Int often seems like the least important mental stat as long as it’s 10 or more. Below that people act like you’re a retard. Charisma helps with talking to people, wisdom helps with the majority of spell saves. How would you make int into the god of mental stats it should be?

>>96917739 (OP)
Reminder that 10 just means "average, with no real benefit or disadvantage."

If you want an example of a character that's actually dumb, there's Grog Strongjaw, Int 6.

It's because there are *two* classes that use INT, and one of them is artificer. I would make an actual half caster who isn't artificer that uses it.

How are we feeling about 5.5e Heroes of Faerûn's circle magic as a direct, free expansion to spellcaster flexibility and problem-solving, right from level 1?
https://5e.tools/book.html#frhof,5,circle%20magic

Set aside theorycrafting-level options like hours-long Delayed Blast Fireballs for gajillions of damage. Consider some more practical applications.

A level 1 party wants to assassinate some pesky noble from afar. A longbow goes out to only 600 feet, and even that will probably incur disadvantage. No problem: just circle cast Chromatic Orb, Guiding Bolt, Witch Bolt, etc. for +1,000 feet of range per secondary caster. The secondary casters need not expend any spell slots for this.

A level 1 party wants to Sleep the enemy side, but a 5-foot radius is insufficient. A 15-foot radius, though, that might do. A secondary caster tosses in their own action and spell slot, and there we go.

A level 1 party wants to squeeze more out of Divine Favor, Jump, or another brief-duration spell. They get one secondary caster to burn a spell slot for +1 hour of duration, bringing up such a spell from 1 minute to 61 minutes.

These are merely level 1 examples. Who knows what a higher-level party can do?

The most practical application is to have someone take a couple levels in Warlock, since then you have a couple short rest slots that you can use to circle cast ahead of time with lengthy durations, or otherwise just easily get them back.

Martial characters already struggle to be useful, but in a campaign with that rule available it becomes active sabotage to not be playing at least a half-caster. Warlock+Paladin multiclass is probably stronger than ever.

>>96918153

Yes, working with warlock slots is definitely a great convenience, though recharging those slots still takes a Short Rest.

>>96918120
>gajillions of damage
Technically speaking, twenty-four hours of holding onto concentration on Delayed Blast Fireball is only 50,400 additional damage.

>>96918191
>though recharging those slots still takes a Short Rest.
Except that doesn't really matter if you're using those slots to extend a spell to an 8 hour duration, or if you're using it to during downtime to create free holy water via Ceremony.

It's an extremely minor drawback, especially if you're planning on doing goofy things like augmenting a spell to hit enemies from a half-mile away. It doesn't really matter if you need to take an hour break afterwards if the enemies would need more time than that to track you down.
Especially since in 2024 plenty of full casters have other reasons to take short rests more often.

Any opinions on Elder Brain products like "Crown of the Oathbreaker"?

Int should be tied to perception, or at least give it a slight boost past 10. Intelligence in real life measures pattern recognition and information retention; I feel like that'd include perception in some way.

I’ve toyed with the idea of giving extra skills equal to int bonus. But it just seems like it would make wizards even better which is hardly needed.

>>96918728
That's literally the reason Monte Cook designed the skill system in 3e the way he did - to make mages better in every possible way, just like every other design decision he made.

>>96917739 (OP)
>>96918728
I've seen some variants which just offer tools and languages based on Int mod. Which is still buffing Wizards, but in a way that isn't quite as impactful as full skills

Whats the best Warlock fix?

