Making an opponent roll a save with disadvantage is mostly good when you're trying to make it fail a save to a concentration spell. I'm pretty sure that you start concentrating on a spell the moment you initiate casting it, meaning that the warlock can't use Hex to impose disadvantage on one of his own concentration spell. So it actually is more of a teamwork ability, which is nice. That being said, A higher level warlock probably has better to do with his limited spellslots than casting hex, even this buffed up version.

Oil of slipperiness is a potion of uncommon rarity which makes it both obvious that they didn't balance magic items nor that they thought this spell through. You can apply it on allies to have them be affected by the Freedom of Movement spell for 8 hours. In short, you are turning a 6th level slot into five 4th level slots with eight times the duration and thus power, an extremely powerful buff for allies.

Upto 5 uncommon potions.... makes Philter's of Love and then let the DM sort out the madness that ensues.

Potion of Water Breathing, Potion of Advantage, Potion of Diminution, and Potion of Hill Giant Strength are all Uncommon rarity potions, and I'd argue more worth taking over healing potions

For example, if the summoning jutsu in naruto was a spell, shouting "summoning jutsu" would be the verbal component, the blood from his finger would be the material component, and the handsigns, as well as pressing the bloody thumb into the summoning circle would be the somatic components.

I'm so glad they didn't give that evasion ability at level 6 like they intended in the initial playtest. Paladin - "Use my Charisma against this fireball!" Rogue and Monk "If only we had one more level we'd be able to evade" Bard - "Bet. you all get evasion with me team! *Guitar solo that deals more damage than the Monks unarmed strikes* College of Dance is still pretty powerful. I'm just glad they aren't doing the "Are you 10th level yet? Okay get all the spells" bullshit.

For the cauldron spell, 5 potions of hill giant strength seems good for buffing everyone's strength saves

Remember that potions are becoming a bonus action to chuck... so, 4d4+4 healing to everyone in the party for a bonus action for a 6th level slot... Or 20d4+20=20*2,5+20=70 healing distributed among the party... it is a different heal spell in terms of usage (better to divide the healing than just one target), but with none of the added benefits of the heal spell (cure conditions) - and as you mention, it can be used during your down time. I think it sounds balanced enough.

Truly magical

Cauldron seems pretty decent I think, it heavily leans into player choice, adaptability and can interact with any additions to the potion list that might come up from homebrew. Though it loses a lot of value in games where players don't really have restrictions on inventory space and can just lug around a library of potions, or for players who are very well prepared and stocked up on the specific potions they need.

I've been watching Treantmonk's videos reacting to the live streams of the WotC releases, and it's been interesting to have him tell the audience that Crawford's either underselling the class/subclass, or that the information is just plain wrong, which TM corrects after pausing the stream.

With the buff to healing spells being confirmed, I am very interested if Beacon of Hope is untouched. A dedicated healer character may actually be viable, probably a life cleric primary and 3 level dip into stars druid for chalice form. To put into perspective, at wisdom 18 and beacon of hope active and chalice form. A single cast of cure wounds (2d8+4) combined with the additional healing from life cleric (3) and chalice (1d8+4) will guarantee a total healing of 35 hit points on a 1st level spell slot. Coupled with the now official bonus action for healing potions, this spell has indeed become interesting. Unfortunately with the changes to when subclasses are obtained, the earliest you'll see this happen is at level 8 (5 cleric for beacon of hope, 3 druid for starry form).

Never really been excited to play a rogue before, now I am

theory for why the video that mentioned artificer might have been pulled: What if they decided to make artificer a wizard subclass instead?

I thought it said in the presentation the venom strike does the damage even if immune to poison?

I really love the dance bard for the kind of builds I go for. Give it a sword if you really want to and it still works well. It will also work for my Professional Wrestler that I want to make.

Poison definitely needs help. The fantasy is obvious, but everyone and their grandma is immune/resistant. Kinda puts a damper on the whole thing.

@TerminalDevastation

Might not even need that! If Pact of the blade doesn't require warlock levels at all, as an Innovation, the eldritch adept feat would be able to pick it up.

