This is one of those spells that is both very clear yet very poorly worded. Yes, it is clear that your minimum AC is now 16, but this is I think the ONLY example of that in the game. Every other item or spell affecting AC provides a base, or a bonus, and some limits, and can usually be...

This sounds pretty easy actually. First thing I'd do is stop worrying about a Longbow. Short bows are only 1D lower, average 1pt less per hit which really isn't all that big a deal in the grand scheme of things. Second, yes Valor, no brainer there if the archery aspect is going to be a...

This is an awesome question. There is no purely correct answer RAW, and I think assuming that the phrase "Detects creature types" can be read a few ways. Does sunlight "Detect" a vampire and upon doing so unleash it's effects upon them? Does a Forbiddance spell do so? Can it be tricked...

It is pretty specific that using your action to do more than sense the presence of magic only works on visible objects. Seems odd they'd include that term if it also applied to invisible objects. Also, would seriously call into question why we'd have See Invisible, a 2nd level spell.

Twenty sided dice of course! Although I was but a wee lad at the time, seeing dice that weren't just 6 sided totally blew me away. My mother's boyfriend at the time introduced my brother and I to the game, and then I found the local Game Keeper shop, and bought a nice big bag full of...

Actually Elfcrusher got what I was saying. I was amazed that a Demon Prince couldn't get his mits on even a +1 weapon. And yes I could give him anything, but again using Grazzt as the example, "Wave" is his sword, it's famous. And apparently they thought the named weapon of a Demon Prince...

I would be absolutely in favor of letting the dice carry the character, and for the reason you mentioned. NONE of us can actually do anything our heroric fantasy characters can do, which is the whole point of roleplaying. The fact game mechanics fill the gaps is essential. Of course...

Well then just give your Rogue STR as it's primary stat and role play him that way. The whole point of multiclassing it to give a character the flexibility to do some things well that are typically the province of another class. Seems like every time a player wants something slightly outside...

RAW it wouldn't, but I was thinking of trying to make the case to my DM that it should have some benefit when writing scrolls from your chosen school. Is that too much?

So how come even guys like Grazzt seem to have non magical weapons? I get that all their attacks are effectively magic, but almost no weapon wielding monsters seem to be able to find even a +1 weapon to use? You think being Demon lords or even just a high ranking Marilith they could swing...

Well, I don't know if this needs a whole subclass. This is easily represented by a STR based rogue stat wise, with a level or 2 of Fighter perhaps. But for feats give him Tavern Brawler to make him a bit more dangerous unarmed, take expertise from the rogue levels in Athletics. That will...

From the PHB: Block and Tackle. A set of pulleys with a cable threaded through them and a hook to attach to objects, a block and tackle allows you to hoist up to four times the weight you can normally lift. Which is why I never leave home or grapple without my trusty block and tackle :)

Ok, I'm sure this has been asked and answered somewhere, but I'm bad at looking up old threads. The grapple rules say you can attempt it on creatures one size larger, but is there a penalty stated somewhere or some advantage to being bigger than your opponent? Seems like it would grant...

Archer druid? Aren't those called rangers?

Holy Cow, I had no idea they put all that together in one 5E book. I literally just paid a fair amount to get the old "Companion Set" rules as my campaign is about the party carving out a dominion in the Wild West of the campaign world. This could have saved me some money and gotten me more...

There are plenty of reasons to stay single classed. When you take a multiclass you are denying your main class whatever next ability jump you get. Staying focused on a class has it's own benefits that you give up to multiclass. Take more than 3 levels in a muticlass you'll never cast 9th...

Well I am set on it, but when people ask questions like this, the responses usually fall into 2 categories. Category #1 - That's what the rules say, and I have implicit faith in the infallibility of WotC so it must stand as is. Passionate defenses are raised to defend X because that was in...

Well that is handled easily enough. For classes that get bonus ASI at certain levels(Rogues/Fighters), if you actually level in that class to that level, you get the ASI. Easy peasy.

Well you sorta answered your own question there. If I'm taking Sorc 5 to get fireball, that's why I'm doing it. If I want fireball, I can't do that by taking Druid 5. However, every class gets ASI at 4th, doesn't matter which one you pick. I see no need to force someone to take a level in...

Also, they could take the Wood Elf Magic feat and all be able to cast , Guidance, Longstrider and Pass Without Trace. PWT is insane for sneaking around, and can affect the whole group. Basically they could be in it almost all the time, certainly when it counted. And 45ft move instead of 35...
