    Two Questions about the Staff of Swarming Insects

    Two questions about the Staff of Swarming Insects: 1. Can the Insect Cloud feature be dispelled? Since they are actually insects, I'm ruling this the same way as Animate Dead or a conjured creature and cannot be dispelled. Is this correct or no? 2. Since they're actual insects, can Truesight...

    Help With Dead in Thay ***Possible Spoilers***

    Hey everyone, DM here. I have a question about the gates/keys in Dead in Thay. See below. > > > > > I'm doing my best to understand the white and black gates, along with the Gate House and their teleportation circles. Honestly, I just need a better summary than what is listed in TYP. Can...

    D&D 5E How to Deal Uber Damage

    Both of those spells require concentration. I would rule that once you cast the second spell, the first fizzles out, and none are transformed.

    D&D 5E How to Deal Uber Damage

    1) Cantrips are always based on total level, not caster level. So 2d10 is accurate. 2) Agonizing Blast (Warlock Invocation) adds CHA modifier to damage. 3) I'm assuming 4d10 is either a crit or with the Quicken spell feature.

    D&D 5E Agility-based katana wielder: is it possible?

    I played almost this exact same character a few years ago in a Pathfinder Campaign. My DM and I worked out using an Elven Courtblade. 2H, Finesse-able, 1D10 damage. I suppose with a katana you could use it 1H or 2H. We went 2H only to avoid use of shield or offhand. It really doesn't...

    So, we were discussing DPR on Reddit. It appears the Warlock/Sorcerer build is not legit with Twin Spell, as Twin Spell only works on single target spells, and Eldritch Blast can be cast on multiple targets. It still works with Quicken, however.

    Sorlocks base damage is okay. 1d10+3 or +4, x however many blasts they have. But Hex is reliant on spell slots, so it's not always available. Same for Twin Spell or Quicken Spell. Those will not always be available either. True about Concentration. My Druid has the Warcaster Feat and I...

    D&D 5E How to Deal Uber Damage

    Well, than you shouldn't have mentioned the Sorlock, as they are limited by how many times they can use their metamagic feats or recall spells. Also, these summons last for an hour, and get stronger as the druid increases in level. Depending on how often they are targeted, they can last for a...

    D&D 5E How to Deal Uber Damage

    You're missing the lovely summoner Druid. A fifth level Druid can summon 8 badgers for an additional 16 attacks per round. Or 8 wolves for 8 attacks with Advantage + the possibility of prone. Or 8 giant poisonous snakes with pretty good AC and possible poison damage. Or 8 giant toads who can...
