    Net and Sharpshooter feat

    Sharpshooter however gets rid of disadvantage for long range as you said; the alternative is also crossbow expert to get rid of disadvantage in melee. Either way, you really need one (or both) of these feats to use a net properly. I personally prefer Crossbow Expert, as you can follow up a net...

    What to play after the Scroll Thief?

    I second Drums in the Marsh. That was a pretty good adventure. I also highly recommend "Tales Trees Tell", as this is the introduction to a prominent NPC from Season 4 (Jeny Greenteeth). There is also a recurring subplot with one of the characters introduced in season 1 - Elisande (and her...

    D&D 5E Optimized Giant Frog?

    By RAW - the Giant Frog's "Swallow" feature isn't affected by changes in the Frog's size. You could enlarge/shrink the frog and it would still only be able to swallow small (or smaller) creatures. Heck, you could give it a potion of Giant Size from SKT, and it still would be limited to small...

    "Other Resources" and Volo's Guide to Monsters

    The FAQ is referring to character options such as spells, can trips, races, and subclasses. The monsters in Volos are not included as they aren't "character options". They are only accessible via spells/wildshape. As such by RAW since Volos isn't specifically mentioned in the rule about using...

    Can you please stop derailing my thread already?

    Trade offer: Rod of lordly might for belt of giant strength

    With that being said - regardless of what you feel the rules are in this situation, it is largely irrelevant. This was a TRADE thread. There was no need for rules discussions in the slightest, as it only detracted from the purpose of the thread - to trade one item for another. As far as DM...

    Trade offer: Rod of lordly might for belt of giant strength

    Sorry, that must have been a typo. What I actually typed (or more accurately intended to type) was "Take a Giant elk for example, Braces of armor on its forelimbs, or a belt of giant strength should still work". I suspect that since I was typing this on my ipad, there may have been a point...

    Trade offer: Rod of lordly might for belt of giant strength

    Yeah, I too am puzzled by the reference to forelimbs. I think there was a miscommunication somewhere, as I never once mentioned the elk wearing a belt on its forelimbs... I did however mention an elk wearing a pair of bracers. EDIT: Apparently, I did say it - but unintentionally as a result of...

    D&D 5E Upcoming BBoC...

    The rebuild was for SCAG not EEPC, but you are correct that it wasn't repeated for Volo's.

    D&D 5E Mage Hand + Lay On Hands = ranged heal?

    Mage hand doesn't count as you for the purpose of spell origins. It is a separate entity that you have conjured. As such no, you cannot cast touch spells through your mage hand. You can however, cast spells through your familiar if you have one. To see what I mean, please compare the text of...

    Trade offer: Rod of lordly might for belt of giant strength

    Unlike polymorph, druids have the option which magic items merge with their body, and which ones are still worn (assuming their body shape could conceivably wear an item of that type). Worn items resize to fit the wielder (as stated in the DMG)- a belt is just a loop of leather with a clasp...

    Trade offer: Rod of lordly might for belt of giant strength

    Yeah you can drop them in the same encounter as there are rolls on table h and table I. I am also willing to trade 2 items if getting a different legendary and a very rare belt. Will need to look over my collective VRare items in that case though as I'm not sure what I have.

    Trade offer: Rod of lordly might for belt of giant strength

    Hi guys. Just finishe SKT and scored a rod of lordly might from the final encounter. It's the legendary Swiss Army knife of magic weapons but alas is only marginally useful to my barbarian/Druid. As such I am wanting to trade it for a legendary belt of giant strength (any kind) as that item is...

    Building a Mountain Dwarf Wizard with Int 8. Advice needed

    I am a former Regional Coordinator. While the FAQ has been streamlined since season 5, thanks largely in part to an overhaul I wrote myself (as I was in charge of maintaining FAQ in seasons 2-4 and worked with the admins during season 4 to condense, consolidate, and rewrite the existing FAQ for...

    Building a Mountain Dwarf Wizard with Int 8. Advice needed

    There is no class minimums for single-class characters. Multiclass characters must meet the minimum requirements of both classes. As such, all multiclass wizards must have a minimum of 13 Intelligence. Single-class Wizards could have as little as 6 in AL (Orc Wizard). However, such characters...

    Noble background Retainers. What can they be?

    I am AFB atm, but IIRC the retainers have the stats of hirelings from the PHB.

    D&D 5E Best in-combat healer

    Tranquility monks are good secondary healers, and have a self-sanctuary effect which can help bail them out when necessary. Unfortunately, a lot of their abilities rely on monk levels and their healing effects aren't spells and so don't stack with the Life Cleric ability. As such, they don't...

    D&D 5E Best in-combat healer

    Wasn't trying to derail the thread. My apologies. I was simply saying that heavy in-combat healing isn't the only option. Now as far as healing goes, there aren't many options available at low levels unfortunately. Mass Healing Word, and Aura of Vitality are the two strongest at lower level (not...

    D&D 5E Best in-combat healer

    I have played two separate campaigns without a dedicated support healer, relying on secondary healing (usually paladins or bards), and other support effects. I have also played one campaign in which we had a dedicated life cleric. The first two were much more offensive (replacing the support...

    D&D 5E Best in-combat healer

    Personally, I find damage prevention is superior to in-combat healing, and as such I lean heavily on things like shield, and counter spell. In-combat healing is a panic button if you need to get someone back in the fight so that the party doesn't lose action economy by losing an entire...
