    D&D (2024) Level adjustment from 3.5 and how to handle it in 5(.5)E?

    3.5e had one solution for (over)powerful races/species to be playable to PCs and that was level ajdustmet, for those who do not know, level adjustment of +1 meant that if you were 2nd level PC with level adjustment +1 you were counted as 3rd level for gaining XP and level progression. you...

    D&D (2024) Trading out starting armor proficiencies?

    Few classes now got options to have more or less armor proficiency at 1st level. namely, Cleric and Druid. But that option should be for all)or most) clasees as many character archetypes do not require heavy or less heavy armor. Barbarian: Primal training: your pick of; 1: Medium armor 2: +1...

    D&D (2024) Emanation damage point and linked exploits:

    See, this is why playtesting should be done exclusively by "munchkins" and power-gamers! Did anyone read those spells in WotC test group? Or did they spend all time congratulating themselves for designing the best capstone ability, the Ranger's capstone, OFC.

    D&D (2024) GWM feat and ranged weapons?

    Is this intended to work? Is it an exploit due to poor wording of the feat? Is it meant to be double sub-optimal for ranged attacks? somehow "cleave" part is not intended to be in philosophy with ranged attacks, or we can describe ranged cleave as pierce? And if that feat is meant to work with...

    D&D (2024) Small rework on Dual wielder feat, with a little buff.

    Dual wielder feat is good but wording is clunky and to use it's best features requires juggling of weapons, not to say exploiting mechanics. So my version: Dual wielder: requires 15+ STR or DEX +1 STR or DEX, 1. When you wield a different 1Handed weapon in each hand, your main hand weapon...

    D&D (2024) Treantmonk's Ranger DPS video:

    "well, hack my legs off and call me shorty!" who would have thought that by chaining a class to a 1st level spell, it's damage will suck... and rangers damage is good in t1, exactly where HM can make a difference by taxing your concentration slot. Rest? that will require more...

    D&D (2024) Multiclassing as feats:

    would it be easier if multiclassing just takes your feat slots and you gain 1 or 2 levels of 2nd class every 4 levels by spending a feat. feats: Multiclass initiate: requires level 4+ +1 ASI gain 1st level features of a chosen class with current multiclass rules Multiclass adept: requires...

    D&D (2024) Should paladin's aura of protection be "normalized" a little?

    Now, I like powerful features as much as the next guy, but is this really too much and does it forces paladin little too much into max CHA build? one of the best features in the game, if not the best. why not rework it a little, remove it from CHA and give it little more utility(in radius...

    D&D (2024) Should Goodberry get improve like Cure and Healing word?

    Simple issue; Cure wounds and Healing word got double healing for 2024 and goodberry should follow if anyone will every take the spell, outside the "nourishment" part, and spell should lose that part. Low levels have few exploration troubles, hunting and foraging should remain somewhat of a...

    D&D (2024) How many combats do you have on average adventuring day.

    A simple question, in 10 years of 5E, how many combats did you have per Long rest in 5E?

    D&D (2024) How to simply fix Ranger in 2024.

    Easy, remove mandatory feature of Hunter's mark and all of its "improvements". At levels 1,13,17 and 20 ranger gets a feat slot. If that is too much then remove the +1 ASI from feats at those levels. EDIT: 2 more solutions: A; Divine Hunter: 1st level; Replace bonus HM with bonus Divine...

    D&D (2024) Would you like this variant of Graze mastery?

    Now the Graze mastery is a no brainer, but it lacks any connection to weapons used or defense skill of the target and seeking more AC from cover and/or disadvantage. New graze: when you miss your target AC by 5 or less, you deal half damage. You cannot trigger any on-hit effects like Sneak...

    D&D (2024) Post your homemade feats for 2024:

    Here is one of mine: Shield basher: requires STR 13+, proficiency with shields gain +1 STR or CON As a Bonus action you can make one shield bash attack with your equipped shield. you are proficient with this attack and it uses your STR mod if you hit deal 1d6+STR bludgeoning damage. if you...

    D&D (2024) Greatweapon fighting style? Is this another joke? Did everyone at WotC failed elementary school math classes?

    Now, we all know that GWF style was THE weakest in 2014, but not they made it even worse. That really takes effort. We know that they didn't test anything really, we have the awful: https://www.enworld.org/threads/conjure-minor-elementals.706348/ Conjure elemental cheese factory going on...

    D&D (2024) Linking number of usages of features to Ability bonus is a terrible idea.

    with few examples that was shown from various sources in last couple of days, we have seen that 2024 version is moving away from Prof bonus usages per short/long rest to Ability modifier usages per short/long rest. This will again just force minmaxing of abilities at the expense of tertiary...

    D&D (2024) What non-background feats would you allow at 1st level without theirs +1 ASI?

    There are lot's of feats in the game that could be used at 1st level and would even make more sense than getting them later. my short list: Fey touched, Shadow touched, Telekinetic, Telepathic, ALL racial feats that have +1 ASI, just remove the +1 ASI.

    D&D (2024) Ranger 2024 is a bigger joke than Ranger 2014:

    Now, most will say that 2024 ranger is better than 2014. And it is, and I will say that it is, but by how much? 2014PHB+Tasha's(and weaker version of Tasha's)+Weapon masteries. That is is. Well, at least from WotC video. Maybe whole class will be better but I doubt it. The video is mostly two...

    D&D (2024) What should be the power level or power budget of 1st level feat in 2024?

    Simple question. Should 1st level feat have more or less impact on character creation? if it's a half-feat level than people that do not want feats will be more satisfied as it will be only a single instance of feat choice in game and with that power budget it's just inflated background...
