So, what options for grappler builds do y'all think XGE will open up? If it hasn't changed from UA, the racial feat Squat Nimbleness will be a huge boon to dwarf grapplers, giving athletics expertise in a versatile half-feat (+1 to dex, con, or str). So fighter or barbarian builds can now pick...

Concentration check DCs are 10 or half the damage taken, whichever is higher. How are you never failing them? My apologies if I missed something, but I'm not seeing how that's possible. The ability description says it's a minimum bonus of 1; can never go negative.

Perfect! Yes, makes total sense now. Thank you :) Just a few posts back, I asked pretty much the same question. The answer was, basically, that it's a common request, and could be added to future functionality. Patreon supporters get to vote on what features are added next, so if enough of...

Awesome, thanks so much! I just became a patron, and got the latest version. Thanks for all your hard work. A question on the wildshape calculations: I've read the explanation of each in the FAQ; and re-read, and re-read. And I still just don't understand it. Is anyone willing to give an...

Awesome, thanks for the reply. I will definitely check out script-writing the FAQ, but to follow up on 2) -- when I type in Crag Cat, it defaults to the values for Cat. When I overwrite them, and then re-order or re-calculate the list, I lose all the rewritten info... it keeps the name, but sets...

Hi, got a couple of quick questions. My apologies if these are answered somewhere, but I did a search and wasn't able to find anything. And the version I have didn't come with a FAQ. I'm using the pdf version, Printer-Friendly-Redesign_v12-81. And I love it; by far the best character sheet I've...

In SKT, high AC doesn't help much; the main foes have extremely high to-hit bonuses. By far the most effective tanks I've seen were bearbarians. I'd suggest vhuman, half-orc, or dwarf (either the extra hp kind or the extra str kind, both are nice); adamantine half-plate if you can get it. For...

You, sir, are an evil genius. The only error I see, is that the Tabaxi's Feline Agility only recharges once you move 0 in a turn. So you can't really use it every other round; probably just once per combat in most cases (so round 3, for max damage, in your setup; unless using it in round 2...

Oh nice! I did not see the otter familiar, nor the mini veghomy (not sure what that is). Might have been location-specific items.

Before the con was over, I ended up getting a Moonsea faction estate. Since the char is Order of the Gauntlet, it was outside of Melvaunt. A small 4 room keep with a low wall, guarded by two knights. They also had Sword Coast and Chult estates, but Moonsea is the area I think I'll be spending...

I see that you've written a couple other guides on here. I just bookmarked them (Oz and Abusing Monsters) for later reading. The Abusing Monsters one looks particularly interesting, and seems like it'd combine very well with this build. Any other guides/builds out there that you've written...

Awesome topic, very interesting build. I really appreciate the notes on playstyle at different levels. Also appreciate the dialogue on the pros and cons with the other commenters. I just started leveling a bladesinger, and this gives me a lot to think about. A couple things I noticed -- you...

edit: whoops, misunderstood the previous post

Half-elf could be 16 dex, 16 con, 13 int, 12 wis, 10 cha, 8 str. Headband of intellect would mean you're almost as smart a wizard as those that max int. (+4 instead of +5). Belt of giant strength would allow you to grapple decently at low to mid levels if you wanted, although personally I'd just...

Ooh, that is an excellent point. I'd planned on taking both Resilient Con and Warcaster in the build, but you're right, even that may not be enough for the kind of hits I'll be taking. Warding bond may be a good Magical Secrets pick to cut those con check DCs. But maybe Bladesinger (with a...

Has anyone played a valor bard grappler build to L18-plus? Seems to me like it'd be the most fun grappler build for high levels, with shapechange via magical secrets and extra attack. If you've played one, any advice or lessons learned? Tactics, spells, items? Thinking about building one myself...

Fai chen showed up at my con today with a new season's worth of wares. Unfortunately he was closing for the day by the time I got to him, so I didn't see most of what was new. I did manage to snag a sloth mount. I heard from others that he had flying carpets, goggles of night, bracers of...

Yeah but it actually is pretty useless. If you read the feature description-- the reach is only while attacking, and only on your turn. By a strict reading of RAW, as soon as the grapple is made, the grapple breaks as they're no longer in your reach. By a slightly more lenient reading for the...
