I had anticipated the Psy warrior, I should have thought one step ahead to realise they would add psychic feats and the Soul knife and maybe even some psychic-feeling feats The second ever D&D 5e character I made I wanted to feel like a psychic, this was before Tashas so all we had was the Goolock, but it was still very fun My very first character after the next PHB comes out will be another Goolock, (also with the new preset background cultist), I am very excited to see more spell art, like, not sure it will be in here but... What the heck does hunger of hadar look like???

I know the only thing people want to talk about is classes and races, but I was one of the apparently very few people who actually read the new stealth/invisibility rules that were in the playtest for many versions, and they are deeply, deeply silly and completely broken. Going into a cupboard and crouching for a bit (until you suceeded on a DC 15 check against nobody), you would turn transparent and could thus leave it and walk around invisible. It seems to stem from an attempt at making being invisible and being undetected by other creatures the same thing (i.e. making it impossible for someone to be transparent but audible/noticeable). Which is unnecessary and likely not possible without making major sacrifices, even if you came up with a great way to state those rules. There weren't really that many problems with the old stealth rules, once you cobbled them together. They were just kind of badly explained, and also spread out in multiple places in the book and not truly gathered under a single heading, so I understand if people think they were perhaps bad - but really they were very simple and truly did get the job done without any real problems. (if there were any problems with the old stealth rules IMO, perhaps it was just that it's not ideal to have the player roll their own stealth check "ahead of time", so it might be an improvement if the rules simply had the GM roll your stealth check for you when there was a chance of detection or something like that.)

The OCEAN of readily available youtube content on D&D from pros to fans... they have so many voices and suggestions to make this product a delight to play. Here's to hoping!

Yolande and Jallarzi are some Greyhawk deep cuts. Very interested to learn what new spells they have named after them. For those not in the know, Yolande is the elven Queen of Celene and Jallarzi was a later member of the Circle of 8 replacing Bucknard.

Love the Wizard art, she looks amazing.

I hope they update the deities in the PHB. Give more details about where their temples are, who worships them, new god art (not just their holy symbols), give examples on how to roleplay devotion to said deity, and incentivize non-clerics to care about the gods too. Just more than the bare bones information the old PHB had.

Very curious to see how this is all integrated on Beyond to allow us to use the version of core classes (2014 or 2024) versions and if we can mix subs and cores between their new and old versions. I'm very curious to see how this all pans out.

I am immensely excited for the new core books! I can't wait to see what new stuff has been added, but moreso to get the benefits of all those UX improvements and just have an easier time navigating and finding the information I need.

I really feel like we could use a (good) 5.5e. While it's very easy to access for new players, I think there's a lot that could be done to add more individual crunch to the current edition without compromising the experiences of new players. Adding some extra mechanics to encourage creativity and allowing players to make characters of the same class (and even subclass) that can play differently mechanically just as much as they do in RP would be a great step in the right direction. I think the biggest catch in 5e is that it is often designed feeling like it's telling you what you can't do rather than giving you a bunch of cool things to pick from and let you build a unique character. The first thing I always do is let the ability score increases give you BOTH your increase and grab a feat. Currently I think too many people in the scene are concern trolling about things being OP, when really they're not even close to that if you compare to what you can get up to in other game systems. Just my two cents anyhow. I've been hoping to get the time to work on something like this myself. So, I'm happy to see the team is giving it a crack.

I'm incredibly excited for the new rule book! DnD is my favourite TRPG and I cannot wait to see what I can add to my sessions.

Many aren’t happy with clerics and sorcerers having subclasses at level 3. I should be able to heal and support my allies as a divine soul sorcerer at level 1, ans I should be able to do trickster things as a trickery cleric by casting disguise self at level 1

I like how they are switching up the subclasses when they update the classes but I'm somewhat worried about being able to incorperate older subclasses into the new system. Are they making new supplementary books to recreate the older subclasses and add more? What about the other classes like Artificer and Blood Hunter, are they in this book and not shown in the UA playtest or are they going to be in a new iteration of Tasha's, will we get more classes? Artificer is one of my favorite class so not seeing in the UA was a bit confusing especially since I want to see more subclasses introduced

Excited to get my hands on the books, going to be a long week of going through them page by page.

Functional working and usable Index please!

I hope in their text review they notice that due to wording in both playtests Rogue lost hand-crossbow proficiency, which is an iconic rogue weapon. the wording needs to be changed from "simple weapons and martial weapons with the finesse property" to "simple weapons and martial weapons with the finesse or light property"

In my opinion, losing the 3 / 6 / 10 / 14 feature cadence really messed up Rogues and Bards from a design perspective. A Swashbuckler with a level 6 sublcass feature could have Cunning Strike features that really lean into the archetype.

Looking at the base classes with only ASI's, and no magic weapons, the sustained average damage of a Rogue with sneak attack (regardless of weapon choice) will generally be greater than the potential average damage if a sword & board Fighter of a similar level hits with all of their attacks, but less than the potential average damage if a greatsword Fighter of that level hits with all their attacks. When you take miss chances into account, a high level Rogue with Advantage on their one attack every turn (which should be fairly easy) should be averaging more damage over the adventuring day than a greatsword Fighter attacking normally, but less than the average damage if that greatsword Fighter can get Advantage on all of their attacks, and putting magic weapons into the equations, the more attacks the Fighter can get to land, the more average damage will shift in the Fighter's favor. I have been focusing on comparing the Rogue, and Fighter, but Barbarians with Advantage from Reckless attack every turn would be very likely to get the benefits of multiple hits per turn out of a magic weapon, and with Monks getting the teased "Monk specific magic weapons" any "per hit" effects could be very likely to trigger 2, or 3+ times per turn.

