    D&D (2024) Fireball/Lightning Bolt vs Chromatic Orb?

    Crits happen just as often as misses (at 95%). Average damage is the same. Upcasting chromatic orb can drastically up the damage. Sorcerers have an on tap advantage mechanic. Lucky feat you get it again. Generally you use it in your highest level slots. Eg don't fire a 4th level...

    Still playing 3e? Share your 3.0 and/or 3.5 house rules

    True. I'm not a fan of crit builds generally unless it's more guaranteed or 50/50 at least not 15% (big whoop).

    D&D (2024) Fireball/Lightning Bolt vs Chromatic Orb?

    Chromatic Orb isn't overpowered. Maybe B+. If you want a damage dealing would it would be my go to for classes lacking better options (most druids, clerics, Bards, warlocks). Think you're right about about skill. Saw a lot of whiffs yesterday bad luck buy also skill. High AC kept using...

    D&D (2024) Fireball/Lightning Bolt vs Chromatic Orb?

    Chromatic Orb whiffed very hard today. Probably because tge sorcerer though throwing them at AC 19 opponents was a good thing. And appalling dice rolling missing on 5 rolls to hit AC 19 with +9 to hit. Vs Camboons though fire resistance. Also lightning resistant. Light Cleric got an epic...

    D&D 5E I feel like the surveys gaslit WotC about """"Backwards Compatibility""""

    Think our sorcerer in effect it figuring out tgey can twin all their high level slots for cheap and still have sorcerery points left over.

    D&D 5E Which was the most recent Wizards adventure you consider a classic?

    Fair enough. We do 3.5-4.5 hours generally. 3-4 sessions a level. Players Vetoed ToA last year for a post BG3 themed game.

    Be interesting to see the differences. Now I want to play star wars RPG. And use TIE Avengers. They're basically an A-Wing and X-Wing combined.

    Ghorman massacred an old legends event 18 BBY or so. Tarkin landed a shuttle on a crowd and opened up. Wonder if they'll copy that part.

    D&D 5E Prepping for The Wild Beyond the Witchlight -- The Witchlight Carnival

    I'm using it as inspiration. I turned it into the carnival of souls. Blended it with rakdos guild ravnica. Attractions are more noc based and they had to collect circus points. . They were having fun but inadvertently ramping up the festivities. The goal is survive the night.

    D&D (2024) Fireball/Lightning Bolt vs Chromatic Orb?

    Transmutes not really needed imho. Exception might be an acid sorcerer. Not sure that proves fireballs a good spell though.

    D&D (2024) Draconic Gambler Build. Sorcery Guide

    So this build is a Draconic Sorcerer build for 5.5. It's a striker-controller hybrid. It's a refined build mined from reddit, youtubers specifically Treantmonk's Sorcerer build, Dungeon Dudes class guides and tier lists, and d4 D&D deep dives. Mixed with real life playtesting at level 12 and...

    D&D (2024) Fireball/Lightning Bolt vs Chromatic Orb?

    Can come down to how DM does encounters as well. 10d6 fireball is competing with synaptic static for sone classes. We don't upcast it generally due to opportunity cost. You don't get very many metabagic early on to take substitute spell. Building around negating fire resistance comes at...

    D&D (2024) Fighter, support and defense builds

    Martial tank works well. Support not so much. Healer feat and inspiring leader requires effort eg using shillagh.

    I noticed that. The empires only 16 years old if that. Dedra looks a lot older than that. Last few years in such a place at best.
