Huh... yeah? That reminds me of Monte Cook's old Bard Revamp in the 3e era. It was in "Book of Eldritch Might 2: Songs and Souls of Power". Instead of having strict spells of different levels, you had notes, chords, and melodies. Notes could be cast as a move action, chords were standard...

It's 2am and I can't sleep so have bardthoughts. Bards are supposed to be the 5th man. In 5e, they're a spellcaster who can do social stuff, some broad skill applicability, and give someone enough of a bonus to do one thing really well in the moment. But 9 times out of 10 they're just going to...

So... Guns are kinda "Whatever", ultimately. In reality, guns essentially (but not entirely) negated armor outside of very thick and heavily curved plates, which is why we imagine conquistadors wearing the breastplate and helmet that we do. They were meant to cause pistol and rifle balls to...

"I make a Loremaster Bard and take the All Weapons and Armor Function" is probably not a great narrative-supporting option, is my point. Leaving the armors and weapon variety in the colleges makes more sense to me. So that if you make a Skald, it's a core part of your Skald training, rather...

I like some stuff here, but I don't feel like they need all weapons and armor to feel like Bards. 1) Bonus Action Economy at level 1. Call it something like "Dry Wit" and give them the ability to Help within 30ft with a Verbal component or cast Vicious Mockery on a given turn. This replaces...

Max has a really solid idea, there. Another way to do it? Flesh out the Patron. Sit down with your Player/DM and figure out who your patron is, what they want, how you'll get it for them. Decide how the relationship is between Warlock and Patron. Is the relationship purely transactional with...

Lemme make a claaaaaass! People'd love it!

6-7hp means that anything near average damage for weapon swing (1d8+Mods) is going to take down a minion in one swing. Especially if the weapon is enchanted. However, it also ensures that if they are hit by a hard hitting enough spell (say, an 8d6 Fireball) they're going to drop whether they...

It is, definitely, a cost. Too much of one... wibble wobbles hand It does seem too high for what you want, though, which is totally understandable. Personally I like it because the Cunning Action improvement of any Rogue Archetype is, essentially, a ribbon feature alongside their main option...

Easy answer: Just give them an archetype that lets them ditch bonus action Disengage for bonus action Teleport limited to their speed. So if you use Boots of Striding and Springing or take the Dash action you can extend your teleport distance. Functionally it's practically the same thing. You...

I can tell you that neither of those classes are in the Secrets of the Tome. But I do have them in my back pocket. I'm also not -on- Secrets of the Tome. But I have thrown my hat in the ring and am hopeful. Hence the "Nothing... Yet" comment.

Nothing... YET.

Yeah, even did a whole video on his facebook page about the 'cultural importance' of the old ironworks that he gutted for his museum. He sold or destroyed all the culturally important stuff and thinks the building itself should count.

Big continent, points of light, urban sprawl. World-hopping is kind of "Whatever" to me. Yeah it makes the fantasy "Bigger" but you can do world-hopping levels of variety of environments/enemies without bothering with portal magic. An Archipelago makes for a solid stand in for world-hopping...

So. coming in way late: The circus troupe happens because if you have a menu with 20 items on it and 5 people ordering you're unlikely to see multiple people pick the same item (unless it's particularly tasty) and there's just going to be menu items people don't pick. D&D has over 70 options...
