    D&D 5E Comparing Monk DPR

    Which is ok because THe monk has a bunch more abilities that make up for the difference in AC. If you assume all classes are perfectly balanced without magic (I know that is a false assumption but it is the baseline) then getting the BOD does not make the monk equal to the fighter, it makes him...

    D&D 5E How Is This Balanced?

    If the sorc invested in charisma skills put in some conversational role playing he can excell in. Use ranged enemies.

    D&D 5E Comparing Monk DPR

    Seems pretty cool to me ... a heck of a lot cooler than a +1 shield. The biggest negative about it is that it is a shield. If it was a hat that did that it would be dope.

    D&D 5E Comparing Monk DPR

    It is not unique to BOD. In fact I think every single item that gives a bonus to AC, and is not armor, requires attunement. Ring of protection, cloak of protection ..., every one I can think of does. I think the intent is pretty clear - you will need to attune to a magic item to boost AC with...

    D&D 5E Comparing Monk DPR

    Well there is a specific part in the PHB about using potions, so most people do. There are other potions besides heaqling too, how about flying so you can attack the flying enemy with your strength-based melee character .... or even in the example you gave, you must drop your weapon (leaving it...

    D&D 5E Comparing Monk DPR

    And they are not going around looking to spend thousands either. To use your previous example, there are not people that go shopping for Ferraris and Rolex's while also eating Ramen noodles and living in the projects. Misers are not going to be in the part of town where magic studded leather...

    D&D 5E Is favored enemy and natural explorer really that bad?

    Fair enough. There are other campaigns with tons of them though.

    D&D 5E Is favored enemy and natural explorer really that bad?

    I would tend to disagree with this. I think we need more non-combat roles from classes (or more specifically subclasses).

    D&D 5E Comparing Monk DPR

    Read more closely. XGE page 126 looking for a specific item - you get to make a persuasion check after 1 week of searching. For +1 studded (a rare item) that check is made with a DC of 20 (very last paragraph, lesft side of the page). If you don't have a negative persuasion, it is possible...

    D&D 5E How much space (pages) does a spell use up in a Wizard's spellbook in 5th edition?

    Seeing as it is magic, I just rule that the number of pages and size of the text conform to the book magically. Since it is 3lbs, that makes it about the size of the DMG.

    D&D 5E Comparing Monk DPR

    It matters because you rarely have 5 weeks between adventures. You rarely have 2 weeks. Meh ... how often are you going to need that other item you want to attune to in the middle of combat. And it is 2 short rests and a long rest per day. RAW comfortable lifestyle is 2gp per day, so that...

    D&D 5E shilelagh, great club and GWM - does this work?

    Does this combo work for a Ranger with the Drudic Warrior fighting style? While I am at it, I think the Ranger class is the only way to get Drudic warrior fighting style. I do not think you can get this style through a feat, is that correct?

    D&D 5E Is favored enemy and natural explorer really that bad?

    So you think turn undead and destroy undead rarely matter, or am I misunderstanding you?

    D&D 5E The Dual Wielding Ranger: How Aragorn, Drizzt, and Dual-Wielding Led to the Ranger's Loss of Identity

    Ah I do remeber it.(y) 18 is still uncommon even with that method, but 1 in a party would probably have it. RAW, was that method available to elves or was it humans only? Edit: as mentioned above in the 9d6 method you are garunteed the minimum score, so a Drow Ranger would have...

    D&D (2024) Change to Basic Class / Subclass design?

    Not really because you can multiclass if you don't like being locked into a class. I am not sure how popular Artificers are. I like Warlocks, but I like Wizards, Rogues, Fighters and Rangers more. To be honest I feel like I have a lot more role play options and variations available with those...

    D&D 5E Comparing Monk DPR

    I asked for an example. I mean "character class X with items A, B, C and D all requiring attunment at 6th level." Well that is not RAW. I said that is the one adventure that it would not have derailed. It still would have taken weeks or months to find a specific magic item because that is...

    D&D 5E Comparing Monk DPR

    No we treat what the rulebooks say as rules or at least guidelines. A lot easier than taking 5-weeks of research to find and buy a suit of studded +1. RAW you should have several short rests in an adventuring day. If you aren't paying for food you are going to have more money than you should...

    D&D 5E The Dual Wielding Ranger: How Aragorn, Drizzt, and Dual-Wielding Led to the Ranger's Loss of Identity

    You need to have an 18 strength to be a Drow Ranger in UA, and this is really hard for an elf to get. Unless you just handwaved that. We had a lot of good Drow Clerics, Magic-users, and thieves but not a lot of Rangers. We had a few fighters too. The thieves and clerics were awesome dual...

    D&D 5E Comparing Monk DPR

    Can you give an example of the 6th-level character that ran out of attunement? I don't think the majoirty of games allow buying items. The DMG p.135 states that magic items are normally "not available for purchase", it does leave options for DMs to change this, but it is clear that the default...
