So, you know, life. Anyway, last time I covered everything up to the Fighter class and Champion subclass, and that brings us to the Sorcerer. It will be absolutely necessary to examine the new Sorcerer-only spells in the first part to get a sense of what this class even means; likewise for the Warlock […]

It’s a truly momentous occasion, as I scramble to get this series somewhat closer to its conclusion before Van Richten and Esmerelda show up and require one or more breakdown articles. Anyway, today is Wizarday (I’ve finally invented the eighth day of the week; my technique is right there in the name), as we celebrate the moveable feats. Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part […]

I know you all join me in mourning its loss, with rending of garments and great wailing. (Also the world is on fire, you might have noticed.) And that’s the news that’s fit to prin… Oh, right. There’s a new UA release, and it […]

I’ll be creating new ones monthly for you to have a big collection to look through when you run out of ideas for your game. If people end up liking them we may start releasing them in easy to print PDF format. Don’t forget to comment feedback or possible variations for others to see and/or possibly implement when […]

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 […]

Not only am I into those concepts, the file name of the document sells the coolness on its own: “Twilight Fire Names.” Sounds like some powerful ritual magic to me! I’m going to talk a bit about supporting-fiction inspirations for each subclass. The funny thing: from things Dan Dillon said on […]

This is a tradition of wizards outside the eight Great Traditions – maybe that makes them renegades or apostates in your campaign, or maybe the eight Traditions don’t try to delegitimize other schools in your campaign. In much the same way that XGTE’s War Mage is Abjuration + Evocation, the Mistwalker blends Conjuration, Enchantment, and Illusion. School of the Mistwalker Somewhere in the […]

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 […]
