    D&D 5E (2024) So, what does the Artificer "replace"?

    personally i prefer the half-level/proficiency method as it's more of a gradual increase rather than the bump happening all at once once you reach a threshold.

    D&D 5E (2024) So, what does the Artificer "replace"?

    because after adventuring for a bit you'll just end up picking up some things, it'd probably be statistically impossible NOT to, from watching and listening to your fellow party members, from chats with shopkeepers and bartenders, from practical experience, i'm sure you have an amount of bits of...

    D&D 5E (2024) So, what does the Artificer "replace"?

    i'm not talking about treadmill, i'm talking about characters becoming at least moderately competent in the areas outside of their field of expertise, the ceiling isn't raising for anyone but their floors are. 5e doesn't provide enough ASI for people to waste bumping their non-core stats, this...

    D&D 5E (2024) So, what does the Artificer "replace"?

    bounded accuracy is good and all but i don't think the 1/2 level bonus is something to get rid of either, one of the criticisms against 5e i think has merit is that a 20th level character likely still has exactly the same bonuses to their non-primary skills and saves as they did at 1st level, i...

    D&D General How Did You Generate Your Most Recent Character's Stats?

    sure, i'm just considering that there feels like a difference for considering poll results between accepting true random rolled stat generation for your character and wanting good 'randomly generated' rolls

    D&D General How Did You Generate Your Most Recent Character's Stats?

    i wonder for out of the people who voted 'rolled' how many of them are 'i'll roll and accept it if i get bad results' VS 'i'll roll until i get results i'm satisfied using'

    D&D 5E (2024) So, what does the Artificer "replace"?

    personally IMO for a book a year this is pushing out FAR too much and would end up with a ton of filler and rushed content. i would personally go for the expectation of, if a book a year: -1 new class with 4-6 subclasses (for the first few years). ~5 to 8 new subclasses or alternate class...

    D&D General You Were Rolling Up a New Character, and Just Rolled a 3. What Is Your Reaction?

    Expedite the foregone conclusion and start rolling up a new array immediately.

    D&D General How do you navigate the forums?

    i basically just have DnD forum open permanently in a tab, i also visit TTRPGs general when i don't forget it exists, so 4 i guess. somewhat tangentially i just noticed, have they moved/changed the option to change the default number of posts per page? i usually have it at 20 but i'm getting 10...

    D&D General You Were Rolling Up a New Character, and Just Rolled a 3. What Is Your Reaction?

    suggestion for "i'd rather NOT have this on my character but i guess i'll deal" as a poll option

    D&D General You Were Rolling Up a New Character, and Just Rolled a 3. What Is Your Reaction?

    "who the hell managed to convince me to use rolled stats?" (i did read the OP first but still voting for i don't use rolled)

    D&D General What You're Missing with Torches in B/X D&D

    i think the thing is you have to have exploration mechanics and world design that are interesting and engaging and not just 'you travel for three days to get to your destination, mark off provisions and now i'm going to roll to check for random encounters on the way' there needs to be things out...

    D&D General What You're Missing with Torches in B/X D&D

    Correct me if I’m wrong but weren’t lanterns expensive? Or at least not basic starting gear, so while practically lanterns are a superior choice in most circumstances (well, swinging your lantern at a foe is more likely to break it than harm them) most everybody had to go through the torches...

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes

    because that's an entirely null argument to change the imbalance between the two, everything a fighter player can come up with to narrativity influence things, well guess what? the caster can come up with and do exactly all of the same narrative influence and then have spells on top of that...

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes

    not to mention, when resolving improvised spell uses magic tends to be given far more rope on what it can be used to achieve by GMs purely because 'it's magic' and magic can do anything because it's magic (circular reasoning goes brrrrrr) whereas martial improvised actions are burdened by the...

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes

    i think it's because it's not about doing more damage, yes, martials have decent damage numbers, BUT, the casters don't really trail that far behind them in damage and have absolute masses of versatility options, rogues, barbs and monks do tend to have a handful of abilities that let them do...
