    D&D 5E Warcaster and Eldritch Blast

    Sure you can stow your weapon. You wont have it out for a reaction though... Thats one of the main boosts from having warcaster, taking it away basically invalidates the feat.

    Seeking Input on Eldritch Knight Build

    That looks like a great bulid. Other great spells from Ee; thunderclap -great source for aoe and after 7 you can even do a normal attacj after. Melf's minute meteors -tons of damage great range and aoe and it only costs a bonus action! Also from the normal list keep Blur in mind. It's a...

    D&D 5E Warcaster and Eldritch Blast

    Unless you are casting specifically v.s. spells. With those you cannot use the material component hand for somatic bc there isnt a material component. Eldritch blast, hellish rebuke, thunderwave, are some relevant examples.

    Fighter/Rogue/Barb?

    This is correct. With a half-feat, ie Athlete, you can nab a +2 but thats the most you can get.

    D&D 5E Warcaster and Eldritch Blast

    The wand isnt a weapon so no issue with a club/staff in your othur hand you actually cannot use the dual wielding rules because ut isnt a weapon. Your hands would be full though so remember that specifically v.s. spells you need a free hand for and since the wand isnt a weapon warcaster doesnt...

    D&D 5E Warcaster and Eldritch Blast

    The rules are somewhat unclear. I will tell you what most dms do but you need to clarify with yours because the rai/raw is unclear. You may use eldritch blast for that opp atk. You will have disadvantage because they are still within 5' when the opp atk happens. If you are level 5+ you MUST use...

    Best use of Polearm Master + Sentinel, Best Control/Skill Bard, Level 6

    I honestly havent found a good way to have a discussion with you jd. That is why I am doing my best to avoid your overly aggressive comments and largely not engage with you. Im really not sure how a damage reduction reaction is a 'niche' ability, taking damage is very common. As far as racials...

    D&D 5E Best race for Arcane Trickster/Bladesinger build? High Elf/VHuman?

    Personally I would advise doing illusion, divination or abjuration school for the utility and better class features. Ive never been a fan of the fact that all of the bladesingers features are tied to the songrage, even barbarians get other stuff. This also opens up your options for races, my...

    Best use of Polearm Master + Sentinel, Best Control/Skill Bard, Level 6

    Im not going to reply to you because you are off-topic and my question wasn't to you. I wanted to clarify some questions I had before giving advice. @op Either mountain dwarf, half orc or Goliath are all great not human race options that give you better stats and other nice features. Waiting...

    D&D 5E [5e] Swashbuckler/Fighter makeshift tank

    In order to use your offhand attack as a bonus action you must use the Attack action. Both booming blade and lightning lure use the 'cast a spell' action so you can't use your bonus action that way. You still have your bonus action to use, for example cunning action still works but two weapon...

    We've already been over this in other threads. Please refer to those points.

    The importance of being a 20

    You're confusing diversity with individual outliers. Hawking used points or a good roll in his int, tyson is str. Racial modifiers are trying to describe an overall trend. Most elves are graceful, most arcs are strong. there will be some smart arcs and some clumsy elves but the general...

    D&D 5E [5e] Swashbuckler/Fighter makeshift tank

    Sorry I shortcjut fighting style to fs. I also neglected to reread the first post and didn't remember that this was an ongoing ctaracter. my apologies. Booming blade will definitely help as would lightning lure. however using those means you cannot use your bonus action for your offhand...

    D&D 5E [5e] Swashbuckler/Fighter makeshift tank

    Doing two weapon fighting without the fs seems worse than doing a copier and a shield with defensive or duelling. Rogue tank will be plenty tanky and sneak attack should be plenty to keep you doing good damage. The main issue I foresee you having is making the baddies stick to you, sentinels...

    Best use of Polearm Master + Sentinel, Best Control/Skill Bard, Level 6

    Are these things you want to do anyways and are asking to get the most out of the concept, or are you assuming based on general here say that these build types are more powerful than othrs? I ask because especially pm fighter seems to have a lot of hype around it and it does some things very...

    The importance of being a 20

    But letting each race have whatever modifiers you want you peel away any identity that race has. just being raised by humans isn't enough to give a +2 int for example, humans can't even get that usually. that would be closer to the scholar background, giving you learned skills not inborn...

    Fighter/Rogue/Barb?

    Seems good, definitely consider other races. mountain dwarf or goliath would be my suggestions.

    The importance of being a 20

    Makes sense, most campaigns dont geto to 20 so do what makes for the mid levels too. Just keep in mond the cost becaus you might get to 20 some day.

    The importance of being a 20

    As a fighter you should have plenty of asis. Also that would cut you off from ever getting your second action surge. 17/3 is a pretty ideal split. The main question is when do you go for those ranger levels.

    The importance of being a 20

    The extra ac is definitely helpful. Not always worth the level sip but I am a big fan of Lvls 1-3 in ranger there's a lot of good stuff there.
