I think this is also the way character sheets should be organized. With so many options it's very useful to be able to narrow them down to what you can do as an action, reaction, bonus action or free. Others could be classified as "journey" or "downtime"

Interesting points. I think all this also depends how much a group is leaning towards the sci part or the fi/fantasy part. Assuming a relatively sci inclined group, there could be a couple of other things to consider that may make some points less moot 1) Travelling at lightspeed or more...

By definition median means that 50% of the population will have a score higher than 4 and the other 50% lower than 4. If instead of median you mean that 4 is the mode of the distribution, then this means that 4 is the most common score (not 4 or higher, but exactly 4), which is probably what you...

The other thing you could do is to give "legendary NPCs" some unique exploit that boosts their skill to the moon on some occasions. For instance, Einstein could have some exploit that turns every dice of his physics skill into an exploding dice, or such that each die counts at least as a 4

If it's just a matter of perspective (i.e. how goods character of a certain grade are wrt the "standard" population), wouldn't it be much simpler to increase the threshold of peak human prowess? For instance, you could say that Einstein would have a LOG score of 15 or even 21, and similarly for...

I guess it was done this way to have control on the number of blasts you can have in a round: if you could turn any melee attack into an EB, you may have situations where thanks to multiclassing and maneuvers you could end up with way more than 4 EBs (eg with Heightened Reflexes one could...

More than Adamantine Protector it should be called Humanoid Catapult!

These things really make me thing that locking feats at specific class levels instead of character levels make the system so fiddly

It's all correct, I was explaining a way for you to get that 2nd level spell slot with a 4/4 herald/fighter. When you multiclass, your spellcasting progression follows the multiclass spellcasting progression if more than one class has the spellcasting feature...

Well since you're multiclassing you could be using the multiclass spellcasting progression. Heralds are half casters, so 4 levels count as 2 for spellcasting. Fighter normally doesn't count for spellcasting progression, however if you chose a subclass that gave you the spellcasting feature, it...

In general I'm not particularly fond of the warlock, but LU's version is a significant improvement over o5e. Yet the wording of these features could be clearer if they just decided that Eldritch Blast was its own action. This way there's no confusion, you either use it and it scales, or you use...

Yes, with the provision that there is only one combination: 1 scythe and the rest is normal attacks. See, the scythe substitutes a melee attack for an attack with the scythe. The Eldritch Scythe feature says you can do so once per turn, so it transforms your (only, at level 1) attack into a...

To me it's quite clear: you have 1 melee attack thirsting blade allows you to make 2 melee attacks with the pact weapon on your attack action you can swap 1 melee attack for a scythe attack once you have Extra Blast you can use scythe more than once per turn, but only if you didn't make melee...

The initial point was about Thirsting Blade and whether it scaled well at higher levels. Extra blast counts as having extra attack for the purpose of qualifying to feats, etc, but it specifies that it only allows you to make multiple blast attacks. Thirsting blade specifies that you can attack...

This was a suggestion for a rare version of the spell, it's not supposed to be in the hands of every wizard. Disadvantage on next attack seems stronger to me

What about "creatures that hit you with a melee attack while this spell is active must save vs Con or become rattled until the start of their next turn"? The AC bonus doesn't increase over the base spell, but there's a useful side effect in case the spell doesn't protect you. The effect is quite...

I was initially surprised (not in a favorable way) by its removal, but I have to say that it really was for the best. Action Surge is not iconic at all IMO, it was introduced in 5e and is popular only for the crazy broken combos it allowed, so I'm happy it's gone. And for anyone who wants it...

Yes, plus the DC should still come from the creature's power. Of course if you can upcast its power is still related to your own power, but using your own DC would be weird IMO. Imagine summoning a demon, and creatures have to save against its powers but using your own spellcasting DC because...

Yes, as written there's a hole IMO. It doesn't make sense for you to roll a save against your own DC. Since you're acting against the spirit's will it would make more sense to roll against some DC depending on it's proficiency and probably Cha mod. I'd guess such a creature could have between...

I don't see it different from the ranger being able to change their favorite terrain, or the herald changing what creatures it can perceive with divine sense, etc etc. And I wouldn't see this as someone who dedicated their life to perfect anything (it's a first level feature!), but much closer...
