Hi there, It all started from a tongue in cheek oneshot that evolved into a fully fledged campaign. I'm playing an 11th level Eladrin Artificer 2/Pact of the Chain Hexblade Warlock 3/Fey Wanderer Ranger 5 My invocations are Investment of the Chain Master and Devil's Sight and my go-to infusions...

If your DM is handling short rests proterly - 5th level of bard for Font of Inspiration seems very tempting. After that I'd go for 5 levels in sorcerer to get haste and the ability to twin it (you can share it with the rogue or barbarian and the paladin will have a haste of his own plus a nice...

As a war cleric you already have reliable sources of minor action attacks with both access to Spiritual Weapon (please note that it does not use your concentraion) and the War Priest feature. The biggest asset of polearm master will be the fact that creature will provoke AoO when they enter you...

Two-weapon fighting is completely different thing since it provides more chances to hit and thus more chances to trigger an on-hit effect (like sneak attack) or to kill a severly wounded enemy. It is also a bit underpowered for classes other than rogues, but that is another question. It IS NOT...

It requires a hit with the main hand so it totally does not equates to an automatic hit with an off hand weapon every turn. It adds 4.5 fire (easily resisted) damage to your main hand attacks, while dueling style adds 2 damage and allows you to use a shield in the offhand and everyone with...

Except this is not true. Bonded accuracy is the precise reason why 4 out of 6 saving throws are failed more often against specialised opponents rather than "basically failed". It's at ability of 8 and a proficiency of 0 vs. an ability of 20 and a proficiency of 6 that the d20 stops providing...

If you think that the player is doing things that are unsuitable for a paladin, then it only make sense that the other paladins in the setting do the same. This means that the alcohol in your setting is not evil (bad and evil are different things) similar to how undead for example are evil. The...

Depends on your plot. If I were you - it will hatch a bit after they have stopped believing that it will ever hatch :)

I beg to differ. Having the average numbers of buffs acitive on a single PC at the same time past lvl 10 being in the high twenties has been one of the more dusgusting thing for me in 3E and 4E had the sustain mechanic in place that was aiming to do the same thing as concentration (it just did...

1. NPCs don't follow the PC creation rules. 2. Solo enemies in a white room rarely make a memorable encounter. Put some magical menhirs that he can transfer the concentration of his spells to and that will keep raining thorn and thunder on the characters unless they shatter/dispell them. Make...

I don't really like the unresistable Charisma damage on hit... what does it represent?

And the cleric refused to use weapon when it made sence to use a weapon or the warlock refused to use spells when it made sense to use a spell? If you want your players to use something else than cantrips - them give them situation where using something else than cantrip makes sense.

Sounds good. How did you limit the fighter only ever swinging his sword and the ranger only ever shooting his bow? Weapon attacks are too powerful for weapon attacks, don't you think so?

I would just base my next story arc around it rather than worry too much about balance. The resistances and immunities are not much of a problem - don't use enemies who are capable only of dealing the damage types he is immune to and it will be ok. Even with his resistances he won't be able to...

With unlimited melee attacks why do you need to pick a lock or beat down a door? With firebolt you don't cook meals, you destrow them. Ray of frost rearanges the ambient temperature to achieve its effect so is no more usefull in cooling down an overheating room than opening the door of the...

5е is not really a good system for heavy social intrigue due to the binary nature of the social interaction. Published adventures are not really a good source for heavy social itrigue due to the sandbox tendencies of such interaction. War of the Burning Sky is pretty good if you readjust some of...

It's up to your DM really. The Animal Companion is admitedly we least well though part of the PHB core so some flexibility there is more than neccessary. Adding proficiency-2 to the DC (and the damage) of any special attacks seems the most logical step and giving the animal proficiency in one...

Strikers are useful when the tanks have a notable mean to punish enemies for going after the strikers and then there are high priority and low hp targets among the enemies for the strikers to go after.

Bounded accuracy is the best thing that has happened to the 5th edition. Proficiency, expertise, advantage and god forbid a magic item bonus are more than enough for a character to start being able to try much harder things and realiably achive things that were hard for him at the beggining...

Currently playing 3.5 Eberron. 5e homebrew and 5e heavily reflavored homebrew sci-fi setting. Our 3.5 game is starting to show the inability of levels 10+ to make sence in the Eberron setting and switching to 5e will make perfect sence if not for the fact that not all of the character will be...
