This is an Ar Cane

It's a flame now. You probably want it in a lantern, even if it's not going to burn you. Magic and tech are essentially the same in this game. There are no rules for throwing a rock at a lantern and splash damage from it in 5.5e.

Would you be OK with it if the light source in the lantern were from a continual flame spell?

Weirdly, though this has been a topic that goes back to 1e AD&D, both you and the YouTuber Pack Tactics mention this issue this week. The truth is, people in our world hung lanterns on belts sometimes. It just makes sense to keep your hands free. This is a Flemish miner from 1906 using a...

Yes he notes it's atypical. The fighters simply reliably dishing out a lot of single-target damage quickly in the first two rounds, and being able to make pretty much any save for those rounds, is really what's happening here. And that would apply just as well to some monster-oriented combat...

Details on the magic items were sparse. There is something there, I just don't know what it was.

Every level of Champion is both 1) something really useful, and 2) boring. Improved crit (twice) Advantage on Init Added Fighting Style Heroic Inspiration every turn Limited regeneration and advantage on death saves It's almost all passive abilities.

Arise foul thread! OK, so not too old. Just a month off from being fresh. It's still twitching a bit at this stage I think. Treantmonk just released (on Patreon) or is about to release (on Youtube) a test experiment he ran. Five 17th level single-class identical Champion Fighters (he ran as...

Interesting take. I wouldn't have had any issue with this

I was never a fan of prestige classes. They were intended for one special career themed path, and optimizers used them like a Halloween grab bag of candy, Frankensteining one prestige class on another on another in a hodge podge of abilities never intended to work with each other to dominate the...

I think he plays only Gnome Bards. For which I respect him. He knows what he likes.

In general I agree. The Horror one was better. I feel like a lot of these are very conservative in this UA. Like they didn't want people angry at them for trying something new. So instead of something unique and interesting that might need some tweaking, they'd throw in a short range teleport...

Yes, sure, sorry about that.

I did watch Colby (D4), Chris (TreantMonk), Pack Tactics, HermitHutGames, Todd Kenrick, Insight Check (?), and a few others. It's kind of what I've listened to for the last week while exercising. I then added some of my own views, and didn't include some things I disagreed with.

Survey is up. Thread for Survey discussion here: https://www.enworld.org/threads/arcane-subclasses-ua-survey-is-up.714143/

The Arcane subclasses UA survey is up. Here is a link: https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/8355002/D-D-UA-2025-Arcane-Subclasses Here are my notes before filling it out. Feel free to add your thoughts here. I always find it helpful and interesting to see other opinions on these things before...

The only new wizard subclass I actually like here so far is Transmuter. Enchanter makes no sense (why would you gain movement and disengage?). Conjurer is underpowered (one time a day features better be AMAZING, and if not they're mostly a waste of space). Necromancy is "ok". It doesn't do...

I don't know since those are more difficult to track, but he pattern historically is they lose people, and slowly over the next few months we see ads filling those positions, as if a single quarterly or yearly report was the purpose all along.