I would make it so with tasha's cou8ldron that if you cast this spell 5-7 times on the same cauldron those potions become real permanently. This would allow it to be sort of rp, high level alchemist shopkeeper spell. Or add that if you throw certain amount of gold into the cauldron it will materialize permanently, giving you those potions. So this spell would allow you to dump money into it to obtain potions.

For the Great Old One Warlock's level 14: Create Thrall, the description implies you modify the casting of the spell Summon Aberration. So the "limit" is the number of spell slots, so a fresh 14th level warlock would only have 3 castings per short rest and it reduces the time from 1 hour to 1 minute, with a max temp hit point boost of 5 (which really feels too minor to care about). The most I could see it being abused is someone allowing a warlock to spend three rounds to cast the spell three times, having three of them up, but that takes away a fair bit of action economy and means that they won't attacking for those rounds personally and it would only be for that solitary combat (since they'll be gone in a minute except possibly one that the make a normal cast for concentration). In addition, they wouldn't be able to cast Hex and use its feature that would benefit themselves and their summon. So at best, they spend a turn to Hex something and two rounds to summon aberrations for a minute that have 50 hp with 5 temp hp, at a level when most creatures, including the players, have over 100 hit points, and deal an average of 30 hp. At best they are damage sponges that can make a pair of attacks that would deal less damage than the warlock if they had used eldritch blast instead. Optimally having just one is good enough and two or three is excessive and a trap for eager players. Edit: Didn't realize the temp hp also included Warlock level at first. So the max temp would be 19-25, depending on warlock level. A hefty amount and much more useful, but still not enough to really see summoning two or three at once for a short time to be overly excessive imo.

For Tasha's cauldron, there's definitely better options out there than healing. And assuming there's a least one day of downtime between adventures, having this means everybody in the party should start every adventure with one of those potions (and you still have your slot).

Hill Giant Strength potions are uncommon in 5.0e if they're unchanged it's a cool way to support hirelings.

Iconic Drow weapon.

6:13 But wasn't it said that extra dice (sneak attack, divine smite, etc.) no longer double on a crit. hit?

The dungeon dudes did the world tree barbarian, did you miss that or leave it out for somereason

Rogue needed it

For the assassin... is elven accuracy still a thing?

Cure Wounds at 2d8 is a nice buff! I’m assuming the rest of the healing spells will be bumped up. Tbh, 5e didn’t need to be much easier, but healing has always been a real hassle. It’s literally more efficient to wait until someone is down, then cast healing word than it is to cast Cure Wounds while they are up. I hope WotC can make it more balanced now.

better balance, rules clarification, quality of life improvements, the new Surprise and heroic Advantage rules are amazing and elegant.. WORTH IT!!

Okay idk if it's just just me but did he cover all the classes mentioned or did he just cover subclasses?

My biggest concern is the warlock and how they’ve reformatted the class. I like warlocks original progression in the way that they’re full casters but very unique among them. They just need more invocations and slots and they’d be perfect. One change the warlocks I really did enjoy is that you can change what the spellcasting modifier is.

They reverted that almost immediately. Only one playtest allowed you to choose your spellcasting mod.

Warlock has always been a half caster. They spend all the levels people play at with 2 spell slots while full casters get a dozen or so. Their other half just gave them 4 once per day abilities that mimicked higher level spell casting in the same way part magic mimics low level spell casting. Really, though, the 3.5 warlock was better all around.

@@CitanulsPumpkin yeah but I actually like it that way. Just needed more spell slots and invocations in the progression and it would be nearly perfect. Throw in the choice of spell casting modifier and you’re cooking with gas. The fact they made it a true half caster like a ranger/paladin really didn’t sit well with me, but some of the changes they made to the warlock pacts at level 3 seemed pretty cool.

2:00 I have and will continue to argue that the Spanish translation of Hex is not a mistake. It is a buff made by Warlock players.

Does Lou Wilson know about the dance bard yet? Someone needs to let him know (Dimension 20 Fantasy High)

New Great Old One looks cool, but I do prefer the older spell list, and it makes less sense for warlocks to get their subclass at level 3

New Assassin Bard+Grave Cleric is going to be utterly terrifying. Imagine that double damage crit being doubled AGAIN by Path to the Grave.
