That was definitely the implication.
Now all they need to do is execute.
That was definitely the implication.
Celestial planetouched having easily mockable names is tradition.With Ardlings it's two birds, one stone, you get Aasimar and animalistic races in one. They basically split Aasimar into two races, more human looking Aasimar and more beastially Ardling.
But for the love of the Gods, come up with a cooler name then Ardlings, it sounds too close to Lardlings.
That might make the save vs cantrips more interesting rather than the step childs of FB, CT, EB, and RoF.that is good so is the no critting with spells (nerf to eldritch blast)
I'm fine if they don't. I prefer my monsters anywayNow all they need to do is execute.
slayer and knight used to have a special ability that on a hit added +1 w that recharged per short rest... the slayer got to add BOTH str and dex to damage on attacks, and there basic attack scaled to 2w at 11th... I could see that coming back.And I can imagine that fighters could get additional weapon dice as an ability at higher levels to give them more power.
Thaumaturge.
I would love if they had a better name since for some reason NONE of them is an aardvark.
Animal headed people qith magical wings.
Accidentally Crit leading to a character death? What is an accidental Crit? And are your players aware that getting into monster fights can lead to death?Unearthed Arcana: Character Origins | One D&D
Critical Hits (experimental) - emphasized this is playtest and not set in stone
- 20 gives inspiration
- 20 on attack is a crit, but only if you attack with a weapon or unarmed strike (nerf to spells)
- to differentiate spells and weapons / unarmed strikes
- roll weapon or unarmed strike dice twice
- only player characters score critical hits
- Recharge abilities are like a monster's crit, so monsters don't need them. The DM can control the tension, no accidental crits leading to character death
It seems from the two videos I have watched today that the primary thrust for backwards compatibility is to allow you to run all of the 2014-2023 adventures with the 2024 rule updates. They are less concerned if a '14 class is 100% balanced with a '24 class, etc.Count me as surprised that the changes being talked about here are OS changes (new crit rules, for example) and not just new ways to build characters and monsters based on the 2014 OS. Maybe none of those actually make the final version or are presented as options, but if they are straight updates that means that a character you built with 2014 OS in mind will function differently in 2024 (and may have to be rebuilt).
