The problem i see is that those crazy weapon swaps slow down the game. Each time you switch weapons, you have to recalculate your attack bonus (based on on, str or dex, fighting style, mastery, feats, magical bonus) and damage (ditto). That's a lot of work to do on the fly. If a fighter goes...

I'm pretty sure that was a Jackie Chan routine.

Then again, I find the micromanaging of resources boring in a TTRPG. Tracking rations, arrows, or potions is the most boring part of RPGs and something video games are far better at than human DMs. That's a me thing though.

It happens when the player does not assume they will have a steady stream of replacements. If you have a steady source of income, you are willing to spend money on things. If you don't, you hoard your money and only spend on absolute necessity. The same is true in game of magic. If magic...

"Also: vampires were always a problem." - Van Richten

I'm using the Elder Scrolls argument: different strains of vampirism affect different types of creatures.

That ruins the whole point of dark gifts. They can happen to anyone and at anytime. They aren't tied to a profession or lifestyle. They can happen from tragedy, circumstance, or favors from the Dark Powers or their minions of darkness. They aren't tied to level, you aquire one when the story...

It's been a hot minute since I've read Theros. Which ones are bad? I recall the one that pretty much makes you a warforged and the oracle one.

"Did you like Pathfinder but wish they made a 5e clone instead of PF2e? Try TotV".

It's usually a trade down. You can take a feat with a warlock invocation, but I would not let someone take any warlock invocation with just a feat (the Tasha feat that does limits you to a very small selection and 2024 limits this even further). Divine Gifts are strictly better than feats, so...

The power level is higher than an origin feat, but at the cost of a drawback. They are more like 1.75x a feat plus a .5 drawback. You edge out just slightly ahead, depending on the gift. More importantly is you can have a dark gift and an origin feat. And origin feats are usually tied to...

Source? Dark Gifts aren't feats and are quite a bit more powerful. I assume they will be new feats.

Lorwyn is planar but they are linking it via the Moonshaes. It's as linked to Faerun as Barovia was due to Curse of Strahd. The 80s kids have been setting jumping for a bit. Technically they left the cartoon Realm (not that it has much development anyway) and they are chilling in the Sword...

Yup forgot about that one being retrofitted into a Domain of Delight. Still, considering how main Domains of Dread there are, the feywid could use a lot more love.

I run them akin to Hiltons: clean, reliable, and with a certain corporate charm. Then again, I tend to run a lot of the Houseworks as that: reliable, dependable, and a bit boring. Orien rails get you where you need to go, but the scenery never changes. Jorasco hospitals will patch you up and...

I'm still not 100% we're getting a "... of everything" book and not a two more focused supplements (a horror/Ravenloft/undead book and a magic/arcane book). That said, we absolutely could use more love for primal classes.

It practically is in all but name, except for the pesky issue of who the Dark Lord would be... (That said, the last sets had diminishing returns. They've done three different blocks there at this point (roughly seven sets) and I think they are a little tapped out [heh] on ideas for it).

I like the twilight cleric. I'd like a version that isn't overpowered. They can rework-nerf that one if they like.

How many feywild domains can you name in D&D? Off the top of my head, there is the Summer Court, The frost one from 4e, and Prismeer from WBtW. What they did was take an already developed concept (Lorwyn/Shadowmoor) and add it to the Feywild as a new domain. It has nominal ties to Forgotten...

That's great when you are in your local neighborhood, but if you were traveling and had to stop for food, do you trust some random diner or McDonald's? McDonald's might not be top tier, but the menu and pricing is fairly consistent across the country and you know what they are going to offer...