>>96918653

i like great old one incognito as a god in the setting
like have a pantheon and the benevolant god of stars/travel etc is actually an ancient eldritch deity that turned good
then there's a whole campaign arc about revealing truth etc

>>96917739 (OP)
Hey guys, what do you think about the melee War Cleric? I really like the idea of a full caster with high Strength in 5e 2024, and from what I’ve seen, this subclass seems to be the closest fit.
Divine Order: Protector
Stats: 15 Wis, 14 Str, 14 Con, 10 Dex, 8 Int, 8 Cha
Background: Farmer (I just really like the concept of a humble young human, hardworking and down-to-earth, who eventually becomes a hero).
Race: Human
Origin Feat: Tough (extra HP)
Second Origin Feat: Magic Initiate (Wizard) — Minor Illusion, True Strike, and Shield as the 1st-level spell (though I’m not entirely sure about that choice yet).
That’s as far as I’ve gotten. I haven’t really looked deeply into the Cleric’s spell list or which spells are best for a melee War Cleric.
Any general suggestions?

>>96917739 (OP)
Oh to be an Fighter, identity masked by armor who wears the Plate of Fellowship Armor, summoning my Knight to fight in my place and only enter the battle when absolutely necessary. Contributing so little while my true PC is practically the Knight itself, acting like I'm the top dog while who needs a "legitimate reason" to help my team of "weaklings" but always getting my shit stomped by incredibly strong NPCs because my DM and my players not-so-secretly hate me

>>96917739 (OP)
>TQ
You don't need to change anything, just actually enforce the skill checks it should govern over. Perception should be sharing the load of observation based checks with investigation and not be the god everyone wants proficiency in. A lot of GMs seem to like to give out lore and information for free rather than asking for an Arcana/Religion/History check.

>>96918120
>How are we feeling about 5.5e Heroes of Faerûn's circle magic
That its rules belong nowhere near a game I run, and I'll be disappointed if a DM in a game I play in attempts to introduce them without customising them beyond all recognition.

>Gaze of two minds
>Imp familiar
>Constantly use its senses to see
>Cast spells through an invisible imp that constantly takes the hide action and remains invisible while my body is slumped on the ground in a coma for the fight behind full cover with disguise self to make myself look like a dead fighter
Will this just piss off a dm/party?

>>96918120
It might be fine for my current group as they wouldn't abuse it but in general I think it's shit. Overpowered, convoluted, and ultimately encourages everyone to have spell slots somehow. I don't like it but will try it with my current group as they're interested.

>>96919606

Play at medium levels or higher, where the results of failing INT saves are catastrophic

Remember 3rd edition: free metamagic was unfair, but playable and didn't change the game into something completely different, until you found a way to cheat up Persistent Spells.
Circle Magic is all fun and games, until your players bust out Prolong.
It's not even that bad at level 1, the most abusive thing you can find is all day Divine Favour.
But 2nd level spells, already give you options that you might want to keep up all day. At least with Concentration, you can't stack them, but keeping a Flaming Sphere around for 1h or 8 is doable and a very smart way of solving problems at 3rd level. Or giving your familiar all-day Dragon Breath. Or... you get the idea.
And for 3rd level spells, you get Sprit Guardians.
It makes the game devolve into a Dispel Magic/Counterspell fight.

>>96922764
grease at a mile range

>>96917739 (OP)
It annoys me that 2024 let Warlocks add their invocations to other cantrips besides Eldritch Blast, but Warlocks don't get access to Fire bolt, Ray of Frost, or even Shocking Grasp.

Would have been nice to have some more customization by getting to choose an alternative main cantrip that doesn't totally suck (even if EB is better).

>>96923156
While funny, it's not really going to change anything, is it?
By the time your party gets there, the Grease will have disappeared.
At higher levels, spell sniping becomes a real thing to fear tho.

A lot of people were like "we are gonna make our own 5th edition". Did anything good (or relatively equal) come out of that? Or is everything daggerheart tier stuff?

>>96923269
Chill Touch and Toll the Dead are both solid. Can also get Sacred Flame from Celestial.
A bit weird that they didn't put Fire Bolt as an extra Fiend spell, but maybe they're just trying to avoid overlapping with Sorc/Wizard

>>96923321
I can see some utility with Chill Touch and Repelling Blast for a more ranged focus Warlock.

I don't know how I feel about cantrips with saving throws. Somehow they feel worse than ones with attack rolls that can miss.

