Say yes to the Runes, no to the Prestige

As I explained previously, I do not agree with the introduction of prestige classes in the 5th Edition system.  The added complexity of a prestige class with the various requirements that make character creation builds that must be anticipated from level 1 is something that I would want to avoid in the 5th Edition system.

Here is my specific analysis of the Rune Magic and Rune Scribe Unearthed Arcana, with a proposition of how to change such a great magic and class concept into working with the existing 5th Edition system.  Specifically, I believe this class would function exceptionally as an Archetype of the Wizard class, as well as additional Feats for other Wizards or those who do not wish to multiclass.

/r/DnDBehindTheScreen How to make a Great Bow

Combine the aspects of Longbow, Heavy Crossbow into one item for increased damage at the cost of increased requirements to even use, higher cost, fewer resources, less range than Longbow.

In case it isn't clear, it uses Dexterity for "to hit" and "damage" as it has the "Ranged" property.

Jade Ring of Consume

A tale told about a ring found inside Wave Echo Cave. It was being worn by a skeleton at the bottom of a pool of water.

This jade ring is made a snake consuming itself. It was created for a Yuan-ti priestess to aid in surviving her bizarre rituals. Simply donning the ring grants resistance to psychic intrusion and damage. Upon attunement, the ring tightens around the wearer’s finger with each snake’s fangs ever so slightly piercing the skin.

Upon reaching half of the wearer’s maximum hit points, the snakes begin to twist around the finger constricting rhythmically. The ring will now allow the wearer to tap into their very essence to sustain themselves.
