    D&D (2024) What's the best way to build a bladelock now?

    I can see both option as viable. Fighter dip, high str, heavy armor, weapon masteries. Possibly even two weapon fighting and using hex. Should feel a bit like a ranger. At level 4, yoi take dual weapon fighting and also have 3 attacks most of the time. At level 8, taking defensive duellist...

    D&D (2024) Just realized Sentinel is heavily nerfed! No longer works with PAM, no longer works on most enemies who Disengage.

    They probably renamed feeblemind for sensitive issues. I think people should just use tge version they like. 2024, 2014, LUp, ToV. All compatible but slightly different versions. And if you don'r find any version you like there, just make up a house rule. 2024 is by far not perfect. And...

    D&D (2024) It Is 2025 And Save Or Suck Spells Still Suck (the fun out of the game)

    Of course it is 'fair'. But no fun. At least for me. Instead of being slaves to unfun rules as written, and using exploits against each other to keep some kimd of balance, just change rules you don't find fun. Which is what this thread is about. A fight anticlimatically ended by just a single...

    D&D (2024) It Is 2025 And Save Or Suck Spells Still Suck (the fun out of the game)

    No. You are the DM. Talk it through with your players. Tell them the spell sucks and you won't play it that way or you need to do what you suggest: use it as a DM. And just always add extra enemies, specifically with those spells prepared... No one wants an arms race either. So the option is...

    D&D (2024) It Is 2025 And Save Or Suck Spells Still Suck (the fun out of the game)

    Suggestion was reverted to 2014 by group consens. Tasha has a save every round as it should have. The problem spell was suggestion here. My suggestion: all spells need to have a save every turn. There might be a few exceptions: Some spells might have a 3 step resolution: fail 3 saves for...

    D&D (2024) Using general Feats when your ability is already 20

    Our best armored character (cleric level 4, AC 22, up to 24 using a reaction) just stole the spotlight by being hit with a 19, 14 damage (with a d10 weapon) and a crit for 23 damage. So yeah, although she will probably won't have that happen to her in the long run, she now has a run of going...

    D&D (2024) Using general Feats when your ability is already 20

    Looking at the highest relative increase is dangerous. If you increase your hit chance from 5% to 10%, you have a relatice increase between 50% (only damage dice) and 100% (only static damage or being a champion). That means you go from sucking to sucking a bit less. If you have 4 attacks or...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    I really like the Psion as presented. Feels like a great class.

    D&D (2024) Chance for a warlord?

    Actually I do like it a bit. I mixed it up with the class created before which had a tactical focus area or something like that. How was that called?

    D&D (2024) Chance for a warlord?

    Because a champion is a pure fighter. An eldritch knight is a wizard light. Uses the spell subsystem. A psi warrior, if the Psion gets through as is, will be a psion light using the psi dice subsystem. For symmetry reasons, a battlemaster should be a warlord light, using the same subsystem as...

    D&D (2024) Chance for a warlord?

    Sorry. No verb. An adjective ("more" presumably. Could also be "less") . My bad.

    D&D (2024) Chance for a warlord?

    You miss a verb. I also heavily dislike that kind of marketing. If you feel that is a point, there is no point at all.

    D&D (2024) Chance for a warlord?

    Not bad. Instead of stratagems I would wish battlemaster combat maneuvers. No need for another subsystem (rally is already a copy from the battlemaster).

    D&D (2024) Chance for a warlord?

    Yes. And I think the warlord should get those maneuvers. And a little less fighting prowess themselves. Maybe no fighting style (leading style instead), different subclass. No action surge or second wind and so on. There is a lot of room there.

    D&D (2024) Chance for a warlord?

    I think I can build a cleric replacement as a battle master already... Or as a warrior of mercy monk. Every 4e class had powers in the same manner as a spellcaster... So how is that a no-go?

    D&D (2024) Chance for a warlord?

    I am not sure about that. Lets say 50-50. I agree. The bard now even lost rapier proficiency. Actually that helps the str bard a bit, as now the best finesse weapon is the dagger... And +1 on every later feat will make you think about having 17 cha at character creation to get to 18 cha at...

    I did not shoot him, for sure.

    D&D (2024) Not a fan of the new Eldritch Knight

    In 25% of the combat. So it is less than a 10% boost. There are other ways to boost performance by 10%.

    D&D (2024) Chance for a warlord?

    I do like the battlemaster as a warlord substitute. But at some point I asked, if I wanted a class that is more adept in battle master maneuvers. And since we get a full psi dice mechanic using class, I think it is time to at least try a class based around battle master superiority dice. I want...
