@tjfalcon1Strength of the Grave DC 5+dmg taken is a huge benefit, easy at low level, loses effectiveness at higher level, intentional?
yes – it's good for dealing with weenies, not so good for heavy hitters

Unearthed Arcana
Tunnel Fighter Attacks of Opportunity
@stevey @frasmageTunnel Fighter in “Defensive Stance” might have max number of AoO set at Dex bonus? Unlimited seems wrong. (idea via @frasmage) we'll see how it bears out in play – it seems really good, but mitigated since enemies have to decide to activate it

Gourgeous, no?
UA Ranger – Multiclass UA ranger with PHB ranger
@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford Could you multiclass the PHB ranger with today's Unearthed Arcana variant? #dnd #dnd5e #sageadvice

The multiclass rules aren't built for mixing the same class with itself. https://t.co/skRzO8ONGB

Why Rune Magic as Prestige Class?
@BarantorLove Runic magic but why not make different archetypes rather than a 5 level PrC? a prestige class is open to any character – other path requires strict class/flavor links. any class can master runes

Dragonmark same spell
@RChiesa07A question about the talent Dragonmark (UA) : If I already own the spell that the brand gives me I can choose another? #dnd5th I'd say yes

Mariner Fighting Style
@gaaran00bwhat classes are allowed the Mariner FS? Could I give it to a Swashbuckler? it's for any character with access to the FS feature. For the swashbuckler, maybe replace one of its higher level abilities

UA Ranger – Pet rule
@Tyger_BryteI get that need to balance a companion, but I think you should allow for pets in the game, regardless of class. (1/2) giving everyone access to pets and not trying to stack pet + PC = 1 PC is my preferred way to handle it. treat as extra PC
