    D&D (2024) Learning to Love the Background System

    I'm done with this community. Every self proclaimed "expert and veteran" is just a crybaby who wants everything to appeal to their own min maxing garbage. If you're so dissatisfied, go make your own game and make it the way YOU think it should be. See how well you do. And no, you don't get...

    D&D (2024) Learning to Love the Background System

    But that's the way everyone played them. If you have Standard Array, every class put their 15 and 14 in the same stat, with the 13 going to Con, and the rest just deciding which stat you wanted a negative in. People who know how to make characters will ignore the new table, and those who are...

    I’m sorry. I was just pointing out that you can, indeed, have a devout religious character with the Criminal Background.

    D&D (2024) Learning to Love the Background System

    Then take the Artisan background, and say you were a monk in a monastery who worked as a carpenter. Or the Guide Background, and say you were a traveling minister. These backgrounds have plenty of leeway in design. Looking at Acolyte and thinking "Every single person who is devout is an...

    D&D (2024) Learning to Love the Background System

    There are a lot of religions (though as I say that, it's mainly Christianity) which are literally illegal in certain places in the world, and open worship can get your head cut off. This is a complete oxymoron, and the main problem I see when people talk about this. They say "I don't want to...

    D&D (2024) Two Weapon Fighting and Nick article

    I guess I haven't commented on the weapon swapping part of this. Yeah, a buddy of mine figured out how that works a while back. Having a longsword, scimitar and short sword, swapping things out to make sure you got two extra attacks instead of one. And with a Fighter having access to so...

    D&D (2024) Two Weapon Fighting and Nick article

    I played a Sea Elf Eldritch Knight play testing the new Eldritch Knight last fall. He bonded a Trident, so he could summon it back to his hand as a bonus action after throwing it, getting two throws in the first round while he closed the distance between him and his targets for the second...

    D&D (2024) Two Weapon Fighting and Nick article

    But that's not what you said. What you said was it's not that powerful, PC's will forget about them by mid to high levels, and not having them shouldn't make much of a difference. Which Is what I disagree with. It is an extremely significant upgrade. Also no. one else played a class that...

    D&D (2024) Two Weapon Fighting and Nick article

    I disagree. Vehimently. I play tested the new Fighter with Masteries last fall, and no one else in the group used them. I was, consistently, overshadowing the other players in damage and survivability. Being able to knock down anyone you hit, every time you hit, or granting yourself...

    Not sure what you're asking. If you don't want to add extra affects, you don't have to. In the case we're talking about, it has to do with the Light Property. The Light Property allows you to make an off hand attack as a bonus action if you are wielding two Light weapons. So, a lvl 5...

    D&D (2024) Two Weapon Fighting and Nick article

    You'd get 3. Two from your attack action with extra attack, one with your offhand weapon from Light and Nick. If you also had the Dual Wielder Feat, you could then make a FOURTH attack as a bonus action. However, you're a Monk, so you don't need that. You can already make a buffed unarmed...

    The text I posted above was from the playtest. That part was removed.

    D&D (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Warlock"

    Looks like Warlock got their third attack, but it is a second Invocation to get, which I'm ok with. Lifedrinker has been nerfed to once per turn, which I'm also ok with. I, for one, will be less inclined to get Life Drinker. Or, more likely, to trade Life Drinker for Devouring Strike (third...

    This is how I would interpret it, yes.

    D&D (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Warlock"

    Yeah, it does. You create a weapon or create a bond with a magic weapon.

    D&D (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Sorcerer"

    Yeah, you can make a decent Sorcerer that has NO damage spells. Of course I say that and that actually would depend on the spell list as a whole. But I know you can make a very powerful Control Wizard without a single damage spell. And whatever the Wizard can do, the Sorcerer can now do it...

    D&D (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Sorcerer"

    There's nothing that inherently forces you to be a blaster caster. Yes, you get advantage on Firebold (and Scorching Ray, and Disintegrate, and...), but you ALSO gain +1 to all Save DC's. That makes every spell type harder to resist. So you could be a fantastic Mind Mage or Enchanter.

    D&D (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Warlock"

    it is true, though. Wizards are the only class with a built in money sink. Every other class needs a good bit for equipment (plate, etc), but wizards need money all the way through to buy spells.

    Yeah. Far be it from casters to not be godlike and dominant in nearly every situation. How dare they!