@@garion046 I don’t think GWF or SS need to be overhauled. They are distinct, fun and strong for their respective fighting styles, what they did with dual wielding brings two weapon fighting up to their level (I think). They just need something flavorful that does the same thing for throwing weapons. Also, tweaking Thrown Weapon Fighting to work with things like the Eldritch Kights Weapon Bond as drawing a weapon uses the same action economy as summoning it to your hand. I’m sure there’s other examples for subclasses, but that one just stands out the most of me.

@@garion046 what makes a Giant Barb good with thrown weapons?

This definitely could be the prettiest edition - we will see how good the rules for running the game will be Interested in more much modern game theory is apples

I hope the spell section includes an Artificer tag for any new spells they would have access to (and any changes to their current list). If I want to play Artificer with the new rules, I'd at least like to know my spell options and not get attached to a combo that won't actually be there.

Well artificer isn't included at all in the new phb no?

@@20storiesunder Right, but if they're so insistent on it being backwards compatible, then we should be able to play an artificer with the new rules, just like if we picked an old subclass that isn't in the new book. But if we do play artificer, we can only pick old spells, even though they most certainly will have access to some new ones. And if the new PHB is the hub of new info, it only makes sense to add the tag, instead of needing to reprint the list in whatever book the artificer comes out in.

@@UltimateMustacheX Ahhh gotcha. Yeah makes a lot of sense

I hope they are making all subclasses not fully "ON" until level 3. It unbalances multi-classing options when you have Hexblade dip available at level 1, with other subclasses not online until level 3. It just opens up so many things to abuse. If a player wants the benefits, I want to see a commitment to the new class.

As far as I'm aware, Hexblades as a subclass are gone in the new edition and their Hex Warrior feature (which everyone dipped into them for) is now baked into Pact of the Blade itself.

Any chance the artificer will be released to match the changes in the upcoming players handbook?

I'm guessing we'll have to wait for a future editio "of Everything" book like Xanthar or Tasha's for the Artificer. That'll likely not happen until 2024. Would be cool if each new book like that could include a new class. Having the Mystic in Tasha's would be pretty cool.

@@aubreyalexander3894 I suppose you are correct. It saddens me though. Artificer is a massively popular class. I hope it's current 5e version will be permitted to be used alongside the revised PHB classes and spells until we get an 'updated' one.

@@robertdebroeck8291 Yeah. I don't like it much easier. I wish, for players sake, they could be more transparent about what this actually means for access to the Artificer. I'm 100% sure that I've heard that you can play a 2014 Artificer in the same adventure group as 2024 characters. So I'm pretty confident that you'll have your hope when this comes out later this year and have book in hand.

This is excellent news as someone that is currently playing a playtest Rouge with Soulknife tacked on. I think the blades having a Mastery Property (preferably nick or vex) will really help out the subclass. Hopefully they give them a unique Cunning Strike option like the other Rouge subclasses got. I also think giving the blades some kind of scaling would also be massive: +1 at 5-7ish, +2 at 9-11ish, +3 at 15-17ish? But that's just wishful thinking.

Nick and vex are my 2 favorite masteries for rogues right now, i want them to make it so psyblades can make opptunity attacks and not need a physical weapon for it. But scaling for then would be awesome but unique cunning strikes would be sick.

@@shadowstep420 I've always used them as a ranged option, so I've never been in a position to make an opp attack, but I can understand how frustrating it'd be to miss that chance at extra damage just because you are a soulknife.

"The next time you see us, we are going to be talking in depth about the player's handbook, a whole bunch, for hours on end." Don't threaten me with a good time! Unless you are going to deliver. BTW, when is this 'next time'? I need to put in vacation and stock up on essentials to make sure I am ready.

With so much talk about art, I genuinely hope they don't dive into using AI for the art. I'm legitimately waiting to purchase this until after I've seen others express there is no AI "art" involved.

months ago they updated their policy to not use any generated ai images in their products. the one book which contained ai from one specific artist got also updated with new art

Please make that the first new book after the new monster manual it'll be a second player handbook with all the subclasses of previous 5e books that there aren't in the new player handbook.

This will be great. I am really looking forward to lay my hands on the "real deal" instead of the plethora of clones out there.

While this does give me a lot of hope for the PHB, I hope a psion class makes a return. Unlikely as it is, that's always been one of my favorite things in my time playing these games.

I hope they fixed the soul knife opportunity attack

Just by what they said I think they are going to make the attack as part of attack action instead of a bonus action and nerf the amount of dice

to explain if you didn't know what I mean, the soul knife can manifest their psi knife RAW on their turn but not off turn say during an Op.Atk so you are encouraged to not be holding a weapon in order to use your ability but as a consequence you miss out... this could be fixed with a small wording update on the rule to allow this

GIVE US THE BRAWLER. I'm so tired of just building a Champion and relegating every choice I make to THIS specific feat and THAT specific fighting style. Throw it into the base subclass and call it a day.

Tease!

I haven’t really been keeping up, is all 3 books going to come out at the same time or is each book being released one at a time?
