Sure. Or not. Depends entirely on your definition of a Wizard and what they're capable of. For you, it's everything. For me? Not so much. And definitely not in the same way.

I was thinking the Sorcerer should use Spell Points and have the ability to sacrifice hit dice to recover spell points, directly, instead of hit points, actually. To represent the "Body Fuel" aspect a lot of characters go for. Which would reward Sorcerers with high Charisma and Constitution and...

... so... coldest hot take on record 'cause I've made it evident, before: I hate that the caster classes have been homogenized to the degree that they have. Sorcerers and Wizards should have different spell lists. Some overlap, sure. But largely distinct. With Wizards getting lots of extra...

What verb did I miss?

While I can see that could be a problem, you'll never know if that specific content would be allowed until you ask your DM. "Hey, I know we're doing 5e, but I'm really wanting to do a warlord. This Marshal class is pretty close and I think it might work and be balanced. Would you mind taking a...

It's not in the 2024 PHB... But it's in 2024 until they release a new version that supercedes the old one. Same for alllll the other spells that have been written. Heritages, Feats, Etc.

Yes and no... Birthright would be a amazing setting for the Warlord/Marshal. But also: Adding a class to a book that is otherwise largely DM-Exclusive in it's design encourages players to buy it, expanding the target audience for that book which increases sales beyond just the DMs who aren't...

Why not both? A5e has the Marshal which is a Warlord, and Martial Artistry's second stretch goal is the Swordmage. Win-Win!

I don't disagree with your assessment... but I'm literally just one person spinning wheels in my head on my own. Surely a collective of people could spin wheels better. I got a lot of feedback from the 3pp community to make things better than the first draft, after all. They'd have that -and-...

https://a5e.tools/rules/marshal A5e already has it and better deserves your money than WotC!

Oh, to be clear: Screw that section of text with a backhoe. I don't actually hold that BS in any of my games regardless of what setting I'm using. It's irrelevant and ridiculous, to me, to try and declare a defacto structure that applies to all campaign settings in the multiverse. However...

After our previous arguments and the way they've gone down, where you often provide no argument or position -except- to try and argue that I and others are wrong, it truly feels like it's an almost automatic response. It took me four posts of asking you to actually take a position of your own...

I can see that, sure. It feeling like a workaround for Defiling and Preserving does make sense... but Defiling was meant to be the easy path to power in the setting. You got a shorter XP table if you were a defiler as a reward for embracing evil and would level up as a Wizard faster than if you...

Not really. With you it's been a continuing problem that has caused arguments through your dismissive attitude. With him it's just not that kind of relationship, yet. He may get there. He might not. But everyone gets some chances before I put my foot down. You've just already run through...

... I don't think you grasp the point I'm making. The Martials in question move and attack and do so in manners specific to them, with unique mechanics to make them moving and attacking different from each other, whether tactically or in the sheer quantity of their attacks. They are designed...

You must've hated the Clerics and Druids back in 2e that also ignored Preserving and Defiling, then, too, I guess?

Yes. You explicitly are. I stated as much. I was explicit the entire time that I was referring to the differentiation of Martial characters being well represented in their gameplay mechanics while for Spellcasters (And specifically the Psion, Sorcerer, and Wizard) it wasn't really different at...
