    D&D 5E (2024) Class Iconic Art in the 2024 Player's Handbook

    Genasi, Tiefling, Aasimar, Glitchling, and Plasmoid are sort of the quintet of Planetouched. Goliath and Dragonborn are definitely representing for each of the most iconic monster classes of the game.

    D&D General Should ranger get a companion as its 'signature' feature?

    See, I'm not sure I'd see a Horizon Walker as eschewing nature so much as expanding it to the cosmos. Similarly, the Monster Slayer may be Van Hellsing in character, but is more so like the smiter of the unnatural undead and demons and lycanthropes and witches etc. I think even Blue-Red or...

    D&D 5E (2024) Which subclasses “should” have been in 2024

    I think they should have given us a fifth subclass for each and included the Artificer and its 4 subclasses alongside a brand new one. Artificer – something akin to Exploring Eberron's Forge Adept. Barbarian - Path of the Storm Herald. Bard - College of Eloquence. Cleric - Knowledge Domain...

    D&D General Should ranger get a companion as its 'signature' feature?

    This is the fundamental conflict between Rangers and Druids. Druids are Green-centered, and just as likely to be Green-Red or Green-Black as they are to be Green-White or Green-Blue. Rangers are fundamentally Green-White, even leaning White-Blue at times.

    D&D 5E (2024) Which subclasses “should” have been in 2024

    Probably Spirits over Whispers. I like the Ranger Monster Slayer choice here – they're the one HUNTING the other Monsters. Monk would need heavy revisions to Long Death, and it's more of a campaign setting monastic tradition… I'd love a proper shadowy Fighter subclass. Eberron's Bone Knight?

    D&D 5E (2024) What is the 2024 Bard Power Source?

    As a verifiable Ranger/Bard Gestalt/Hybrid/Multiclasser, I can confirm this truth XD

    D&D 5E (2014) Your Money Or Your Life

    Really Old Man? Weren't you the same sprite that gave me a wooden sword because you said it was dangerous to go alone? And you even gave me money before saying It's a secret to everybody! Now you're robbing me?

    D&D 5E (2014) What's an overpowered sorcerer build?

    Divine Soul? Celestial is a Warlock pact.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Bard"

    Agreed, but WotC has apparently decided that Fighting Styles are not worth half a feat anymore.

    D&D General Should ranger get a companion as its 'signature' feature?

    It's a very common tale, but it's not the predominant Ranger story. It's maybe 1/3 of Ranger stories…

    D&D 5E (2024) More Dragon Redesign Clues

    I've been getting mixed messages when I'm on the site and in articles. The check out section for the digital bundle says it but then articles say only the physical+digital. I want you to be right, very much so! I want that artbook, but not so much that I'm buying a fourth physical trio of 5e...

    D&D 5E (2024) What is the 2024 Bard Power Source?

    So, Primal? Arcane? Divine?

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Bard"

    Maybe a spot for a feat choice?

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Bard"

    Frostbite, Lightning Lure, Ray of Frost, Gust, Mold Earth, Thorn Whip, True Strike, Blade Ward, or Booming Blade would all be decent options if available.

    D&D 5E (2024) Class Iconic Art in the 2024 Player's Handbook

    I lean Genasi into their Genie origins a bit more. Storm Genasi and the Abyssal and Dark Sun Genasi were cool too, but I think it becomes complicated when you want to express so many different human+elemental species as player options (and make Giants specifically elemental as D&D does).

    D&D 5E (2024) More Dragon Redesign Clues

    The site is nebulous on that. Some pages say it's for both bundles, others that it's ONLY for the digital+physical bundle. The videos promote the d+p bundle presumably because they really want to edge out the middle-man and sell direct to consumer, at least for the standard covers. As someone...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Bard"

    I guess in that regards the College of Swords is a very specific call back to the knife-eating performer, the Blade kit of 2e. College of Valour is the Bardic Warlord.

    D&D 5E (2024) What is the 2024 Bard Power Source?

    So, Primal Power Source?

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Bard"

    My issue with that is that it pigeon-holes College of Valour into Sword-Bard. Bow is a very viable Valour option, as are other weapons. It's a broader concept.
