What do you think about new racial feats? Also, there's something wrong and uncanny with this pic, and I just can't put my finger on what.
Other urls found in this thread:
You walk into a nice deli. You order two sandwiches: a turkey club and a pastrami on rye.
The turkey club is good, delicious even, but the pastrami...isn't. The bread's a little stale, the mustard is thin. There's no pickle. It's not a BAD sandwich, but next to the turkey it's a little embarrassing.
You go to the counter and ask if you can maybe have a fresher sandwich. No one at the counter responds. They tell you they understand and they'll do better next time.
You come back the next week and order the same. The turkey club is, again, exquisite. If anything it tastes even better. But the pastrami on rye hasn't changed at all! It almost looks like the exact same sandwich you ordered last week!
Frustrated, you go back to the counter again and ask for service. No one answers. Everyone is too busy making more turkey clubs, and more variations on turkey clubs.
The other patrons of the delicatessen laugh at you and tell you to go to a different shop if you want a decent pastrami. Then they go back to eating their turkey clubs.
The feats seem kind of boring mostly. Though I guess they're trying to avoid powercreep.
Maybe it's how big his hands are compared to his face.
>liking pastrami
Fuck off, turky club master race.
What would power levels and balance look like if things like Superiority and Bardic Inspiration didn't actually use dice, and you could just use them at-will?
Jokes on you, I'm a new DM and basically winging it in our ToA game, and also including lore from other game systems and worlds so my players can fulfil their individual quests. My aim is for my friends to have fun and they seem to be having a blast.
>Food metaphor
Also, is this talking about casters and martials?
Hair, beard, leaves suggest strong wind blowing on him.
Cloak billowing forward.
How does one protect him/herself and one's equipment from rain in pseudo-medieval fantasy settings?
They ask how youd make a better sandwich
You tell them how they do it in a different deli with close to zero patronage and a history of failure
They respectfully decline
Bards would be beyond busted. Inspiration dice are powerful, that's why you don't get a lot of them.
Infinite superiority dice would also be op, though not as much.
Do murricans really do this? Go to a shop for a goddamn sandwich? Sandwiches are the easiest foods to make, period.
>D&D is only successful when casters are better than martials
just drop the metaphor and spit it out user
Cloaks. What a dumb question.
Actually I tell them to make the pastrami they had when they were performing taste tests that I loved.
There are sandwich shops in more places than murrica, you know.
The new way you filter spells on 5etools sucks shit, and they should really go back to the original.
have you considered it might indicate you are wrong about martials
I was some people shitting on the Redemption Paladin last thread. I've been thinking about making a Paladin with thematic similarities to this archetype. Is it a bad idea? What's wrong with Redemption Paladins?
Half human playable race when?
There’s a solution there.
Either make the food yourself or go to a different deli, both of which I’m guessing were answers given to you before now.
Sure maybe the deli’s convienient because it’s nearby, but your refusal to even try going to other places because of your obsession with this one deli mostly shows you care much less about quality over convienience.
that's what half elves and half orcs are.
How does divine soul sorcerer look, too strong, too weak?
The archetype is inherently hypocritical and contradicts it's fluff. It's all about stopping violence... Occuring against YOU and your party, but you're perfeclty fine with slaughtering your enemies.
It wasn't always like this - but all the thematic and meaningful features about it were stripped before the release.

Nothing. The class is cool and you should play what you enjoy.
he already said he tried visiting the other deli until the gestapo came and destroyed it along with any recipes for how to make the sandwich the way they did
I still have my copy though and I hear you can get some online in shady underground places like Ebay and Amazon
I've only ever seen a "sandwich shop" at bus and train stations for the traveller on a budget around here. That and Subways, but barely anyone ever goes there.
Just give me plain half human so I can just be spawn of anything.
How do I best use a broom of flying without abusing it too much and without killing myself? I'm playing a wild magic sorcerer and I'm not quite sure how to handle it.
Waxed cape
>Hypocritical
Only if you play as an hypocrite.
I mean seriously, the whole class is about sparing enemies and some of the high-level features don't work if you attack your enemies.
