Hello all! I'm back! For a bit anyways. I've updated my main post to address the fact that I am revisiting the guide to incorporate the very significant changes Tasha's has brought to the Bladesinger. To summarize, the changes to Extra Attack make the subclass very strong. It provides a...

So I haven't spent any real time with XGE. At first glance, Hexblade obviously looks awesome. I've seen several forum posts where people complain about the Hexblade's power level, specifically as a one level dip since it's so front-loaded. I don't think it's that amazing. Hexblade's Curse is...

Sounds like a good time! Honestly, for something short at lower level, pure BS can often be more fun just due to the increased spell access. If you get a fourth level and aren't expecting to reach fifth, that fighter level could definitely be a better time though! All credit to TheBigHouse for...

Thanks for the heads up. I've double checked the file. It's definitely not in my trash. Nor is anything related in my trash. I've double checked the share permissions, and updated the link in the first post with a new share link from the document (didn't check if it was a different URL...)...

Hi all, Just a quick update. Several people have been maintaining the public copy of this guide. Thank you for your work, and for keeping things civil and clean in that document. Just a heads up that every once in a while, google inexplicably reverts the permissions on that document to read...

I noticed the Google Login for the first time today. On other services that have added Google logins, I've used that login with the same email as my old account, and it automatically switched the login of my main account to the Google Login. When I logged in with Google here, it created an...

I haven't been playing since Xanathar's came out, which I believe is where Shadow Blade was published? So none of that content is in the guide in any form. It definitely seems at first glance like it will synergize well, although the concentration cost may end up being too high. It will take...

Hi Broken One, Reading over your thoughts gave me another thought, which is that the guantlets are a good opportunity to go a feat heavy build. You obviously still need Int for your spells/AC and Dex for your AC/init, but if you want to focus damage, you can let those slide a little in favor of...

Hi Broken One. So first, I haven't played in a while and may be rusty. I'm just going to give my instinct answers on the specifics of your situation, and let my guide fill in the gaps. I think the guantlets are the really interesting discussion. And I think you've nailed the key point. You need...

I know whenever I'm ambushed my assailants are always carrying shovels.

The "minus 1" refers to number of d8's not the actual damage. At first level / damage tier it does no initial thunder damage (0d8 or [1-1]d8), and 1d8 damage on a move. Those each increase by 1d8 per tier. 0d8 plus 1d8 per tier might be a more clear way of stating the initial on-hit thunder damage.

Hey! Great guide! Haven't had time to give it a thorough read, but the amount of work you've put into it is very impressive. I'm editing my own guide's opening post to reference your work here. Just wanted to point out that it looks like the public editable copy you've posted has been moved to...

If there's an author accessible copy, it can just be put in a new google doc and the OP link changed. No emails should be necessary.

Same for me. If that's Google, it's awfully presumptuous... If that's WotC, it's a shity move. I think most likely some random person reported it and it got auto shutdown by a Google algorithm. Definitely unfair given there were no word-for-word copies of anything from the rulebooks in this...

I think this ends up depending a lot on your DM's style, and the type of campaign you're playing. I found myself in situations where it was fairly easy to predict combat (when the party is doing the stalking/infiltration, heard voices through the door, DM does a seemingly pointless scene...

If you read the multiclass section on spellcasting in PHB 164/165 you will see that at lvl 11 George gains his first lvl 3 spell slots (spellcaster level 5 = 2[BS2] + 3[EK9/3]). The EK section on spells known on PHB 75 states that a) "spells you learn at 8th... level can come from any school of...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to acknowledge that I haven't replied to this thread in several months. Work and my personal life have pulled me away from D&D for quite some time. I definitely won't be making replies any time soon to the majority of posts here, but it looks like you're hashing things...

For the record and readers reference: https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/status/836798221464797184 I will add the link to the guide in case new readers have the same question.

Limits the Attack Action it grants, but the Off-Hand attack is not a part of the attack action. It's an entirely separate action. "When you take the Attack action and attack with a light melee weapon that you're holding in one hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with a different light...

Extra Attack augments the Attack Action, it does not add an additional Action to it. Just because your Attack Action can only have one attack in it, does not change the fact that it is an Attack Action, and that is what is required to proc the Bonus Attack used for an off-hand attack.
