From a mechanical point of view, I'm leaning heavily towards the Allosaurus. From a Role Playing point of view, riding a giant metal dinosaur is completely metal. I shall name him Grimloche (not to be confused with Grimlock)

I'm soo going to make a dual dagger wielding wizard now.

Have you ever seen Journey Quest ? The sword is outspoken, and constantly insults is wielder. It also teleports immediately back to it's owner's hands is he gets more than 5ft from it, or anyone else tries to hold it.

Pack tactics and Multiattack is pretty sweet, but AC10 and 22 HP kind of kill it for me. Reguardless of INT, woudln't it being a beast preclude it from using the infusions ? A dog could be smart enough to teach it to use a TV remote, but to consciously initiate a magical reaction seems a...

Since Dragonlance was pretty much D&D with Steel Pieces instead of Gold Pieces, more dragons, Draconians, and less Clerics, it shouldn't be very hard.

I don't really get the "need" for it to be large. As a GM, I would allow something smaller if the player wanted it. A certain mechanical owl comes to mind

Really ? The Boar just appears to be a worse version of the bear, only getting the extra damage on the charge, a single attack, and a low perception. What is that you are seeing about the boar that I am missing ? Allosaurus gets top scores for attack, Damage, AC, Hit Points, and movement. The...

If you've read through the Artificer UA article you know that you've got to pick and build a construct. It needs to be of the beast subtype, large, and CR 2 or less. Assuming you want to stick with CR2, your choices are: Allosaurus : Passive Perception 15, Speed 60ft Giant Boar : Speed...

I know it's a construct, but does anything in the rules say it needs to be obviously so ? A mechanical bear, covered in fur, would probably be less conspicuous, than a giant shiny robot bear.

Where the Artificer develops his craft through intellect, instead of inherent power, I think he should learn and cast spells like a wizard.

That is wrong on soo many levels. Official rules, from official sources, are the baseline game. House rules, you just made up, only matter, at best, to your gaming group. Agreed. Your describing the baseline rules. If you are playing without the rules for feats, multiclassing, and flanking...

Which last time I checked, was one of the three core rulebooks. It's not a house rule. It's not something from the Dungeon Master's Guild, Unearthed Arcana, a blog, or an Enworld thread. Like I said, it's perfectly fine if it's a rule your gaming group chooses not to use, but let's not pretend...

Evidently, not as rare as you think ? All rules in D&D are optional. Flanking is in the a core rulebook. I get that some people don't use it, but I don't understand people's surprise when others do.

This is a collection of magic item cards that were used in a campaign I ran a few years back. They were intended to be printed on 4x6 photo stock, at the local 1 hour photo. Some of them are common items, while other's are unique to the campaign, as they were created by the party's spellcaster...

It's superior to Booming, Greenflame Blade, and Shillelagh, which to me is a problem. It's Shillelagh, without using a bonus action, plus superior bonus damage to Booming & Greenflame Blades. That's like 2.5 Cantrips strong (Shillelagh + Greenflame + Larger Damage die) There would be no...

I don't know why, but I don't tire of these Skyfall memes, but I agree that a Hitler reacts to D&D 5E video, like it was just released, probably would have been better, you know, when D&D 5E was released. Skyfall memes are all about knee jerk reactions and hating on change

Give everyone the same stats.

Weapon Specialist Ninja/Stealth Specialist Iron Body/Iron Fist - less flashy stuff more damage and damage reduction

It took my group 3 sessions to get through the Castle. The first session they expended a lot of magic to secure the treasure in the treasure room. The second session they barely survived battling the Golems. The third session they played whack a mole in the crypts and put down Strahd.
