    D&D 5E What the warlord needs in 5e and how to make it happen.

    I am not sure this is the correct warlord thread to comment this, but I have to pick one or start another, and the second option really seems a bad idea. The warlord seems to me a risky class to invest into developing because it causes so much controversy. And I am not saying it because of the...

    D&D 5E Valor bard - fighter

    If all you want at that level using the specific class combination you presented is to fire that many arrows, you can take swift quiver as a "magical secret" for you instead of haste. In this case, you might not take the crossbow expert and just use a longbow for increased damage and range. For...

    D&D 5E Sleet Storm vs. Magic Flames

    To me, the intention is to douse burning flames, so I think it should not interact with instantaneous destructive effects like fire bolt, or fireball at all. On the other hand, I would definitely let it interact with control flames, from EE Players Companion, as the spell manipulates a flame...

    D&D 5E Feats, class balance and fun

    I do not inform openly the AC or HP of monsters during game, but I do expect my players to have an idea on the probable HP and AC range of most monsters, as we have been playing for so long. Also, I do expect them to be able to evaluate overall difficulty to hit (AC) just by "looking" at the...

    D&D 5E Feats, class balance and fun

    It is just an anecdote, but a barbarian with reckless attack using GWM as often as he could is something I have had at my table. He was really a heavy hitter, but didn't ruin everybody else's fun, or required me to design encounters specially taking him into account, and definitely did not...

    Favoured - Deficient System

    Sorry, my communication skills are really not very great. I should have first asked how would you allow players to choose which number to put on each stat and how would they proceed to choose which stat is favored or deficient. I think you just managed to answer what I was asking. The stat...

    Favoured - Deficient System

    I like the idea overall, but there are some points one should be aware of. If you assign the favored and deficient stats pre-roll, that would also seem to mean needing to have stats all pre-assigned too, right? Some players might not go with that. If instead, I allow them to first roll 4d6...

    D&D 5E Radius AoE also on walls?

    I, as a DM, would definitely allow, as long as the surface is suitable. First because I won't need to change anything on my interpretation of the rules to accommodate uneven terrain, if something would change the orientation of gravity, or something weirder were to happen. Second because the...

    D&D 5E What new classes do you think we need?

    Now imagine them demanding the other players make their PCs treat them nicely in game, "cuz Ima so KEWT!!!!"

    D&D 5E I hate rapiers. Do you?

    You mean in real life? With my vast armchair experience with fencing I would never suspect that. Interesting!

    D&D 5E 5e Warlord Demand Poll

    I guess I have experience some of that, though in a very different sense. :hmm:

    Favoured - Deficient System

    Oh, that would be quite useful for additional comments.

    Favoured - Deficient System

    Is it meant to start as rolling 4 dice and drop the lowest then adding one die and dropping another, or was the initial idea to just roll 3 dice and then add these extra dice? For the later option I would fear the possibility of very "deficient" scores for the deficient ones. For the former, the...

    D&D 5E Is there a missile weapon version

    Top all that with the cleric Divine Strike feature at level 8 (the minimum you would need anyway for the three feats as a variant human), that you can only apply for one attack per turn, but you will probably have two (booming blade) attacks in different turns, during the course of one round.

    D&D 5E I hate rapiers. Do you?

    Also, it is the only d8 weapon allowed for defensive duelist feat.

    D&D 5E is this nova makes sense? op?

    You chose a quite conservative assumption for hit chance, based on what was already discussed. spartanah mentioned somewhere upthread that they intend to use it in conjunction with devil sight (which seems to imply also using darkness), and also that they plan on taking an initial round of...

    D&D 5E is this nova makes sense? op?

    I was just legitimately curious. And I seem to have botched my search skill. Thanks for clarifying. Strange thing though that this invocation mimics a feature from another class but is more efficient.
