The rules for jumping in DnD are pretty simple. Unless a creature has a feature that lets them to something interesting, you have a maximum jump height/distance, and that’s all.

The Unarmed fighting style in dnd is not useful enough to justify the resource cost to get it, especially on a monk. Use that resource to get something which will have a bigger impact.

Ranger and Rogue can be a great multiclass in dnd, but beast master is a difficult subclass if you want to multiclass.

DnD’s Dhampir species is back in Astarion’s Book of Hungers. It’s pretty similar to the previous version, but they made an impactful change to Vampiric Bite.

Jack of all trades builds generally suffer in dnd, but they can be useful in small parties with limited capabilities.

Line spells in dnd are bad as a whole, and the fact that the game pretends that lines are as good as other AOEs is absurd.

Alignment in dnd is pretty simple, but many people still get the basics wrong, which gives them a mistaken impression of what alignment means.

Saves at high levels are a big problem for players in dnd 5e, and that appears to be a side effect of conflicting decisions made early in 5e’s design.

The 2014 dnd artificer works fine in the 2024 rules, and we don’t need to spend a bunch of time hacking it when the official updated version is right around the corner.

DnD’s new Circle Spells are pretty simple to cast, and their effects are absolutely crazy.

The 2024 DnD rules removed resistance from non-magic weapon damage. It had an unpleasant impact on the 2014 rules, so I’m glad it’s gone.

The fundamental math of DnD 5e stays on track all the way through level 20.

Multiclassing DnD’s Barbarian and Sorcerer is really hard because they get so little value from the other class’s features.

Expensive material components can be an important limitation on spells in dnd 5e, but the no-cost components for most spells are basically just flavor.

Sometimes designers get stuff wrong because they’re working in siloes, but a lot of times things don’t make sense because designers are experiencing the game in totally different ways.

Fixing spellfire requires reimagining what it is and how it works narratively. Right now, it’s Calvin ball.

DnD 5e’s odd list of skills is the product of gradual consolidation of skills over the course of several editions.

I love Pathfinder! Comparing and contrasting 5e and PF2 is both fun and informative.

The new Enclave Magic feat for DnD makes you even better at working with beasts. Sure, you can replace the impactful parts with Find Familiar, but should that stop you?

The new Cold Caster feat for dnd is fire.

Typing that made me feel old.

Dragonscarred is such a cool feat, I just wish that the ability scores for the background/feat combo made worked together at all. DnD is not a game built for you to have high scores in several abilities.

The current lack of background options is more of an issue than the way that backgrounds work. As we get more options, the restriction will stop being frustrating and it will become more interesting.
