Ok so Valor 10/Paladin 1/warlock 1 (blade) 2d6+5 +Truestrike 4d6+5 +5th level searing smite 10d6 = 66, more if they fail their save and don't die next round. Ah. Thought you ment 2nd level spells. Probably best to grab cure wounds. Bless is also good. And just to check. Level 3 divine smite...

No. It's bonus damage on your first turn. Changed for 2024. Advantage on initiative should also count for extra damage, as you get extra turns, but hard to say how much. And I was calculating for a straight paladin. Bard 12 would probably have Conjure Minor Elementals. So it's rogue...

Straight paladin has lay on hands, aura, different smites, and channel divinity. Also have more spell slots and a feat. Also, your can't use Cunning Action when you smite. Not saying it's better. But about the same. And thus Rogue/Paladin doesn't need the Con penalty. Paladin gets 22 damage...

What level? Because they happen a lot at level 1. Pretty rarely at level 12.

For a little more comparison TWF Paladin 12 3d6+15+3d8+4d8 = 57 Half a point behind the paladin 1/rogue11. It's really the green flame blade that's boosting rogue damage those stack, not smite. And the lack of Nick makes it only slightly lpowerful. Edit. To be complete Assassin 12, with...

You're moving the goal post even more. Because you where talking about single hit nova damage, and 75 is more than 57.5. Straight sorcerer. You would need to add in bardic inspiration to really see how much damage the bard is doing. (I.e turning an allies miss into a hit). And that's...

Your moving the goal post a bit. But Heighted and Silvery Barbs says Disintegrate has a pretty solid chance to land. Also, Vex isn't helping. You already hit. Nick certainly helps though. But they are still not beating the highest single hit. If we are talking multi-target. Chain lighting...

They only do 1 hit. It needs to be big. Which has nothing to do with ability perquisites Also, the rogue deals 70.5 damage, melee, assuming 2 targets in range (57.5 without). Disintegrate is 75, ranged, more with empowered metamagic

I can run an 8 Str / 16 Dex paladin just fine. Especially the playtest one who gets an AC bonus when not in heavy armor. The old smite had issues, but that doesn't really have anything to do with prerequisites. Rogue / pally isn't more powerful than Valor Bard pally.

Disagree. I can make a 16 Str / 8 Int wizard. Then in order to learn how to swing sword i need to study even more magic. Spend my feats to boost my Intelligence.

IMO, I just ignore the minimum requirement.

Rolling twice per attack. Attack and damage should be 1 roll. (Possibly d20+weapon+Str - AC) Ability Scores and modifiers. Should just be 1 number (could go either way, but not both).

Then PCs get +5 to all d20 rolls, DC, and AC. Everyone has 1 HP and all hits deal 1 damage. THP is capped at 1 (rage also absorbs 1 hit). Monsters won't hit often, but it's serious when they do.

That makes it more swingy, but I don't think it would be more interesting. Fighters are still going to walk into a room and just roll dice to see if they kill or die.

I posted this in the original thread but best I think might happen... New background Purple Dragon Knight: Ability Scores: Str / Int / Cha Skills: Persuasion, History Tools: ?? New Origin Feat: Gain Commander's Strike from the Battle Master. You can use it at-will, but the Superiority Die...

I'll note that no one has Str saves. So grapples, gust of wind, Ensnaring Stike can all be good. Add some platforms, and push.

How are their concentration saves? You could have a few archers/Eldrich Blasters in the next room, that rush in on round 2 and try to break the hold person. Sanctuary on a stunned or held target also works nice.

IMO, at-will low level spells, but lots of "metamagic". Level 1: get 2 cantrips and 2 Amps. You can use your Bonus action to apply an Amp to the next Psychic spell you cast this turn, including subclass spells. Amps -add Int to damage roll, plus Int point spent -increase range by 30', plus...

It's a pretty classic Wish twist to get far more than you expected. I.e. wish for gold, get buried in gold. So you Wish for an eclipse, you get a perpetual and global eclipse.

Don't think that works. The net is not a light weapon, and doesn't qualify for Nick. You can still Net + Fast Hands a rope though. Also, I kind of feel like using a Whip + Slasher feat and call him Bond would be appropriate.
