    D&D 5E (2024) What battlemaster maneuver would you allow to be used at-will, if any, but without adding die roll to the effect of it?

    If i had to pick just one, Commander's Strike. So I can play a warlord. I wouldn't allow Riposte.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you allow flighted Player characters to carry other Player characters?

    I allow carrying at half speed, per grapple ruled. Over long distance I may apply exhaustion, but I don't like splitting the party. Also more often than not they could just fly over and tie a rope so why not. I mostly don't alow it in combat. I rule it takes 2 hands to grapple someone while...

    D&D 5E (2024) Best 5.5 Mechanic They Should Use More IMHO

    I prefer bosses get multiple turns. And thus multiple saves. Like at initiative + 10, initiative, and initiative -10.

    D&D 5E (2024) It Is 2025 And Save Or Suck Spells Still Suck (the fun out of the game)

    Well different moves would cost different amounts. Casting a spell could cost 3. Point is that there's should be more middle ground. A way to be slowed without being stopped. Also don't allow stacking control. It could be done better in 5e if things have more bonus actions. Then "take an...

    D&D 5E (2024) It Is 2025 And Save Or Suck Spells Still Suck (the fun out of the game)

    I don't like all or nothing stuff. IMO action economy needs more of a gradient. I.e. Everyone has ~5 actions, bosses can have more. Getting stunned means you lose 1-4 actions Stunned doesn't stack, just take the highest. Or maybe. Suggestions only works against creatures with less than 10 *...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    It is simpler on the casting rules if everyone uses the same word for "spells ready to cast" rather than 2 different ones. It also opens up more variations. Changing 1 spell on a long rest doesn't fit into either of the old categories.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Druid and Cleric can change all their spells every day . Wizard can change all their spells every day, but only if they have them in their book. At level 5 they can change 1 on a short rest. They can also cast Rituals out of their book. Paladin and Druid can change 1 spell per long rest...

    D&D 5E (2024) Strategies and Tactics Barbarian (2024)

    For any barbarian from 1 to 4. But always for Beserker. Level 1 to 4 Greatsword is 2d6 + rage Nick is 1d6 + 1d6 + l 2 rage =+ rage damage (+ 2d6 for Beserker) Level 5+ Greatsword is 4d6+2 rage Nick is 3d6+ 3 rage = so your down 1d6 weapon damage, but up a rage damage (+2d6 for Beserker)...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    No. Just the wording. All change on level, unless it's a subclass spell or similar. Some daily.

    Nick is a damage boost for Beserker. Maybe Zealot too (didn't calculate).

    Verbage change. But Psion is a caster, same as Bard or Sorcerer.

    D&D 5E (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    That's why I added a 1/long rest, you succeed, and it's short rest recharge. Still not claiming it to be the best for Psion. I like those for video games, but it's a bit too much to track. But "can't cast 2 turns in a row" would only require you to know what you used last round. That's could...

    Red for spell casting. Which you DO get to comment on. Liked most of the rest.

    D&D 5E (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    Fair. Hmm... To cast a spell, you need to make a DC equal to three times the spell level. Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by the spells level. (Cantrips are level 0). When you finish a Short or Long Rest, the DC resets. That's actually an interesting choice...

    D&D 5E (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    Just to toss out another, probably worse, idea. To cast a spell, you need to make a DC 5+ twice the spell level. Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by 5. When you finish a Short or Long Rest, the DC resets.

    D&D 5E (2024) Psion Class: Green/Yellow/Red?

    Nothing stops Psions from having their own timer. I.e. Once you cast a spell you can't cast it again for 1 minute.

    D&D 5E (2024) Psion Class: Green/Yellow/Red?

    Agreed, but it's much worse with points. That helps. But I'd still prefer a step more. I wouldn't want to cast 10 different spells before your could cast the first one against, but some extra anti-spam thing.
