one problem as it stands is that the War Domain is a very good 1 or 2 level dip for great weapon fighting builds. As many have said the multiclass issues are the biggest issue of this class. I might suggest adding the feature at the level 6 channel divinity upgrade that the initial bonus action...

This again falls into the fallacy that games mechanics and story are inexorably separated and cannot lend to one another. Consider your example of strength increase. A +2 strength may mean to you a flat increase of manual lifting power and no more but it may also refer to the ability to use ones...

If you are looking from a pure combat perspective nothing beats the fighter. battle masters in particular are excellent for precise shot however other fighter options perform well. Other options such as ranger, rogue and even bladelock can do well but none are quite as good as the fighter from a...

Use an greataxe stats call it a sword. There is literally no difference. An axe is no different in game terms than a sword and neither is defined in any asthetic terms.

There are a few misunderstandings in this thread which are leading to the discussion. The mechanics of the weapons was intentional and were designed with both the Half Orc race and the Barbarian class in mind as outliers. A greatsword or maul as written and confirmed by the designers of the...

There is nothing wrong with the Longsword. This entire thread is based on the dex is better than str fallacy in 5e. Str is as good or better a stat based on playstyle and magic availability in a campaign. The longsword allows a str character to pick from slashing or piercing weapons, while a dex...

You still need darkvision for dim light situations. Devil sight only offers benefits in Darkness and has no effect in dim light.

I really need to ask this because I just dont understand. What about Aragorn makes him not a fighter? Everything i can think of about that character is covered in the fighter class. Its bee a long time since i read the books but I just dont recall anything that screams ranger in the D&D sense. I...

Most people don't play to level 14 + regularly and are afraid of the high level abilities which seem insane on paper but easily bypassed at the level of play. While a high level Zealot can be difficult to kill if you apply their abilities to a setting of level 10 and under antagonists, they fit...

In the case of the witches behind the door they could have been hidden before casting invisibility. The door provided the cover. Assuming the door muffled the sounds of castin sufficently to prevent the player form hearing them cast. (this is covered in the DMG by increasing the DC, I believe.)...

Make the new weapon an undead slaying weapon. Take a giant slayer and change it creature type to Undead and have it trigger any effects that radiant would but keep the damage slashing. so like it would outright kill a zombie when reduced to 0 no save like radiant damage but its just part of the...

Polymorph + Awaken. Barbarian is now Int 10 and learned a language.

The simple version is RAW they stack because there is no RAW source that says they don't. Some DMs can customize rules as they see fit or make interpretations of rulings to fit their playstyle but there is no Raw source that covers this so there is nor reason in the books they do not stack.

The idea is that it should be a story not something that looks like an adaptation of a game. Using comic movies as an example. When they add thought bubbles and frames like Ang Lee's Hulk or Suicide squad, you are reminded that what you are watching has low stakes because it it framed outside a...

Elven Accuracy can't be used with Str attacks. There are ways to make it useable with GWM but not by default.

Survivor threads don't measure quality. they measure popularity.

Sounds like your narrative lacks urgency and you are really in scenario 3.

The difficult part of judging the power of the spell is that its power is not objective, it is subjective. It is a spell that shines in some situations and is useless in others. What really determines its effect is the narrative. So what is being argued here is how often your narrative cleshes...

You guys are having two completely separate conversations and confusing the two. The first is "is HS braking games?" The second is "is HS better than PoH" They are not the same thing. Is HS breaking games? is a discussion about the impact of play the one spell has. The existence ot PoH is...

Both the Zealot and the Berzerker are interesting classes that just do different things. There are parts I would change about both classes, and I would alter the basic chassis of the Barebarian in a few minor ways as well. Overall I enjoy playing the Berzerker and I am looking forward to playing...
