Allow me to gesture, broadly, toward A5e. Where all the Martial Classes get combat maneuvers and exertion equal to double their proficiency bonus per short rest to spend to power their maneuvers. It's so much nicer than 2014 and 2024 to be a martial character in A5e. And it's not like you're...

The upcoming "Pets and Sidekicks" book looks like it has a leveling path for companion animals in the same way Martial Artistry has full companion classes for the Sentinel's companion... So I'm -super- excited to see how they did it, myself!

Sincerely excited about this one!

So... yeah. Martial Damage is scaled to a similar degree as Cantrips, though it ultimately favors martials. Lemme 'splain. Casters get one attack roll for up to 4d10 damage. If they use a Wand of the Warmage it has a better chance of landing and gains a +3 to damage. This means on a given...

If the flying character is doing it under their own power (Wings) then they can carry another creature based on carrying capacity. The carrier cannot do combat because their hands are occupied unless they're casting V only spells. If they're under the Fly spell, no. The spell is what's lifting...

Oh! It'll be well and truly released by then!

Wanna playtest my Gunslinger from Martial Artistry for him?

Combat Synergies. They're kinda like that.

My big thought on Chorus spells was simple: You don't have to align your turn between casters, you just have to decide to be a willing spell component. You're just like "Yup. I'm in" and it works. Same with partner.

Eh... As a designer, I'm of two minds about it. 1) Save or Suck spells have to exist in order to fulfill the mandates of the fantasy that inspires D&D and other TTRPGs. Whether it's charming, domination, paralysis, dancing, or whatever else, there's just tons of precedent for stuff that takes...

Yeah, but if you don't know or actually care about the ranks or pay attention beyond the most rudimentary understanding of apprenticeship and guild structures, Masters are right under Grandmasters! Also... Um. >.> Lanasa said he achieved the rank "Just Under" George Washington. And since the...

Gravedigger's Friend improvised weapon (shovel), uncommon, (requires attunement) While attuned to this old and well worn shovel you may use the Mold Earth and Shillelagh cantrips, though the Shillelagh cantrip can only target the shovel. When used in this way the Gravedigger's Friend is treated...

One thing of great importance to note: I didn't have a hand in designing A5e. I wasn't part of the team because I hadn't taken the plunge on writing professionally. The team that -did- create it, however, remains an absolutely fantastic group of people who did something amazing. And many do...

Between the Warcaster and the Swordmage you're gonna have some interesting gishing options. Personally I think the Swordmage is a better example of the traditional gish, where the Warcaster is a solid choice for trying something -different- in your gishing. Particularly with their ability at...

Good riddance to bad rubbish! I hope the spectre of his failure follows him for the rest of his days and he comes to understand that being a grifter playing on bigotry and hatred for an economic boost is really nonviable.

The intention, there, was to expend your focus when you activate the power or effect that requires it. For example, Suspend Animation allows you to take a "Special Reaction" when you hit 0 to expend your focus and trigger the Noetic. Though it is true that Body Manipulation requires...

I am not labeling you or other potential Fans as bullies, bigots, or trolls. That's twisting my words dramatically. I'm saying there's enough of a bully/bigot/troll market to make it profitable.

There's probably some mechanics from the Book of Vile Darkness for 3.5 you could adapt to make a 5e Archetype?
