I hate to burst your bubble but you are incorrect on thrown weapons and Paladin Smites. Melee or Ranged. A weapon is classified as either Melee or Ranged. A Melee weapon is used to attack a target within 5 feet, whereas a Ranged weapon is used to attack at a greater distance. The Thrown...

It’s certainly more humane than summoning an actual live animal and mentally forcing it to fight and die so that you may live and loot the room.

It’s not really any different than a Sorcerer casting a cantrip and Quicken Fireball. More restrictive really since it MUST be centered on the target.

My gaming group actually started the swap over during the playtest mid campaign. I was DM’ing the Legendary Planet AP from levels 1-20. I think we started the playtest material around levels 15-17 and went to 20. Party consisted of Oath of Ancients Paladin, Way of Astral Self Monk, Aberrant Mind...

High AC and little to back it up with just means you’re likely to be the last one to die when things go sideways on the way to TPKville. That or the DM just gets annoyed at not being able to hit you and throws stuff at you with Con or Int saves all the time.

Great, now we’re going to devolve into a debate on how railroady this thread is.

You mean the kobold with 5 hp that could be one shot with an arrow or javelin or a cantrip with just as much a chance at success without spending any resources?

Sure, but can anyone honestly tell me they wasted a Hold Person spell on a kobold?

Something my beautiful wife just pointed out to me when I was talking to her about the changes of some species from humanoid to aberration or fey and how things like Charm Person and Hold Person don’t work on them anymore and she immediately fired back with “Yeah, but spells like Protection From...

Yup! I Googled it and was like “Crap. I’ve been wrong about something pretty much my entire life and society failed to correct me until now.”

LOL my phone autocorrected and I didn’t notice it but I am now educated on the correct meaning. Oddly enough it’s relevant either way!

Wait, does that mean the Psionic Grey Ooze is now the penultimate evolution of Halflings?

Except this tactic will never work for the Bladelock. The Putrid Spirit takes its turn immediately after you finish your turn. The paralyzed condition only lasts until the end its (the targets) next turn. Meaning the Bladelock will never get a swing at it while it is paralyzed. Depending on...

This won’t work. Each creature can only be targeted once per casting of the spell. It’s in the upcast description: Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. The damage increases by 1d8 for each spell slot level above 1. The orb can leap a maximum number of times equal to the level of the slot expended...

So I came up with an alternate concentration rule that my groups have been running with since nearly the beginning of 5E. I DM for one group and play in the other. I ran HOTDQ to level 17 (added some other things to get it to that level) and ran the Legendary Planet adventure path to level 20...

I think some Animal Farm is going on here and some votes count more than other votes? Now it’s down to 114.3%

About time! 😜
