yeah we kinda are. Personally I like it, it makes about as much sense as "you read a book and got magic" or "your deity gave you magic", "nature gave you magic" none of the magical origins really make much 'realistic' sense. Just like that much gamma radiation doesnt make you a giant green...

Personally I wouldn't have made polearm master's reaction be an opportunity attack, it ties it too closely with a core mechanic and makes it hard to balance things... That said as it stands any of your options except the terrain(too limiting and hokey) I would be ok with. Limiting it to say 2-3...

My real only issue with tunnel fighter is that it kills design space by being unlimited. If released as it currently is it would severely limit the kinds and power level of reactions that count as opportunity attacks. Now they've already set a small precedent with Polearm master that they can...

I'd be interested to see some oppositeish takes on paladins. Think Sky-net or ultron, they are tasked and oathsworn to protect humanity, but they see humanity as it's own downfall. Therefore the only way to protect humanity is to destroy it. Because the Oaths no longer come from deity's the oath...

There is almost no reason to have a high str and dex, you only ever use one for your to hit/damage. Even battlemaster stuff can all be str OR dex. Con plays a HUGE role in your overall hp, and especially if you are going to be taking the damage for your team it takes priority over str/dex. You...

That sounds pretty nice. Honestly I've never thought a full ranger was the best at being an archer. Fighters, rogues and even bards can do some crazy things.

In most cases your con save is going to be a dc10. You can't crit-fail on saves and you are proficient. So on an average save you already have a 55% chance to succeed. With a +3 con at level one that goes up to 80% success rate, and so on. War caster gives you advantage which basically doubles...

my earlier post points out why I think the warlock is out-of-bounds. To address the fighting style, I like the idea but it combines with sentinel and polearm master to create a scenario where you very likely NEVER get within 5' of the fighter, much less are allowed to pass within 10' of him...

Personally for gishes my choice is sorc/paladin or ranger(quicken is just too good). But if your question is wizard vs ek. Largely the question is what do you want? Ek will give you more base health but abj wiz will give you plenty of temp hp which is better. Ek gives you better martial...

If this has been addressed please disregard; I like the idea of the undying light warlock. Except that itt looks stupid overpowered. The level one abilty is better than the 6th level dragon-origin sorcerer ability(the main reason people play that sub-class). Also there's nothing that says you...

Just going to address this first because it literally made me face-palm. The reason that multiclassing and feats are used to optimize characters is because those are the only options we have for optimizing. Otherwise it would just be a 11fighter with a greatsword does 22.5+3*str avg damage a...

I can't imagine not multiclassing, it just feels so wrong, restricting and boring. I love mechanics, I love rules, I love trying and making new combinations, I will probably never make a character that isnt multiclassed. For those in the camp that multiclassing doesn't make sense for rp...

That could be contentious yeah, the stat reqs are pretty low so that shouldnt be too bad, and the dm can just make sure before he gives them out. As a player I never assume I will get a specific magic item when building a character. For instance if I could guarantee I would get a scimitar of...

Personally I'm excited to see what they do with prestige classes this time around. Yes it has the same name as a monstrosity from 3e but that doesn't mean that it will have the same fate. This first one honestly seems pretty balanced against the opportunity cost but still worth the effort, as...

that's because npc's dont need 2 weapon fighting or extra attack, they use multiattack; per example the Gladiator (p.346 MM) Multiattack the gladiator makes three melee attacks or two ranged attacks. spear etc normal spear stuff +7 to hit Shield Bash Melee Weapon Attack; +7 to hit, reach 5'. one...

a lot of shield-bearing NPC's can shield bash...

i had toyed around with -3 for 1d12, it would be better for crits and it averages to -3 +6 did you mean to say move the fighting style to level 1? because you said to 3, then for the rest talked about how dipping isnt really a problem so I'm confused, also making them wait 3 levels for...

Not having enough/variety of spells was never my issue as a ranger. It could help I suppose, generally though for me I only really want to cast 2 or 3 different spells any given day. I like the idea of ambuscade but I think giving a whole nother turn is waay too strong. What if at lvl 1 you can...

Berzerker can be really good! What I would advise against is doing more than one frenzy a day, on a long rest you get your level of exhaustion back so no long term problems. ofc save it for the BBEG but using a great weapon getting a swing every bonus action is just awesome, and the 14 ability...

but rangers dont prepare spells... do you mean spells known?
