    D&D 5E Using shields with two-handed weapons

    Link in LoZ had a move where he would use the master sword with two hands while his shield was strapped to his arm. Shield was useless during the maneuver. I think there is niche for a buckler and a tower shield. Buckler perhaps gives a +1 AC and you can hold an item in the same hand, but...

    D&D 5E homebrew subclass Rogue:Thug

    Versatile weapon is a bit too broad. It doesn’t make sense to have a sneak attack with a halberd or other heavy weapons. I also agree that for a front line build, it’s a little squishy. Would an extra +1 hp/level be overpowered?

    D&D 5E Making Sneak Attack allow more weapons

    I think the issue here is that it makes sense that a rogue would be able to sneak attack with some weapons not on the list, but it needs to be balanced to avoid abuse. Allowing simple weapons brings up images of a halforc thug wielding a great club with both hands, a dual wielding dwarven...

    What’s my build path?

    I love the ability with GWM of an extra strike on criticals using the bonus action. I’m not too concerned about the +10 for damage as I realize with the -5 to hit it’s not gonna happen that often

    What’s my build path?

    Others in party can give advantage. Seems like best path is fighter 6 hex blade 3, but the order of levels taken is debatable. Doesn’t come online until level 9 :(

    What’s my build path?

    I want to create a great sword wielding character who uses the great weapon master and elven accuracy feat. Somehow gets 19-20 crits. A way to buff my attacks. Not MAD. Is this character some type of hex blade with fighter and / or paladin? Build at the lowest level to achieve the above...

    @Salthorae Obtaining two weapon fighting via 1 level of fighter will give that off hand weapon +7 damage.

    Optimization help

    My big concern is other characters outpacing my character as far as Melee output. Other martial characters are getting two attacks per round while my character is only getting one and possibly a second to a bonus attack. The bonus attack damage is pretty weak hence I thought about picking up a...

    I’ve created a Str based Barbarian 1/Thief 5 dwarf who fights with returning hand axe and a +1 short sword. He also has an item that gives him an extra Reaction so he is able to tank well with rage and use uncanny dodge twice per round. I don’t see the game going past level 10-12. My...

    Str barb/rogue ASI help

    I want to get the opinion of some of the optimizers. Mountain dwarf Barb1/rogue4(thief) s16 d14 c16 i10 w12 cha8 who use shortsword and shield, halfplate and flings a hand axe (dm allows me to sneak attack when thrown). Thoughts on what to take ASI or feat? Considering boosting strength or...

    D&D 5E A maladroit rogue?

    Thenmatically, it would be nice to use dual hand aces(which are effectively short swords) and light hammers(which are effectively daggers) for sneak attack for your mountain dwarf rogue, but it would violate RAW. I was toying with this concept with an inquisitive so my cunning action could be...

    A light hammer would work flavor wise as I could have him throw them. Effectively as good as a dagger....

    D&D 5E Newbie optimizer help requested on Dwarf Str Rogue Inquisitive

    I was looking at a short sword and a hammer, as it's light and can be thrown... I realize that rapier is the most optimized, but for flavor reasons, I see hand ax, short sword and light hammer. Agree on breast plate. With dex would be 18. Not too shabby. Wanted to see if it was a viable...
