I find it helpful to remember that fighters have a resource: how many times they swing their swords, axes, etc. We tend to think of all those swings (at least in a round) as one thing, but if you were to think of them as up to four things as the fighter levels up, that opens up a lot of design...

5e Indexes (9.0p) and 5e 1Dnd 3PP Monster 3.0r have all the monsters of CR 10 or less from Appendix A of Vecna Even of Ruin.

When I started playing (a long time ago), brute would have been tank, but nowadays, I think has become the monster term for melee striker (lot of damage, not much defense). Ranged and lurker types almost need their own matrix, because neither of them should be sitting there trading punches...

I have always wondered whether the warlock would work for the monk: you spam flurry of blows like EB, you get two big anime moves (like the spells) per short rest-maybe from the subclasses, and you get to customize things with something like invocations, so you can be wild like Jackie Chan, a...

5e Indexes (9.0o) and 5e 1Dnd 3PP Monster 3.0q on the front page have all the monsters from Appendix A of Vecna Eve of Ruin of CR 8 or less

5e Indexes (9.0n) and 5e 1Dnd 3PP Monster 3.0p on the front page have all the monsters from Appendix A of Vecna Eve of Ruin of CR 5 or less.

I am not opposed to cleric spells being on the domain list, but I think conjure elemental might be better than flame strike. When you get planar ally at level 11, you can ask your god to send you a fire elemental (or better yet fire myrmidon) all day with no concentration involved, and then you...

As long as they have Gargantuas, all is good.

I would rather aasimar and tiefling were subclasses of some kind of marital sorcerer type class, where whatever your grandpa or grandma got it on with makes you better at hitting things instead of casting spells.

5e 1Dnd 3PP Monster 3.0o on the front page has all the monsters from Limitless Monsters vol 2, and all the monsters of CR 1/8 or less from Tome of Beasts III.

5e Indexes (9.0m) and 5e 1Dnd 3PP Monster 3.0n on the front page has all the monsters from Phandelver and Below. 5e 1Dnd 3PP Monster 3.0n also has all the monsters of CR 20 and below from Limitless Monsters vol 2.

I think sorcerer would be better if they split "naturally good with magic" from "innate magic". A lot of people say they want the latter, but as soon as anyone does anything that logically fits that paradigm, all they get is complaining about how they don't want their sorcerer to have scales or...

5e Indexes (9.0l) and 5e 1Dnd 3PP Monster 3.0m on the first page have all the monsters from the first seven chapters in Phandelver and Below the Shattered Oblisk. 5e 1Dnd 3PP Monster 3.0m also has all the monsters from Limitless Monsters vol 2 of CR 8 or less.

Most of the good or neutral gods in my setting have an interest in one or two backgrounds, and sometimes when the trek is taking too long, a kindly NPC, who might be the god, the god's divine servant, or a mortal follower, will give the PC's a ride (I think of it as the Clive Cussler model) with...

So many options..... Probably the most interesting one would be to lean into the magic tables for the Wild Magic Sorcerer. Basically, when you are a sorcerer and you cast your highest-level spell, stuff happens: if you are a dragon sorcerer, dragon stuff happens; if you are a wild magic...
