when playing in totm, sometimes you have to gauge distances lol. everything within 5 feet is melee

i say 40 feet because if an enemy is 35 feet away, you'd only have to move 30 feet to attack them. 35 feet is within 5 feet of 30 feet. 40 feet means you have to move at least 35 feet to be in melee

i don't know where you're getting your calculations from but to say that at level 7 there is a deficit of 3 dpr is just wrong. yes you're doing more damage due to the adv, but only for the first round. the difference is literally .5 average, not 4. after that, they're still neck and neck with...

For a frontliner, i understand the need for ac but you dont need strength when you have dex and half plate + shield spell if you have warcaster added ontop of a shield. i think youre good on ac with that, tbh wrathful smite doesnt work with ranged attacks. a dm would probably rule that a...

if you're going to optimize for init, you should deprioritize str and just build dex and con. but putting that aside, 10 con is way too low that not even tough would fix. having a max hp of 164 (this is with the extra 40 hp from tough as well) would put you at risk of several monsters that are...

i mean its pretty easy to make using the flavor that the game gives you. they make it so that mercy monks have to wear masks and one of these masks shown in an example art is literally a plague doctor mask, giving me something to latch on to with the concept, and making a monastic order of...

I played an astral elf mercy monk who was a vigilante trying to control his powers to heal the sick and punish the wicked, ultimately with goals of becoming an eventual god of death. i don't see how "monk is Asian" affects the story of that, when he mostly uses daggers to fight. Saying that monk...

Terrible example, because 30 feet of movement doesnt mean "anywhere i want" RAW. to move 30 feet in the air you would have to have a flying speed, to move 30 feet in water without it being difficult terrain, you have to have a swimming speed. to move 30 feet underground, digging speed. You are...

booming blade uses a weapon attack yes, it is also a wizard spell you can use from the get go from the ek spell list you don't need to multiclass to use booming blade, when its already on the EK spell list. sure its not a ranged attack but it is still an offensive cantrip that doesn't scale to...

This is a weird hill to die on. its not limited to "eldritch knight subclass" it says specifically "your wizard cantrips" they didnt add an extra clause saying "specifically from this subclass" they just simply said "wizard cantrips" meaning it works with mc into wizard or with the magic...
