[JBE] What Player Options Do You Want To See?

[Dale McCoy Jr]

Last year, we asked what levels need more adventures. While we are working on adventures, we are starting to plan our player options. Tell us what you want to see and share with us your ideas as to what you want to see in the comments below, and be sure to check out what we already have in the JBE Shop.

My biggest problem with 5E, compared to Pathfinder, is the drastically smaller number of options many characters get. Fewer spells known/per day, lower amount of equipment, lack of independent feats, and so forth. Thus, every choice I make for my character is more important... and because I have fewer of them, it's a bit harder to justify choices for fun.

So far, I'm most interested in non-spell class options, such as the Warlock's Eldritch Invocations. In particularly, I like options that give useful passive effects or at-will powers, and I dislike options that compete with other limited resources (like Invocations allowing you to cast "with a Warlock spell slot").

Completely fair. This just means that when we produce new class options everything has to be a "must have."

I don't know that "must have" is quite the way I'd describe it. If something is so good it's the only thing somebody would want to take, that's too much. XD If we want to go by the way lots of online guides rate things, though, I'd suggest trying to focus on options that are at least "green" - a good choice for most characters in most situations.
