Just occurred to me that there’s nothing stopping my fairy from relearning Sylvan in retirement. Something to look forward to. That assumes the rare language loss thing afflicting adventurers isn’t some sort of incurable disease/curse.

Background, Take 1 Dad: It’s too dangerous. Me: You adventured. Dad: Yes, but I always felt Lucky. Me: I’m going to be Lucky too! Dad: It’s not the same. You have to call it in advance for Titania’s sake. Me: I’ll be fine dad. As soon as I meet my party? Everyone gets a lock of my hair. Dad...

If the 2024 PHB definition of Telepathy is the same as the playtest, so long as each party knows any language, they can communicate. So the Telepathic feat will be good to have in addition to Comprehend Languages and Tongues. I’ll just need to explain in my background why my fairy can no longer...

It can also work the opposite way. If forced to take Wayfarer to get Lucky, I have to explain why my fairy has Stealth and thieves tools proficiencies. Okay. Some of my fairy’s friend were into role play, so he learned some breaking and entering techniques which included getting past locked...

In both 5 and 5.5, the default starting number of languages and tools combined is 4. 5.5 states you get 3 languages and has restrictions for those. It also allows a “tool” through the background and allows for older backgrounds not in the 2024 PHB. Arguably, one could use a customized Folk Hero...

2024 PHB: “A creature is your ally if it is a member of your adventuring party, your friend, on your side in combat, or a creature that the rules or the DM designates as your ally.” I think the RAI is that doesn’t include yourself.

I’m down with the background challenge (Entertainer wins), but my fairy should know Sylvan. It will be his unofficial third language (in addition to Common and Elvish). No official third language in protest.

Only change is you can Wish to replace a feat, but you have to risk the 1/3 chance of losing Wish.

If it was one of only six metamagics I wouldn’t take it. There’s not a single spell my sorcerer will take level 1-20 that benefits from it. I would go out of my way to select a spell that would benefit from it though if its cost per use was -5 SP.

I would only ever select and use the new twinned if it gave me back 5 SP and/or one pizza slice.

The Influence action in the playtest mentions setting a DC for charisma checks, but I’m assuming the DM could set the DC as the result of the opposed check, e.g. the opponent’s Insight check. If so, then Cutting Words can be used to subtract (ultimately) a d12 from their roll. So I believe a 17...

Wrong thread sorry.

I think Crawford referred to the warlock, wizard and sorcerer as the three arcane full casters in the sorcerer video. So I guess a mix for bard.

Just listened to the cleric video. Sounds like Greater Divine Intervention will give clerics access to Wish, and that’s it with respect to Wish. And it looks like the Wish spell rewrite will include other ways to avoid the stress (1/3 chance of losing Wish). So every class that can cast Wish...

At least the 5.0 Twinned is potentially obtainable via Wish, assuming Wish didn’t get charged too much.

It was un-errata’d for 10 years. I only use Twinned on Wish for two Clones instead of one. I’d use Subtle on every spell if I could.

Which is why we like Twinned.

WOTC probably felt bumping them from 15 to 22 spells was the major change needed.

So we’re stuck with the nerfed version of Arcane Apotheosis. My bet is the cleric’s UA capstone will stick, so they’ll be the only class that can avoid the 1/3 chance of losing Wish. However, maybe that 1/3 chance is gone for every class in the new version of Wish.

Thanks Veltharis, hope they’re okay.
