The poll specifies "caster character". I didn't think there would be enough information if the poll tried and separate by class and level.

So, as of May 19, I have 63 responses to the poll. (Percentages were rounded to whole numbers.) 17 (27%) I haven’t had to make any, so zero 15 (24%) zero failures 11 (17%) one failure 6 (10%) two failures 14 (22%) three or more failures One of the big mistakes I made was allowing the real...

I was looking at data for playing a character: "the last caster character you played". When you put down results for the whole party it kinda throws things off. Lall, I was wondering how many you failed in three game sessions, regardless of the number of checks. Thanks for asking.

If you are not positive, just put your best guess. This will help me answer one half of my overall question about character priorities. Note: getting the poll function to work as intended was tricky in the past. Hopefully I won't screw it up. Edit Note: The poll cut off the rest of the...

I've seen in a couple of threads that the utility of the cleric spell list could be better with metamagic applied. Unfortunately, I've not seen any mentions of the noteworthy interactions. So, I think I will start a thread on the topic. Revivify (twinned) saves on the 300 gp diamond material...

Warlock 1, Sorcerer x ? I have been putting a lot of thought into a Sorcerer / Warlock. I was leaning toward a Hexblade 1 / Sorcerer X build. (Well, technically, if I somehow got to level 19, my last to levels would be warlock, but for the sake of simplicity, Hex1, Sor X is a better...

(Not trying to be a smart-alec here) the advice in the Wizard class guides is extensive, detailed, and generally agreed upon.

Your guides are always good stuff. Here are my thoughts: Forge Domain - This looks very attractive for the Cleric1/Wiz X; not so much for the searing smite, but for the AC boost over other cleric domains with heavy armor proficiency. Maybe it isn’t exclusively Dwarfy themed - I’m about the...

My group doesn't sweat the issue. We do any of the 3 options in the PHB (Point buy / Array / 4d6-L ). Each campaign each player picks. The preference seems to be to roll, though.

Thanks for mentioning it. If it was based on level of ending adventures, then a person would also want to know the starting level, to get a range, and that sort of thing isn't possible - even though it would get us a lot more information in shorter time. I hope that with enough responses of...

Sometimes people say that the very high levels don’t matter very much because people don’t play them often- I usually don’t. Also, while reading forums, I might skip reading posts about high-level characters, abilities, modules, etc., because I doubt that those situations will occur in my game...

I kept track of innovative methods people were using for stats in the thread, “Point Buy vs Rolling for Stats “. I gave up on the thread on page 27 of 192. I made-up some names for the methods, in bold, for formatting and quick references. Add a comment if you have another way to generate...

I thought it would show the results after voting. Hmmm. It doesn't look like there is an option to change the original poll. Perhaps I will delete and try again.

I see this as a good way to help DMs know what their players like. This could be useful for DMs who don't have a regular group of players. If I could put multiple polls in one topic I would. I'd be interested in the differences between player and DM preferences (Do DM's feel safer without...

Please answer about your favorite method to get your stats. If I could create multiple polls, I would look for a difference between the preferences between DMs and players.
