I had high hopes going into the play tests that it would fix the jank of 5e and help make the game fun at all tiers of play for every class.
Hearing things that made it into the actual book and things that didn't is really stripping that hope away that the long feedback and revision process achieved desirable results.
It also doesn't help that I have a fondness for the ranger, as the first class I ever played years ago.
Ugh this one2024 bullshit just keeps getting worse and worse. It really seems like they just got high to write this stuff. Or ya know, made it terrible on purpose. I mean who. at all, requested these kinds of changes. They heard the playtest backlash and still do this dumb fucking shit. im just ranting
Got another fun one for you: Warlock spell "Armor of Agathys"? gives temp HP and deals retributive damage on any melee attack as long as you have temp HP. Doesn't care where the temp HP comes from. And the scaling is uncapped, so you can just permanently have it up and running, and dealing 5x spll level no save damage as retribution any time something attacks you.
DM: "Okay. Excepting that spell, then. Moving on…"
I can never understand the pearl clutching drama how about stuff like this. It's not like DMS are legally bound to never change any rules. This kind of thing is always a non-issue.
DM, who art in heaven; Hallowed by thy game
Edit: GUYS IT’S THE NEW VERSION OF HALLOW IT’S THE NEW RULES plz I’m dying
Hallow was a useless spell before tbh
Yeeeeep. Time to break this to the max.
"I choose fire and attack with flame blade at 8th level."
I've never been so happy to have switched to PF2e when the whole OGL debacle went down.
Clerics have always been best 👌 now they are nightmares 😂
Hard ass line
How many times did you use hallow before?
So what, makes the game faster and fun, screw slow paced combat
From my experience it's up to DM
So dont do that. The rules weren't handed down by god. They're guidelines.

The more DnD goes on, the dumber it becomes. Less exceptions and cases so to come towards ADHD people I guess. "Modern audiences" strike again.
Cast Hallow Fire Damage on a Fire elemental and then have The Wizard cast fireball.
Ranger: This is fixed?
Cleric paladin gets broken AF
This is by design. Working as intended.
Level 10, Enemies can all take their reaction to counterspell your once per long rest thing. Have fun.

3.5e, going back to 3.5e. I'll just have to hunt down all the books.
This is why I’m sticking to 5E
"he works for me now."
They sort of fixed it on dnd beyond. It now adds "except for slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning."
chose vulnerability to fire
The sorcerer: let me introduce myself
Prayer of Healing as well
I'm brand new to this so please bare with me. I've been voluntoldnto dm 😅 and I'm wondering why I can't just double enemy hit points
"God can't help you, He works for me now" gotta be one of the wildest bars of 2024
Dident you say that dont have a casting time and then that the hallow has a 24hour casting time?

I've been seeing a CRAZY amount of people legit saying "besides a couple changes (like this one) I'm sticking with 5e pre 24" 😂
I don't know if the spell was changed for 5.5, but in 5e hallow can't make creatures vulnerable to physical damage

The cleric worships no god, he instead worships himself
