    D&D 5E (2024) Stonecunning/tremorsense alternatives

    You could always give them one of the two Heritage gifts from Level Up. Dwarven Stability You gain an expertise die on saving throws against effects that would knock you prone, and on saving throws made to resist being shoved. For 5e, it could be rewritten as: You gain an Advantage on saving...

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    Each class in Level Up: A5e has features that cover each of the three pillars of gameplay. Combat, Exploration and Social Interaction. How they cover these three pillars differs between each class. An A5e Cleric goes out into the wider world to spread their message to the public. An A5e Bard...

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    Having it where each class has a feature or two in the exploration pillar would work better. Isn't that what a Background is for?

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    They are still almost always magical from our point of view. How does a native of a high magic setting see magic? A part of the background? Nothing to write home about? ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    Yes, however, Gandalf dresses the part and carries a staff. Aragorn could be mistaken for a Fighter or a Rogue.

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    I am perfectly okay with it. Whenever my RPG group travelled through the wilderness or through a dungeon, my Gloom stalker Ranger/Scout Rogue always volunteered to scout ahead.

    Well, there is A5e's Fantastic Fletcher archetype for the Ranger. They can augment their arrows in a number of ways.

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    If Aragorn knew any magic as a Ranger in LoTR, it would have to be subtle to the point where you didn't know he cast a spell. A whisper here, a whisper there for the verbal component. A hand gesture that wouldn't seem too out of place for the somatic component. An item seemingly picked up at...

    D&D 5E (2024) Sorcerers Take The Reins

    If 5e was anything like PF1 with regards to Sorcerer Bloodlines, the Sorcerer class would out-archetype the other classes by sheer number alone. ;) PF1 has up to 51 Sorcerer Bloodlines and that's not including the 3pp ones. :p As for PF2, Sorcerer Bloodlines are broken up among the four...

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    True, there could be Ranger builds where the character focuses their attention towards one type of monster. I have seen at least one Ranger subclass whose class features deal exclusively with the undead. These Rangers would be like the Specialist Wizards. A Ranger who deals with all kinds of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    You're welcome. :) I asked because of a post I made on this same thread several pages as well. Level Up: A5e has a feature that is like Favored Enemy called Studied Adversary. It differs from Favored Enemy in that you can change your favored enemy per long rest. I can imagine that the Studied...

    @Rocker26a, what about having it where you can change your Favored Enemy per Long Rest?

    Tell your overdue Kickstarter story

    I remember several decades ago; Palladium Games was planning to come out with a TMNT and Other Strangeness 2. But the plan never went thru because they were worried about the target audience not buying it thanks to the first TMNT cartoon.

    What makes a class satisfying is how you role-play one during a gaming session.

    Pathfinder 1E I’ve Forgotten How to Play Pathfinder

    For some, Pathfinder 1st edition was seen as 3.75e D&D. I gravitated towards it because of its' familiarity. It was a slight improvement over 3.5 but it still gave you the feeling that you were still playing D&D.

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    Why stop there? Every class/subclass has something that needs fixing. ;) I suggest that we start with the Fighter class and go from there. Any chance you have seen the homebrewed version of the Ranger by Laser Llama for 5e?

    I was unaware that someone was doing a Kickstarter for this RPG. curious

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    In addition to the A5e Ranger, there is the alternate version of the class by Laser Llama that also has a good amount of customization worked into it via its' Knacks feature. They sort of work like a feat chain, and you can get up to 10 of them by 20th level. If you wanted your Ranger to be...

    I did. :) Pathfinder 1e, I heard, sometimes went by the nickname 3.75e. ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    Level Up's version of Favored Enemy, Studied Adversary, allows you to replace your current studied adversary with a new one every time you have a Long Rest. It fixed what had to be IMO the biggest drawback that came with Favored Enemy, knowing if your favored enemy was going to be encountered...
