D&D General March Madness 2024 - Round 3 - Casters Quarter-Finals

[Mind of tempest]

Mechanics-wise, nope. Because they're prepared, rather than spontaneous, casters. Flavour-wise? Eh. The memes comparing Warlocks to Clerics/Druids have already written themselves.

they are all theurgy to me all gifted power is equally about selling out to the powers that be.

Oh, bards. You're so adorable.

If you want to keep with that kind of flavour, then Warlock Patrons' are the "Suit/Sales"-heavy startups and the other deities are various established corporations. You're better off at a soul-crushing startup than you are working for EA, as an example. Much less reward at EA, for (in many ways) the same amount of suffering.

I'm also not sure I'd classifiy Clerics, Druids, and Warlocks as all Theurgy, but that's a technical discussion that's beyond the reach of this thread anyways.

I've just been assuming that the final four would be the first four classes. But maybe druid will upset that pattern. Slightly.

Then I think fighter for the win. Fighter has the most hardcore supporters on this forum.

Well it got close for a moment

I know right? I suggested making the Extra Attack feature available as a 5th level feat and the Fighter supporters were swarming all over the place, hollering about "niche protection" and accusing me of robbery.

We might like the fighter but that doesn’t mean we don’t recognise it’s not in the best position or needs it’s strengths being poached by classes with superior features.

Maybe the druid (actually warlock) players are really bad at spontaneous casting and always act like they're prepared?

 

[Cadence]

Only one day to go, and its a tight one for the "Divine (or lack there of) Casters" side of the bracket!

 

[ezo]

Maybe it will be a tie!!!
