Anyway! It beats having nothing D&D related to talk about but the year that was January. Today I’m covering the Fighter class and its subclasses from the PH 7 packet, on the same day that the new Bastion and Cantrip packet […]

I’m going to say right now that finishing this in one article is not bloody likely, not even with the ridiculous […]

Still, There’s a lot to like about each of these issues. For instance, let’s take a look at the wonderful cover! This sort of guardian of nature looks rad! It definitely should be your inspiration for your next Paladin Oath of the Ancients! Let’s see what the issue has in store for us, shall we? @wildrosemage Since I’ve begun […]

I mean, you’d think that I could cover more than two classes’ subclasses per article, but ha ha no. Uh, settle in, this is a real long one. Part One | Part Two | Part Three Druid The new druid features are fairly tidy. Additional Druid Spells adds 16 new spells to the […]

Unlike a lot of UA documents, this one spends about a page discussing the winding path of psionic/mystic development in UA to date, including the official deprecation of some prior UAs – the Psionics wizard and several psionic attack spells. My only issue is that I like Int as the psionic casting stat more than Cha. (Apropos, I am glad that we have the artificer as […]

The article title suggests that it’ll be mostly replacing features (“variants”), but in actuality it’s mostly direct enhancements to features. These are almost universally quality-of-life improvements and efforts to solve for what the designers have learned about their game in ongoing development. It’s definitely […]

I wanted to share this experiential subclass concept I’ve been toying with for seafaring campaigns. The following subclass pushes the limits on what can be done in 5e, but I think it can work and be a blast to play. The Cannoneer makes a portable cannon and explodes things, but they also experiment to find other uses […]

It’s about time you create a new Player Character, be it for a new campaign, or to archive in case you have a spontaneous chance to play it. However, with the great variety of classes and subclasses that exist, it’s really difficult to choose. What’s more, subclasses can enormously change their perspective on the class, making them more or less interesting for you. After surfing the web for a while, I could […]

My chief weapons are surprise (I thought I was going to write about something else this week), fear (writing good maneuvers is hard), and a ruthless efficiency (?). Now, I haven’t yet played a grappler of any stripe in 5e. From reading other people’s […]
