I have played more Fey Wanderers than any other subclass in the game. I think the ultimate single class Dragon Cultist build is probably a Aasimar Fey Wanderer. Fey Wanderer is one of the best controllers in the game in tier 2 and tier 3 and can be the best face in the game bar none...

Wand of Fear is what would be #1 on my list, Wand of Paralysis probably #2.

Sure, but that is only one inspiration - so one reroll. Just seems like a lot for minimum gain. Also keep in mind it needs a short rest recharge to use it again, so unless you can go in frighten someone, come out and short rest, go in frighten someone, come out and short rest ..... If you...

One issue with it on a Warlock is the Wisdom save, and it is also once a short rest. A better choice might be the fear spell. Also, although this is a neat trick, Invisibility does not work well with the Frightened condition, so you are spending a lot of resources on two things that are...

A few moments: 1. Playing a 13th level Goblin Enchantment Wizard, we are getting our but kicked in the campaign final battle. I misty stepped right up next to the BBEG and broke my Staff of Power. I killed myself, didn't kill the BBEG, but severely weakened him to where the rest of the party...

Recently with DALL-E I've had a bunch of images blocked for being "unsafe content" An example is the prompt: Female Aasimar warrior with yellow eyes and blond hair Anyone else having these issues and know how to resolve it?

We are looking at the best backgrounds vs the worst aren't we? The best background for this provides Strength and Constitution (and feats which I am not even using). You claimed that the ASIs you get with the background are almost irrelevant, but you won't let me use the best two backgrounds...

No, but both of them would show little change in party effectiveness if I tested them in a group of PCs who were unchanged. In terms of measurables, they would actually be pretty close if tested as you propose, which illustrates why this is not a good test method. I don't have a simulator. I...

It wasn't my example, I just provided the actual math for it (and the 7hp Goblin).

No it is not. That is the party effectiveness, not the individual players effectiveness. Is a paralyzed player still effective because the party wins 99% of the fights without him? I mean the party effectiveness didn't change, so I guess paralyzation does not change the player effectiveness...

So being paralyzed all the time will barely register anywhere? I mean the rest of the party is carrying the load right! If you evaluated a paralyzed player against what the party can acheive, especially a big party, this is what you would get. The rest of the party are not constants. If they...

Ok here you go, No feats at all. 1. Four 2nd level Fighters vs 2 Ogres (this is your example) with 15 Strength and 15 Constitution, 2 with Longswords (AC19), 2 with Greataxes (AC17) in close melee and random initiative order: Chance of TPK: 2% Chance of 3 downed fighters: 5% Chance of 2...

Using a cherry picked 1damage vs 2 damage example you provided.

I edited the post you replied to as I may be talking about different things. Evaluating how a party does in combat is not an effective measure of the effectiveness of a player unless all players have the trait you are evaluating. Here is an example - If my player is completely paralyzed...

That example, as unrealistic as it is, shows a pretty darn big difference.