>>96923261
>not content with neutering orcs, the tranny artists turn their pens to the Goliaths

>Bladesong ends early if you use two hands to make an attack with a weapon.
>Bladework. Whenever you attack with a weapon with which you have proficiency, you can use your Intelligence modifier for the attack and damage rolls instead of using Strength or Dexterity.
>Song of Victory. After you cast a spell that has a casting time of an action, you can make one attack with a weapon as a Bonus Action.
!!! Gunslinging or Hand Crossbow Bladesinger is completely possible now! The only thing is you still can't use a ranged weapon as a Spellcasting Focus for your Wizard spells, but you could just sidearm whatever melee weapon you want when you want to cast a Material component spell.

For peak comedy- Gun-using Bladesinger Wizards who got Martial Weapons from a feat or multiclass should sidearm a Greatsword or Pike to hold in their off hand to cast with.

>>96923432
Los Orcos Cazadores is the stupidest thing I have seen in years.

>"b-but you can just use whatever in your table"
One of my groups rioted becaise I told them the tieflings in my setting were super mega cartoonish evil and not whatever it says in the player's handbook. I'd rather not have to ever deal with that, as rare as it is.

>>96923321
>but maybe they're just trying to avoid overlapping with Sorc/Wizard
Yeah, but now it's not really as worth it to take Firebolt as a Sorc when you have Sorcerous Burst.

But I want a big beefy fallen angel bubble butt to sit on my nerdy tiefling face.

What's with D&D adaptions portraying drow as "evil" waifus to be lusted after? They're treated as high level goblins in most modules and tabletop games. You're never going to talk to one of them, you're going to be dipping them in a pool of acid you conjured up and cackling as the flesh melts off their bones and their organs spill into the acid pool below.

>>96924009
It's very simple
Evil characters are typically proactive to Good's reactionary state
Elves are hot and distinctly characterized by being physical perfection
Evil drow women are proactive hot women
Plus since their inception drow have always been the domineering beam girl

>>96924009
Blame Baldur's Gate, they gave players an evil drow priestess who falls in love with the hero, only to break things off when it becomes apparent that her enemies wouldn't stop searching for ways to hurt her. Then she turns out to be pregnant with the hero's son, they reconnect while raising him together, their relationship reignites only for her to be murdered by drow assassins and die in the hero's arms, and he raises their son to join him on a brutal crusade against the drow.

>>96924009
The reason Tieflings were prettied.

People be horny.

>>96924078
how does this work if you play a female character

>>96924078
Cept Wizards retconned her into being super evil. She got kicked out of the party when she tried to murder Boo and doubled down on being a Sharite. Between BG2 and BG3, she did a lot of evil for the lulz. Also, she was lying about her origin story, at least according to Wizards. She left the Underdark for political reasons, not out of moral objections, and she killed the farmers because they were weak and she could, not because they tried to rape and bury her alive. Wizards was pretty consistent with Drow = genetically/spiritually evil at birth up until around 4E.

>>96924128
As far as I know, they still have the ugly brow horns and chin horns in 5E, even if the movie had a pretty 2E style tiefling.

>>96923835
Feel like I should recognize this image somehow.

>>96924175

Male version of Lute from Hazbin Hotel.

>>96924138
The brow horns and stuff happened because of a ritual performed by the Toril Thirteen, which overwrote most extant tiefling lineages on Toril with that of Asmodeus. It's been long enough since then that other bloodlines are starting to reappear.

>>96924138
That's only because Wizards insists that the shitty novelization that literally no one likes is canon, even when they themselves refute it.

>>96924009
what's that from?

>>96924138
Wizards massacred her, all to make Drizzt look better.

>>96922199
What do you need videos for?

>>96924343
Drizzt's not special, Eilistraee long predates that faggot.

Are they going to re-release all the other subclasses like e.g. shadow sorc or giant barb, reworked for the 5.5e rules?

I've kinda stopped following all the developments but our campaign is ending soon and the DM wants to move from the 5e rules to 5.5 and I was thinking the content is still kinda limited unless we wanna make him port and balance all the previous content

>>96924376
Probably, it'll save them having to print any actual new content for the next couple years at least.

