UA 2023 – Player’s Handbook Playtest 6 Breakdown, Part Six

Brandes Stoddard — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 18:29:36 +0000

We’re getting close to the end of this packet, folks. It’s only been one (1) life-age of the Earth since I started! This time out, we’re doing rangers. PH Playtest 6: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Monk, Paladin, Ranger Ranger If you’re aware enough of D&D fandom to read this site – like even 1% aware of what’s up in D&D – you already know that the 5e.14 ranger is an incredibly controversial class. Slightly fewer of you know about the substantial changes offered in Tasha’s […]

Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything Breakdown, Part Five

Brandes Stoddard — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 14:22:17 +0000

See, I told you it wasn’t going to be quite as long until I wrote the next one! If you round in my favor a bit! This time out, we’re doing rangers and rogues, and I don’t have anything witty to offer up-front, so let’s sneak past that and get to the stabbing. Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four | Part Five Ranger No one goes big on new Optional Class Features in this book quite like the ranger does, though […]

Unearthed Arcana 2020: Subclasses, Part Five Breakdown

Brandes Stoddard — Mon, 26 Oct 2020 22:58:00 +0000

There aren’t a lot of things that could pull me away from my current freelancing work to get a weekly article out – sorry, beloved readers! – but Unearthed Arcana was that thing. Surprise! Today we’re getting two new subclasses: the Way of the Ascendant Dragon monk and the Drakewarden ranger conclave. (I will give up on “conclave” as the subclass name for rangers when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.) Oh, and this should all be post-Tasha […]

Help your players create the best character for them

Tomás Giménez Rioja — Wed, 26 Feb 2020 14:00:37 +0000

Thumbnail image from Netflix’s The Witcher series Do you run D&D for players that have already played one or more times? Are they more of a min-maxer kind and look more on creating a powerful character than in their dreamed one? I think I have pretty much what you are looking for then. It’s not new modifications to existing classes and subclasses, but more of a way to summon your inner game designer and help create the best for your […]

UA 2020: Subclasses, Part Three Breakdown

Brandes Stoddard — Tue, 25 Feb 2020 18:48:38 +0000

It’s been a couple of weeks since the chaos of Subclasses, Part Two: Revenge of the Bride of the Electric Boogaloo, so yesterday WotC dropped three more playtest subclasses. We have the Armorer artificer, the Circle of Stars druid, and the Fey Wanderer ranger conclave. (Yes, I know it’s still technically “archetype,” because “conclave” got buried beside the UA Revised Ranger, but – and I cannot stress this strongly enough – you can have it when you pry it from […]

UA: Class Feature Variants Breakdown, Part Two

Brandes Stoddard — Wed, 06 Nov 2019 00:24:38 +0000

Hey, have you already checked out the first article in this series? It’s full of (commentary on) great stuff like new Battle Master Maneuvers and new Fighting Styles and even, technically, a few things not mainly for fighters. No matter how much I treat this “second half” as if it’s an equal portion, though, I’m covering the big news here. PS. If you’re one of the incredibly kind people who has talked on Twitter or elsewhere about how much you look […]

UA: Fighter, Ranger, and Rogue Breakdown

Brandes Stoddard — Sat, 19 Oct 2019 00:14:51 +0000

UA on a two-week cycle, you say? Don’t mind if I do. This time out, we complete a cycle through all of the Player’s Handbook classes with the fighter, ranger, and rogue. Let’s see where this takes us… Barbarian and Monk | Sorcerer and Warlock | Bard and Paladin | Cleric, Druid, and Wizard | Fighter, Ranger, and Rogue Rune Knight Fighter Archetype Here’s another fine example of “you had me at [$subclass name]. Yes, sure, I’ll still study […]

Brief Description of 5e Classes and Subclasses (Ideal to Show to your Players), Part 2

Tomás Giménez Rioja — Tue, 15 Jan 2019 14:00:10 +0000

“New year, new me”, as the phrase says. 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 […]

5e Magic Item Patterns for Alternate Crafting: Part Two

Colin McLaughlin — Wed, 05 Sep 2018 15:46:27 +0000

I don’t know if you know this, but there are a lot of magic items in D&D 5e. We’re talking into the hundreds. I was thinking I’d knock out a couple a week, but I obviously underestimated the amount of magic items in the SRF. I’m fully aware sixty some-odd articles on a single topic is probably too much for anyone to reasonably want to consume. No matter how interesting I think the content is, ain’t nobody got time for […]
