    D&D (2024) What's the best way to build a bladelock now?

    I guess I should add, the single level fighter dip i think is ideal for a melee warlock, but you can definitely delay it till after level 5. Fiendish Vigor and Armor of Agathys should be plenty to carry you through early levels.

    D&D (2024) Just realized Sentinel is heavily nerfed! No longer works with PAM, no longer works on most enemies who Disengage.

    That's fair. I would consider all of those things to be extremely rare for enemies. But sure, if they have them that is correct. It didn't work that way in 2014 either. As an example: An enemy is 15ft away. You have a reach weapon and sentinel. The enemy disengages and moves such that he...

    D&D (2024) What's the best way to build a bladelock now?

    Random thoughts. My ideal 2024 Warlock is just straight EB + Control/Summon spells. At level 4 take Spell Sniper so I can fire it into melee. An early game Melee Warlock with Armor of Agathys and the False life at will invocation will be a beast. 12 Temp hp that you can replenish at any time...

    I mean we can't even agree on what the appeal to authority fallacy actually is...

    It never did. I just checked 2014 rules and the 5ft requirement for OA's on a Disengage action is there as well. I don't know that anyone ever actually played it that way though? The within 5ft of you was in my 2014 PHB. So apparently that part never worked with reach weapons. (y) You are...

    IMO. What would be more helpful would be an example of breaking into the house and what would be the minimum requirements to narrate the cook screaming for help.

    Looks to me like he’s citing a scenario. What the heck does it matter where the hypothetical scenario is from?

    Right, it hinges on the explanation, not the authority.

    But that’s not my claim. Maybe ask me about my belief instead of making silly assumptions about it?

    How the heck is this getting twisted into me saying anything about how Burning wheel should be played?

    Nope not going to happen. We weren’t talking specifically about Burning Wheel despite you bringing into the conversation as an example at an earlier point.

    Shouldn’t there be some kind of roll to detect the guards? Or is that not how DW works?

    I realized the irony about halfway through, but just like in d&d retreat is never a good option ;)

    D&D (2024) Just realized Sentinel is heavily nerfed! No longer works with PAM, no longer works on most enemies who Disengage.

    The disengage issue doesn’t even need a rule change. Just never have an enemy move 5ft away and then disengage. By and large I feel Sentinel and PAM were both buffed independently due to being able to combine them with super high accuracy and weapon masteries like push or topple. It’s just...

    It is, but that's okay. We apparently are not going to make any headway here.
