every player simultaneously declare their action / bonus action (which can take several minutes for everyone...

You've never seen anyone try to steal anything? Most players I have seen are always trying to steal everything that isn't bolted down, so Sleight of Hand comes into play constantly. This is an F-tier completely useless skill though if you are Lawful Good and not stealing

Very true, but it's definitely possible for everyone to rank based on their highly situational experience, and combine the aggregated results
