Evolution of the Fighter: DnD Next to 5e (pt 1)
Audio readjusts at 2:00, it's my first time using OBS sorry! This video is about the history of D&D Next through the fighter. I track how the fighter class changed through the DnD Next playtest process and why design decisions were made. I was inspired by Matt Colville's History of D&D One Fighter at a Time series to make this. I used the playtest packets, official videos/pannels and Legend and Lore articles from the now defunct Wizards message boards; had to use the wayback machine for that!
In this video, I cover:
The Early Design Goals
The 1st playtest packet
