Yes. Even splits usually are not great. This is why I use full + half as baseline. And scrap subclass for that.

I like the multiclass rules as they are now. But my preferred multiclass option is how final fantasy XI classes work: You have one primary class and one secondary class. Secondary class is always half the primary class level and a select few abilities are not available as subclass. For D&D...

I just converted my warforged armorer to 2024 rules. Didn't have that much fun with a character for a long time. The armor was his all purpose tool and was modified permanently when they cast spells lile alter self and such.

I think it is not totally clear. The ability should just state that all spells are automatically upcast to level 3. You should not feel bad when you put a level 1 spell into it. The difference between mystic arcanum is that the artificer has those spells available and can put them into the...

Ah. I make it auto scale with character level. For cure wounds (a level 1 spell) Lvl1 character: 1st level: 2d8 2nd level: 4d8 Level 5 character: 1st level: 3d8 2nd level: 5d8 3rd level: 7d8 4th level: 9d8 5th level: 11d8 Lvl 11 character: 1st level: 4d8 2nd level: 6d8 3rd level: 8d8...

That rule does not necessarily apply here. If the artificer decides to use a level 3 version, it is specified otherwise. Maybe. Bur I think I use the DM advice that tells you to read the rules in the more favorable way.

I am a bit lower. But it seems to work very well.

I just tried upcasting damage spells like healing spells. Works well. I also add an extra die of damage (and healing) when cantrips scale for all spells that were available before that level. At level 5, all level 1 and 2 spells gain an extra die of base damage.

Read the relevant part of the spellcasting rules. A spell cast at higher level is a spell of higher level.

Agreed. Not reading it as yes is randomly nerfing the alchemist and the cartographer.

The first 5e eberron adventure actually used warlocks as artificers with few changes.

I can say, the guardian was strong in 2014. Would always be my prime option. On the other hand, having two more options is also nice. Since now, you can easily create any armor you want with your plans, no need to have the base item, you can transmute your armor from medium to heavy and...

The Alchemist is not bad by any means. They can entirely focus on int with true strike or cantrips doing fire or Acid damage. Acid splash is an area spell. Adding int bonus to it is great. Poison spray and fire blast have high damage dice. Adding int bonus to the damage helps preventing dealing...

I'd say reddit is the worst you can do if you can't differentiate between good and bad takes. Often things are upvoted, because they are basically rants, while correct statements get downvotes. Many people at reddit are terrible at math, especially statistics.

Depends on the interpretation. "Counts as" does not necessarily mean "they are". Again. Depends on the interpretation. But if you use an invocation or somehow happen to find a real magic weapon, why not. Thumbs up.
