    D&D 5E [GUIDE] Pacts, Patrons, and Power, a Warlock guide

    You probably want to update the stats section too since a hexblade with blade pact is not going to treat strength as primary.

    D&D 5E So what is the state of gishes after Xanathar's?

    At 14, they can flourish without spending inspiration but yeah. In the same way that lore bards tend to go knowledge cleric for 1 level, I'd think valor/swords would want to start hexblade for the better save/eldritch blast/cha-attacks.

    D&D 5E [GUIDE] My Word Is My Sword: The Paladin Guide

    I am thinking the iconic conquest paladin will be a dragonborn with the dragon fear feat.

    D&D 5E So what is the state of gishes after Xanathar's?

    It seems like College of Swords is a viable edition to the "gish in a box" options for d&d 5e. Hexblade looks like its going to be a very common dip for bards, sorcerers and paladins. Divine soul mixed very well with paladin/sorcerer. For Int-based, EK and AT might want to take a couple of...

    D&D 5E Paladin: Why Are They Often Considered Highly Powerful?

    They can buff away the drawbacks of the great-weapon fighter feat; they can smite on opportunity attacks; they have very high defenses and self-healing meaning they can consistently pump out melee damage round. after round. An OoV vengeance paladin with haste up and using channel divinity to...

    D&D 5E Decades spanning campaigns

    We did this for a lifelong d&d player for his birthday a couple years back. Followed his character through AD&D 1e up through 5e. More like 1 hour per edition though,

    D&D 5E Paladin, Oath of the Anti-Arcane

    Concentration breaker: how about "must make concentration check to avoid losing spell with disadvantage," so it mirrors the mage slayer feat. For "resistance against magic.." what does that mean? Resistance against all damage types if the origin is an magic spell? arcane spell? All energy...

    D&D 5E Paladin, Oath of the Anti-Arcane

    I suggest calling it, "Oath of Inquisition."

    Want to Playtest Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition (V5)?

    Yeah they released an anniversary edition (with tweaks) of the old world of darkness settings a few years back (masquerade was old world of darkness vampires....requiem is new world of darkness vampires). I think the old setting/ruleset has proved popular/durable enough that they decided to...

    D&D 5E Why does Invisibility work against undead?

    You could have levels of invisibility depending on spell slot level: sight only also masks sound also masks heat signature Also masks ground vibrations and changes in air turbulence caused by physical object (whisker-sense!) Also masks thoughts Also masks life force or necromantic force. Get...

    D&D 5E Ideas for Dwarven Calvalry

    That's what World of Warcraft settled on...looked pretty cool too.

    D&D 5E Favourite UA subclasses?

    I want a toned-down generalist wizard. I actually really liked the samurai fighter. The hexblade is cool but I am uncomfortable with it being a patron (but they sort of painted themselves into a corner). The stone sorcerer is the swordmage but the sorcerer seems like a bad chassis for it. I...

    Unearthed Arcana June Unearthed Arcana: Druid Shepherd, Fighter Cavalier, and Paladin of Conquest

    It's also possible that they surveyed well but didn't require tuning sufficient to return them to a playtest article.

    Unearthed Arcana June Unearthed Arcana: Druid Shepherd, Fighter Cavalier, and Paladin of Conquest

    They said in the article linking to the pdf that they got feedback that the invocations shouldn't be tied to pacts so they removed the pact requirements. But Fiend pact is the only way to get access to fireball because it is the only pact that offers the spell. So I think they need to decide...
