    D&D 5E (2024) Rogue abilities help

    it's also never a good option, even if you want to be the guy with all skills. you get 2 skills from background, probably 1 from species, 4 from base rogue, that gives the feat 8th, 9th and 10th choice in skills. I have yet to see this feat get taken in any game that I play in last 11 years...

    D&D 5E (2024) Rogue abilities help

    yes. I am talking about giving rogues extra d6 at those levels on top what that they have now.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rogue abilities help

    looks like the rogue needs default boost in sneak attack damage at levels 5,11,17 instead on relying on these kind of shenanigans. add extra +1d6 sneak damage at levels 5,11 and 17.

    D&D 5E (2024) What Rare Item to Hand Out? Lvl4

    I'm going to advertise my homebrew item, hehe: https://www.enworld.org/threads/runestaffs-somewhat-new-kind-of-items-for-5-5e.689977/ gives lots of versatility but in reality little power as it relies on power you already have.

    D&D General The "Ease of Long Rests" as a metric for describing campaigns / DM styles?

    why bother to play any caster except warlock this way? that could be 15 to 1 ratio of Short vs Long rests.

    D&D General What would you do? (Example from my game)

    this can happen, and can be a good plot twist, but still a 5th level player is trapped in boot camp grunt gear. I would as a heavy armor user expect to have a full plate by 3rd or 4th level. Knight is a CR3 opponent and has a plate armor to loot.

    D&D General What would you do? (Example from my game)

    this IS the only option that would be viable, why +1 chainmail exists. +1 splint mail is just a full plate and extra bag of 2700GP extra properties could be nice, but then, you could give those properties to fullplate. in the end this is a 5E problem of over-simplifying armors that came from...

    D&D General [+] For (hypothetical) 6e: Which arcane caster class should be the "simple" one?

    this is not a complexity problem, this is "I cant be bothered to read half a page and understand" problem. no amount of simplicity will help those players. maybe throwing d20s at them every time that they forget EB could help....

    D&D General What would you do? (Example from my game)

    that is great. +X only items are boring as hell. but still, the new rules about small species and Heavy weapons, what is the point of having shortbow over longbow? you do not have 13dex? you dont need any bow.

    D&D General [+] For (hypothetical) 6e: Which arcane caster class should be the "simple" one?

    that is mostly for flavor. later, players may learn to exploit it. it's very simple. ranged option: single targets or clustered targets close range: 1 melee, multiple flaking melee or clustered close opponents.

    how is it complex? you have 5 different attacks that work pretty much the same. just flexibility towards targets.

    D&D General [+] For (hypothetical) 6e: Which arcane caster class should be the "simple" one?

    Elementalist: elemental ray. range 150ft, ranged spell attack damage 1d8/2 levels, round up. Pick damage type from Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, Poison, Thunder elemental burst range 150ft, 10ft AoE, dex save damage 1d6/2 levels, round up. Pick damage type from Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning...

    D&D General What would you do? (Example from my game)

    off topic; maybe this is a munchkin talking out of me right now, but I always wondered, why +1 chainmail exists? maybe as custom order from a weakling noble that is too frail to wear a full plate? why would someone bother to enchant piece of sh## boot camp grunt armor that gets replaced...

    use druids spell slot to heal who needs most healing(people at 1Hp) and make a break for it. Bunker somewhere in the wilds and then re scout the area before continuing.
