I am going to be playing a Kobold in an upcoming campaign going from level 10-20. The character is going to start as a Swashbuckler 2, Ranger 2, Whispers Bard 5, Divine Soul Sorc 1, Her stats at level 10 are S8, D16, C12, I8, W14, CH18 and she has the Fey Touched feat. She is mostly a Rogue...

Scimitar of Speed: "You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. In addition, you can make one attack with it as a bonus action on each of your turns." The way I read this is I get to make a bonus action attack with it regardless of what I do with my action. So...

Playing a Winter Elandrin Glamour Bard with a Feylock Warlock dip in a 1-20 (actually 3-20) campaign. We are starting at 3rd level after our 3rd-level party TPKed last week. She is currently a Warlock 1/Bard 2 and starts as a Warlock. The plan is to go to level 6 Bard, then take another...

Question came up in combat Saturday in a game I was DMing. Once someone is stabilized at 0, how do death saves and damage work? For the purposes of this discussion lets assume we are not doing enough damage to kill by damage alone. Here is what happened in play: Grick surprised a 3rd level...

There are a lot of similarities and thematic ties between BG DIA and BG3: Refugees, references to the blood war and Zariel, the Dead 3, Duke Ravenguard, Hell Riders. The Refugees flooding Basilisk gate in particular is identical to chapter 1 of DIA. That said they can not be happening at the...

I've never seen this feat used in play, but I was reading it and I think it is going to be WAY, WAY powerful: Prerequisite: 4th Level, Spellcasting Feature You have learned to channel your magic through a deck of cards. You can use a card deck as your spellcasting focus, and you gain the...

Debating Elven Accuracy (Charisma) vs Shadow Touched (Cause Fear-Charisma) on my Shaddar Kai Paladin 1/Arcane Trickster 3 on level up to Rogue 4 Stats before level up - S13, I8, W8, D16, C12, CH17 She has a 17 Charisma which she would boost to 18 either way. Going forward she is going to take...

So the situation is a character with the mage slayer feat is standing next to an NPC who casts the invisibility spell. Pertinent verbiage from the feat: When a creature within 5 feet of you casts a spell, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that creature. When you...

Initially I did not think much of this spell as it is unpredictable and when I am using a spell slot and my concentration I want to know the effect I am shooting for. Also the effects are not as good as other spells of this level, in particular hold person and arguably web. However as I look...

What prompted this is tonight's game. I am playing a Drow Eldricth Knight 8/Undead Warlock 2/Paladin 2. She is mostly a melee controller using blade cantrips, Form of Dread and War Magic with a Divine Smite or Wrathful Smite thrown in there occasionally. Shen got EB and Hex at level 2 (F1/W1)...

I am working on my build for my next character (probably start playing late march or early April). This will be a 1-20 game and might be one of the last 5E characters I play if my groups all go to ONE. The character is not going beyond 4 levels in Rogue so no uncanny dodge or evasion. She...

In play I have a Drow Eldritch Knight with Dispel Magic. She attacks with her first attack and triggers Shield , Can she action surge, cast Dispel Magic on the shielded enemy and then make her second attack without the shield in place? I am not sure what the rules say about this. I know you...

I am currently in a game with a Glasya Tiefling Arcane Trickster 3/Glamour Bard 6. I am considering what feat to take at Rogue 4. I rolled really good abilities overall, but with only standout. Current abilities are S12 D14 C10 I12 W13 CH20. She already got the Fey Touched feat with Hex...

So I have always liked the idea of a melee DPR Paladin-Rogue with sneak attack. A player had one very early in 5E, and it works but I have always fell short on a build with it because it is so MAD and Rogue levels for sneak attack means not enough smites and Paladin levels mean not enough sneak...

Eldritch Strike wording: At 10th level, you learn how to make your weapon strikes undercut a creature's resistance to your spells. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, that creature has disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes against a spell you cast before the end of your next...

So I think the general consensus is that Mage Slayer is not a great feat and generally worse than an ASI and I honestly only saw it on one character until last year. Last year is the first time I took the feat. I put it on a Shaddar Kai Zhentilar's Finest Fighter in a 1-20 campaign at 19th...

So situation is Dissonant Whispers is cast on an enemy in melee. Enemy fails his save and uses his reaction and movement to move away, triggering an AOO from someone who has Warcaster and Booming Blade. Said Warcaster character hits with booming blade The creature takes damage from the...

What school do you thing Raistlan would be as a 5E Wizard? Some random thoughts: I could make an argument for War Magic. He does seem to be a generalist vice a specialist and he is in wars a lot. He served as a Mercenary along side his brother early in life. Later in life (earlier in time)...

I have a 1st level Drow Fighter S16,D8,C12,I13,CH17. Right now she has blind fighting fighting style and uses a Lance and a Maul as her primary weapons, with handaxes she can throw. I plan to take a Warlock Dip next level, not sure which subclass though. Will pick up GFB and Eldritch Blast...

This came up on a multiclassed PC today who has extra attack and the Sorcerer Flame Blade spell. He wanted to cast Flame Blade and then use it with extra attack. When we told him he couldn't because the Flame Blade attack is a special action, not an attack action and it is a spell attack, not...
