I disagree. The wizard already doesn’t feel like memorizing complex formula. The bard doesn’t feel like playing music. The monk doesn’t feel like doing Kung Fu. Etc.

Yeah, your reading was how I meant it, but I can see where it could be easily misunderstood.

Ah, yeah, your reaction makes much more sense to me in that context. I agree that would be a poor way to go about it. I suspect this is related to us having different ideas of what “simple” and “complex” mean here. Fundamentally I do agree there’s probably an upper limit to how far a single...

Just because the character is learning complex formulae doesn’t mean the player needs to be doing so. And there should still be complex options for those who want them. Not just for wizards but for all classes. How much complex rules minutia you want to deal with and what fantasy archetype you...

This is just the thing I said but worded differently.

…how do use modular options to make a class less complex?

No. There are many more axies of class diversity than complexity. No, but there are players who strongly prefer simple characters, and those players should not be barred from certain classes. All classes should be able to be simple. Because that cuts those classes off from players who want or...

I’ve never been fond of the idea of whole classes being designated simple. All classes should be designed to be simple at base and scale up in complexity with subclasses or other modular options to add onto them.

Well, Reality Fracture is a Magic set. It’s just going to be what they call an “event set” - one that’s tied to a major event in the Magic storyline, rather than to a particular plane. And like I said, signs are pointing to the event in question being a crossover with an alternate-timeline...

It definitely won’t be another D&D set, if that’s what you’re thinking. They’ve been pretty clear that it is within Magic’s IP, and leaks from folks who participated in surveys strongly suggest it’s probably going to be the magic multiverse crossing over with an alternate reality version of...

And then wait an hour before you can do it again

Well the warlock subclass in question never lets you restore your patron to godhood, so this seems like a moot point. The closest it comes is a “semblance of life” for 1 minute a day.

Yeah, I mean I’m a huge 4e apologist, but I still play 5e over 4e. Each edition has things I prefer over the other, but ultimately 5e wins for me. A more 4e-ish 5e would be great, even if I would be a little bitter they didn’t listen to those of us who were saying so all the way back in 2012...

There are also some non-spell magical abilities from 2014 that became spells in 2024. For example, the dryad’s Charm ability got turned into the Charm Monster spell, with a parenthetical note saying it lasts 24 hours and ends early if the Dryad casts it again. My impression is that early in the...

My reaction would depend on a lot of factors, from in-game context to my real-life emotional state on that particular day. I think I tend to lean towards “this will make a great story,” but if the tone of the campaign is super light and goofy, that would likely shift me towards “that’s...

Fate/Stay Night!

Yes, I agree. Tell that to @Minigiant

Who ever said they could go back in the cycle for rebirth? Sure. “A secret, third thing” is just a memetic turn of phrase I was borrowing. My point was not about the exact number of possibilities, but that “outside the cycle of life and death” is categorically distinct from “dead.”
