    I've done similar with traps. Not to this level though.

    D&D (2024) Avenger of The Silver Flame build

    Ok. Second attack can use Dex. Per the free rules... Light When you take the Attack action on your turn and attack with a Light weapon, you can make one extra attack as a Bonus Action later on the same turn.

    D&D General Hands slot economy

    I rarely see people swap what they are holding in combat. Mostly because they took a feat / options / items that makes them good at that particular thing. I.e. great weapon master with a +2 greatswoed ,isn't going to swap to a dagger very often.

    D&D General Eberron: Mark of Death

    Do we know that? Some alt history speculation. Perhaps the mark made it easy to become undead. When you die, you become an undead. Perhaps you slowly decay into one while still alive, and also infect the mark on others. It was the families around those with the mark got into necromancy in...

    D&D (2024) Avenger of The Silver Flame build

    Pact of the Blade only affects 1 weapon, not 2. I don't see how your replacing an attack with GFB. Valor Bard, Eldritch Knight, and Bladesinger can do that, but it takes more than a dip. Consider Dance Bard 3, which will give you expertise for stealth and Dex+Cha for AC. Extra spell slots for...

    D&D (2024) Best cleric for a skirmishing party?

    It's already a cleric. But yea. Druids would work well with this too. True. Less slots on healing allows for more on Bless, would means more hits and more push/slows.

    D&D (2024) Best cleric for a skirmishing party?

    Compared to 60' cantrips? Not sure how that makes a difference. And your using Str over Wis, so any control spells (command) is less likely to land. I don't have a problem with ranged weapons. Or reach. Other party members do that. Archer battlemaster and a wild hear barbarian with pike +...

    D&D (2024) Best cleric for a skirmishing party?

    *Stealth is useful, but doesn't directly help with the keep away. * advantage in melee isn't. The goal is to say away. *without masteries I don't see much benefit with weapons over sacred flame. *or crossbows. But the teleport away and extra spell range is useful. What about war? If they get...

    D&D (2024) Best cleric for a skirmishing party?

    What cleric goes best with a skirmisher/ movement control party? I.e. long bow, crossbow, Ray of frost, bonus action disengage, pike + polearm master (Reaction push), web, etc...

    D&D (2024) "Sword" and Board Build?

    Works the same. Possibly a little better since Spear has Sap, which boost your defense.

    Elemental monk in particular. Reach, push, and later fly. And your trapped in a small room, go Wolf and give the monk advantage on every attack.

    D&D (2024) Tier List. Barbarian Review and Ratings.

    Wild Heart is very good at kiting. Grab a pike and polearm master, and can shove the enemy away, dash back, reaction attack again if they get close, maybe even climb a wall and throw javelin/Tridents (+ Nick throw a dagger). Add in Forceful and Hamstring and you can play keep away very well...

    D&D (2024) Is a heavy armored monk feasible?

    Seems redundant with Deflect Attack. Also, while heavy armor is mostly flavor, shields are a big buff. You're not really trading away damage to get +2AC. Still doing full damage. Works. Don't see the flavor or synergies here. None of the other features requires a weapon. Also, this is...

    D&D (2024) Is Combat Tedious on Purpose?

    Then just say something like.. "After a quick skirmish, the goblins lie dead at your feet. You took 10 damage in the exchange and the wizard used one of his slots". Or use one of the more story oriented games. D&D is the biggest, but not the only one out there.

    D&D (2024) Is Combat Tedious on Purpose?

    Compared to... Attack for damage Attack for damage Attack for damage Attack for damage ... Attack for damage, you killed it. Then yea. Throwing in a bonus action to knock prone now and then is good thing. But throw in too much and you it becomes convoluted.

    D&D (2024) Is a heavy armored monk feasible?

    Should be ok as a subclass feature. I mean, Beserker adds 2d6 damage. Zealot adds 1d6+2. So going from 2d6+Dex with two short swords to 2d6+Dex+2 greatsword and +1 AC isn't a huge power bump. That said, Avenger is Dex and Wis with high mobility, and lowish HP. Seems more like a monk subclass...
