D&D 5E Finally

[jaden.shadowcraft]

Rangers in 5e

How do Rangers work in the PHB?
How is their damage compared to say that of the rogue?
How do animal companions work?
What creatures are listed as possible animal companions?
How are the Wood Elves in the PHB - still based on Dex and Wis?

Anything you can tell me about my beloved wood elf ranger would be appreciated!

Ranger favored enemy - advantage on survival against them and free language of your enemy - dificult terain ignored by party when traveling over land - tracking more info - fighting styles add to damage or attacks or ac - spells up to 5th level

archtypes chose from hunter or beast master - hunter +1d8 damage per hit usualy - beast master gets companion animal (players comes with hawk, mastiff and panther) verbal no action to command your animal.

wood elf dex +2 and wisdom +1 weapon training 35 foot walking speed and can hide when only lightly obscured by foliage

Thanks all for all the info so far

@ Brian Michaluk,

Can you plz tell me the half-elf abilities and how lay on hands works as far as ponts of healing

Thank You!

half elf cha +2 and any two +1 - darkvison advantage vs sleep and charm and free 2 skill proficiancies

lay on hands paladin lvl 1 pool of hp is level X5 uses an action you can split that HP up as you want as an action all day

About the Warlock, can you give me a example of Pact Boon or Otherwordly Patron feature?

pact boons at 3rd level pact of chain you learn find familiar and you can use your action to make yoru familiar attack - pact of the blade you can create pact weapons as an action in combat and can TRANSFORM existing weapons into your pact weapon. Pact of the tome, you get 3 cantrips from OTHER classes the otherworldly patrons area is waaaaay too long to type its very detailed.

Are the creatures in the appendix those that can be used as mounts, familiars and companions?

bat, black bear, boar, brown bear, cat, constrictor snake, crocodile, dire wolf, frog, giant eagle, giant spider, hawk, imp, lion, mastiff, mule, owl, panther, poisonous snake, pseudodragon, quasit, rat, raven, reef shark, riding horse, skeleton, sprite, tiger, warhorse, wolf, zombie

Anyone else find it a little odd that official WotC products are stating '... for the worlds greatest roleplaying game' just like 3rd party publishers generally do when referring to being compatible with D&D but not wanting to use that name due to trademark issues? Clearly not a 'real' issue, but something that just strikes me as a bit 'off'...

Monk's diamond soul still grant proficiency to all Saves?

yup AND you can spend KI to reroll

Thanks to all who have taken time to post answers to questions on this thread and share your access to the long awaited Playe'rs Handbook by doing so. I was wondering, how does spell progression work with multiclassing an eldritch knight and a full spell caster? I saw posts above that when you multiclass your spell slots are based on your overall level. Do you add your eldritch knight class levels to your full spell caster levels to determine how many spell slots you get per day?

this is really cool and balanced

spells known and prepared seperate for each of your classes

Spell slots are a combined level thing.

add all bard, cleric, druid, sorc, wizard classes 1/2 of level in paladin and ranger and 1/3 of level in eldritch knight and arcane trickster to get total multiclass spellcaster level - look at chart and find your spell slots per day which are used to fuel ALL your spells

you can end up with higher level spell slots than level of spells so they are used to overcast lower level spells like using magic missile as a level 3 spell giving extra darts.

pact magic has its own paragraph

Are you saying that the Paladin no longer needs a long rest to use it again like it was in the Alpha? Basically at will?
