  • I think of them like melee cantrips. Not gamechanging, but they add spice to your basic kit and they can synergize really well with what you’re good at. One of my favorites is the soul knife rogue’s knives having vex. If you hit with vex, your next attack is at advantage against them, so it becomes a new way to proc sneak attack that incentivizes active participation, doesn’t penalize you and doesn’t rely on the positioning of allies and enemies both.


  • First, I found melee combat excruciatingly dull in 2014. While it’s not super different, the weapon masteries in 2024 add enough crunch and flavor for me to find it far more interesting and fun.

    Second, druid is my favorite class in terms of flavor, specifically specializing in wild shape, and ‘14 is probably my least favorite iteration of it. I think’ 24 improves upon circle of the moon immensely regarding mechanics and, even if the list of beasts is smaller, the streamlined design to their attacks makes them feel more potent as more than just a chunk of animal flavored temp HP.

    There’s also a lot of things that really should have been added earlier as quality of life. Off the top of my head, steady aim for rogues. Tasha adds it for '14 as an optional feature but it really needed to be the default.

    Also, cure wounds actually feels potent now. Healers rejoice, you have a reason to use it over the more action and spacing efficient healing word.







  • It was none of those things actually. It’s impossible to objectively judge our own artworks. We can analyze it, tell others what we think are the strong and weak points, but it’s extremely common for most people, especially when it comes to art, to judge it with a much higher degree of scrutiny that we do not reserve for others.

    It’s something I’ve had to work through myself, both with my art and myself as a person. And with that comes an inherent distrust of others opinions of themselves and their work, especially when it’s excessively dismissive or pessimistic.
