I started with all the players have the same dream where they are at a tavern and Eva comes to them and tells them to save the land. when they arrive in Barovia they find the same tavern from the dream and they all met there on their own accord. Here they spend the night talking to the people and having drinks, gambling. At night they "wake up" from their sleep. in the night with no armor all surrounded a burnt out campfire, no tavern in sight. Here they met rose and thorn and are hopefully lured into the home. After they defeat the death house they wake from the dream and are in their beds. They go downstairs and the tavern keep tells them they got mail. In it is an invitation to the castle from Strahd. (the tavern keeper is a sky for him) Strahd notices everyone that enters his land and has tested them.

As far as rule 5 goes, if the “player” acts out a persuasion or intimidation really good, I won’t even have them make a role. But to just automatically fail them if they can’t act it out is ridiculous. I don’t know what number rule it is but the one about rule lawyering, the rules are not concrete. A DM can use or not use whatever and that should be discussed during session 0.

I would like if they have gaved to the rogue one paralyzed attack, like, for 2d6 the target make a con saving throw or be paralyzed by 1 round, just bc this condition is very bad, but Con is a easy ST to pass, so I don't see how they can't though in something like this

Still encouraging of ya KZreadr fellas to address the Multiclassing nerf / main martial feats nerfs and how that affects the martial/caster disparity. Caster Multiclassing has to be limited or they lose out on their best features where it’s kinda been the opposite traditionally for martial classes. I see this as an overall nerf for martial classes.

Some of these ideas seem pretty broken, ngl. Fighter getting a +level bonus to EVERY saving throw? That's insane. How would they ever fail a saving throw??? I could maybe see a bonus equal to a half of your fighter level rounded down, and I would still say that it feels a little powerful

Arcane prodigy, reduce it to 1st and 2nd level spells at 7th level and keep in mind that the DM can do this for NPCs and I think it's actually really cool. I think 3rd level is just a bit too good with spells like fireball, fly, counterspell, or haste, and in some scenarios revivify, remove curse, or create food and water would just be too OP to be able to cast whenever you want.

As a non 5e player, I find it really funny how you guys are getting mad about how the formerly busted Paladin is getting a nerf to their "iconic" feature thats not really important outside 5e lol. I get you guys think the class's identity is "Divine Smite" but thats really a 5e thing, not a Paladin thing 😂

Paladin got a buff but Smite got a nerf. It was the strongest damage feature to the strongest class in the game so… I’m down with it. A 5th level party with a Ranger and one with a Paladin instead in 2014 were 2 entirely different power levels. I think if they were just going to nerf one feature smite was the one to do
@mattball86224 сағат бұрын
The new smite is so bad. Like, it's so bad it's almost funny from every angle. It now being a spell means that you can get it from other classes or feats that get extra spells without ever touching paladin, which is a bit of a nightmare flavour wise, it also means it can now be dispelled, and it also nerfs it for actual paladins because of the action economy. Maybe the team saw people doing big paladin bonk damage and thought to stop it but... Just make a fighter with Magic Initiate and take Divine Smite as your spell. Congrats, you're more useful than a paladin.

I have an idea for a divine smite fix. Keep it as a bonus action like the new books, but make it a cantrip so you don’t have to use a spell slot. The damage is an amount of d6 equal to your charisma mod. You can change the dice to a d10 by casting it with a level 1 spell slot, and add a die for every level you cast it at above that. That makes it so paladins can still go nova, but they will probably have to sacrifice other stats to make the smite more powerful rather than weapon damage. Thoughts?

I legitimately wrote in the feedback survey for paladin that level 5 should be an choice between several options, and that the whole find steed thing could just be one of several options that players could choose to opt into but nooooooo, wotc just had to insist on forcing the stupid horse on me, cos yeah every single person who ever wanted to play a paladin ever wants a horse... this doesn't add customisation or expand on the types of characters I could make as a paladin, it just does the opposite. And no, the whole approach of, "don't want a horse? just don't use the feature lol" is not a good way to deal with it, cos essentially you just playing down an entire feature, which just feels bad, or it now becomes a dms problem to have to homebrew something for players who don't want a horse, so the paladin doesn't feel like they are just down a feature cos a horse just isn't something that they want for their characters identity. And hey, if you like mounts and really wanna engage in that, more power to you, but making it a choice would just mean everyone wins.

I like that smite is once per turn but I dont like that you still have to choose between smiting and lay on hands. Seems to defeat the entire purpose of making Lay on Hands a BA. In my games I will make the divine smite not take a bonus action but will keep it as a spell so its limited to once per turn and can potentially be counter spelled.