Of course you're going to kill things that are literally made of evil, but everything with a soul should be spared.
>half elf
>half orc
>tiefling (half demon)
>aasimar (half angel)
>genasi (half genie)
Just plain "half human" is never going to do justice to the other half.
user recently wrote a good post that sums everything about it up. Here's what he said.
>Redemption Paladin, a character whose power comes from the ability of choosing peace
>It comes from a deeply martial class, so every time you picked peace, it was a meaningful choice.
>You chose to believe in peace so even though you *could* use armor, you don't, and so you'd get to add Charisma to your AC
>You could use great swords and pick up GWM but you choose not to, and instead you can even knock sense into people who have yet to learn what real violence looks liks
>You could use those spell slots to SMITE, but you don't, so instead you get to fuel Shield spell
>Your Channel Divinity lets you be even better at solving things peacefully
You had a character who could really be "CONVICTIONS" man, someone who thrived when things were hard *because* they were hard and protected his enemies as much as his friends, and protected his friends from becoming just like their enemies
Instead we got this waiffy faggot who is actually all for violence and cruelty when it helps *his* side
Anyone that chooses this for the wet blanket factor, I want to spit on

martials vs casters debate can stop when casters admit they like being the best and don't want martials to be good ever
Use your imagination. It responds to command words to move it around independently without a rider. Use it for creating distractions, carrying inventory, attach a rope to it and fly it up a cliff to create a hold for the rope, hang off of it Mission Impossible style to fly over over an ancient artifact surrounded by traps.
Unrelated. How to best flavor a magic item that can cast Tenser's Transformation once per day?
has anyone uploaded a full pdf of xanthars yet?
yes
great! where can i find it?
Online
Gee, user, I don't know, where might you find a 5e pdf
Paladin of mediation when? Someone have to be out there stopping good and evil from waging all out war.
Human half is never done justice either.
Warlock mystic arcamun are just unchangeable spell slot that scale like other spellcaster. If you exclude those, they have the least feature.
There isn't really anything about a Redemption fluff that can't also work perfectly fine with Devotion. Remember that reincarnation is totally a thing in D&D, so killing bad guys can be a perfectly valid way to save their souls. Hopefully they'll learn their lesson and be good next time around the Wheel. E.g. I'm not actually smiting these undead, I'm "redeeming" them!
of course, how obvious. where online should i look?
Trove link is in the OP. It has all the pdfs.
just admit you want us to play 4e
ah thanks, didnt know it was that kind of trove.
>just admit you want your class specialisation to be everything
>Pickles
Also using this analogy there were a bunch of people who were complaining that the pastrami was TOO fresh, and that they wanted a staler bread.
Tieflings, aasimar, and genasi aren't half-breeds though. They're mostly humans with traces of planar ancestry. For example, a half-demon is specifically a cambion, and is way above the power level of your average tiefling. Those races are more akin to TES Bretons or Yuan-ti purebloods than true half-breeds like helves and horcs.
theres nothing wrong with or stopping you playing 4e
you can leave and we won't stop you
Reminder that WotC is so out of touch they thought Lore Master was in a state even remotely close to being test-worthy.
Some places actually do serve certain sandwiches with slightly stale bread. It has a different texture or whatever that works for certain things.
I don't want to play 4e, I want to hear you say you're happy with caster supremacy.
Could I have some free reaction or skill that come with martial weapon? A thrust, sweep, bash, parry, block, or even counter. Just a different attack all together.
>By choosing not to wear armour and promote peaceful negotiations, you become harder to hit
>Implying you shouldn't become easier to hit
>Go around clubbing people conveniently unconscious though you could already do that with any melee weapon anyway
>Trying to make peace with shit like beholders and devils and the definition of evil itself
>The abilities were more themed about 'an eye for an eye' rather than forgiveness and redemption
>A villain could literally throw an innocent peasant at you using your level 20 ability and you are FORCED to kill that peasant
Redemption paladin was and still sucks but redemption paladin is a bit better now.
Tranquility monk was way better.
Tiefling is according to XGE non human parent chart.
Well at least one parent isn't entirely human.
Mearls pls go.
