    Which D&D Settings Do You Play In?

    Currently playing 3.5 Eberron. 5e homebrew and 5e heavily reflavored homebrew sci-fi setting. Our 3.5 game is starting to show the inability of levels 10+ to make sence in the Eberron setting and switching to 5e will make perfect sence if not for the fact that not all of the character will be...

    D&D 5E Crafting Poison Houserule

    The reason why poison is so expensive and hard to make is that it gives a direct and noticeable advantage in combat while the classes are being balanced without poison in mind. An assassin usually does not make 25 assassinations over the course of one game session. He usually makes 1 by killing...

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    1. Tunel Fighter should have a clarification that the opportunity attacks are free attacks outside of your turn, to avoid people making attacks of opportunity while stunned for example. It's also probably good idea for the total number of attacks to be limited up to your proficiency modifier. 2...

    Now You Can Play With Vin Diesel's WITCH HUNTER Class!

    Provided that you have picked bear totem at lvl 3... get 8 levels into the Mutant Order and run Potency and Precision mutagens, grab the Great Weapon Master feat and increase your Str and Con (20 Str and 18 Con will be perfect) as much as you can. If you start running out of hit dice - swap...

    Now You Can Play With Vin Diesel's WITCH HUNTER Class!

    It seems like very fun and well though class, although I think some of it's features needs some adjustments: Cruelty mutagen probably should not stack with haste and Celerity/Potency/Sagacity need clarification if they can increase a stat beyond 20. The Rapidity mutagen should just increase your...

    D&D 5E Refusing To Heal Party Members?

    Conserving your healing resources is fine. Expecting other players to ask for your permission to play something is not. Have you asked the barbarian if you can play a paladin who does not want to heal him?

    D&D 5E Do Fighters Still Suck?

    No. 1. Action surge, fighting style, archetype features. 2. Strength based PCs don't fight at range for a long period of time. At worst they throw a javelin or two and close in for melee. They don't suck more than wizard in the middle of anti-magic field. Battle masters can trip a flyer to the...

    D&D 5E Kung Fu Panda: How do wildshape and monk class abilities interact?

    I would allow a monk/druid to choose if he is using natural armor (if any) or 10+Dex+Wis for AC. I would also allow him to make unarmed attacks instead his animal routine and use martial arts or flurry of blows. You gain a bit of temporary hit points but your unarmed damage, ability boosts and...

    D&D 5E Dex-based greatsword?

    Even a finesse weapon needs "strength" behind the blow. An agile character is surely better at finding weak spots in an opponent's armor or defenses, but he can exploit them better with two hands behind the blow. If a magical belt that gives you 25 strength is ok as a very rare magical item...

    D&D 5E Cleric of Thunder and Lightning

    It won't break anything. It will allow him to gain a bit more benefit out of the elemental adept feat and his channel divinity: destructove wrath. If you don't allow him to turn Flame Strike into 8d6 lightning damage, but keep it 4d6 lightning and 4d6 radiant and you don't plan on the campaign...

    D&D 5E Dex-based greatsword?

    1d10 finesse two handed weapon is perfectly fine. It isn't even atractive to a rogue unless he has access to haste or extra attack. Actually it is not attractive to almost noone else besides a lore bard or an archer ranger.

    D&D 5E The Best Gish (Spell-Sword)

    I am currently playing favored soul (war domain) sorcerer 6/pact of the tome warlock 3/oath of the ancients paladin 6 My saves and AC are through the roof and I usually run a twinned haste on me and the rogue plus spiritual weapon and shillelagh. That leaves me at 4 attacks for 1d8+4 and smite...

Favored Soul Sorcerer 12/(Champion or Battlemaster) Fighter 4/Warlock 4 if you want more magic/swordplay focused Gerald...

    D&D 5E Agility-based katana wielder: is it possible?

    Fighting Style Kenjutsu You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls when making an attack with single-edged longsword or greatsword and you initiative is based on your Wisdom modifier instead of your Dexterity modifier. If you draw your weapon during the first round...
