Ranged characters work better for party comps with good CC. Being able to put a full-sized Entangle between the party and a dangerous enemy kicks ass, unless your party members all start scrambling through the weeds to thwack enemies with big sticks.

damn, someones got a grudge against monks at wotc. I remember my one foray into monk back when i played 5e was pretty miserable, now they’re becoming worse?

Assurance: Medicine precludes the need to roll altogether, and honestly is a near-mandatory pick for the tabletime it saves. You might save a little in-universe time by manually rolling with a high modifier, but unless your campaign is running at breakneck pacing, the difference isn’t worth the real time spent. Recall Knowledge checks with medicine are the only reason I’d want to manually roll, and Anatomy Lore covers a huge swathe of that subject anyway.

All that to say, ehhhh its probably fine to brew up that Medicine->Anatomy Lore feat. I wouldnt reccomend doing something similar for any other skills though.

i cant prove that im not, and actually prefer the ambiguity as to whether i am or not, eheh

Fucking love that my group is basically all the second guy. We’ve all taken the GM spot at one point.

The idea that familiars cant activate items is so arbitrary, I let them use the alchemist’s elixirs for them since that’s arguably the primary reason an alchemist would create a familiar in the first place. And fuck it, i’ll let them reload a crossbow too, why not.
