I guess it's a way to either represent it being a part of the body or a way to make it warforged only. I don't think I've seen any magic item with any restriction on who can use them that doesn't accomplish it though attunement. In short, I believe it's about enforcing "warforged only" rather...

While I didn't follow the "Monks suck" thread closely, it did seem to claim that monks were way behind warlocks in terms of DPR. This thread seems to be all about checking that (apparent) claim.

It is very useful for checking the recently made argument that monks are way behind on dealing damage over extended periods of time. Warlock is also a good comparison since both they and monk have a clearly limited resource per short rest and obvious ways to convert the resource into damage...

Your interpretation is correct both RAW and RAI. There is a YouTube video where Crawford describes it. In that video, which I probably can't find, Crawford quotes a hypothetical warlock saying something along the lines of "douse the candle so that my patron grants me sight". So yes, the dim...

Good points! Now, with my suggested feat I will still end up with 20 Dex at level 8 for the specific character the feat was designed for. The comparison of opportunity cost for the specific character is: +2 Str (12 instead of 10) vs Able to attack at 120 ft without disadvantage instead of 30 ft...

At level 8: +8 to hit, 7 to 15 (average 11) damage per hit when using kensei's shot and not having the normal sharpshooter feat. If I instead take the normal sharpshooter feat or would be +7 to hit, 6 to 14 damage (average 10) when not using the extra damage. +2 to hit and average 20 damage per...

Thanks! It was pretty quick during the session, but hearing that others have come to the same conclusion without problems removes any concerns I had :)

Background: Today a one-shot turned into the start of a campaign. My character is a kensei monk with sling as the ranged kensei weapon. Since 30 ft is a rather short range I want to ignore the long range penalty, and dealing with partial cover just slows down play. However, the whole extra...

It probably depends a lot on the kind of game and group. For a dungeon crawl it might be more than enough. If you happen to have the same preferences as me it might be worth talking to the DM and find some in-world conflict or similar more specific hooks from the beginning. I guess you plan...

I think some spells might require winds of certain strength to remove the effects. For other effects, just check a suitable wind strength scale and the effects there to base rulings on.

You start by mentioning the person you are asking the question. Then you pose the question. If you want examples, go to the profile of whoever you are asking and check their replies to others. That way you can see how they asked the questions.

The soul is forfeit, and will be connected upon death. The actual collection part is probably not that interesting. The character learning that the soul is forfeit IS interesting. Who does he learn it from? Maybe the succubus comes by to gloat (or to kiss)? Another priest or similar recognizing...

Are you planning on going for a weapon build or a spells build? I currently play a chain pact warlock, but no longer have a familiar. It simply died too often and I ran out of components to get it back. I would go for blade of you intend to use a weapon a lot. It's still a weapon that you...

What tone and themes are you going for? What kind of challenges? If you want "will our characters survive?" to be a big part, then don't use max hit points. If you run a more intrigue heavy campaign, where combat is more a change of pace or a way to get clues, then go for it! The hardest...

On one hand, it would give very little variation among classes I play. On the other hand, the suggested class for my birthday is in fact what I end up playing when in doubt... I think I like this chart, all things considered.

I would suggest paladin. If you go for barbarian, don't forget GWM. Barbarian without great weapon master only get fun damage numbers on a crit. The high damage on a crit is a 9th level feature, so if you want it I would recommend half-orc. Then you might as well be a paladin... Paladin with...

I'm not sure if I've retired a barbarian, but I've certainly decided not to play one. For me the problem is that the mechanics don't support the story I expect. I see barbarian and rages, I think of an aggressive damage dealer who can also handle taking a beating. My problem is that in my...

They send it to the person they are familiar with, and that person can reply. Now, if that person is around other people who don't know about the disguise, things might get awkward for them. Other than that, the recipient might simply "go into character" to keep up appearances. In short, if...

Thanks! That Infusion was what really got me excited about the artificer and thus this book. I really look forward to checking out what else that's in there, since I now have nothing I worry about.

Since I probably won't get hold of the book for at least another 18 hours: Will the infusions still let me play an Artificer with a magically reloading crossbow and an infinite supply magic bolts?
