    Unearthed Arcana New Unearthed Arcana: Psionics!

    You kniw what, I was seeing it, I was just thinking those were for something else. I actually think I like the subclasses. I wish there was a pure class that used points instead of spell slots though, but I can see how this can enter the game without causing too much disruption.

    D&D 5E Thoughts on a Darksun Cleric

    Perservers should still be wizards too, but sorcerers should fit under the preserver tree since their magic comes from innate knowledge. I think using the quicken metamagic ability should be a defiling ability fir them though. The biggest thing in Dark Sun though is psionics. That has to be...

    D&D 5E Question about a forest gnome cleric, level 1.

    I always use point buy, but when I do roll for fun, I usually get higher numbers than the poijt buy allows. A DM could always habe the player correct the mistake, or have them stroll if they are rolling.

    D&D 5E Question about a forest gnome cleric, level 1.

    Seeing how he has no 16s or higher, I'm going to guess he used point buy and made a mistake.

    D&D 5E Absorb Elements, Shield Master, and Reactions for Saves

    Wow a lot of words and you said nothing to actually counter my point. You just tried rewording it. Of the trigger is for an OA is "leave your threatened space," what did I say was wrong? If the trigger for shield is "when attacked," again, what was wrong with what I said, because you literally...

    D&D 5E Absorb Elements, Shield Master, and Reactions for Saves

    I will challenge this. Even though you cant cast spells, for Counter-spell, you only need to point. Please make a video of you trying to out point your friend when you when you see him attempting it to point at you while you're attempting to do something else. I can tell you it's a physical...

    D&D 5E Absorb Elements, Shield Master, and Reactions for Saves

    It is, if you read the spell, 2 things the spell mentions, 1. You attempt to interrupt a spell you see being cast and, 2. The spell only has a Somatic component, which is you point at the caster. Unless you can predict another when another wizard is about to counter a spell and point at him...

    D&D 5E Absorb Elements, Shield Master, and Reactions for Saves

    I get what you're saying, all I'm saying is you should declare your intent before you roll dice. The examples you stated, you have to declare intent before rolling. Nothing is automatic. If a DM gets ready to moce a creature away from you, they usually ask, "are you making an opportunity...

    D&D 5E Absorb Elements, Shield Master, and Reactions for Saves

    You are trying to do both, because you're trying to use the result of the saving throw to determine which one you're going to use. Your argument is (a) triggers before damage, and (b) triggers after damage. What you're saying is "if I make my save then I'm going to use (a), if I fail I'll use...

    D&D 5E Absorb Elements, Shield Master, and Reactions for Saves

    So if a bonus action like shield bash says "you can do it as a bonus action when you make a melee attack" and you use the bonus action before you make the melee attack, by your logic, does this mean you still have the opportunity to cast a spell instead based off the result if the shield bash?

    D&D 5E Absorb Elements, Shield Master, and Reactions for Saves

    Wrong, you either haven't read the Player's Handbook, and don't know the rules of combat, or you're purposely trying to misinform people to cheat.

    D&D 5E Absorb Elements, Shield Master, and Reactions for Saves

    If you took 18 lvls of fighter amd 2 levels of paladin, you habe the ability to use 7 smites in a round, possibly 8 or 9 because smite has no action economy, and neither does action surge, but everything with an action economy. There's nowhere in the rules that says you can take 2 reactions in a...

    D&D 5E Absorb Elements, Shield Master, and Reactions for Saves

    You allowed to choose whatever you want to do until you roll dice. Once you decide to roll dice you're committed. If the shield master ability didn't have an action economy, sure you could do both but since it does, you have to choose. If you need an explanation on why, a round takes six...

    D&D 5E Absorb Elements, Shield Master, and Reactions for Saves

    Im not misunderstanding anything. You are trying to use wording to cheat. The action economy is a reaction, you have to choose the reaction before you roll the dice. I don't care what the flavor text says, because that's all it is. The action economy says one reaction per round. If you are...

    D&D 5E Absorb Elements, Shield Master, and Reactions for Saves

    This is wrong, you habe to make the decision to cast the spell before the save. This is a reaction. You have to choose one or the other. If it were an ongoing effect like fire shield, sure you can use shield master, and of thst fails you still have resistance. With 2 different reactions, it's...

    D&D 5E Absorb Elements, Shield Master, and Reactions for Saves

    Yes, that's the point of reactions and bonus actions, you only get one, so you have to select the best one for your situation.
