Probably not the VTT. But it was a thought so I thought I'd toss it out. I'm still banking on it being a Mage-Group thing. There's nothing that unites the three classes beyond being Arcane, and even the Bard and Artificer share that, so... they needed something.

No, you don't. Because warlocks are casters, and, unlike martials, get thing to do outside of combat. How do you deal with a warlock spending their spell slots in a social situation? Or how about The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, an adventure noted for its ability to avoid all combats and...

Over on reddit, someone suggested the "Everything's a Spell" approach is to make it easier to implement in VTT. Not sure how true it is. Or someone thought it was a clever way to make everyone feel more "Mage Group"-y. You'll notice how mages are the first group without an unifying feature.

To be fair to y'all, you could upcast Hex at the start of the day, kill a rat, then short rest to get full spell slots back while having Hex running in the background, then go dungeon delving. So its kind of there? The real solution should be just flat out make Hex non-Concentration. Or an...

Why are you worried about lolrandom? You can just ignore those parts, they're not required and you'd be left with old sorcerer. Except for Twin Spell. You want to complain about something with the sorcerer? Complain how they utterly ruined Twin Spell. Just look at it - instead of two spells...

So... you think that its balanced for a 5th warlock to be able to cast 8 fireballs per day? That seems a little excessive to me, and probably will result in asking "why would anyone play sorcerer when they could warlock it and get more high level spells?"

Nah, I'm a fan of half caster warlock over short rest warlock. Short rest classes were never something I liked. First glance feels more warlocky than the old 2014, to be honest. And I'm a warlock fan in general. I'm liking the higher spell slot invocations. Its simple and clean and overall...

I'm of the opinion that the druid's first four major subclasses should be the following : Moon (focused on wildshape) Shepherd (focused on being a summoner) ??? (focused on being a healer, the druid equivalent of a life cleric, with elements that touch on herbalism ) Land (terrain / weather...

To be absolutely fair, that might be something they're changing in 1D&D. In 5e, it was necessary, but perhaps that will change? Or maybe there will be something for those using their unarmed/natural weaponry, and you'll have magic claw weaponry?

As long as it was a select group of animals, that is, that matched your CR access, and was relatively workable in play. Required system mastery sucks. I mean, I'd love for you to have a build-an-animal option too. But there's very good reasons why the old druid was the least played class in...

I feel like a better term for old druid shapeshifting was "annoying" - had more steps, in that you had to search databases and read through stat blocks and the like. It was close to homework.

Nah, that's not it - it has nothing to do with templates and reskinning. Its more about having to pick and choose random Beasts with each CR jump that would work. The problem is that you basically either went bear at low levels, or you absolutely sucked. Then as you went into higher levels...

Wow. Talk about quadrupling down on Wild Shape. There's, like, three things in Druid that's not revolving around that. But I have to say, I'm really enjoying the new animal work. I know a bunch of people here are all like, oh its so generic. But I'm all like, "Sweet. I can now play my drow...

Okay. But I still want Pally.mounts, ranger companions, warlock super familiars and artificer golems. This has more to do fulfilling those classes' fantasy for me, and has no bearing on the presence or absence of other classes. Especially in the core.

I say Artificer. Why? Part of what makes a half-caster a half-caster to me isn't just sword + magic. Its having a pet. Paladin mounts. Ranger companions. Warlock familiars. Artificer golems. Its my wish, my dream, that this would be expanded upon and encouraged. I would like to see us...

Spell schools has use with using detect magic while dungeon crawling. Or any otherwise magical investigations. Planes, as places to travel to and adventure, are setting locations. We have more than one official adventure set amongst the planes, and at least two settings as whole rely on them...

I'd argue it was more that Arcane was always going to cover elemental and shadow - I mean, hells. Just look at the simple subclass options wizard, warlock and sorcerer - evoker, fiend, and dragon. All renowned for blowing things up with elemental powers, especially fireballs. The 4e swordmage...

Too bad this was an abject failure of design. The only ones to use Elemental power were the Arcane classes. Wizard, sorcerer, swordmage, etc. Shadow had the assassin and vampire "classes" - and even then, assassin turned into a half-martial class - Everything else was again swallowed by the...

Arcane Gish: the Story Arcane Gish Fans: We want a gish! WotC: Hey, check out this Eldritch Knight in the core! Or the Blade warlock! AGF: No! that's not what we want! Not enough spells to do anything on their own! WotC: Okay, okay... Umm... Here's Hexblade and Bladesinger! AGF: NO. We...

Why would summoning a Pegasus matter? I mean, its a flying mount, but we've got the Fly spell going on already, so its already a concern...
