    D&D 5E Rynic's Homebrewed Monk Archetype: 'Way of the Sands' aka 'The Time Priest'

    Hello Enworld! I'd like your opinion on my newly made Monk Archetype. I've always wanted to make a class with powers themed around time manipulation. Here's a PDF: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwzFIENjcD0YSmFGQWc3dkpwV1U/view?usp=sharing And here's it originally on homebrew natural crit...

    Hill Dwarf Storm Sorc/Tempest Cleric build help needed.

    I made a Wild Magic Sorcerer that was a Hill Dwarf. His stats were. 8 Strength, 12 Dexterity, 16 Constitution, 12 Intelligence, 14 Wisdom, 14 Charisma. (14 +2 for con, 13 +1 for wis) Dwarfs don't need strength for heavy armour. For me, the intelligence and wisdom was purely for role-play. It's...

    Don't have a twitter. I really don't want to create one, but I guess for science... Arghh. The f'n word limit!:mad: https://twitter.com/Rynic2/with_replies

    D&D 5E Rynic's Metamagic Compendium

    How should I word it? 'Can Distant metamagic be use on some spells with a range of self? If they have a distance noted in brackets in their range, for example Thunderwave (15-ft cone) but not Detect Magic, if not will this be errata??'

    I get that, but my only concern is that there are a number of spells that could be written in the same way, for example, Detect Magic has a range of self but it doesn't have radius 30ft in brackets in the range, instead it's mentioned in the body. So, there are spells that say 'Range: Self (15ft...

    Highest DPR at Level 1?

    The problem is GWM gives a penalty to hit, when adding the +10, a severe penalty at level 1. If you're assuming a player can hit 100% of the time, then I would go Warlock, using hex combined with a non-proficient battleaxe or greatsword. If you still stand by GWM, then include that. I've seen...

    Here you go Blue, I'll post it in the top too. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwzFIENjcD0YQXFqYmhBRGpNYVE/view?usp=sharing

    D&D 5E Rynic's Metamagic Compendium

    Here's a general overview of Metamagics, the hidden spells, the surprisingly powerful combos: Careful Spell: Everyone knows that save or suck spells work best for careful spell. Spells that require a save to prevent every bit of damage. Careful spells last as long as the spell does. Although...

    Optimized Kensei Build

    I meant the opportunity attack from coming within reach. Also, the butt attack is part of the Kensai weapon meaning it too scales with damage. Note: The butt attack also has reach. Reach is powerful for a class that is very mobile.

    Cleric/Fighter build

    Honestly, I wouldn't dip Fighter. It will delay your spell slot increases. You have all the armour and proficiency you need. (You get medium armour and simple weapons, which you won't need to use as Sacred Flame is better) The light Domain is far more offensive than defensive. The flares are...

    Optimized Kensei Build

    Great Weapon Master isn't that great. -5 especially with a not optimised Dex, means you won't be hitting anything. Magic Initiate, taking hex (or hunter's mark if the DM will allow you to forsake the full caster requirement) -if you should take it at all! The AC is pretty much wasted. 16 dex...

    D&D 5E Rynic's Metamagic Compendium

    It was a pain in the bum, and I'm sure there are lots of mistakes, not just grammatical ones. Not sure is you can empower a spell, as it continues. For example Witchbolt. You can empower when casting it, but can you do it on the following turn? Same with the 'Investiture' spells from EE. The...

    D&D 5E Rynic's Metamagic Compendium

    Hello Enworld! I created a spreadsheet with every Sorcerer spell and every other class's spells, with Metamagic for comparison. (I added the Elemental Evil and the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide Spells!) It was incredibly tedious work, so I may have missed something obvious or mucked it up...

    D&D 5E Selecting the Simplest Sorcerer Solution

    I regret using baked in because I thought it was self-explanatory. The Wizard's proficiency in Wisdom is nice. It's very thematic of the strong, disciplined wizard. The Sorcerer's Constitution proficiency is very practical. 'We want him to hold on longer with his spells and against things that...

    D&D 5E Selecting the Simplest Sorcerer Solution

    Sorcerers have very little "baked-in stuff." I mean the constitution proficiency for helping with Concentration checks, the Wild Mage's Tides of Chaos, Bend Luck, the Dragon Sorcerer's extra hit point per level, mage armour, damage increase, elemental resistance. All of these are geared towards...