I’m a wizard player who wants to fuck a Paladin or barbarian. Is this normal?

>>96924009
Reminder that Eilistraeean Drow have always been around.

>>96924138
you gotta not assume that the niche romance arch with viccy in bg1/2 is the defacto canon storyline for that character, or any character for that matter.

her neutral ending is pretty close to what happened in bg3 / wotc lore, and that she was written by the OG bald gate writers. The only difference is that she loves shar a lot, but that's pretty reasonable as she had been devoted for a long ass time for that, briefly adventured with Gorians ward, then fucked off and was probably harassed constantly again.

>>96924569
The neutral ending had her teaming up with Drizzt to rescue an elven city after throwing off Shar. Her overall arc seemed to tend towards good, even without player intervention.

>>96924643
she'd already done 'good' things with Gorians ward, the only difference is that she had been treated very poorly by the surfacers before and theres a non-zero chance she'd be harassed again - ignoring the fact that the gods are very petty, schemers, and need agents on the surface to do their bidding.

its not a far stretch to assume she might re-join up with Sharran ideals eventually, after spending years following Shar

>>96924078
>>96924343
I found the Viconia of BG1 and 2 to be a cruel, heartless, evil, psychotic, toxic, bitch. It is possible to romance her and somewhat redeem her, but you are taking that redemption arc as canon. On average, for most players, it's more likely she stays her same old evil self. Like 99% of her race, she deserves to be put into a camp and dealt with.

>>96924376
The same publisher who released one class from 2014-2024? Nah, I think they'll do something fresh.

>>96924818
you mean the fact that they've already started playtesting and putting out UA for the psionic class?

>Old guard is out btw

>>96924760
I think it's fair to assume a past PC generally does everything "correctly" (aka good in this case) except Larian felt like the best route for the game is to assume your character in bg1/2 fucked up quite literally everything ever
I bet if they remembered Aerie she'd have been left in the carnival

>>96924376
>unless we wanna make him port and balance all the previous content
You barely need to or don't at all, depending on the class & subclass.
Champion Fighter got justifiedly improved, while PDK is garbage, so it's not as if you can even expect a uniform level of power and quality from 2024 reprints anyway.

No, canon Abdel was kind of a failure. The canon choices were usually the neutral ones whenever possible (which makes sense, canonically he's an unkitted TN Fighter). Abdel was the type who rushed the main quest and ignored side content (makes sense, as the main quest is pretty important), didn't romance or redeem anyone, and completed BG2/ToB at a relatively low level (he never unlocked HLAs, and Minsc/Jaheira were stronger than he was). He was killed by accident by noobie adventurers decades later.

>CELESTIALS —Rob Heinsoo (4e)
>If you’re a long-time D&D fan, odds are that you’ve already noticed that the tieflings’ promotion to first-rank player character race has left another race behind: the race that was the tieflings’ light-side counterpart, a race of golden humans descended from angels—the aasimar.

>Even now I struggle to type that word without spelling it like buttocks.

>I’m one of the designers who argued that we should stop using the word “aasimar.” In the aasimar’s place, you’ll meet a race of celestials who have plunged through the same transforming fires as the tieflings.

>I won’t lie: making Good-associated creatures as exciting as their Evil-curious counterparts is a challenge. I call the challenge the “Ave Maria” problem, a reference to Walt Disney’s original Fantasia, a wonderful animated film that ended with musical meditations on Evil and Good. Evil got Night on Bald Mountain, accompanied by an evil-storm orchestrated by a whip-wielding demon. Good followed up with barely animated candle-bearing keepers of the faith proceeding across the screen singing Ave Maria. It’s a sweet piece of music, and it certainly speaks to the possibilities of Good, but the animation just didn’t hold a candle to lightning storms on Bald Mountain.

