If natural weapons are considered unarmed, do minotaur monks have the higher damage dice for their unarmed attacks?

Minotaur monk confirmed?

Familiars have crap HP. There's no way they can survive a single AoE at mid and high levels. Even at low levels they'll probably die. Doesn't this significantly nerf Pact of the Chain Warlocks? One dragon breath and they're reduced to a less-useful Wizard. Is there a good way to keep...

It's a bunch of :):):):):):):):) if you ask me. They're the magical hand masters! Bigby oughta bitchslap WotC. /rant On an unrelated note, apparently "bitchslap" isn't blocked by filters. Heh.

Show me a priest that can bludgeon his way past, well, anything, then maybe I'll be scared. Relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjZyLGpl_Bs

Because it keeps the Wizard alive? In all seriousness, it puts one less enemy on the battlefield right on round 1. Yes, the enemy can attack the frog while in its belly, but he has disadvantage and is losing HP every round without a save. And as much as a joke as it is, it protects the Wizard...

Teemo, the Swift Scout (from League of Legends) Assassin Rogue 17/Land Druid (Grassland) 3 1-3 Druid, 4-20 Rogue Forest Gnome - STR 8, DEX 15+1, CON 14, INT 8+2, WIS 14, CHR 12 ASIs - Sharpshooter, Lucky, DEX+2, DEX+2, Skulker Blowgun, Leather armor, Caltrops Goodberry, Shillelagh Thoughts...

Sprites are an interesting choice for a familiar. They have a few strong features, such as their Invisibility and their poisoned ranged attacks. They have low HP, but all familiars do... They have high AC though and their ability to fly out of range and hide (Stealth+8!) makes them pretty...

Final idea then I'll put this thread to rest: Moon Druid 2/Divination Wizard 2/Wild Magic Sorcerer 6+. By level 10 you'd have: -2 Wild Shapes into Giant Toads (much better than frogs) per rest -Portent x2 to force enemy saves to fail or force Bites to land -Bend Luck to force enemy saves to...

This is really solid advice. I like this idea. I'm a big fan of Divination Wizard's Portent for forcing failed saves, but Heightened Spell and Bend Luck (from Wild Magic) would work well too. Let's try to build this: Lightfoot Halfling Beastmaster 14/Wild Magic Sorcerer 6 Start: STR 8, DEX...

I like the idea of a Forest Gnome Beastmaster with 3 levels (or 4 for the ASI) of Divination Wizard for Enlarge/Reduce and Portent to force grapple save failures. I'd want Mounted Combatant to protect my froggy and keep him alive as long as possible. How would you guys build this level by...

Oh my god, I didn't even notice there were Giant Frogs AND Giant Toads!!! Giant Toads are Large size, so a Medium size race can ride them! They are a bit stronger too. Hmmm. I still think Beastmaster would come out on top, because they can add their Proficiency bonus (minimum of +2) to Frog...

The point of Giant Frog/Toad builds is to utilize the powerful Swallow ability, circumventing enemy HP. There are 2 ways to use this tactically: (1) Enlarge/Reduce + Swallow = eat Medium/Large size enemies (make them small enough to eat) (2) Haste + Bite + Swallow = 1-round meals (use the...

If you're mechanically capping your Eldritch Blast build at level 2 Warlock, then it doesn't :):):):)ing matter what you do after that. Go for those levels in bard if you want. Just 2 levels in Bard isn't worth it IMO though, might as well go 3 for Cutting Words or 4 for the ASI. Hell 5 gets you...

As he said above, The Great Old One Warlocks are a good choice. Bard for charms is useful too and gets access to the spell "Detect Thoughts" at level 3. You can also go Knowledge Cleric but I forget what level their read minds feature is. You can also get Hypnotic Gaze at level 2 from one of the...

What this guy said.

The powergamer in me says going normal Human for 16s in all 3 of your main stats at the start is awesome. But I agree that you shouldn't go normal Human, even if this is the best and only way to do it. (If one of your main stats is CHR, then Half-Elves can get 16s in all 3 main stats too...but...

I agree it's not ideal for anyone with access to Heavy polearms. But for Small size Beastmasters who can't use Heavy polearms, this circumvents that. I realize it's not RAI, but some DMs only care about RAW.

Wow, this kinda blew up. They were 2 separate questions. I'll rephrase to clarify. 1) If your reach is 10ft from the Lance, and you're also wielding a Quarterstaff, and you have the Polearm Master feat, can you OA them at 10ft range with your Lance instead of your Quarterstaff to trigger...

It has just occurred to me that PCs can wield both a Quarterstaff and a Lance at the same time (while mounted). So... How would these all interact: Sentinel+Polearm Master feats when wielding a Quarterstaff in one hand and a Lance in the other? "While you are wielding a Glaive, Halberd, Pike...
