I find Medium armor a good buffer between getting your dex maxed out on a toon for asi on dex based characters where studded + dex match half plate + 2 Great for Barbs lets say you have 16 14 16 as your stats for str dex and con you take mountain dwarf to maximize the toon giving you 18 14 18...

Adding one is great if you want a spear with reach You could include the versatile spear as while should count same as the quaterstaff which means you get the extra attack but lose the reach property Then you have two options.

Generally we use the butt end alot on sweeps not a spin and you use the back side two handed to strike behind you when time is not your friend on a rear attacker creating space and time. You are right about the media and the spins.

Not true in quite a few Japanese martial arts it is a valid tacit and attack on the battle field because there is more than one attacker you always assume. European cases that may be the case but in thew asian world of martial arts Spears and Jo attacks blend together quite a bit

One question how do you rule on sneak attack with Rogues is it equivalent to advantage for them ?

I would say a 7ek/13 warlock works great because you can use int as a dump stat and only take buff spells from the EK side. They work find together and you can do EB + bow attack with 7th level war caster and add life drinker at 12 warlock if you go pact weapon. Could go 8/12 if you need the...

I would also factor in the environment on my save on a road lower dc check paved road even lower but traveling in the upper mountains altitude makes it harder so i increase the save; then swamp travel you know you have to worry about rodents of usual size etc etc. I mean it sounds reasonable to...

We have two clerics in the group both multiclass for different roles one wanted to be a fighter/cleric tank role so he will heal if necessary but at level 8 5 fighter (battle master) levels/3 cleric he will do healing when it is urgent he only has 6 spells slots but he has used goading to save...

I mean I can think of a ton of reason for multiclassing with Warlock from an RP perspective. Vengeance Paladin he takes an oath with a patron to help him seek his end goal of vengeance what ever his personal cost. Solomon Kane concept if you like. How about someone making a deal they started...

Me I never liked the magic that had material components as a concept seems more like alchemy and con artist. That is my view of magic I mean depending on what books you read depends on how they do magic everyone has their preference I know what mine are so I do not use material components it is...

Ogres something about them I use them quite often not sure why. I am dying for the party to be strong enough for a Beholder that is just one of my all time classic ones I love to throw at myplayers. To tell you the truth back in the 1E days I was more scared of fighting a beholder than a dragon...

Since you get to add damage on the hit I always thought it be must useful for adding reach to a whip or a polearm instead of 10' it is now 15' Example guy with pole arm lunges hits guy at 15' feet then moves on battle field 30' he stayed out of Opportunity attacks then ran over and hit a...

The layout seems about right and softening up the players will make it harder for them on the Dragon because they spent resources. If you want to really change it up have a NPC Monk/Warlock to be a special guardian that they fight first a level 8+ with 6 shadow monk/2 warlock with devilsight...

I use verbal and somatic because binding a wizard hands or silence is worth while and adds to the game IMO. I do not use material components expect in a few rare cases like raise dead because I can tie that into quest etc to raise a dead ally. Kind of depends on what school of magic do you like...

In a campaign I am running we have an archer with sharpshooter and despite some of the damage output they have been in as much danger as the melee. First I will modify monsters if need be to cover more ground; terrain, ambushes oh and evil archers and I do not make all monster dumb some make...

I am more than willing to Beta 2.0 without a transfer tool. It is a great way to look for bugs when starting from scratch on a character. Put me in this same court Forged more than willing to test 2.0 before you get a transfer tool completed.

Just to make it clear if I was a player I think it is unfair at the end of the day it is your game and this is 5E so your call. I am not a guy that plays ranged generally I am a guy that likes to get in the middle and scrap.

In other wards only magic user can be safe at range with damage ok got it sorry that just seems crazy to me. Then again what ever it is your game I know what I do as a player and I am not even a guy that plays ranged toons

Then you should get rid of GWM, what you are saying is archers are not allowed to damage people but because I have a big sword I win. Polearm +gwm puts archers even further behind since they can not go crossbow expert and sharpshooter

It depends on what you want out of the character you could dip Barbarian 13 strength dump stat and you can get to 20 without shield for a 1 level dump for a 2 level in barbarian you can also get advantage on dex saving throw. Then all your asi focus is dex,con and feats if you want. Then again...
