UA 2023: Player’s Handbook – Druid and Paladin Breakdown

Brandes Stoddard — Sat, 25 Feb 2023 20:55:50 +0000

January was a hell of a year, but we’re back with a new Unearthed Arcana for One D&D in the tail end of February. This time we’re looking at the other two Priest-group classes, the Druid and the Paladin, as well as more revised spells and some significant changes to the Rules Glossary. Character Origins | Expert Classes | Cleric & 3 Revised Species | Druid & Paladin No obvious changes in the opening boilerplate, but there’s a document-wide easing off of capitalizing like […]

Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything Breakdown, Part Four

Brandes Stoddard — Thu, 04 Feb 2021 13:00:25 +0000

It’s been several weeks, but today I’m back to continue this series, in which we dig into Tasha’s Cauldron and find out just what she put in that soup. Monk’s subclasses, while common in Rentonese cuisine, are not often to be found in Washington, D.C. (I’m also covering paladins.) Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four Monk There are four new monk features, all of them extra stuff (that is, no replacements). Dedicated Weapon at 2nd level might represent the […]

Oath of Justice – Paladin Sacred Oath – D&D 5e

Tomás Giménez Rioja — Wed, 30 Dec 2020 14:00:56 +0000

Thumbnail art by HyunJoon Kim Oath of Justice The Oath of Justice has paladins settle on being the law, or the impersonation of it. Law and order go hand in hand, and it’s these paladin’s vision that with a system, there is justice. No matter the end results, there is a reason for the law and everything it involves to exist, and they must be abided. Paladins who swear this oath are often seen as people to look up to, […]

Character Spotlight: Sassa the Lorehunter

Kevin Victor Rae — Tue, 01 Dec 2020 15:10:15 +0000

I’ve recently become obsessed with creating characters on D&D Beyond. I lovingly craft them, going back over feat choices, spell selections, equipment, and more until I reach a point of madness because these characters will likely never see play. All the new options in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything have only enhanced this habit. In this new series, I’ll be spotlighting some of the characters I’ve made and highlighting why they seem like fun to build. Some might be optimized to […]

UA 2020: Subclasses, Part 1 Breakdown

Brandes Stoddard — Wed, 15 Jan 2020 06:15:46 +0000

New year, new Unearthed Arcana – this time bringing us four new subclasses. We have the barbarian Path of the Beast, the monk Way of Mercy, the paladin Oath of the Watchers, and the warlock Noble Genie Patron. I am excited to dive into this! Just, uh, be aware that I will be throwing in some jokes along the way. The jokes don’t mean I don’t love this material – it’s not intended as mockery. Barbarian: Path of the Beast […]

UA: Class Feature Variants Breakdown, Part Two

Brandes Stoddard — Wed, 06 Nov 2019 00:24:38 +0000

Hey, have you already checked out the first article in this series? It’s full of (commentary on) great stuff like new Battle Master Maneuvers and new Fighting Styles and even, technically, a few things not mainly for fighters. No matter how much I treat this “second half” as if it’s an equal portion, though, I’m covering the big news here. PS. If you’re one of the incredibly kind people who has talked on Twitter or elsewhere about how much you look […]

Unearthed Arcana: Bard and Paladin Breakdown

Brandes Stoddard — Fri, 20 Sep 2019 12:00:19 +0000

Another Unearthed Arcana already? Honestly didn’t expect this gift, and it makes me suspect that there’s a big announcement coming for the first half of next year. In this round of subclasses, we currently have coverage for barbarian, bard, monk, paladin, sorcerer, and warlock. Not bad! But it’s hard to think that they wouldn’t round that out in the near future. Barbarian and Monk | Sorcerer and Warlock | Bard and Paladin College of Eloquence If you can’t dazzle […]

Brief Description of 5e Classes and Subclasses (Ideal to Show to your Players), Part 2

Tomás Giménez Rioja — Tue, 15 Jan 2019 14:00:10 +0000

“New year, new me”, as the phrase says. It’s about time you create a new Player Character, be it for a new campaign, or to archive in case you have a spontaneous chance to play it. However, with the great variety of classes and subclasses that exist, it’s really difficult to choose. What’s more, subclasses can enormously change their perspective on the class, making them more or less interesting for you. After surfing the web for a while, I could […]

Pathfinder Second Edition Playtest Breakdown, Part Four

Brandes Stoddard — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 12:00:41 +0000

After last week’s trifecta of spellcasters, this week I’m back to a trio of warrior-types: the fighter, the monk, and the paladin. By coincidence, this is also a History of the Fighter series entry, though I’ll call it Part 10.5 so that I can save Part 13 for, you know, 13th Age. It is a petty vanity, but there you have it. Sure, okay, History of the Monk and Paladin too, but I thought I had put those to bed […]

Sacrificial Power and the Oath of Binding

Colin McLaughlin — Thu, 22 Mar 2018 16:19:01 +0000

Work on the world of the Zodiac and Far Realm continues with a bit of lore and a 5e archetype for paladin. The Oath of Binding is meant to represent paladins who seek out the dark items and creatures of the world, and seal them away to keep the world from harm.
