    Way of the Pistol Monk. Is it balanced?

    I'm going to be playing in a Wild West themed game soon (I'm so excited!) and I found this subclass online. I want to make sure its balanced before I commit to it. I have already gotten then DMs permission but I figured a quick balance pass couldn't hurt. I just don't want to break anything. The...

    Building a Fighter 2/Barbarian 8, just need a little advice.

    As the title says. I'm coming into an old campaign that's already high level (I posted about this like, 6 months ago or something like that but I didn't realize that campaign was going on hiatus for a new one. It's actually starting back up soon) and I'm making a Half-Orc Fighter/Barbarian. The...

    College of Swords spellcasting focus question

    So I know that they can use a weapon as a spellcasting focus, does that confer any other benefits? I'm almost positive I read buried in some thread on some forum this lets them add any bonuses from having a magic weapon to their spell attack rolls and DCs, but now I can't find anything to back...

    Re-joining an old campaign, 8th level, Paladin of Conquest

    As the title says, looking to build a Paladin of Conquest. Seems like a really fun way to play a more tactically taxing Paladin, and I can do a lot with the concept story-wise. Plus its been years since I've tried playing an evil character and I want to give it a go again. Thinking Variant...

    Eladrin archer type: Bard or Rogue?

    Howdy friends. I'm making a new character, level 1, standard point buy with no bells or whistles. I'm picturing this character as a sort of whimsical trickster type, who's good with a bow. I'm torn between Bard and Rogue, and I'm not sure which I want to go with. I like Bard because of all the...

    Putting together an archery build, could use some advice

    As the title says, putting together some kind of archer. Starting at level 1 (ugh) and working my way from there, so whatever I stat up is gonna have to be decent at all levels making this a bit more difficult. I'm used to starting at higher levels which gets me out of some of the growing pains...

    D&D 5E 5e character died, may she rest in peace. Looking to roll up something new and fun

    Howdy howdy friendos! So my character died, blessed be her eternal soul. She was a Hexblade Warlock 2/Divine Soul Sorcerer 6, and she was perfect. Solid healer, respectable damage output, and damned near unkillable until the DM made me trade out Shield for something else (I'll miss you 25 AC!)...

    D&D 5E Statting up a new 5e character, Paladin/Sorcerer, needs some help fleshing it out

    Ahoy! This is a new character for a campaign I'm joining. They had a member drop out, so I'm filling in the new opening. The party is currently 6th level. I really love Final Fantasy jack of all trades Red Mage types, and this seemed like a pretty interesting and effective way to build a gish. I...

    3.5e E6 game. Experiences? Advice?

    Ahoy ahoy all! I'm going to be running a 3.5e game soon for a bunch of new players, some have played a bit here and there, some not at all, but nobody besides myself has any real experience with 3.5. I was considering making it an E6 game after reading about it and seeing a lot of rave reviews...

    D&D 5E Looking to make my first 5e character, feeling pretty overwhelmed and looking for help

    Ahoy ahoy! Title says it all, here. I've been reading threads and guides and articles for two solid days now, but the more I look into things the more I get confused. I'll confess I don't really know the rules super well, but I'm an old 3.5/4e vet so I know most of the terminology pretty well...

    Woe is me: Character choices

    Hello hello! Long time 4e fan, first time poster. I'm having some trouble deciding on what to play in an upcoming 4e game. It's starting at 4th level, and I think I may be suffering from option overload. You know, when everything sounds good so nothing does? The same thing happens when I try to...