>So now you know our mission: celestials who sizzle bright enough to hold their own against Bald Mountain lightning storms. We’re working on it!
Why is it that their attempts at "more interesting morally-ambiguous replacements" (Deva, Ardlings during 5.5e playtest, etc) continually turn out more boring and lacking in actual identity? Like, not even being disparaging, I'm just baffled that they couldn't see that "playing a crusading angel" is a very self-evident appeal whereas trying to lift Hindu myth (or make "animal people from the heavens") doesn't have as much obvious appeal besides having less alignment-heavy trappings?

>>96925220
There's a sort of myopia effect when you're in a position of creative design authority (in tabletop, vidya, or elsewhere) where you can get so wrapped up in your ideas, you forget what it was like to be the guy opening things up for the first time and thus lose sight of the essential audience perspective - from an operational level (like not thinking about the fact you made a system too rigid because it wasn't hard to work on development-wise) or just blindly rationalizing that players will share your mindset.

It's also a single, one-note character. The explosion of tiefling popularity hinged on the character tension of defining yourself in spite of your heritage...or succumbing to it. But defining yourself "in spite of" being good isn't much of a hook.

>>96925668
consider the flip side. Everyone expects you (the Aasimar) to be successful, great, change the world, etc.

>>96925668
Yeah
Tieflings surged in popularity for two big reasons, most players prefer to be good characters (or at least, not evil) and the standard "fight against my heritage" character is fun. And demon people are hot (yeah they're devils I know)
Aasimar for the longest time just looked like humans and didn't really have that built in character hook

>>96925835
Lie about your rolls and ask your DM for better weapons

>>96923345
It's good to be able to hit as many different defenses as possible. I'd rather have one attack roll cantrip and one saving throw cantrip than two attack roll cantrips.

You can just flavor them however you want. I ran a lich once that was more like a construct because he made himself a cyborg body. It was still the lich stat block but his spell casting was flavored as him cycling magic gems into his palms and firing spells from them. I also made lightning damage heal him so he could heal by lightning bolting himself.

This is MtG speak for “only the numbers matter, fantasy fiction is just a veneer.” It’s what passes for dnd now because, look at that, the creations of MtG bought and redesigned dnd starting with 3rd ed on.

You’re just gonna rebreathe all the stale pop culture fart riffs on fantasy that at this point are the hundredth copy of a copy, enjoyable only to the woefully ignorant

I penalize the player for inappropriately incorporating Latin-derived slurs in a setting that lacks prominent Romanesque elements.

It's not a bad thing to have a dirt-simple premise and I'm tired of pretending it is.
>Maybe you're the Aasimar Rogue who's gotten used to using your gifts for personal gain that, between your Robin Hood habits and starstriking, convinces you it's still moral even when it isn't.
>maybe you're an Aasimar Druid who's idolizing nature and animals for their complete absence of morality as an impulse or conundrum, making you feral as you deem socialness the root of all evil or just seeking to...be.
>maybe you're an Aasimar Warlock losing your humanity to some alien Celestial code of conduct or just on the slow slide to falling from grace as you seek the power to do greater things.

You are fat, bald, bearded, wear thick rim glasses for your weak eyes, enjoy the taste of cat piss ipa craft beers, and will die a loser. You don’t know enough about what’s being called out or what you think you’re attacking to be neither a competent defender of your own corporate slop game nor a competent detractor of your projected osr boogeymen

Curious, anyone here played with Laserllama content and if so, how did it go?

>>96926318
Same. I need to look through their stuff again, but I’m curious if anyone has ever run it.

>Setting's god of death and destruction finally revealed his long game to get the world to go to war
>Party can't even blame him for trying to because he's right
>Big intraparty divide about whether to use it or not, actual moral quandary
Feels good, man

Eilistraee is literally just Lolth but dressed up to look nicer and with transgenderism, she's still so pro-women that men aren't allowed to gain any real power in her cult unless they agree to magically turn into a woman and earn her favour.

>Eilistraee is literally just Lolth but dressed up
Nah, she's a nudist, she's never dressed up.

>>96926691
Why shouldn't it?
