I'm so happy that sanity prevailed and Spell Versatility as we knew it from the UA is dead as Dillinger in Tasha's. I'd have been OK with it on the Ranger, but that's only because the Ranger should've just been a prepared caster, anyway. But the full casters who stood to get it? Nope. No...

Well, the Tasha's preview is out, and the Ranger got utterly shafted, namely in its Favored Foe feature. The exact text (from this source): So 1d4 damage. On only one hit per round. Requires your concentration even though it's not a spell. And you can only use it proficiency bonus times per...

With all the talk about how such and such class sucks in 5e, here is a list of the worst classes in the history of Dungeons & Dragons, considering all editions of the game. You will notice that no classes from 5e are on this list. No matter how much you may dislike a class from 5e, you have to...

Brilliant writing, spectacular setting design, engaging characters, meaningful choice and consequence. And no stupid microtransactions or other disgusting money-making schemes. Meanwhile Bethesda is doing really dumb crap like a $100/year premium subscription for their colossal failure that is...

Adaptive Explorer This feature replaces Natural Explorer at 1st level. Your experience and training in wilderness settings have honed your most utilized skills beyond what most others can accomplish. Pick one skill you have proficiency in from among the following: Animal Handling, Athletics...

Seeing the Forest for the Trees: The Ranger Guide “You're no ranger, Jon, only a green boy with the smell of summer still on you.” — A Game of Thrones Guide linked on Google Docs, as well. NOTE: This is an update of my very, very old and horribly outdated "Into the Woods We Go" guide...

Anthem, the generic shooter/Destiny clone made by the once-great but now-awful Bioware, needs to fail for the good of all video games moving forward. EA's future is hinging entirely on this game's success. EA's blatant anti-consumer practices, its fetish for microtransactions, loot boxes...

I've played in games that don't allow multiclassing, but never games that don't allow feats. Go figure.

Want to nerf Divine Smite even though a full multiple-Smite turn mathematically doesn't match what the Fighter is capable of doing with Action Surge and Superiority Dice? Prefer the 3.5 Paladin that literally was half-Fighter, half-Cleric, all gimp? Or even the unholy design mess that was the...

No one in their right mind liked that abomination. A terrible concept from the start.

Battle On: The Fighter Guide "Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories." — Sun Tzu Guide linked on Google Docs, as well. Table of Contents: I. Introduction II. Basics of the Class III. Martial Archetypes IV. Races V. Feats VI. Equipment VII. Multiclassing...

NOTE: This guide was MAD outdated. Based on completely obsolete meta. The information is likely not useful anymore. I may work on an updated version for some time in the future, but don't hold me to it.

This is an effort to introduce one of my favorite 2nd Edition Paladin kits, the Inquisitor, into 5th Edition. The Inquisitor, first introduced in the Complete Paladin's Handbook, focused on dealing with hostile or evil magic and its practitioners. And if you played Baldur's Gate II, you'll...

My Word Is My Sword: The Paladin Guide “It is not the oath that makes us believe the man, but the man the oath.” — Aeschylus Guide linked on Google Docs, as well. NOTE: This is an update of my old "Oathbound" guide, complete with SCAG material. I gave it a new name to distinguish it. I also...

- No character development. Half the characters make you wonder why they're even tagging along. The other half are just boring or ripoffs of Star Wars characters. - Sparse to no story, and what little story there is, which is a Star Wars ripoff minus any plot movement, it doesn't bother to tell...
