Of course, I just didn't know it was reprinted, nor did I know about the PHB errata. I've been checking on the UAs but I haven't been active on EN in a while, so I didn't know. :)

No need to be nasty. Hexblade was in UA before XGE.

Page 56... from what book? Obviously not Unearthed Arcana, as I was quoting from. Indeed it's easy to miss if you're not looking at the same source. :)

The Hexblade subclass itself lacks any mention of Pact of the Blade and does not place any limits on what weapon you can use, but the Hex Warrior feature does, as I pasted above from UA 20170213. It only allows you to add your Charisma bonus on one-handed weapons, but does not prohibit you from...

Penis magic missile guy would fit right in with the DM who introduced me to D&D in high school, with his custom magic items like the boner ring (self-explanatory) and wand of pubic error (makes the target's head hair into pubic hair), and Charisma score being inextricably linked with breast size.

Since the ranger was originally just a serial-numbers-filed-off book-Aragorn, and movie-Aragorn was pretty close to book-Aragorn, he's a no-brainer to me.

Not sure what you're getting at. Assuming Hex Warrior is the reason to go with Hexblade Warlock in the first place... Hex Warrior At 1st level, you gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons. In addition, when attacking with a melee weapon that you are proficient with and...

I know the Pact of the Blade doesn't limit the weapon, but doesn't Hexblade limit you to a one-handed weapon?

I wasn't, but I only ever played one character in 3.PF that would stoop to engaging in melee (a dwarf cleric), and I guess I was fortunate to never be exposed to the cheese by fellow players either. You're right, I was thinking of Combat Expertise. Silly me. That is lame. Clearly I have a...

Speaking of bugbears, where are they statted up as a PC race?

I'll give you Whirlwind Attack, but the other feats don't buy much for the polearm wielder in particular. Combat Reflexes - Allows you more flexibility in fighting defensively. Nothing that benefits polearms in particular. Did you include it because it's a prereq for all the other feats you...

Link? If a spear is now a polearm, it might be worth giving up 2 average damage (which you could make up by taking the Dueling style, and the shield more than covers losing the Defense style that I would normally recommend). You're giving up GWM since a spear isn't Heavy, though. You could take...

Well, a spear isn't a polearm...

While this is true, I think it's worth the trade-off, especially with PAM allowing you to take OA when they enter your reach.

Most people consider Jedi to be closer to monks than paladins. Also, for most of D&D's history, paladin == LG, and I consider Jedi to be more LN as a whole. Yeah, they're supposed to be the good guys, but a lot of the time they don't act all that good ("I'm not here to free slaves").

I'm currently playing a 4th level human battlemaster with a glaive and it's a lot of fun. I took GWM at 1st level, but I probably should have gone with PAM instead. PAM allows you to use your bonus action to attack every turn, and the Riposte maneuver allows you to use your reactions as well...

Throwing a horse blanket over a wyrmling grants them random SLAs now? I didn't know that, forgive me. Perhaps you couldn't have foreseen they'd do something like that, but that's beside the point. They didn't do something that required you to look up spells you weren't prepared to use. Agree...

No, it doesn't mean every DM needs to railroad. You just need to be reasonably prepared for what the players could reasonably be expected to do. Unless your players are the kind that might say "Fvck it, I'm gonna plane shift to the Happy Hunting Grounds!" in the middle of a dungeon (and by the...

Sign me up for the Save Space team. If the DM is using the monster, he should at the very least know what all the spells in the adventure he has prepared do. How many threads here complain about players who don't know their characters? "Sauce for the goose, Mr. Saavik"

I would dispute this. Granted, any spellcaster could use metamagic, but I think only a spontaneous caster could truly take advantage of metamagic to meet immediate tactical needs. Who has the foresight to know when you're going to be bound and gagged, for instance? To me, it's quite obvious...
