The primary complaint I see for martials and casters is the power disparity. "I hit four times" versus "I cast wish," that kind of thing. This Fighter can add battle dice to ability checks at level 2, an ability which applies out of combat as well. I suppose I could add more utility. I made my...

Classic Gladiator stuff?

Seeing all the talk about bringing Fighters up to snuff with casters got me thinkin'. So I whipped up a Revised Fighter, using mostly elements we already have from UA 7, and a few high-level abilities I invented. I haven't done the math, but I think it puts it up to snuff with casters. (Meaning...

I collect them, and I agree

Most people seem to be disappointed by backgrounds, but it appears to me that backgrounds have been getting more oomph in their design, to the point where it comes with almost as many goodies as species choice.

I feel this thread has gone a bit off the rails

It's a shame you can't get on board with it. But I guess that tracks.

Yes. Same as usual.

I would love for a big monster book to come out with all the Monstrous Compendiums we've had so far plus other hitherto online-only monsters

The 90s were a time of hope; of relative social, economic, and political stability. The fantasy of the time was grim and gritty. Now, the real world is grim and gritty. In a game where we can simulate anything, we young'ns don't want to simulate hopelessness, extreme inequality, crumbling...

I mentioned this in an earlier post about "more flavorful wizard subclasses," but I think it would be really cool to focus on fields of study outside the schools of magic, maybe using the INT skills as a starting point. A Magizoologist, with extra proficiencies and abilities regarding magical...

I'm overall happy. There's a few glaring omissions theme-wise, but they seem backwards compatible enough for the time being. I'll be looking forward to a reworked Inquisitive Rogue (please just call it Detective) with all the cool new Rogue stuff. I think we'll get a splatbook "Tasha Presents"...

Honestly we are due for an Undead themed book. Abi Dalzim Presents: Scourge of the Undead. Or something

One of my players is playing a Satyr Fey Wanderer in a Witchlight game. Maximun fey. A ton of fun.

Yes! I hadn't thought of that

I dig this phrase

I noticed that the subclasses choices for Spellcasters in the 2024 PHB follow certain patterns and themes, and that may explain some of the odd choices. Druid is obvious: Land, Sea, Moon, and Stars. Clockwork Soul sorcery is the counterpoint to Wild Magic sorcery--chaos and order (probably why...

Here's my house rule: Any activity that is not combat, dungeon-crawling, concentrating on a spell, strenuous physical activity, or trekking through a harsh climate or difficult terrain can count as a short rest. (So no need to stop and sit down. Carousing or just walking or riding to a place...
