Thanks for the link (in the other post - not trying to be snarky) - I trusts you.
So they are, as I said, balanced mathematically, but not as much utility wise.
Saying that there is a problem with balancing around the adventuring day is not meant to deny that people enjoy resource management over the term of the adventuring day. If resource management should be a key feature, then it should be a key feature across the board for all rather than for some. All IMHO.
I suspect 2024 will differ mechanically from 2014, but either we have already seen those changes or will soon.
I don't think we have time for that unless you have a couch for me and a lot of coffee (or hard drink).
Eh, I would take claims that there’s no need to re-buy any books with a grain of salt. Of course they would say that, because it would be a bad look to seem like they’re making people re-buy the same books. I take this to mean the same thing as “backwards compatibility.” If you have the old books, you’ll be able to make a character to play in a game with people using the new books, or run a game for people who made characters using the new books. I think MMotM gives us a pretty clear picture of the kinds of changes we should be expecting.
Oh good no. I hate resource management as a player, but I wouldn't want to take that away from those that do. Now, I could see each class have a subclass that is resource based and one that is not. But I wouldn't want it all one way or the other.
Of course they say that!
Indeed. I fully expect the PHB races and MM monsters to get updated to the MMotM standard. Features that let you cast spells X times between long rests will be updated to allow you to cast the spell with appropriate-level slots if you have them. Features that let you do a non-spell X times between short or long rests will be updated to be PB times between long rests (apart from Warlock spells; I think that would require more drastic of a change than it sounds like they’re looking to make). The wording of a lot of things will be revised for clarity - see, for example, Dwarven Resilience being re-worded to say you have advantage on saves “to avoid or end the Poisoned condition on yourself” instead of on saves “against poison.” Some things might get re-organized somewhat, such as putting all the stealth rules in one place. A lot of things will probably get sidebars reminding the reader of things like temp HP not stacking. They will probably specify in all cases where you divide something that you round down, instead of leaving it implied by the “always round down unless otherwise stated” rule. I’m betting Tasha’s optional class features will be included directly in the class features, though they might still be marked as optional, and of all my predictions I’m least confident about that one.
Namesake. They are exploring ruin.
