That is not a statblock. It is not the creature. It is just the feature. No, you cannot. You can pull up the rules, and the statblock template. It is not possible anywhere to actually pull up your primal companion as a complete statblock. A template thst says "AC: 13 plus your wisdom...

Sure, but it also true that the D&D Multiverse is a concept that exists as a framework for all dnd worlds. It's just canon, though. Canon literally never matters.

Yes. in the dropdown for Extras where you can choose the type of extra, there is no option for the primal companion from the phb. In fact, iirc there is no way to get the Beast of The Land as an extra ata all except to make one as a homebrew monster and add it.

If we werent talking about classes purely in rhe context of which should become the simple caster in a hypothetical edition, perhaps. But even then, a complex class and a simple class with complex subclasses are two different things in any context. So the fighter and barb are simple classes.

Not missing anything, wotc just refuses to actually make DDB usable.

Did you forget that this entire thr3ad is about a hypothetical new edition? Subclasses do not determine whether the class is simple. The class does. Period. This derail about subclasses on the existing simple classes (and yes, they hoth do have multiple simple subclasses) is not useful on any...

The class isnt the subclasses. Both classes are simple. Especially when discussing class design, objecting that a class isnt simple because most of its subclasses are complex is a ridiculous distraction from the discussion, at best. (Also IMO false but hey whatever)

Nah. This, imo, is a bunk take. The fighter and barbarian are quite simple. I have never seen a fan of simple characters take issue with either of them, never seen a new playing struggle with them, etc. They easy. Very. A simole caster doesnt need to be "10 page rpg character" simple, just...

Idk i dont think the simple caster needs to be dirt simple, just on part with fighters and barbarians. So like, assume the EB cantrips, and pair the Pact invocations with automatic other invications at appropriate levels, and maybe shorten the spell list, and i would be pretty happy. Oh and...

Implied setting can be part of story. Nowhere did i suggest that any implied setting is a story. Please do not lie about my statements. An absurd statement on its face. Again, and frankly foe the last time, that something is also true of Thing B does not make it in any way false to say thst it...

Okay?

No. Cool cover art has no effect on the quality of the novel. My fancy limited edition The Hobbit doesnt tell the tale better than the beat up paperback i owned as a kid. Improved story adds to the game.
