    D&D 5E (2024) Brainstorming ways to fix ranger with new spells.

    so what? burn your epic boon to deal reliable +20 damage couple of times per day at 20th level? really not impressive. no matter how you write it, it's one hit turned into crit. it's weak as it gives nothing extra that could not happen on it's own. that is why I do not hate Shield or Silvery...

    to make it more "martial" and to avoid problems with spellcomponents/counterspell/anti-magic area burning a 3rd level slot for extra 2 attacks is probably not worth is. that is 15-20 extra damage to the target.

    there is no bonus damage that could justify spending a 3rd level slot to turn one hit into a crit. even if you are ranger 9/rogue 11, it would be a bad 3rd level spell. and that is at 20th level.

    D&D 5E (2024) Brainstorming ways to fix ranger with new spells.

    this is a 1st level spell. and not even a good 1st level spell. only useful on some cheese rogue multiclass build where you dip ranger for critting on a sneak attack. A-tier for level one dip on a rogue main class D-tier on a ranger

    D&D 5E (2024) Brainstorming ways to fix ranger with new spells.

    No "real" spell, but ability to burn spell slots for extra attack during your Attack action. So it's different than smites. IE: burn 1st level slot for 2 extra attacks, for every slot above 1st, those 2 attacks gain bonus +1d8 damage. you can use extra usages of HM for this feature. at 13th...

    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclass Ranger Fix?

    in a way. it's removing dependency on a OKish spell that consumes 90+% of the Concentration slot, making every other ranger Concentration spells complete waste of print space. it's not helped with later subclasses doubling down on hunter's mark. it makes for a boring class to play. ranger...

    Fey step: Elves can teleport as Bonus action up to 50ft+10ft per level. they can split that distance in as many instances but each instance must use atleast 5ft of distance.

    D&D 5E (2024) How do you run an open table game in D&D '24?

    Solution is simple. announce what level is the next session. maybe last 2 sessions your PCs managed to do something important and they advanced the story from 4th to 5th level. have anyone coming to next session be 5th level. while you can make different levels work in a same party to a...

    D&D 5E (2024) A fix for advantage/disadvantage stacking

    or you can just stack advantage/disadvantage to keep it simple. now you just need to determine the cap, if it's needed at all, it's diminishing returns stacking advantage. Elven accuracy adds +1 die if you have atleast 1 advantage die. maybe limit to 4 dice rolled max(5 with elven accuracy).

    D&D General Alternate firearms rules (input needed)

    few things about firearms in D&D: 1. They are simple weapons. Anyone can be trained in basics of firearm in few minutes. Then comes practice to improve your aim and muscle memory for reload speed. 2. Reload for playability should not be Longer than 1 Action, so you can attack every other...

    D&D General Why does the Hunter subclass for the 2014 & 2024 Ranger not have bonus spells?

    if they wanted to do that, they should have given rangers something to burn their spell slots like paladins smite. IE: +2d6 elemental damage on a hit per spell level burned.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Point Buy Balanced?

    great, but you should eliminate all options that waste +1/+2 increase on a stat lower than 13. As an advice at least.

    D&D General Why does the Hunter subclass for the 2014 & 2024 Ranger not have bonus spells?

    hmm: Beast strike: use your spell attack modifier, damage bonus on attack: Wis mod. so much for being more martial... guess it's Magic initiate: Druid and Shillelagh or bust with this subclass also.
