    D&D 5E (2024) Weapon mastery tweak.

    So most of the complaints I've seen about weapon mastery is about not liking the fact that you need to swap weapons, especially when they get a magic longsword. So here's a simple houserule to fix that. Weapon Mastery When wielding a weapon which you have weapon mastery, you gain the weapon...

    D&D 5E (2024) Circle Casting is gonna break a lot of games

    You you absolutely can pick between a few options each attack. A level 5 barbarian can use a Warhammer to push, club for slow, and then nick with a dagger. All on the same turn. Every turn. Also, I don't see any issue if you just "swapped grip" on your weapon in place of swapping weapons...

    D&D 5E (2024) Ranged Builds Thread

    Thief, IMO. Climb speed really helps a ranged build. Being hidden with expetise in Stealth is easy. And that gives advantage on initiative and your first attack. So that really undercut Assassian, especially without scaling the damage. Similarly, arcane trickster isn't going to have many...

    IMO, if your within 30', your not really ranged. That's more like "long reach". Semantics and options I know, but if they can walk up to you and still attack on their turn, your not "ranged" Hand crossbows with Sharpshooter would quality. Or if you added Slow. Immobilize, or difficult...

    Or cast before a long rest and make sure do your combats in the morning. Possibly cast before a short rest if you have a Warlock / Sorlock

    D&D 5E (2024) Bringing Back A Prestige Class?

    With feats and subclasses, there are enough ways to customize characters. No need for prestige IMO. Ranger could be a feat anyone can take. Ranger: +1 Dex, Str, Wis, or Con *explorer: gain expertise in nature and survival *hunter: you can cast Hunter's Mark at-will. You can also cast it on tracks

    How does Prolong stacks with Sorcerer's Extended metamagic? Can we get 48 hour spells?

    once you can hit everyone in the room, extra size (or range) doesn't help. And in my experience, Spirit Guardians can hit everyone most of the time. Expanding it might save a Disengage or Dash now and then, but not usually worth the cost IMO. Extra duration however, turning 1 minute into 1...

    D&D General Poll: How many Role Playing Games do you play besides D&D?

    Only D&D, at the moment. Certainly would play any of the other ones if I had opportunity.

    everything is at the DMs discretion. well I don't have the book... so no. I didn't see where it says NPCs need higher level slots. That helps prevent some abuse.

    D&D 5E (2024) Circle Casting is gonna break a lot of games

    No. It's an 8th level slot (upcast to target 5), and a few hired NPCs before you the night before ylj leave town. Might as well toss Longstrider, Aid, Feather Fall, Blink, Death Ward, Regeneration, and Foresight while you at it. Possibly others non-concentration buffs I've missed. Then take a...

    it's going to be rare to use in combat. But giving the party 24 hours Freedom of Movement at the end of the day can set you up for tomorrow's dungeon crawl. Or 8 hours of Haste, Spirit Guardians, or Fly. Moonbeam or Flaming Sphere for 1 hour is much more useful to drag between combats. Long...

    right, I was thinking warlock 5. I have one of those in my game. no, but it's still damage your adding. Just indirectly. (Or more likely being used for AC boost) You can always go bladelock 6 first if that's better at low levels. Then warlock 2 will be at 2 beams when you get it. Or go...
