I think in the case of Warlock it is because the first try was overwhelmingly negative, similar to making every mechanic a spell with Wizard. I think that is why they gave up on it. Not sure about Sorcerer. I think the things they tried to "save" were things that were more popular .... or at...

Thematically maybe, but mechanically these subclasses are nothing alike. These were my favorite two Warlock subclasses using the 2014 rules, but the kind of character I was building and the kind of campaign I would want one vs the other was very different and it is rare that one of these would...

No it is 13 Dexterity, and the Heavy Crossbow has the same requirement. Also even without the Dexterity you are at disadvantage at long range anyway.

Yes, you are correct. It is situational, but I think generally the Crossbow will be better at level 8 and below and I really like having the 400 foot range on a Heavy Crossbow. At level 9 you get the ability to sap, push or slow with a shortbow, while you still can't Vex with a Crossbow...

I used to get really stuck on names, then I started using Virtue names and transliterated Arabic words and now it is pretty easy for me to generate a name.

Reloading does not require a bonus action.

You fire it once using Truestrike, then throw a dagger with extra attack, then throw another dagger using nick. At 11th level you add a 3rd dagger into the mix and at 17th level a 4th dagger. At 7th level you are looking at 1d10+1d6+2d4+5+3+3=25 damage assuming a 20 Charisma and 16 Dexterity...

Eh probably the flying castle in Tyranny of Dragons.

I like the build, the only thing I think you might run into issues with is it is bonus action heavy. I also prefer a heavy crossbow for a ranged weapon on this type of build. Back it up with dagger. At level 7 that would look like Truestrike-Crossbow, Dagger, nick-dagger, you lose the...

I am with you on this. I saw all the D&D movies and HAT is the only one that actually feels like an adventure. They almost made parts of it a bit cheesy in that way. It also may be part of why it wasn't a big hit and in fact underperformed.

The first time I did not cut it out, I linked the entire post. I cut it out and qouted it so you could explain the context to us. You did as a point of fact say it, and you can't articulate any other context you meant it in. If it is out of context why can't you explain for us what the...

My pick would be Undying Warlock with Agonizing Truestrike.

Yes I do. In fact it is a reply to something I said where you quoted me, and I what I am claiming is not out of your intended context when you wrote it. If it is out of context, explain what context we are supposed to take it in when you say: "It is RAW, though, that the hit that brings you...

I'm sorry, I am not complaining and did not intend for it to come across like that. I don't think any Rogue or Ranger or really any class can 1v1 a Noble Prodigy at level 9 with a good chance of success. If I was going to try I would probably do a Bladesinger with Mage Slayer feat, but that...

This is what I don't like about a Paladin, they really emphasize the martial side of the character. I think if you want an Archer you should play a Fighter. Not saying you can't do it with a Paladin or a Ranger, but that just doesn't feel like what those classes should be about to me. I am...
