Honestly, I could tell the product was a dud the second I clicked launch on the program. I've got a pretty hefty high end gaming rig, and yet every fan on the thing whirred up to 100%, while the internal component temps shot up to the levels I get when playing Ark Ascended. I suspect that the...

In 2014 I used to use multiclassing all the time, as it was a way of introducing actual build choice. However in 2024, it seems to just be a "cripple your character with this one simple trick" button.

Wait is there actually debate about whether psionics are Int or Chat in DnD? It's been long established that psionics is linked to Int, and not Cha. Even in the current rules, creatures which use psionics have Int as their spellcasting modifier. Mind flayers, gem dragons, and the even the...

It's a shame that DnD Beyond doesn't allow you to switch a classes ability scores. An Int based aberrent mind sorcerer wouldn't be a perfect psion, but it would be better than anything we currently have available. I can't see it being unbalanced either, even when you include multiclassing.

God I get sad every time the DnDNext sorcerer gets brought up. Such a unique class concept, completely and permanently binned, because people wanted 'wizard, but hot' instead.

Yeah agreed. Over the years, DnD has become less and less compatible with lower magic settings.

It's weird that they seem so hellbent on making the drakenwarden obsolete. From changing the dragon sorcerer into a a dragon summoner, to copy and pasting the drakenwarden onto the fighter subclass. I suspect that we won't ever see the ranger drakenwarden get brought forward into 5.5e.

I was more thinking:

The winter ranger is insanely cool. Definitely up there with my favorite 5e classes of all time. It absolutely oozes theme. I hope in the future they keep down this route for ranger subclasses, using different environments as a base. We have gloomstalker as an underdark ranger, but a volcano...

Watch them get retconned into being either humans or elves. Edit: Seems that they've actually been turned into their own species. I wonder if Jhor'guntaal will get the same treatment, at least in the lore.

It feels weird that they're changing all these creature types, while not changing aasimar and tieflings to celestials and fiends. Then again, I suspect they might keep all player species as humanoids, while giving the exact same NPC species other creature types.

Or, y'know, acknowledge that some groups have more than 4 players in their party... If you're running a 7 player game, then a boss monster of matching CR to their level is going to get absolutely stomped.

I feel a lot of the issue with species ASI's isn't the with there being a problem with the concept itself, but rather 5e's bounded accuracy and minimum expectations of starting primary stats. It essentially resulted in your character not being functional if you chose the 'wrong' species for the...

Switching to species absolutely makes sense, but I feel it's like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. It's quite clear that a huge proportion of the community (and even many official WotC staff themselves) views them like irl human ethnicities rather than unique species, and...

To me, it's not that thunder gauntlets or the flail are great or not. They are. But if I want an armourer with wrist blades rather than thunder gauntlets, I just can't, unless I give up half my subclass abilities. As for switching armour model on the fly, I'm happy it can't do that. If I'm...

Which doesn't let you pick your own weapon. It's thunder gauntlets or flail.

Wish there was an alternative battlesmith option, where you didn't have to lug Preston the robodog around with you. Not everyone wants their gish to be a pet class.

It would be really nice if Artificer got a selection of unique spells. Not having them is a large part of the reason for the class feeling tacked on.

We've all agreed to call it 7e right? I refuse to call it DnD Edition-X.
