For people curious on the last 4 classes, Monk is Monday July 8th, Sorc the 9th, Cleric the 10th, and Bard the 11th

How do you go a whole videos showing spell art, talking about spell, talking about how the organization is easier BUT not even show a single example of how they will appear in the new books, just pick one that you know won’t change and show how it will look in the book

[CratthewF]

Really wish they’d have gone over more specific spells

[coolbitman]

Im hoping that some of theese spells helps the new ranger. WIth concentration getting eaten by HM i dont know if its possible but here im still hoping

[pedrostormrage]

11:18 Just having Mind Sliver as an official (non-optional) cantrip is already a win for me (which makes Magic Initiate(Arcane) even more interesting).

[comradewarners]

I know they recorded this before releasing Hunter’s Mark the class video, but the fact they didn’t even mention Ranger spell changes is worrying. It better be in the article.

[kylesousa]

What in the world are you talking about with Produce Flame? It's an action to cast, and when you cast it you can choose to throw it as an attack. Is no different from any other cantrips, other than you can choose to either use it as a light or attack with it, but it doesn't take more actions when you cast it

[lexistential]

this was 25 minutes of basically 4 spells

[diamondmx]

Couldn't make it all the way through this. It was really dull, mostly because of the lack of actually "new" spells in this video about new spells. Mostly spells that hop in and out of core books or extra books, and have done for decades now.
Not sure if you know this, but "new" doesn't mean "20 years old but we moved which book it's in and made minor tweaks to it"

[marimbaguy]

This is what I've been waiting for! I'm sure a lot of the marketing focus is going to be on buffed/new spells - and I do want to hear about changes to spells like Find Traps, Witch Bolt, Mordenkainen's Sword, etc. - but the most critical thing for the 2024 core books is that the OP spells get nerfed. Hypnotic Pattern, Simulacrum, Forcecage, these spells NEED to be reigned in or casters will continue to overshadow martials.

Bro. Why do they not elaborate on more in these videos…. Like they mentioned that super cool radiant storm spell and then legit said NOTHING about it….

[alexanderwizardjar]

cant wait for treantmonk to cover this in an hour

[shaclown]

I can't imagine people waited for this video to premiere, sat down and watched the entire thing live, only to be let down this hard...

[holden]

New Character speedrun tech just dropped: Your PC takes a shot every time they say "spell."

[Unbound_Shadow]

Hearing that they're adding more than 30 new spells immediately followed by we added a lot of new spells from other books that already existed, means there aren't actually 30 new spells. For a new edition being released, I'd hope for at least 30 actually new spells. Also, having seen the redesigns of the conjure spells in UA and commented on how much I hated the direction they went with it in the feedback, I hate how they said that we gave "essentially thumbs up across the board". The spells could have been interesting in flavor, but basically the spells just make circles of damage. A lot of the spells really just seemed like reskinned versions of existing spells, like one spell was almost identical to spirit guardians but for druids, which annoyed me.

A lot of the remaster looks interesting, but these spell changes have me worried. I feel like there's so much room for plant spells, water spells, etc. so I hope the actual new spells that get added can fill in some of the missing niches and bring new flavor and opportunities for players who want to play those kinds of characters.

[Kimmurial]

Going to call out the team here. They mention “new” a lot and then proceed to name spells from existing support books. Also they go on about changes to summoning but got rid of the conjurer wizard subclass. Bit sneaky.

[lumocite]

They better have buffed true strike. I'm tired of people clowning on me for using that spell.

[aulaurenceg]

“Reading the spell explains the spell.”

[Chaosmancer]

Wish there had been some talk on Wall of Force, it is one of the few spells I really, really want to see re-worked.

[echauz]

Polymorph nerf for higher cr creatures but a buff for lower cr creatures. Now you're better off polymorphing into an owl to escape rather clutching the fight by polymorphing into a trex/mammoth
