I think the conversation on Crawford has reached its point. Best we focus on what is being suggested as a fix rather than discarded ideas and email replies.

You seem to be under the rather grotesque misapprehension that because you explain your opinion to someone, they must agree with it. Even your buddy Ulorian admitted the phantoms comment was a bit ill-made.

Yuck.

No no, people are clearly having fun thread-crapping, let's see where it carries.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I am guessing that English is not your first language? If that is so, be aware that idioms sometimes have difficulty jumping between languages.

It was not the first language I was taught. However, not having the poster respond and clarify the intent while allowing the recipient to interpret the comment as something else is wrong. It gives credence to the recipient's interpretation.

I like the new ranger, it seems good .

This stuff is probably good to remember.

I somehow missed that home base bullet point. Interested in what they came up with

 

[fluffybunbunkittens]

Oh yeah, 'new weapons options for certain classes'! I hope it's not like weapon specialization..

Anything is an improvement on the PHB, but... I preferred Tasha's Favored Foe, because its uses scaled with your level without spending your slots. The new Hunter's Mark feature is one free casting, then it's back to being the best way to use your lv1 slots (especially with free attack from TWF without spending bonus action now), no fun spells allowed.

I find it interesting that in the Rogue's Weapon Proficiencies, * they make sure to let it be known that although they get *Martial Weapon there, said Martial Weapons have to be Finesse.

Hmmm, that's interesting. If they DO end up making new classes aside from the main PHB+Artificer for OneD&D, the idea of certain classes being able to use a weapon based on the Property it has could be a novel avenue to change up the direction. This UA even mentions something about "New Weapon Options for classes."

Can we get a bludgeoning weapon with the finesse property then? How about a nice sap or blackjack for that 'thug' rogue style?

My god, they actually fixed Guidance. Once per long rest per target.

I feel once per short rest would have been fine.
