Well idk about all levels. Did A5E nerf all the spells not just fireball?

Ive seen the X4 multiplier estimate being used as well. Funny here when you get pushback on bomscan numbers essentially confirming what WotCs already told us lol. Basically the bog selling 5E items eg core rules, tashas+Xanathars, 1st boxed set and Strahd/Dragon Queen which got redone...

5.5 is kinda like that. Only "good" caster level 3 is the warlock. Specific druid and cleric subclasses are next up.

Ironically some of the "standard" estimates for 5E sales is 4 or 5 times bookscans numbers. I look at it more like a poll. Whatever its numbers are its bigger than any poll. I dont use bookscan for total numbers and as I said we dont know what metrics WotC uses.

Maybe not completely useless. We dont know what metrics wotc uses. 60% digital and we dont know if they're using revenue, profit or sales numbers. Bookscans useful for trends and big selling items. Its useless for overall sales and WotC Financials. We also don't know what % bookscan...

I dont think they considered things that much. In effect they nerfed the fighter outside of very stingy DMs.

Paraphrase the video? Big selling first year is often 200k to 300k. 100k sales on release could count as fastest selling ever.

That piece isnt bad at all. Theres also a bard picture. She looks like Jem and the Holograms refugee. Kinda like it though it may not fit ones viewpoint of D&D tbf.

Yeah the wisdom is hard to cram in under point buy.

Freedom of movements/free action spells as well.

My end issue doesn't really have anything like that. TPK might be possible. Some of the encounters leading up to them may be interesting. Marilith or Balor plus friends multiple spellcasters etc.

Ironically in 2E you woukd have most likely made the save and chewed the lich to pieces. As DM i would have let you control the summoned elephants. And wouldn't set up a 4 hour combat. I dont remember summons as bad in 2E. PCs used them.

Generally I like the 5.5 phb art. The bad is very mid though. Cartoonist isnt for me but arts so subjective. Pretty art works on casuals though. DiA looks great think I broke one my players hearts when I said it was mid adventure being generous.

The why woukd be weapon masteries. Also depends on 5.0 spells being available. I wouldn't play a Bladesinger if they weren't.

You're probably right. Hold person is on more spell lists though and not everyone took spell initiate. I probably wouldn't bother with a cleric for example since you have command. Deadly duo. Command+tashas Unholy trinity. Fear, Hypnotic Pattern, Slow Power Couple AKA we want to hurt...

Im saying digital art tends to have that shiny cgi type feeling on a lot of it. Even if you do an old school type update. AI art probably copies that. I lije the cover art on the alt core I bought. Interiors a mixed bag as per usual. Normal art on new FR books meh ones low side of meh...

Shrugs versatility is good. Rangervor Paladin level for reasons.

Hold person is probably mine as a DM spell. Its on the most NPCs I use irrc.

Its a stress test. Balor at 19 leaves a bit in the bucket so Ive added one of them in another encounter. Plus friends.

Bladesing with a mace?
