I always thought the 5E Prestige Class should have been an optional 5 class level range that you took at Levels 15-20 to charge up your class's ending path/features.
These Feat paths/chains seem like they could be a nice alternative approach to that. And while I sound like a dead record, they...
Again, I still think the idea of these Feat Chains/Pathes being specific faction awards after reaching certain levels of Renown would be a FANTASTIC WAY of doing it while ALSO fulfilling such Narrative requirements for em. Lich would work for stuff like Red Wizards given who runs the show there...
Hmmmm, I like the idea of an MCDN Illrigger PC and taking the Death Knight line of this UA feat chain.
We even get the unholy paladin nich there by getting Wrathful Smite added to the kit.
Ya know what, yeeeah I'm feeling that Illrigger+Death Knight feat chain.
And another thing, if our Types are changing to Undead via these paths, that means WoTC needs to get comfortable with like the negative downsides to pursuing these paths. Undead can't exactly benefit from healing per se(easy fix since playable constructs have that clause that lets a small number...
I meant like with Large/Oversized weapons. That has been ALWAYS been one of the main arguments from the developers on why they don't do playable large races in 5E. For pcs, don't double the damage die just add the 1D4 damage die to your attack like Enlarge Self does. Reach/Aura was another...
I'll admit, I'm actually shocked they are doing something like this. Between the arguments going back and forth bout playing evil characters in the past to actually giving stuff the thing has.
For example: I see the Lich stat block for 5.5E is Immune to Necrotic/Poison and resistant to...
Because WoTC still REFUSE to make any concrete/solid rules for Large races and so forth. Even though they legit have a spell that basically tells ya how to treat it in regard to damage or reach (Enlarge Self).
Perhaps Shemeshka is the ONLY one that knows everything is glitching or what it is Everyone in Sigil has no idea WHY there's a strong case of "Deja-Vu" afflicting a lotta people they know/met//PCs.
Perhaps, the BBEG isn't Shemeshka herself, but a Glitched Cast-off (a perversion of Torment:Tides...
I have so many Barbarians (and one fighter) in the 5E games I've played in because the DM doesn't really do a Session Zero. We get a certain amount of time at the table to roll up a character and then it's showtime.
Which is why when I get around DMing for the DM at some point, I plan on doing...
Well I'm free from work at 12pm tuesday and off all the way to Saturday. Worse case I'll download said pregens and just manually transcribe them to the 5.5E character sheets.
The Anxiety part seems to be around the line of "I never played it before" but there seems to be some general excitement for trying it out. (co-worker asked to be a rogue).
Also another interesting update: somehow, we are now up to Six(!!) players for this Thursday. All new. Two hour time...
