    D&D 5E Help with picking Bard spells

    Alright, I'm in a party of three, myself included. Level Eight. Took a good look at Mellored's Bard handbook. Absolutely spectacular, as is all his handbook work. Here's the party: Open Hand Monk A homebrewed Witcher class Lore Bard (me) I'm the only spellcaster. The Witcher has a few...

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

    Not a fan of Booming. Love it on a Tempest Cleric for the auto-push at level... 9, I think? I can only use one swing of the sword with Booming, and I'd prefer GWM swings. There's a Monk in the party who plans on Stunning a lot to grant me Advantage.

    Yeah, you get Drow Magic instead of the bonus of two skill proficiencies. No sunlight sensitivity, either. It's not a lie when Gladius said it essentially renders Drow obsolete, as far as Paladins go.

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

    Ok, I have a slightly unique scenario. My group is rebooting a campaign. We all start at level 8. 20, 18, 16, 12, 10, 8 is the stats we all get, finalized, regardless of race. We also get a single Feat, or two if you start as a Human. I'm going Vengeance. Now, with that in mind, what'd be...

    Or a 2 dip in Fighter for Action Surge. Still, thank you for reminding me that the target would have to fail two saves before it opens up. I'd forgotten that aspect.

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

    This is likely subject to some debate. However, I want to throw it out there: Hitting a Paralyzed creature within 5ft of you is considered a critical hit. Read Greatweapon Master again... When you score a critical hit, or reduce an enemy to 0HP, you can make a bonus action attack. So for...

    D&D 5E Help with an Archer build

    No Sharpshooter, though.

    D&D 5E Help with an Archer build

    When you say Warlock, do you mean just using Eldritch Blast? Or somehow manifesting a Pact Blade with a bow? (Which I think works if the bow is actually magical).

    D&D 5E Help with an Archer build

    So I've decided my next character is going to be an Archer. Now the question is, what class? Valor Bard has a lot of merit, but I'm a Lore Bard right now and would like something different. Fighter shows promise. Lots of attacks. Battlemaster and Eldritch Knight are both good. EK enables me...

    D&D 5E Need to roll a new character, looking for suggestions.

    Honestly, I haven't gone through all the pages, but I'd like to suggest Bard. I was the "Gotta do high damage and kill things quickly" guy. Then I forced myself to play a Bard to try to see the other side. And it's amazing. I'm Lore, but go Valor if you're looking to stretch your spell slots or...

    D&D 5E Do monks do enough damage?

    Despite the monks on average lower damage output, it's important to keep this in mind: It's a team game. Monks that Stun help the entire party. Remember, you don't have to kill the dragon: the PARTY has to kill the dragon! So Stunning the enemy grants advantage to everyone in the party, making...

    D&D 5E Do monks do enough damage?

    Mello, Does this math account for increased accuracy with Stunning Strike? If not, how much would this damage increase?

    D&D 5E Do monks do enough damage?

    While a Monks damage may be lower than some other classes, remember that Stunning Strike enables them to get advantage very frequently. If it hits on the first strike, you have advantage on your next three attacks (if you Flurry). Theoretically, you should be critting more and hitting much more...

    D&D 5E Do monks do enough damage?

    For the record, are you aware what Water Whip isn't correct in the PHB and that is is NOT a bonus action? This was confirmed a long time ago by Jeremy Crawford.

    D&D 5E Mediation, Meditation, Devastation: A Monk's Guide

    Is it so hard to believe you abandoned it when you never responded to messages in your own class handbook from October? I'm happy you're not abandoning it and plan to continue it, since I enjoy your work and respect your knowledge of the game.

    D&D 5E Mediation, Meditation, Devastation: A Monk's Guide

    Sooooo Yunru, is this abandoned at this point? Any plans on updating it with the new Monastic Traditions?

    D&D 5E DM's Guild: What caught your eye, and why did you buy it?

    Ahh, I thought it was something consumers might be able to click. Though it makes me think; If the item has no preview, and is behind a paywall, how confident are you as an author?

    D&D 5E DM's Guild: What caught your eye, and why did you buy it?

    I'm unaware of such an option, where might I find it?

    D&D 5E DM's Guild: What caught your eye, and why did you buy it?

    I have paid for two things. Both weren't good at all. I left comments / reviews on both. One being a Duskblade, which I honestly couldn't finish reading because it was so bad, and the second being a Rune Scribe, which seemed somehow both lazy and unnecessarily complex. So, in my experience...
