DnD “Gish” Subclass Huge PROBLEMS 🤦‍♂️ on full casters
Channel: Funky Dungeon Master
Date: 2022-07-06

The Gish-intended subclasses on full caster classes usually end up being played as a tanky spellcaster instead of as a spell-sword hybrid character. In this video, I explore why and propose a way to fix that in future Gish subclass design:
It's not enough to give the subclass weapon options, we have to take away some ranged spellcasting capability to encourage the gish playstyle as well!

I'm an avid consumer of D&D optimization content like Treantmonk and RPGBOT. And I want to use that knowledge to make the game more fun for optimizers and non-optimizers alike.

By making all the player options balanced, I hope to remove trap options for players that don't like to worry much about the nitty-gritty game mechanics. Also, when all the player options are roughly equivalent in power, we can worry a bit less about picking a powerful option and more about which option brings out the flavor we want.
