    D&D General 5.5 PHB Species Options

    They were a bit underwhelming back then. Fixed ASIs, a breath weapon and a resistance associated with the damage type of your breath weapon. Breath weapon use was limited to one use/long rest. The Fizban version of the Dragonborn was somewhat better than the 2014 version. Floating ASIs, a...

    D&D General What spells should be on the rangers list?

    More like a Martial-Spellcaster divide. For several editions of D&D, the Ranger has straddled the line between being a martial class and a spellcasting class.

    D&D General 5.5 PHB Species Options

    I wonder how long we'll have to wait for the Genasi to debut in 5.5 and what they'll look like compared to the 5.5 Aasimar and the 5.5 Tiefling.

    D&D General What spells should be on the rangers list?

    This might be why EN Publishing made their Ranger more martial. They might have wanted a Ranger that relied more on skill and their training.

    D&D General What spells should be on the rangers list?

    They would have been more appealing if they had access to the entire Ranger spell list and could prepare a number of spells/long rest. The A5e Ranger swapped out spells for combat maneuvers spread across 5 degrees.

    D&D General What spells should be on the rangers list?

    I've been playing a 2014 Ranger since January 2023 and have relied more on the class's martial side than its' ability to cast spells.

    D&D General What spells should be on the rangers list?

    It's a matter of perspective. While you might not see magic as being mundane, how does the character you play in an adventure see it? If the character is in a low magic setting, magic might still have that fantastical edge to it like it does in RL. But in a high magic setting, it could be...

    D&D General Why do we color-code Dragons?

    Pathfinder has the Kobolds being color-coded. https://www.d20pfsrd.com/RACES/OTHER-RACES/FEATURED-RACES/ARG-KOBOLD/#kobold_scale_coloration

    D&D General Why do we color-code Dragons?

    4e originally had the Dragonborn not resembling the dragons in terms of colors, and there was no sure way to know what kind of breath weapon they had (until they used it). The association between color and breath weapon for Dragonborn is a 5e thing. 4e was also the edition where WoTC tried to...

    D&D General What spells should be on the rangers list?

    If we somehow found ourselves transported into a fantasy setting, things like magic and dragons would seem fantastical to us. However, to someone who grew up and lived in a fantasy setting, the stuff we consider fantastical would be seen as 'mundane' by them. ;) A fantasy Ranger would see...

    D&D General Laser Llama's Alternate Druid class

    There are two likely sources of inspiration for Laser Llama's Shifter, both of which were made for 1st edition Pathfinder. One version was created by the people at Paizo, the other by Legendary Games. https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/shifter The PF1 shifter has archetypes that...

    D&D General What spells should be on the rangers list?

    True, an A5e Fighter could pick up a proficiency in any two combat traditions at 1st level, including the ones that an A5e Ranger can likewise become proficient in. But they can't lose their subclass any more than a 5.0 or a 5.5 Fighter could. And if someone did decide to role-play an A5e...

    D&D General What spells should be on the rangers list?

    Both are martial classes that rely on skill and training. However, both are built around different class concepts. The A5e Ranger is a wilderness survival and exploration expert. The A5e Fighter is a master of martial techniques and weapons.

    D&D General Laser Llama's Alternate Druid class

    I wonder what he would do for the species in the PHB.

    D&D General What spells should be on the rangers list?

    While the A5e Ranger doesn't have spells, it does gain proficiency with a number of combat traditions and can use combat maneuvers. Biting Zephyr, Mirror’s Glint, Rapid Current, Razor’s Edge, Spirited Steed, and Unending Wheel. Rangers recently gained the chance to be proficient in the Unerring...

    The A5e Ranger as a Green colored Fighter, a M:TG reference? ;)

    IMO, a very good homebrewer of 5e D&D. :) Check out his work. https://www.gmbinder.com/profile/laserllama

    D&D General Laser Llama's Alternate Druid class

    Laser Llama has finally created his own take on the Druid class. :) https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-OECT5L9U8gY2tf8Sdux

    D&D General What spells should be on the rangers list?

    Whereas the D&D Ranger since 1e has always had access to spellcasting. If the 5e ranger is just a little too weak, then does it really fulfill whatever Ranger fantasy some of its' fans want from it by making it into a Half-caster?

    D&D General What spells should be on the rangers list?

    Rangers also use magic weapons and armor when they find themselves in the middle of a combat situation. Most Ranger spells are utility or buff spells. They have only a couple offense spells that can aid them against a magical threat.
