Why was writing invented so few times throughout history?

From what I’ve seen, writing was independently invented somewhere between 3 to 6 times. With so many languages and linguistic communities, why have so few independently invented writing?

No more than one level in any class; can you make it work?

Note that this is subtly different from the “one level in every class” thing; this is about taking your levels one at a time, starting from level 1, rather than a fully-finished level 13 concept.

Could this be at all viable? What order would you go with?

Is it just me, or is the ranger capstone still fairly underwhelming?

Like, I know it’s better that it was, and it’s probably quite strong mathematically. But… just getting to add extra to your attack and damage rolls doesn’t feel very cool flavor-wise or mechanics-wise. I’m a 20th level character; I want a power that makes me feel like some kind of demigod. Not something that just makes number go up.

I think it stems from a lack of class identity in the base ranger: nobody, least of all WotC, can quite decide what it should be. If your idea of the ranger is focused on having a pet, then an ability that helps with fighting monsters isn’t very good. But if you are a monster hunter, then something that boosts companion animals is useless.

So what’s the solution? Given that so much of the ranger’s identity comes from the subclass, I think the ranger should take a page from the paladin’s book (er, chapter) and make the capstone ability a subclass feature.

What's the oddest thing you've ever done in the Sims?

I realized my parent sim was going to die before his child grew up, so I had him build a Servo to become the child's new caretaker after his death.

Someone's gotta get this started!

I don't really know what to talk about exactly, so I guess just... how are you guys holding up?

I guess I should get this started - what is your favorite spell in D&D 5e?

I'm not asking the most powerful, but your personal favorite. Mine is Bigby's Hand; it's hilarious and I love it. (And since Mage Hand isn't concentration, you can have them both active at the same time and make them high-five!)