No one liked the fucking tranquillity monk when it was released, and no one likes it now that it's a paladin.
I have a new pdf for the Trove!
Mortzengersturm, The Mad Manticore of the Prismatic Peak - Bookmarked

They already stated that they prefer to release overpowered things and nerf them after feedback than releasing them underpowered and buff after feedback
Pretty sure everybody loved it aside from the people who loved the poorly designed other archetypes for monk like 'Sanic the Drunken Hedgehog' monk and 'Why am I not doing as much damage as the fighter?' Monk
I've never played 4E and I never fucking will.
Martials should have more options available to them outside of playing "Mother May I?" with the DM.
Nobody likes homebrew, user. Nobody.
Tranquility monk fits the pacifist theme so much better, as well. The whole point of being a paladin is smiting the guilty; they are not and never were supposed to be "kind & gentle hugbears." Tranq monk made perfect sense for that archetype though. But with redemption pally being in such a weird fluff place and also stealing a bunch of tranq monk features, I'm pretty sure it's dead. Which is a shame.
Give me reasons a Hexblade wouldn't use weapons.
>Your patron makes sentient weapons, and only lets you wield weapons if you have their consent.
I would have thought human and demon would spawn cambion instead.
>A villain could literally throw an innocent peasant at you using your level 20 ability and you are FORCED to kill that peasant
AHAHAHA THAT'S GREAT
but for real that situation would never come up
>everyone loved it
Go back to complaining about bonus actions Mearls.
Is this a trick question?
No, Cambion are 1st generation half daemons.
I agree, good sir! You guys shouldn't be so hard on Redemption Paladin, the dev team of DnD 5e (TM) delivered a qualtiy product.
Because you can instead channel their power into curses and eldritch blast them instead?
The player is a munchkin who want to play laser-pew-pew.
>not knowing the keyboard shortcut for ™
Neck yourself, sempai®.
Is there a good list of changes that were made between the Unearthed Arcana and Xanathar's Guide? Or is it all just copy-pasted?
maybe you are the problem
try talking to your dm
or just play a barbarian
If I can just be real for a second I honestly think the 5e team has delivered a number of high quality products.
>I want martials to have options
>"that's a problem"
Off the top of my head divine sorcerer doesnt just get the whole cleric spell list anymore, you have to use your spell replacement upon leveling up to get it. Arcane archers dont get +1 magic arrows till level 7, and they aren't +1 anymore.
Martials are fine and the game should never be played above level 10
What fucking idiots playtesting this material thought Arcane Archer was too strong?
They have, but some people just can't go for a walk without purposefully stomping in every dog-shit on the road.
Game should never be above level 3.
>divine sorcerer doesnt just get the whole cleric spell list anymore
It does get access to all cleric spells
I'm not so sure, though. I mean, it could so easily happen accidentally.
>drunk guy attacks paladin on the street, totally unprovoked
>dies from radiant damage backlash
>paladin is crushed by the guilt of violating his oath of innocence
The redemption paladin is going to have to spend all of his free time intentionally attacking and missing every single citizen every time he visits the city.
Would the game be fixed if we just renamed the attack action depending on your class/weapon
>epic greataxe swing
>crushing blow
>tactical strike
etc
Is Law the law of the land or ones own ideals?
This sounds like something a small-dicked AL DM would try to pull out of spite.
Where to buy cheap minis?
Law of the Cosmos
I go though various second hand papers, got myself nearly 12 pounds of ral partha, D&D and other metals minis for little more than a mega pizza.
Neither. It's order in general.
5e got rid of my aversion to D&D that has lasted for almost twenty years now.
Fuck that Beyond shit though. Whoever came up with that idea needs to eat a bag of dicks and choke on it.
More or less. But it just illustrates the problem with a class that's supposed to be about peaceful intervention and non-aggression having a permanent damage aura that they can't turn off.
At level 19, they can turn the other cheek, subdue the guy, teach him the path of righteousness.
At level 20, the guy gets radiant damage to the face, no exceptions.
Games should never go above level 1.
Can anyone think of some legit reasons a good-aligned character might want to seek out immortality?
