For the sake of nitpicking, Lathander is an aspect of Amaunator... :-)

I was a little disappointed by the lack of specific races in the book. So I decided to do some reskinning! I am planning on playing a Dryad: they are iconic Ravnican creatures, and the Eladrin, with their seasonal changes, suit them to a T. The idea is that she was meant to be the leader of a...

It would be good to know what guilds people gravitate to. So, for the sake of science (and for the chance to talk about your character): Which guild is your next Ravnica PC going to belong to?

Ok. Even so, do you think that SCAG cantrips+duelist+shield is competitive against two-weapon fighting style for beast masters?

One for the number crunchers. I have been thinking about playing a ranger (the unearthed arcane version, obviously!) and, wanting to go for a relatively more unusual race-class combination, I was thinking of high elf instead of wood elf. Then I noticed: since beast masters never get a second...

Genuinely curious: what do you like about it? I cannot recall one single moment in my playing years where this would have come in handy. We always take watches in turn when the party rests.

These guys are obviously not sticklers for the rules, but they are clearly experienced players and storytellers. :-)

Has anyone else fallen in love with this show? I love that they are actually good and experienced players, after so many podcasts full of people who are just trying the game of the first time. And they are funny improv actors too...

218 contradicting posts later it seems like it' not that obvious after all! ;)

It very specifically says that you decide whether you are applying the effect when you attack. That means you would lose the arcane arrow if you miss. It's totally different form superiority dice, and a lot less powerful.

Is anyone else worried that the arcane catchers' arrow now requiring both a hit and a save make the subclass really underpowered?

I disagree with everyone who is saying they don't feel like paladins. Oath of treachery conjures up multiple classical figures for me, from lich king Arthas to lord Soth in Dragonlance. As for someone who read the original Oathbreaker and thought: "undead? Why?" I love having this option. The...

So, now that they clarified that Kensai weapons ARE monk weapons, what shenanigans can we pull off with this subclass? I am still dubious about it being worth it, except at early levels. As early as level 5 you'll be able to do one or two great sword attacks and one or two unarmed (pretty...

I posted this on the general thread, then I realised all the optimisers hang out here! Have people been crunching the dpr numbers? I have been considering playing a high dpr archer as a change of pace from my utility casters. I'm more concerned about mid levels, I'll never see the fighter's 4th...

In the name of fun, I begged them to compare the variety of options that fighters get with the ones casters get, in terms of giving fighters something more to do than "I hit it with my hammer). The limitations on daily arrows for the arcane archer was too much if that's what the character is...
