The difference between fireball and BB is that fireball has a duration of instantaneous, while BB has a duration of 1 round. So, you can be affected by multiple fireballs, as the durations don't overlap, but the 1 round duration of multiple BB do overlap, hence the riders not being able to stack.

That is true. While I'd allow the rider to stack in my game, according to the rules it doesn't in official play. Can't believe I forgot about that important bit about spells.

I don't think it would be as useful as you think. You won't be able to do that until level 10 (11 if you picked up a level in fighter as you suggested) at the earliest, and even then, you're burning through more than half your sorcery points for that 1 round. All on the hope that the target(s)...

The short answer is yes and no. The OA occurs when the enemy decides to move, but before he actually leaves his space. So, let's say you hit him with an OA BB. Because movement is worked differently in 5e (i.e. no move action, just move, even between actions, so long as you have the movement to...

A few reasons: Unless my DM allows me to use the Fractional Accounting rule from Unearthed Arcana, my ending BAB at level 20 is 9 instead of 10. My Dex is a +2, so even with touch spells, my attack bonus to hit anything is +4 as of right now, which is kind of low, even going for touch attacks...

Uh... No thanks. I really don't like Kobolds... at all... But I do thank you for the tip. Anyways, I have decided to play a Lesser Aasimar, boosting my Wisdom and Charisma up to 17 and 18 respectively, as well as making him middle aged, boosting all mental stats by 1 for the cost of a -1...

Wow, dude, thanks for the info on spells. Personally, if I do specialize, it will be in Transmutation, and yes, I will be a polymorph shenanigan caster regardless. Now if only I can develop a "Protection from thrown Dungeon Master Guides" spell. To be a bit more specific in the role I want to...

Alright, last gaming session, in a random turn of events where everyone forgot their job except me (Our wizard, instead of unleashing his useful spells, pulled out his longbow and could not hit the broad side of a barn...) my Crusader became a puddle of goo underneath a Hill Giant's club. Sooo...

As I'm not one for beating around the bush so to speak, I'm thinking about rolling a character for a new game one of my buddy's setting up. Now, I've seen and heard about fighter/wizards and fighter/sorcerers being among some of the more popular builds, so I wanted to try something a little...

It wasnt so much of a house rule as a DM oversight. He had misread the text in the book, and the character sheet wasn't helpful either, as it had you enter your bonus spells in the same box as spells known. Me, in a move of sheer brilliance, corrected him with the actual text from the book, but...

UPDATE: Thanks to all who have helped me so far, we had our gaming session last night, and I think I did alright. I didn't finish the encounter (had to leave early because it's drill weekend and I needed my sleep.) Didn't get to do any damage, but I had to choose between that or healing an ally...

After reviewing the Blade of Blood Spell, I guess I can see what you mean, though. I mean, yeah I can cast the spell with no damage to HP, but for only 1d6 extra damage, which, from what I've gathered, is a waste of a day's spell. Being level 3 with 19 HP, the 5 damage isn't all that bad, but...

My friend, while I thank you for your efforts to assist me in your previous post, please remember that I am brand spanking new to Dungeons and Dragons. While it is not explicitly stated in the above quote, the way I read it was that you inferred that I was a moron. That is like you meeting me...

Alright, I get it, I get it, though shalt not give up caster levels. Interesting feedback, though. I think I will drop Deific Vengeance, and replace Nimbus of Light with Blade of Blood, as I hear that's a useful spell. But I do like the other spell selections, so I might think twice about what...

Thank you for the welcome, it was well received. I will look at the Ordained Champion, as that might be worthwhile to consider. I was considering Sacred Exorcist, but as I use RP to dictate, or at least influence, any move I take in building my character, Sacred Exorcist wouldn't be a path he...
