86. Too Many Words, Make Book Longer
Episode description
On this episode of Total Pebble Knockdown:
There has been more UnEarthed Arcana from Wizards of the Coast looking at updates to the One D&D character classes. We picked three we liked and get to discuss them on this episode as Wizards will be looking for feedback later in August.
The UnEarthed Arcana for One D&D - Unearthed Arcana Playtest - Unearthed Arcana - Sources - D&D Beyond (dndbeyond.com)
We were a little unsure about the changes One D&D was proposing for Druids, mostly around how Wild Shape had changed. Luckily, playtesters had the same concerns and huge changes have been made. We’ll go over those changes and also the subclasses where we find out why Circle of the Moon is still so good.
Nathan really likes Bards. The new playtest material makes some important changes to Bardic Inspiration and also a welcome change to Cutting Words that makes him happy. Also, we get the College of Dance which is kind of ridiculously good.
Alex has played a Ranger once or twice and frankly, the class had some problems in D&D 5E. One D&D has the possibility of fixing that and we look at some of the new changes that have been made. We also see the new subclasses, including the Beast Master which gives us… oh, look, the Beast stat blocks have returned!
