I would personally say Arcane Archer is probably the worst: only two uses of its main feature and a saving throw DC based on your Intelligence mean that a Battle Master is usually a better Arcane Archer than the actual Arcane Archer!

I wasn't a big fan of the 8 subclasses as they were. They released a bunch of actually interesting subclasses later on, like the bladesinger, which give you new abilities or ways to cast spells and are focused around new playstyles, while the 8 subclasses make you just slightly better at a specific type of spell. So I was kind of disappointed that they didn't use those new subclasses. Imo, wizard subclasses should have been focused around different ways to cast magic. Like Bladesinger who focus on buffing themselves and throw around quick short to midrange spells. A ritual mage who focuses on slow casting and large spells perhaps. Many possibilities.

These are brilliant. We ditched the school specializations all together and are saving them as prestige classes.

*Love* the idea of the four fundamental forces as wizard subclasses: gravity could focus on crowd control by having lots of forced movements and maybe something akin to Hold Person/Monster as a subclass feature, electromagnetism would focus on lightning damage and maybe help allies with grappling to make use of the new grappler feat, weak force would probably focus on transmutation magic due to the weak force being able to turn one type of particle into another, and the strong force would probably be a bladesinger-like melee wizard due to the strong force only applying on small scales sorry, I'm just a nerd who loves the nerd class so this excited me a lot!

I designed a subclass that mirrors Lands Druid, Jester Wizard. It is the Wizardiest of Wizards where the Spell list you prepared with the highest number of school gives you two special features; 1. dedicate your specialty like subtle casting (illusion) or more targets (Conjuration) or bigger area if effect (Evocation) for any and all applicable Spells you prepared & 2. A discount on your particular school you have the most prepared like gaining a Spell Slot a level lower than the one expended
@xiongray6 күн бұрын
Eventually, you could alter your Spell list to manipulate effects on the fly, like imbuing Spells onto equipment, weapons, & armors like an Enchanter with Magical traps.

They could have condensed an actual Wizard subclass. Nonetheless, it works for half the wizard schools for DLC.
@xiongray6 күн бұрын
Two schools of magic specialists was already in the works in 2014; Eldritch Knight with Abjuration & Evocation, and Arcane Trickster with Illusion & Enchantment. I homebrewed two subclasses that followed this design for the other martial classes; Spellblade Barbarian: Transmutation & Divinations, and Monk: Conjuration & Necromancy.

Two things we do at our tables is 1. evry player has their ac passive perseption and save dc (if they have one) written down and facing the DM so the DM never has to ask if something hits or check if a monster saves against a spell ect. Speeds thing up no end 2. When playing a campain at the start of each session they players are asked to volunteer to do the re-cap of the previous session (in exchange for dm's insperation). As a DM this really helps me judge what the players are paying attention to, what plot hooks stuck with them,NPC's they find memorable ect.

We use #2 at my table as well. It works great and if there's a Bard in the party they can get really creative. The first campaign in 5e we did, we left the recap to our bard who we always twist it comically to make himself the hero. It was hilarious. I like #1 even more. I usually just have those stats written on the inside of my DM screen, but I think your idea is easier to manage. I'll have to try it.

It's on the op side and a lot of tables ban it. I simply fixed it and allow it at my table. First fix is to bring its action economy back to reality. Simply made it so Unleash consumes your echo. Second fix is to scale down their mobility. Costs half your base movement not justva flat 15'. Easy fixes that still leaves a lot of power but brings it back to a more reasonable level.
