I agree with this. As far as being disfunctional, I am a big believer in you be you. I am not going to tell you how to play your character as long as you are not destructive or antisocial. It is no skin off my back if he wants a new character.

Yes and they felt creating a new character would be more fun for them at the table, and I believe it was. It is oversimplifying it because it had to do with their entire character design and their intended role in the party, not only the magic +1 weapon. Also it is more than a 5% difference...

Ok fine, then you admit WOTC doesn't know how to do backgrounds because many of the ASIs are not tied thematically to the backgrounds. No they don't. The abilities I mentioned don't make as much sense as other abilities. You even used the Guard as an example and YOU even said one of the ASIs...

And your opinion does not represent most players either. I said I don't think this works for most players. Maybe I am right, maybe I am wrong. It does not work for most players I play with and does not seem to work for most on this thread. They don't represent millions, but then neither do...

You are not answering me, why do they need to be there at all? I also don't think it is a minority that want them open. This was the same exact thing we heard about racial bonuses and the majority certainly wanted to be free from those limits. No they don't! As I noted earlier there is...

Well mechanics are not all that matter. Some things besides mechanics matter to some people. Also why even have a restriction if there is no mechanical significance? If something is gamebreaking mechanically, that is a good reason to consider rules to curtail it, but this has very little...

I am against both. I would think most people against species ASIs are also against background ASIs.

The Undying Warlock has not been redone and I don't think it will be redone. That is my favorite Warlock in tier 1 and tier 2 play, so for me SCAG is a keeper. Most of the games I play the SCAG races are not available since they are superceded by 2024. I do think the SCAG half elves and...

Well that is the way the mechanics are and there are always tradeoffs. Moreover this too is not unique to multiclassing. Moreover when it comes to multiclassing for concept, the ability score minimums are really the biggest impediment to that, especially with Rangers and Paladins, not the...

The adventuring elite NPCs in my games are not really class-driven so I don't see that aspect.

There are some players that decide level by level and there are others that have the whole thing mapped out and there are many in between. I don't have a problem with any of this as a DM or as a player. However some players do have a problem with this as many players look for a group to have a...

I don't think that will fly with the modern player base, especially since you indicated casters are getting fewer feats as well.

There needs to be a method for a full caster to get extra attack on a nearly equal basis with non-casters. Bladelocks, Valor Bards and Bladesingers are extremely popular.

But that exists whether or not you multiclass. Multiclassing just puts more options on the table. Also though if you notice I said "with planning" it can be "generally better in terms of power." Without planning it won't be generally better and will often be much worse. I find that many...

I don't think it does "work" for most players. Certainly most of the people on this thread seem to be against it, as are virtually everyone I play with both as a DM and a player. So two players who I DMed for who disagree with your position on this must be 14-year olds? You asked a specific...

It might mean "next to nothing" statistically, but that does not mean it means "next to nothing" in play. There are all kinds of things that mean nothing at all statistically (actually nothing), but still mean a lot to players in play. My Rogue/Warlock I am playing right now has purple skin...

So you admit it does mean something then. "Not much" is still something and that is enough said IMO. To be brutally honest yes, I have players claim they felt worthless in play because of the magic weapons other members of the party found. Most often it is due to the Feats they take, most...

You are falling into the trap of thinking that just because a +1 does not cross your arbitrary threshold for statistical relevance, that it does not mean something to the player. Even if the +1 never, ever matters in an entire campaign, it still matters to player when they are creating the...

I do not find DND Beyond character sheets to be very good. They are extremely hard to navigate, have all kinds of math errors and they are very difficult to edit and fix. Take even a basic thing like Agonizing Truestrike - something basic right from the PHB and no way to get it on the...

I don't see this as an issue in play, especially if you are a fighter as you get a bunch of weapon masteries and at level 9 the ability to use ones other than the one for that weapon. More often than not I have more masteries than I have weapons when playing a fighter. The limited number can...
