i was wondering how people have approached the metamagic sorcerer ability called careful spell. when it comes to an instantaneous effect like a fireball, i think careful spell is pretty cut and dry. however with something like web or stinking cloud where the effects linger or you might not...

im having some existential crisis over identify. to me it seems like once a player gets a hold of a 100gp pearl then all mystery is lost. not to mention cursed items just seem silly as none would stand up to the inspection of identify and therefore never be attuned with. of course this is...

i am not sure what you mean. druids do not get temporary hit points when they wild shape. they have two separate pools of hit points, they assume the hit points and hit die of the beast form they transform into and they track their original hit points separately in case their hit points are...

much better or more suited to a particular type of build? any warlock (or character) can have temporary hit points. but having temporary hit points that might help you to avoid concentration check would be incredibly handy in extending the life of your spells if you were a more melee oriented...

hello all, we have had some debate at my table about how the concentration mechanic works in conjunction with temporary hit points. concentration checks are required whenever the target takes damage. the question is if the target has enough temporary hit points to cover all of the incoming...

just so you now, my might comment is referring to the quote from the book that keeps getting thrown in, pg 164 (emphasis mine): "If you have more than one spellcasting class, this table MIGHT give you spell slots of a level that is higher than the spells you know or can prepare." that is all...

might - past tense of may - expressing possibility if you will note that ANY spellcaster, full progression or not, MAY choose to take spells of any level as they advance, even if they have a 9th level spell slot they MAY take magic missile. your example from the book is merely expressing that...

you are accusing me of the same thing you are doing, so i am not really sure how to reply. the original poster asked about optionally changing the way classes receive the bonus attack feature. i think it is fine. as for multiclassing spellcasters, the rules are also clear as i have laid out my...

yes and they also say that you MIGHT not have spells for your new high level spells and they also reference in EVERY SINGLE SPELLCASTING CLASS ENTRY that you can learn new spells known of a level appropriate for the spell slots you have AND for divine you can prepare of a level appropriate for...

and as i noted with the previous thread, you would also be getting things as a full progression fighter or paladin that a split progression fighter/paladin would not get. either progression is always going to be six of one and half dozen of the other.

hey journeymanmage, i think you are spot on, unfortunately it seems that the those interested in replying on this post would never even fathom anything but the most literal understanding of the rules. i dont think it would be over powered at all, especially considering that your example of a...

your understanding of the entry is different from mine, and that is ok. please do note, just so there is no confusion, that it is not as ironclad as you want it to be. the entry merely says that the table MIGHT give you slots for spells you don't have of that level, as with every spell caster...

yes, you are correct in your quotes, and then as your quote from the multiclass section notes, reference the individual classes: bard pg 53 "The Spells Known column of the Bard table shows when you learn more bard spells o f your choice. Each of these spells must be o f a level for which you...

that is actually a misconception. multiclass spellcasters can still learn (or prepare) spells of a higher level even when they multiclass due to them gaining higher level slots by combining spellcaster levels. you will note in every classes spellcasting description that if they have a spells...
