Ridiculous. The Warlock is not outshining anyone unless the party takes a short rest after every encounter. The wizard is IMO the most well designed of the caster classes. It may not have the sorcerers meta magic, but the wizard makes up for that in sheer versatility as well as flexible arcane...

Paladins can also combine spell smites with divine smite in the same round. So a Paladin with access to 5th level slots and spells and a greatsword could Divine Smite & Improve Divine Smite per attack for 5d8+1d8+2d6+5d8+1d8+2d6 & add in another 5d10 for Banishing Smite as a bonus action all in...

Now that people have had at least a month or so to actually play and see the game played, what do you think about the Paladin? How does it compare to the rest of the classes in your opinion, and do you think this is the best iteration of the Paladin out of any edition (save 4th edition, which...

Night Below boxed set.

What are your thoughts on the new Aboleth? I like the lore, it is quite similar to classic Aboleth lore, except for one STUPID new piece: Now when an Aboleth is killed it reincarnates on the plane of water. :-S B-) What the heck is this bull crap? First, how/why would the Aboleth's reincarnate...

Why are people so sure Warlock EB scales automatically without further levels in Warlock? It's a slap on the face to the PC who chose to take Warlock 12 all the way to higher levels, that the Warlock 2/Fighter 10 can EB just as well as him

PDF Article Thoughts? It's not bad, and the throwback to the hooked polearm is cute, though not necessary IMO. Devilsight can be nasty for any Warlock's trying their own Devilsight cheeze and could even get the rest of the party slaughtered. What does bother me though is the constant...

Have your party Wizard and/or Sorc prepare/select Burning Hands/Color Spray/Sleep or even Grease.

@(Psi)SeveredHead I intend my PC to have the option of fighting in melee and casting spells, either destructive or utility. I am not looking to be the best in the game with either, just competent enough to have fun. A warrior-mage, nothing too fancy. Think Fighter/Mage from AD&D 2e. Enlarge...

I really like the fact that since 4e PCs don't need to roll a confirmation roll for a critical hit. The rush of a natural 20 thus doesn't get smothered immediately if you can't confirm, which was not uncommon in 3e. But it bothers me that monsters too don't need to confirm. I was wondering...

Would love to, but thing is in 5e the core EK is not a good wizard at all. Not even half good. However, since BAB goes up equally, and armor no longer hinders casting, a Wizard or Sorc can take one level of Fighter and be a competent warrior mage. However, he will never gain extra attacks, but...

Ok thanks for the tips guys, but I really need more help. I am going out of my mind here deciding what to do and what not to do. The game is this coming Saturday, we will be playing all evening until late night. We are going to start at level 1 and are expected to go all the way uptill level 3...

If so, tell us about it. What was your starting level, houserules (if any), where the game is set, and what you hope do with it (story wise)

Can anyone recommend me any D&D novels about Paladins? Year of publishing doesn't matter, neither does setting world (FR, Ravenloft, Eberron etc) But please do NOT recommend any non D&D book. I am tired of hearing about Deeds of Paksenerrion, which were a horrible series of books. The only...

Arcane Fire Prerequisite: Ability to cast 3rd level Wizard spells, Evocation Arcane Tradition Such is your skill with the arcane tradition of Evocation that you can disseminate and transform your prepared spells into raw magical fire, which you can hurl at your foes. For each spell of any...

Ok the EK doesn't get any spell failiure deductions in armor, so how do you effectively play him as a warrior? Mage armor lasts 1 hour/level and that's not bad, but only grants a +4 to AC. Any tips to increase AC to decent levels would be appreciated. Assume the following: Fighter 1/Wizard 5/...

So The Companions was released in 2013. The events of the novel indicate Salvatore had some knowledge at least of 5e. The Weave is restored, and spellcasting is like pre 4e again. Now in 3e terms Cattie Brie/Ruqiah would be a Mystic Theurge. But what about 5e? Since she called down lightning...

I wish WOTC would hold another setting search! It may be 'gimmicky' but it sure was exciting. I still remember the competition, and reading the initial announcement on the old Wizards site back in 2001 I think. They don't even have to give a reward of $100,000, just go for a much smaller one...

Lemme know if you try it out with a player. Would love to hear a play by play. (if you don't have spell compendium you can check it out here on dndtools.eu ) Everyone here on Enworld is busy with 5e it seems, as the boards have the most activity. So for a more responsive char op board I suggest...

Doesn't the Sphinx have a lot of damage immunities, meaning mundane weapons cannot harm it at all?
