Politely, I completely disagree. A blind man able to walk on levitating steel girders, without the awareness that he has left the ground clearly has excellent agility, reflexes, and balance. There is no "Luck" statistic. Describing Mr. Magoo as "lucky" is a colloquialism, that explains away...

Gorillas, Chimpanzees, Bonobos, and Orangs all have better memories than Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Homo Sapiens Sapiens have a better intuitive grasp of physics. The Observant feat has the odd side effect, that one's Passive scores are often better then your active scores. Umbran's Artificer is...

The dice granted by the Healing Light ability replenish on a Long Rest...so yeah..."every turn?" is a valid question. Also why Toll the Dead instead of Sacred Flame? The Radiant Soul ability has no synergy with Toll the Dead.

When Miyomoto Musashi was late to his duel with Kojiro, the Demon of the Western Provinces, and then slew Kojiro with a carved oar that was slightly longer then Kojiro's legendary very large sword, some thought that gauche. Musashi of course did not care. In Musashi's view the point of being a...

That 12th level fighter in your example...add in GWM and GWF style, and the fighter nearly kills the Celestial Defender in one round w/ Action Surge without even using the -5/+10 part of GWM. Factor in using GWM and the Celestial Defender dies in one round.

One only gets 3 spell slots for spells level 2-5, and less slots for spell levels 6+, so any time a primary spell caster that doesn't have Arcane Recovery, has to repeat cast, the blow to their resources is significant. One doesn't play the warlock class to be an epic caster of spell...

Essentially you are just describing scarcity. Take any spell caster, reduce their available spell slots down to One spell slot remaining, with one crucial spell active with a Duration of Concentration. Now disrupt the active spell. A cleric is not dealing with this situation any better than a...

I agree that reading is sound, but it is not the only interpretation a DM is going to make. Some DMs are going to be perfectly fine allowing Warlock Pact Magic slots to be used to fuel class abilities powered by spell slots, to eliminate bookkeeping hassles. Especially, if the player in...

So assuming a 20 Stat, 1 attack at +7 against AC 15 Target Has a 65% to hit, jumps to 87% with Advantage. DPR 8 With GWM, without Advantage, you hit only 40% of the time. You hit 64% of the time with Advantage, and your DPR increases to 16. Elven Accuracy increases your chance to hit to 95%...

The classic 1e Elven Fighter 1/ Magic User 1 had only a single spell for the entire day as a baseline. The Hexblade through Cantrips, is a magical warrior. Eldritch Blast and Booming Blade, specifically. A Hexblade is Emrikol the Chaotic with armor and weapons...EB beams from afar, weapons up...

Permerton, based off our prior conversations I am presuming you have read both the Fafhrd and Conan stories. Conan was whatever REH needed. Conan,(as all REH protagonist were), was a natural killer and warrior. If REH needed Conan to be a general, Conan was a General..with a full command of...

Any elf Cleric with Elven Accuracy can get a smidge bellow the SS+CBE+PA DPR, by upcasting Inflict Wounds into a fourth level slot. SS + CBE+ PA is a great combo, you are basically Roland from the Dark Tower novels, finger-dancing reloads to your hand crossbows. But let's be honest, the combo...

There are so many assumptions/presumptions in this...too many to respond to. You seem singularly focused on DPR. A Barbarian character that has the Prodigy Feat and the Actor Feat can emulate Fafhrd, and bluff their way into the Thieves Guild to have the adventure. They can explore, and...

The role of a class is to provide some structure for a character. One does not play a Barbarian. One plays Doktor Johanes, a disgraced Fellow of the College of Antiquities at Ravensbluff Collegium. In Mechanical terms this could be a Variant Human Barbarian with the Prodigy feat and the...

The point is DPS is not the only 'stat' to optimize for. The point, (subtle as it may have been), is even a non-optimized small sized Barbarian using GWM can still use the -5/+10 portion just as well as any non Barbarian. This is before considering friendly creatures casting Enlarge on the...

Sure, but consolidating options into a single book means, less books to carry or cross reference. There is also a psychological factor. A hardcore DM might balk at letting something come into their game from a "setting book" like SCAG or Eberron, but feel fine with expanded options from...

When people post Amazon Sales rankings the book tends to be on the bottom of the list. Also it is the book that of the score or so people I play with, no one else owns. The SCAG spells are easily found online, and are also printed on GF9 Spell Cards. Outside of GFB and BB Cantrips, and the some...

Under RAW, sure but then we have this from XGE: SIMULTANEOUS EFFECTS Most effects in the game happen in succession, following an order set by the rules or the DM. In rare cases, effects can happen at the same time, especially at the start or end of a creature's turn. If Two or more things happen...

A dual short sword wielding AC 16 Stout Halfling1st level Barbarian has more AC and is doing more General DPR then a 1st level Vhuman GWM Barbarian. The interaction between Lucky and multiple attacks adds up to some real DPR. Critical Hits on offhand weapons translates into extra damage dice...

Outside or removing the Elf racial requirement, the only other change I could imagine is removing the One hand Open requirement, and allowing the weapon chosen at 3rd level act as a spellcasting focus. Strip away the restrictions so that any race can use any weapon and Bladesing, and a...
