Gent general
Replying to sudo TPK #sylfar
In combat, yes, they're outclassed in every aspect, but not all D&D games are focused around combat. Thing is, rangers kinda suck in every aspect in 5e. Combat, skills, archetypes, anything that would make them unique, are just kinda crap.
Favored enemy is just so limiting as a gimmick, the animal companion is the only selling point, which Druid can do in a much more fun way

5e beastmaster ranger is probably the worst class in the 5e core rules.

except that monk is actually the worst class, and rangers are passable because of tasha's
That requires a splatbook. Isn't core rules generally defined as PHB, DMG, and MM?

no one sticks to just core rulebook
Honestly yea, I let my players grab from any official supplement. No reason to force them into a play style since I can just tailor the world around them.
sudo TPK general
Monk can be the worst class, or it can be pretty damn good. It depends what level you start at, what kind of adventure you're running, how dangerous the world is, etc

Unless someone is trying to powergame on the level of Pun-Pun, I allow for pretty much any official splatbook options, but what I'm saying is they shouldn't be that dogshit without core books.

Like Ranger would be badass in a death of magic setting with a lot of woodland travel and requirements for food and water.
Sorry, there's a lot of chat going on that I'm trying to process all at once. I meant that, at level 1, yeah, monk sucks, but if you're starting at a higher level in a campaign(I don't know about you, but I find it very difficult to run a single campaign all the way from level 1 to 20), monk can be very good.

Druid is a better nature boy, fighter is a better combat boy, rogue is a better stealth boy
Facts. That's why I had to specify no magic and I had to put them in their environment. The class blows but in the right campaign they'd be great. A fighter would be useless in strixhaven for example
sudo TPK general
Like how it used to be that magic-users were absolute dogshit for several levels, and fighters dominated, but once you get access to 3rd- and 4th-level spells(permitting you survived that long), your magic-users started DECIMATING the battlefield.

Just be 4e and everyone is both martial but mostly magical
If they had used 4e design for a D&D MMO, rather than what they use for Stormreach, that actually might be a pretty decent game. If you sped up the combat a bit, it might even be fun as a board game. But it doesn't feel like D&D.

Fighters be like “yeah, I’m gonna walk 40 miles in heavy plate armor with a long sword and 20 arrows”
A 1st level fighter wearing plate mail, carrying a longsword, bow, and quiver of arrows is going to have at least 15 strength to wear the plate mail, probably has good constitution and at least half-decent dexterity. A 1st level fighter is also SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than a normal human. a 10-11 in 3.x/4e/5e in an ability score gives a +0 modifier, but that's not the average for a normal person.

Rogues be like “I’m going to rob people even though everyone knows what a rogue is and looks like”
Do you only play with people that play complete stereotypes for classes? When I play a rogue, if I'm somewhere safe, I'm wearing normal clothes, or if I'm paranoid, I'll be wearing leather armor with baggy clothing over it. I'm not going to be trying to actively sneak around in a church full of people.
sudo TPK general
Yeah, by dictionary definition, a nigger is an ignorant person, and if we're bringing a historical context into it, it's typically directed toward black people.
sudo TPK general
I know this isn't Rob chat, but for all the shitty or stupid stuff Rob has made, he got it pretty right with the bandit thing. Eluamous hides in the bushes, while Schmoopy just tosses his gear in the bushes and puts on the beggar rags, and the bandits just walk past him, cuz he looks like he doesn't got shit on him.
sudo TPK general
Just because you're a rogue doesn't mean you have to walk around in leather armor all day, twirling daggers, slipping in and out of the shadows throughout town.
sudo TPK general
That's also why you shouldn't wear actual robes as a wizard in most instances, just nondescript clothing; any intelligent enemy force will see robes, a pointy hat, a quarterstaff, and charge right for the fucker.
