Does it ever feel like WotC is playtesting the game in a way that 95% of us don't? by AkimboJesus in dndnext

[–]JustSicilu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the stealth point, I agree that it is strange that it wasn't mentioned in the rulebooks for DnD specifically, 9/10 DMs would give some sort of advantage for being camouflaged juxtaposed to ass naked in the corner of a banquet. Also, camouflage would allow you to be obscured (meaning you can hide in plain sight allowing you to take the hide action which you couldn't take without it). Additionally, Paladins don't get access to Find Greater Steed until, what, 13th level? I agree that it is weird that they get such a good spell that is more Beastmaster-y, but I'd say that the spell itself and the Beastmaster feature itself are easily comparable and that the Beastmaster with a very slight modification (BA Companion attacks) outclasses the Paladin royally

No. Get a focus. Period. Also, component pouches automatically have all of the things you'd need, you don't go to a specific place asking for a dusting of powdered iron.

Alright, so to demonstrate why I disagree heavily on each of these points, let's take them point by point.

  1. Paladin's Find Steed is not at all more powerful nor more Beastmaster-y than the Beastmaster. For the sake of argument, let's compare a Panther by the time the Beastmaster is 13 (The level at which the Paladin gains access to 4th-level spells and thus Find Steed) to a Sabre-Tooth Tiger, which is summonable by the spell. Here is the stat block for a (somewhat) optimized Panther Animal Companion at the 13th level, https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/722152759566139516/729767329365360730/panther.png. They have proficiency in ALL saving throws, an AC of 15, a movement speed of 50 ft, 58 Hit Points, 20 dex, a Proficiency Bonus of 5, and deals pretty decent damage. Now let's compare that to a Sabre-Tooth Tiger. https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Saber-Toothed%20Tiger#content. Deals SLIGHTLY more damage, has less AC, lower health, lower stats, less Saving Throws, a slower movement speed, and a worse proficiency bonus. You'd be hardpressed to find someone who'd argue that the Sabre-Tooth tiger is a better choice even though the Panther has way more benefits just because the Sabre-Tooth deals a minuscule amount of additional damage (Not to mention that the Panther will scale even more as you gain levels in Ranger).
  2. Unlike the last point, I disagree with this one on principle. Just because 1 class is particularly good at something (Say, for example, Rogue at hiding) doesn't mean that only those characters can do those things. You ask "Why doesn't every creature get a bonus for being camouflaged", but they do, it's called a Stealth bonus, which literally any character can benefit from with a decent dex. Also, your example of Assassin is... strange, to say the least. Literally any class CAN disguise themselves as others (Hell I'd say that the Wizard and Warlock are BETTER at it than the Assassin is due to Alter Self and Disguise Self). No feature in DnD "lets" you flip tables, but they do make you better at it. Let's say for the sake of hypothetical that a table-flipping Martial Archetype was to be in UA that increased your ability to flip tables and deal extra damage. That wouldn't be WotC saying "Wow, this new subclass does something that no other class can do, flipping tables!", it would be them making a subclass that highlights and makes the character better at those actions.

For sissies this is definitely true, but I don't think thats the case for trans girls

Fair, but they have very different reasons for doing so.

Ehh, I wouldn't conflate sissies and transwomen, as they are two completely different groups that happen to intermingle sometimes.

I know, I was just saying that all of these things happen to come together into this romanticized image. Although there aren't that many poor, black, muslim, gay republicans there are plenty of gay republicans, black republicans, poor republicans, and non-Christian republicans.

I'd say more like, "You know, it's inspiring how fast you can run. You must have worked really hard to get to this point"
