You severely nerf the rogue if you take away double dash. A Rogue with 30 speed can move 90 if he takes dash as a BA and an action. I would say that yes he can use hide twice, but normally as he does not necessarily know if the first hide is successful I would question why he would...

I would give more than one PC to a party member before I went DMPC

In 5e it works fine because you can get so much variation with skills, feats and backgrounds. To really do 5e well you need at least one guy that talks, one that can sneak, one that can pick locks, one that can search, one that can close with the enemy and one guy that can effectively engage...

I think the Bard class is silly, on the rare occasion I play one, I wonder why the heck I am lugging this lute into the dungeon ..... alright guys we are going to sneak up and hit the bandit camp, grab the princess and get out. We need to be light and fast, only weapons and explosives .... oh...

You did not demonstrate why it breaks the game as is, you are arguing the rules need to be changed, tell me why it breaks the game being an attune item. Ok like I said, buy a staff of defense. Problem solved. Mage Armor for the Roge at all times! Not really. Not if you can afford 1500 gold...

Ok as soon as you give me an example where it being an attunement items as it is written breaks the game. You are the one suggesting that we change the rules, you should be the one to point out how it breaks the game as written. And while we are doing this, I will point out that I gave you an...

You can always get in position to hit an enemy with lightning bolt without hitting party members, unless you are an evoker you can not do that nearly as well with fireball. You can get more enemies in a fireball, but it is not a lot more typically. I think people white board this a lot, but in...

Agree, and the disadvantage they impose on a reaction is better than the 1 point in AC IMO.

Mage armor has a range of touch, not self. If any character in the party has it, any other can benefit from it (up to the limit of slots). You can also use scrolls and if you can buy magic items you can bet a party is going to have a backpack full of them. Yes a Warlock does need to give up...

That would be great, but this is a long thread and early on Chas pointed out that he draws his weapon ahead of time and has the wizard or another character open the door so he can go in with weapon drawn. If the door opens and the enemy is 50 feet away he is either dropping his sword or losing...

I actually took it as a subclass for the martial weapons proficiency and agree there is no thematic and certainly no power reason the subclass needs this.

I think it is a great spell, and the advantage of a line is you can use it more often while allies are in melee. Fighting one BBEG it is far better than fireball. I think chain lighting is a cool idea but it would need to be a lot higher than 3rd level, 5th or 6th probably. As far as this...

I think wizards are the easiest and best spell casting class. They get the most spells (even before finding scrolls and enemy spellbooks), they get the best spells, and there are numerous good spell options. Even if you completely botch your selections you can add 2 more next level to make up...

Absolutely they do. Aside from the fact they can't find armor that is any better, both of these classes often have mage armor and that is the difference between a 12 and a 15 (before dex bonus) No Barbarian is going to wear half plate when they can get a breast plate for less money and not...

This is the biggest problem with the Paladin class. If you cast any spells you feel like you are wasting your slots.

Wasn't POTA supposed to be a remake of TOEE?

Until they fall they do. Sleep at low levels and sapping sting, web, hold person, ensaring strike etc at all levels will cause most flying creatures to fall and take damage from the fall. Grappling and shove work for this too (although you have to get to them and are probably falling yourself...

I think everyone likes different things. Paladin is at the bottom for me, ahead of Cleric (who is dead last) and behind bard. Ranger is my favorite martial class and 3rd overall. If I had to ranke classes in terms of fun, here is how I would rank them: 1. Rogue 2. Wizard 3. Ranger 4...

This assumes their memory can stretch back hundreds of years. I am in my late 40s and memories from my teens and 20s are still there, but they are fading. I don't remember names, specifics etc and I am certainly not "proficient" in things like hitting a baseball or diagram a sentence in...

I think according to FR cannon - elves do remember both the feywild and the lives of their ancestors when they are born (or maybe it is their previous lives?). As they grow older they gradually forget these things and by the time they are adventuring age they have forgotten completely. My...
