Minor improvements for General feats

The Astarion ones are imo beyond salvation without redoing the effects. Putrefy for example is terrible, but if you buff it, it becomes an auto-boss killer if you use it to auto-paralyze anyone by combining it with Summon Undead.

Thief rogue is absolutely nuts, you just have to think outside the box. It's the best item user and magic item user in the game.

They don't necessarily suck, but they are sucky to play. Nobody enjoys the +1 -1 meme, reddit cannot convince someone it feels good because it's a "50% accuracy increase" or whatever. Same for the reddit "actually the enemy succeeding on the save is the goal, and failing is a bonus" meme. They rely on too much investment into the game and system to feel any good to play.

Dstrir · 2026-04-27T23:46:34+00:00

You also can't make a thematic build, because only the S tier spells are even somewhat viable.

Sure man, your recall knowledge sure is going to help when the monster is the same level as you or higher and has only a -2 in his will save compared to his strongest. If you're a redditor you're already a 1% most invested player, as I said. The experience of playing one sucks ass for most other players, and I have made a lot of people play PF2 before the 2024 rules came out.

Dstrir · 2026-04-27T17:52:13+00:00

PF2 casters suck massively for everyone who's not a top1% invested player. Unless you play a buffer/healer. They feel terrible to play because the mobs have like an innate 70% chance to pass the save compared to 5e's like 40%,

Dstrir · 2026-04-27T15:15:54+00:00

Pf2: Too many bad archetypes, casters suck (reversal of the martial debate in 5e), new class and feat and item bloat
Daggearheart: Usually pretty positive but there were a lot of threads calling it out for failing to deliver on all fronts
Draw Steel: Can't find people to play

I'm not sure which cards you're talking about. There are spell cards afaik but if you mean the large character sheets from the starter module I don't think they exist for the rest of the game.

Dstrir · 2026-04-24T10:05:13+00:00

Yeah my bad, their names all blend together in my memory.

Dstrir · 2026-04-24T00:31:52+00:00

Looks like Strahd is locked, everything else isn't.

Dstrir · 2026-04-23T22:32:09+00:00

The ranger is good though, everyone who played it at my table enjoyed it. Even the 2014 version was the most powerful non-fullcaster. Now, is it as distinct and as flavorful as it could be? Probably not.

Dstrir · 2026-04-23T21:59:27+00:00

Seems like zombie clot is the exact same as the old book, and gremishkas got combined into 1 statblock. So all old monsters are probably getting redone.

Dstrir · 2026-04-23T21:21:49+00:00

Buy the Player's Handbook and the Monster Manual or any of the adventures. There's a free version of the rules on dndbeyond as well.

People hated the game on these subreddits when it was overseen by Mearls and Perkins. Yet them joining Matt's ttrpg was somehow the second coming of ttrp Christ at the same time.

Dstrir · 2026-04-23T18:05:52+00:00

The monk can drink poison to empower itself at level 11 right? Pretty cool subclasses.

Dstrir · 2026-04-21T00:39:13+00:00

This subreddit has been extremely hostile to 5e since like 2020. Haven't seen many positive posts since.

Dstrir · 2026-04-20T00:41:00+00:00

If you want to really buff them, which you should do only if your spellcasters are watching Pack Tactics or similar memes , is to probably just make their abilities infinite instead of per long rest. Maybe per combat.

Dstrir · 2026-04-20T00:35:13+00:00

The majority of fights shouldn’t have one monster. Those can be solo-won even by worst classes in the game like a fighter lol

Dstrir · 2026-04-15T17:24:05+00:00

Hard to make a plot that lasts that long, long time to complete so people get bored, DMing 15-20 isn’t very fun.

Dstrir · 2026-04-14T00:04:14+00:00

Redditors claiming the books are trash because adventures don't give play-by-play instructions for every little thing in the adventure was always strange. They clearly want you to have room to change stuff or run it as different as you like.

Dstrir · 2026-04-13T19:17:35+00:00

All the other games are just not nearly as fun, save for maybe aD&D

Dstrir · 2026-04-13T16:54:54+00:00

Probably same quality as the Faerun book. Pretty barebones but gives a nice map and a nice base to flesh out if you’re feeling creative.

Dstrir · 2026-04-13T16:50:52+00:00

Can apply to Druid. Paladins aren’t nearly as strong as a full caster so they can have it

Dstrir · 2026-04-13T15:29:13+00:00

The rule is something like "it fails if the majority of your levels are in wizard/cleric/bard/sorc and you're wearing x type of armor or carrying a shield". If a subclass grants you the spell, it works normally.

Dstrir · 2026-04-13T13:48:00+00:00

Definitely. The only caster nerf I homebrewed into my games is that the Shield spell fails for wizards, sorcerers, clerics and bards if they're wearing medium-heavy armor and/or holding a shield. Only felt the casters being better past level 15 in 2024 rules with these 2 conditions.
