I can explain that. My original archer build had to start the combat hidden in order to cancel his disadvantage from the Sim's darkness and/or invisibility. I always shot the Sim first, as two arrows would take him out and I didn't have auto-advantage from the oathbow against the Sim. I...

Background features are supposed to grant a bit of narrative power; giving them a combat boost doesn't really do that.

I'd much rather have players cherry picking proficiencies from backgrounds than have them shoe-horning backgrounds that don't make sense just so they can get the proficiencies they want. I'm in a game like that right now, where one of the other players didn't know you could just pick the profs...

As far as I can tell, he believed that he could pick and choose what types of undead he got, and he picked Archers and Mages. The spell only says skeleton or zombie, and then you have to equip them all. Is there even a spell that grants an undead mage in the book? The spacing of the undead has...

I think that's an excellent plan. It's one I've pondered, but never mentioned. Now that we know the villain is set in stone and can no longer be modified (and I'll note the most recent update was today at 4 pm GMT), we can actually make a build to counter it. Previously, every proposed build...

Oh, I completely agree. In a previous thread on this same topic, the battle took place in a mountainous terrain and the CL had an unknown artifact that made him evil. We still didn't know what his goal was, and it has been pointed out before* that no one knows why they're even attacking this...

Well, you see, there's this army of undead that's slowly growing on the outskirts of a kingdom, and adventurers were sent in to figure it out. Each group that was sent in never came back* (they were all killed by the CL + Sim), until a high enough level group shows up. No one has ever figured...

Fair enough, my friend. I'm always torn on that, as I agree with you, but at the same time I like having the numbers so I can roll randomly at times. There are times when I see lists that aren't numbered and wish they were so I wouldn't have to count up just to roll randomly.

Yes. But you can maintain 4+2/lvl, so that's what I put it at for how much he has ongoing.

Fair enough. I've always read the spell as being capped at the level you maintain, because any further casting won't raise more but just maintain what you have. But if we're saying that the CL can maintain 8 per casting, then it's just another 6 sorc points per 8 in the army, per day. Add it...

Re: Animate Undead. It's not 5 per casting, it's 8 per casting as a 5th level slot. You start with 4 and get 2 more for each spell level above 3rd. You're using 5th level spell, so 4+2+2=8. If your simulacrum also casts it, then it's 16. However, you cannot keep casting it over and over. The...

It's actually even easier than that. It requires his action for the image to move. He's used up his level 6+ spell slots to make multiple images. So just watch for the things that don't move, as he has only one action per round. They're all going to have jilted movement around the battlefield...

Well, you're in luck! Because the book actually gives you exactly what you want! "A background contains suggested personal characteristics based on your background. You can pick characteristics, roll dice to determine them randomly, or use the suggestions as inspiration for characteristics of...

Did anyone else notice that the Position of Privilege flat out states you're a noble, while the complaint is that the PC is not a noble but gains the benefits of one? So here we have a case of not following RAW while at the same time complaining that RAW makes it nonsensical.

So... Kind of like a fantasy version of Charles Darwin? Or any ship scientist, really. And heck, XGE has a very similar example, except with an urchin using the sailor feature and becoming a sea wizard.

Yes. It was one of the hurdles that the simulacrum chain wizard had to overcome. It's why that tactic requires a wish to make sim 1, then long rest, then have the Sim cast a Sim spell copy of the wizard. Sim 2 is now full up on spell slots. From there, each sim can make another sim of the wizard...

The simulacrum can't cast wish. It was already used by the CL, and since the Sim is a copy, it's copied with the 9th slot used up. And the Sim will never get spell slots back.

Or the fact that those insects have some amount of HP and that they can't survive the 120 damage that the first meteor swarm is doing to them.

When does he use that action? Is it: 1) Always Up 2) Cast first round 3) Cast it some other round

Yet you used it yourself. [Quite]Oath bow add only +3d6 (Not 6d6), It's only 1d8 longbow damage, Nameless King is immune to posion. LOL, sharpshooter -5 attack roll!! Clearly you didn't read my post, as I explained all of this. Mirror Image only applies if I can see them. You have darkness...
