Honestly the breath weapon as it is would be fine if it scaled better with level, imo

I'm thinking of working on a mage-type class that combines aspects of the Warlock and the paladin, a sort of 3/4 caster, basically the spell slots (and rest mechanics) of a normal halfcaster, but the rest of the features sort of like a warlock. I'm unsure what effect, if any, this would have on...

Mind Fog and Backfire were the way they are before I made this one, I jsut included them because they fit the theme. Eldritch champion is supposed to be the level 20 ability, but I've been having trouble fleshing it out (thats why there's no flavour or anything written up in there, its just my...

gonna post some new spells for a "force mage" concept ive been working on if i can grab time to do it tomorrow I'm two days into the effort this time, and I'm looking a list of 50+ spell concepts to work into 5e, most of which are actually elemental-type spells (ended up doing a remake of my...

So basically I'm trying to make an anti-magic paladin subclass (think DA templars), with bonuses against elementals and aberrations as well as spellcasters (hence the bonus feature in the beginning). I've got most of it pretty much worked out, except the severely WIP capstone. Any feedback on...

I dunno about pitfalls, but including the past characters in the future version as a legend/myth, or even in a book that slowly fills itself out as the characters in the past progress, could be really entertaining. Perhaps consider having an artifact that exists in the same condition for both...

/snipped cause it's got its own thread now/

The Warforged used in the game I play that has them is very similar to this (although the different types didn't have size differences). For the tough body type effect, their racial made enemies have "disadvantage" on damage rolls when dealing physical damage, i.e. roll the damage twice and take...

Typcially I add one level of exhaustion every time someone goes to 0 HP, with the 5th level making it so healing wont wake them up again. Also, make sure to mention that when you're back up after being unconscious that you should be prone as well, as healing magic typically doesn't lift you to...

Many excellent points, which I did not consider when porting it over from 3rd. I've updated the spell to use a bonus action instead of a reaction, as well as removing the verbal component. As for 60 feet range, that is the maximum distance the DMG suggests for players to see underwater in...

That was my thought at first too, but I decided to make it a 1st-level for two reasons: 1) It doesn't scale with slot level, and 2) it only lasts for 1 minute, as opposed to the 1 hour of magic weapon. It's mostly intended as a way for druids/rangers to have emergency weapons on hand in case of...

1-st level referred to the spell level of find familiar, and also to the Magic Initiate feat, which gives you a single 1st-level 1/day spell. It was mostly exaggeration, but it /could/ happen. and tbh, a ranger could also just cast find familiar and suddenly have a more combat-effective pet than...

Hmmm, maybe better to simply erect a semi-permeable molecular membrane around the boundary of the sphere

Seriously though, the 5e beastmaster is just awful. So much so that you're basically nerfing yourself by NOT taking Hunter (unless you're big on flavour and staying true-to-character, but that sort of dedication renders all conversations of balance irrelevant anyway) So here's what I rigged up...

I've found that true strike works perfectly with the slight modification of making it a bonus action instead of full action. I do like the idea of it scaling with level though, Advantage doesn't usually scale, unless you roll 3d20's

Why not just say "when using a versatile weapon with two hands, you can reroll any dice that come up as a 1 (like gwf, but less powerful here), and while using a versatile weapon in one hand, gain +1 damage? (half the bonus that dueling gives you)" Also, the maximize die thing seems kinda op...

To me, this means that while you fight and get hit, you basically shrug it off and keep going, until you can't anymore. This makes sense to me, (for the most part) but what doesnt is the cabaility to be pushed beyond what you can handle (0 hp), get a teeny bit of magical healing, and be fully...

UPDATE: 7/12/2015 Some new spells, some old spells removed, and a couple cantrip tweaks: Removed- (0) Know Direction (As mentioned above, basically just a skill check) (5) Meteor Strike (Replaced and reflavoured with the new 6th-level Cometfall) (8) Paranoia (Just weird and kind difficult to...

This may not work for everyone, but the solution we use for our games it to replace the -5/+10 with a -3/+1d8, this way the damage is more variable, and less likely to be worth the tradeoff every single time.

I had loads of fun playing my fighter (Great-weapon style EK who used a renamed glaive as a scythe) when my group ran the HotdQ/RoT books, she was awesome. I got some necromancy spells with the off-school features, and with warcaster for her human variant feat it was good to go. things only got...
