That's another question. How often do paladins cast spells in 5e? By reading around, I thought that spells are mostly used for smites and just a couple of spells. Are "casting paladins" viable? I don't think we are the best party there is out there. Barb-Pally-Warlock-Sorc.

I took a look at Sentinel. It seems very good, but how common are opportunity attacks in 5e? It's not a grid-heavy system and has less "rules" for it compared to Pathfinder. Do they still happen a lot? Feats give some flavor to the game. I'm kind of an old-school gamer, so stacking bonuses is...

The stats were rolled, we don't use point-buy. The finesse thing doesn't suit me in terms of role-playing. I'll pick an oath of vengeance and I don't feel the rapier would be suitable. It's not a mechanics thing, it's fluff. As I said, I've never played 5e. Is getting the main stat to 20 the...

I would like some help with my Pally. This is my first 5e character (played mainly 2-3-3.5 and PF) so I'm not sure if I'm doing a good job. Race: Human (Variant) Level: 1 Stats STR 16 +1 from Variant 17 DEX 12 CON 12 INT 10 WIS 12 CHA 15 +1 from Variant 16 1st level feat -> Heavy armor...

I kind of like Precise Stike, Paired Opportunists and Outflank in combination with the Solo Tactics which means my friend don't need to get the feats. I have a question for Shake It Off though. Benefit: When you are adjacent to one or more allies who also have this feat, you gain a +1 bonus on...

I put some ranks into Spellcraft just in case, haven't decided about Domain and the last feat yet. Any advice on Teamwork feats? I have no experience with them and with the Solo thing I think they could be helpful.

Thanks guys for your help. Some clarifications/questions: @Herobizkit Actually I know the other party members, but without wanting to sound selfish I had already envisioned my character as melee based. Also I chose a military god of FR. As I begin in a relatively good level I put one rank in...

I'm currently building a human Inquisitor and I need some advice. His stats (beginning at level 8) are: STR 16 CON 16 DEX 13 INT 10 WIS 16 CHA 10 He will have a two-handed weapon and after reading various guides and posts I'm wondering if the following feats will be useful: Power Attack -->...

That could work. Expertise is really helpful for paladins or multi-classed fighters too. Another concern I have is "spell concentration". I don't like the 3rd edition skill or the whole defensive casting. On the other hand, always losing your spell if you are hurt is not good either. I found...

:p No, it's not a matter of the Edition Police. I wonder if implementing directly the skills system from 3.5 would work in practice. That's why I'm asking about the PO Skills and Powers system. The campaign was set in FR so I'll keep it there. PS I must say that for me the weapon...

I always liked 2nd edition. Maybe because I grew up with it or had a great time while playing, who knows. I also still think that despite its shortcomings, it had some good concepts and some advantages over 3.x edition. However I didn't open this topic for a comparison. Along with two of my...
