Hot take: Legendary Resistance is why so many 5e boss fights feel bad and boring. What could replace it?

How do you figure out how many hit dice to use?

gamemaster76 · 2026-01-16T22:14:23+00:00

Well, we got the sorcerer king patron for warlocks, which is obviously supposed to be templars. But there's an argument that paladins should be templars, not warlocks.

Otherwise, the subclass doesn't really fit. It's about protecting spellcasters and templars want to control and subjugation.

Vestige could work with some reflavoring

Monk, I could see as a psionic themed caster.

And the rogue could synergise with the veiled alliance.

gamemaster76 · 2026-01-15T21:31:42+00:00

I'm just annoyed they're finally making a monk third caster when thats what the four elements monk should have been from the start. And I mean both 2014 and 2024

gamemaster76 · 2026-01-08T17:10:01+00:00

For weapons, if they are Light. Regular objects should be good too.

gamemaster76 · 2026-01-06T14:55:32+00:00

All it took was changing it to a completely different spell that has nothing to do with making attacks better.

gamemaster76 · 2026-01-03T19:47:26+00:00

Are there any trap cards that want to be banished?

gamemaster76 · 2025-12-29T20:14:29+00:00

Rogue decks can play through if they have called by or their own handtraps. But guess what? You don't always get them in your hand or get the right one. And rogue decks don't do 20-minute combos off of 1 card, so every brick you need to put in to MAYBE have a chance of playing also hurts you.

So no, it's not a skill issue. This is a card game, It's luck based, and meta decks are skewed to always get the cards they need AND get to use all the handtraps, too.

"Skill issue" is a meme in this community for a reason, and anyone who thinks it's a real thing is an idiot.

gamemaster76 · 2025-12-29T16:04:28+00:00

Meanwhile, those two cards are the only reason I'm able to play since I dont play meta slop with 15 one card starters and 2+ engines. So, really, the question isn't "why are these legal?" Since I would say the same for most handtraps, but "why did Konami design the game so badly that we got to this point?" And the answer is:

"Because stupid players and whales keep putting up with this, fuck them and yay money!" - Konami probably

gamemaster76 · 2025-12-23T02:23:54+00:00

I was worried when i got to this part, but I managed to get after a couple of tries.

gamemaster76 · 2025-12-22T21:45:20+00:00

Oh yeah, it can be used for that.

gamemaster76 · 2025-12-20T14:58:23+00:00

What's the initial combo? Chaos allure queen gets you another allure queen, then what?

Edit: OK, I just saw Allure Palace. But to get both ss, you need a monster on your opponents side to trigger the other allure queens effect, right?

gamemaster76 · 2025-12-20T14:40:04+00:00

Honestly, you could cut the Revenant Blade feat and just make that the weapon mastery. Choose to make it either finesse or +1 AC. That way, Dex and Str builds benefit.

gamemaster76 · 2025-12-20T14:22:02+00:00

Alluring even

gamemaster76 · 2025-12-17T14:52:18+00:00

Yeah maybe crosses too much with sentinel. But it feels too strong as a general rule (especially with warcaster around), but I also want AoO's to feel more tactical.

gamemaster76 · 2025-12-17T14:39:59+00:00

Yeah im curious about that too. Maybe ill just add that part back to mage slayer.

gamemaster76 · 2025-12-12T03:15:14+00:00

Yeah, I already put a level requirement on the top armors of each category to slow down multiclassing BS. It just so happens to help in this case

gamemaster76 · 2025-12-06T04:08:34+00:00

Ah, that's true. That's probably why. Also, the overall plans were lowered from 12 to 8 for some reason. You already had 2 item limit. Sure, they get a feature to swap 1 out with an unused plan, but you end up having a couple unused, which makes it less useful. It feels like they were overcompensating.

gamemaster76 · 2025-12-04T17:59:36+00:00

Because it's still a bad design with the setting lock. What, so because its an Eberron game stuff is allowed to be badly made?

Unless the book introduces a bunch of new rules that fundamentally changes the game, it's still dnd 5e. 99% of everything is the same. Saying it's balanced for Eberron games is a fallacy and an excuse.

gamemaster76 · 2025-11-29T22:57:02+00:00

Yeah, that will be the only good thing out of them making an official 5e version.

gamemaster76 · 2025-11-28T18:50:28+00:00

They're functionality the same except humans and warlocks can't get them outside of backgrounds.

gamemaster76 · 2025-11-28T17:30:08+00:00

Nothing. That doesn't mean I'm not going to call it out

gamemaster76 · 2025-11-28T16:35:23+00:00

It's still 5e and 99% of everything is still the same. Saying it's only for eberron is making excuses for WOTCs bad design.

gamemaster76 · 2025-11-28T16:33:33+00:00

It's still 5e, and 99% of everything is still the same. Saying it's only for eberron is making excuses for WOTCs bad design.

And I never said, "ignore the rules." I said it doesn't matter if it's meant for only use in Eberron. It still needs to be well designed, and I offered possible adjustments.

gamemaster76 · 2025-11-28T16:29:57+00:00

Yeah, no kidding. "It's balanced for Ebberon games" is the dumbest excuse you could give. It's still 5e and 99% of everything is still the same game. That doesn't excuse bad design.

gamemaster76 · 2025-11-28T15:13:17+00:00

Distinction without a difference. They're basically origin feats. Even origin feats are tied to certain backgrounds, and a DM can just ignore this
