D&D General The Crab Bucket Fallacy

[Minigiant]

Have you ever thought about playing the fighter from the playtest with the noncombat options? I think I can send you a copy if you don't have one.

Which one? There was like 5 of them. (Have most of them btw)

Whichever one you prefer. It's your PC.

If you dislike the bonus wizards got, report it on the survey. The rules are not yet finalized.

Yes, of course.

I was asked "so what..." and answered the question.

Thx for the remainder.

I swear if Memorize spell is printed in the 2024 PHB in that form, no one can talk to me about the D&D community and classes again except in insult form.

Half-Caster Warlock, Monk Ki Pool, when you roll initiative and have no uses, Champion Fighter?

They tried that back in 3.5 with the Warblade. The Fighter fans weren't happy that, rather than improve the Fighter, WotC chose to just make "Fighter+" an option.

Well, that is, the players who didn't just reject the Warblade because it was "too anime" for their sensibilities.

Some fans are not worth satisfying.

This feature is so good, you wonder if they threw it in just to see if people are paying attention!

I mean it is so far and blatantly not balanced that ever the most hardened apologists blush.

It's literally this thread from the opposite end.


If a wizard can have a floating prepared slot that can be swapped after a minute at level 5, it would be fair to create a class that can swap it's Primary modifier to any combat stat or ability check after a minute at level 5.

Crab bucket meets Helicarrier

The other classes doesn't exist in the real world officially..

That's the whole point of this thread.

The type of fighter the majority of the 5e community wants doesn't exist in 5E. It will require an additional 1 to 4 new classes.

No. I 100% reject this premise. It is entirely speculation on your part. You have no idea what the majority of the 5e community wants. You only know what you want, and you are projecting. You seem convinced that your beliefs just perfectly reflect reality on this matter.

The fact is that fighter is easily the most popular class in 5e as it is. So apparently more people like to play it than like playing any other class. Maybe your dream version of the class would be even more popular. But that is speculation. It also might be much less popular.
