    D&D 5E Upgrading the WoS Monk

    Well, I was going on the fact that his skills don't seem to synergize too well. Casting Darkness as Doc Sun said would not allow me to jump from one to another unless I can say part of the body touching the shadow is sufficient to make the jump. PnPgamer, I'm specifically adressing magical...

    D&D 5E What would you play?

    Half Elves get +1 to 2 ability scores and +2 to CHA, which is higher than any other race other than Human at +1 to all stats. Oh and ANY 2 skill proficiencies of your choice plus Darkvision and Fey Ancestry. With your rolls and your ABI you can have a maxed out stat now Assuming you go Monk 17...

    D&D 5E Underdog skills, abilities and spells

    On the Transmutation, we've had a wizard use it to good effect when she was stuck in a cage. Not having any rogue skills or lockpicking ability, she transmuted the lock of her prison into a different material. Popped it off the cage, and viola, open door ;)

    D&D 5E Upgrading the WoS Monk

    So I was initially looking at the skill set of the Shadow monk and realize he can cast Darkness and at lvl 6, shadow step from one patch of shadow into another. At 6th level, you gain the ability to step from one shadow into another. When you are in dim light or darkness, as a bonus action you...

    D&D 5E Dragons and Resistances

    Lucas Yew, how would you do that? I'm a new player and I see my DM's devil horns growing since he got the MM and DM guide, I'd like to come prepared to battles if possible ;)

    D&D 5E Do I Understand Rogue Features Correctly?

    I'd say if the rogue was in melee, then he'd use a Cunnin Action Disengage to escape without an AOpp If the rogue was doing a ranged sneak attack from the shadows, then Cunning Action to Hide in shadows, behind bookshelf or whatever to try and Sneak Attack again next turn. Obviously stabbing...

    D&D 5E CONJURE CELESTIAL questions

    My campaign had my allies asking me to summon creatures for their material components. As Joe Liker pointed out, the components would disappear when the summons did. Oh well, in the end we got bat guano by speaking to some bats, feeding them goodberries and having them poop in a urn for our...

    D&D 5E CR and Encounter Difficulty: Is It Consistently Wrong?

    It'd also vary adventuring group to adventuring group I'd reckon. One with a silence spell handy or a cleric vs undead would fare better against certain mages and undead hordes so the CR might be easier for them, but other teams would fare better in say, an all out melee.

    D&D 5E 5e question: dual hand crossbows

    I'd say go for a Rock Gnome PC, and make use of his tinker ability, his background can be in smithing or working with mechanical gears and tension related contraptions. That way you build in the ability to dual wield self reloading hand held crossbows which are tailored to your PC. I'd also add...

    D&D 5E Psionic Thoughts

    Well, I'd like stuff from the books to come in Thinking specifically of Jarlalxe's right hand man, Kimmuel? How he gave Artemis Entreri a Kinetic Absorbing shield which allowed him to defeat Drizzt, one of those has a really nice flavour as it's something new. Good to cast on tanks before they...

    D&D 5E Using Conjure Fey for Beasts

    Just comparing to the lower level spell Conjure Animals which also summon Fey in Beast forms I guess. So if the summon goes hostile... we would get xp from the battle involving it? I just realised the higher level summon spells like Conjure Elemental and Conjure Fey both have the chance to lose...

    D&D 5E Does 5e have anything like Ironwood

    Try a Druid of Mielikki? That goddess doesn't seem to impose metal restrictions ;)

    D&D 5E Using Conjure Fey for Beasts

    So the spell allows us to either summon a Fey creature of CR 6 and below OR a Beast of CR 6 and below.If I choose the beast option, does the summon still turn against me if I lose concentration?

    Design Your Own Miniatures With Heroforge!

    Just saw this, having a bit of fun though as mentioned by OP, still kinda limited in Options Wonder when they'll include animal companions and/or familiars ^^

    D&D 5E Tracking without "tracking" feature, tripping without "trip"

    Well, I'd have a problem with classes such as a Druid being unable to track animals and beasts really. When we were trying to track someone and our Ranger was away, when the DM said no one had the specialty to track it seemed a bit out of place, surely a Druid can see traces of where a creature...

    D&D 5E When should I Multiclass?

    Ah thanks, didn't notice that Will probably take a different invocation then :p Maybe the push back Eldritch Blast option for laughs or some RP advantage invocation

    D&D 5E When should I Multiclass?

    Few thoughts off my head Way of Shadow Monk... is blinded by his own DARKNESS spells Warlock Invocation Devil's Sight removes that disability and makes it a permanent advantage on rolls. Add in the Pact of Familiar, and you can have a mobile patch of Darkness if you cast the spell on your...

    D&D 5E Spells: the Good, the Bad, and the Downright Orcish Grandmother

    Oh on Witch Bolt, basically it's the range and low damage and concentration that makes it horrible. Oh, and the fact that it isn't a Cantrip but actually burns a slot. My thought on when it'd be useful? Pure RP, think interrogation scenario, NPC is bound and unable to attack the caster (So no...

    D&D 5E Spells: the Good, the Bad, and the Downright Orcish Grandmother

    Actually, I think the spells like Druidcraft, Prestigidation, and Minor Illusions all add wonderful flavours to Roleplay possibilities. Well dressed aristocrat looks down on a Druid as a rustic peasant? Reinforce his assumptions by surrounding yourself with musk of wet bear and getting in REAL...
