    D&D (2024) Can A Spell Caster Out Damage a Martial Consistently?

    I saw it used last night. Bhaalists with murder aura (vulnerability to piercing damage)and unstoppable. Casters with hold person got put higher up in initiative. 7 opponents got held.

    D&D 5E For those playing 2014 5e, how are you reacting to the 2024 update?

    It's how to make the most of them imho. I don't like spells with say a 1 in 3 chance of failure. Hit multiple targets odds are a few fail saves.

    D&D (2024) 2024 D&D: now available for the rest of us

    Locally yes. Might get 2nd restock but if so intital one was tiny. Not sure if they had phb. But I can get third phb and 2nd MM now. Thinking about it. Alt covers are pretty but can take a beating

    I'm with 10kg of my 1997 weight. Don't care about muscle mass or anything just want to be lean. Chicken salad sigh.

    D&D 5E For those playing 2014 5e, how are you reacting to the 2024 update?

    I don't like single target save or suck. Also target the right saves. I like twinned spells, upcast level 1 spells and things like slow.

    D&D 5E For those playing 2014 5e, how are you reacting to the 2024 update?

    They're even bigger buckets of hp and outside of missing types thro saving throws are still mediocre. Makes them very vulnerable to buffed spells especially low level ones.

    D&D (2024) Can A Spell Caster Out Damage a Martial Consistently?

    Wouldn't argue much vs that statement. My players figured out heavy armor is bad long time ago. They generally have 14 dex medium armor especially clerics. Espicially when they have to use a bow and you have 8 or 10 dex at best and throw weapons with disadvantage.

    D&D (2024) Can A Spell Caster Out Damage a Martial Consistently?

    The issue wasn't they exist but you let the be bought in bulk on the best weapon types. Vicious one handed weapons (not twf ones) or bows they're fine. Vicious daggers probably fine as well maybe scimitar. One PC had to sign a infernal pact for her staff.

    D&D 5E For those playing 2014 5e, how are you reacting to the 2024 update?

    Yeah noticing that. Only had 3 combats yesterday because Vampire spawn fir exampke have almost double the HP. So do fights. A low fight took a while. Another medium fight everything got paralyzed other medium fight the CR 11 got 1 action the CR3s did marginally better due to be targeted...

    D&D (2024) Can A Spell Caster Out Damage a Martial Consistently?

    I run it as just because in phb you can't buy it in unlimited quantities. That's more common magic items and full plate. You can buy full players but not 10 suits of it. Vendors restock about once a week depends though. Even with my more limited numbers available my PCs aren't exactly...

    D&D (2024) Can A Spell Caster Out Damage a Martial Consistently?

    His expectations are actually fairly close to the new DMG guidelines. Only thing his group differently to most was bulk buying the best equipment. When I did my stress test I let PCs pick with veto power to stop something like ECOM3 group. I didn't know about vicious weapons then. You woukd...

    D&D 5E For those playing 2014 5e, how are you reacting to the 2024 update?

    Sorta. Inflated monster HP overall still results in an overall nerf I suppose.

    D&D 5E For those playing 2014 5e, how are you reacting to the 2024 update?

    You can get similar numbers now without the -5 part. Vicious weapon+great weapon master feat. Or dual wielding smiting paladin.

    D&D General Would You Play High Level (12-15);Wiith Pre Generated Characters? Mostly 5.0/5.5 but theoretically any edition.

    Other RPGs are an occasional thing you see occasionally. Outside USA they're also expensive espicially if you font end up using them. D&D Facebook group does allow other ROGs to be discussed and advertised. Usually get 0 replies and there's no dedicated RPG for anything that's not D&D maybe...

    D&D (2024) Can A Spell Caster Out Damage a Martial Consistently?

    Maybe. I gave a sword and board user a vicious weapon because of the power of the other feats/styles. I would only do sword and board as a Paladin or EK tbh. That's using probably the best damage dealer vs weakest martial though. I didn't crunch out a level 11+ wizard with CME pre...

    D&D (2024) Elemental Adept is a Bad Feat. Elemental Damage Vs Radiance Etc
