Let me address the 800 pound gorilla riding an elephant in the room here (other than the companions having far insuficient hp). Your animal companion is 30 feet away. You are both attacked by orcs. You are less than 5th level. Each turn, you and your companion are each attacked by orcs. On...

Bring back the Dexbarian!

Yes, 1-2 PUnch should add STR to both attacks. You are also right that you shouldn't be allowed to use a 2-handed weapon with it. Yes, both effects take place, and each allows a save (one is a STR save, the other is a CON save)

I know these need some work, but this is just a starting idea for an unarmed fighter who isn't a monk. Before anybody complains about this taking the place of the Tavern Brawler feat, part of the point is that you can make a character concept (unarmed fighter who is tough and not a monk) at...

I saw this versatility too. After reading the Gentlemen Bastards series, I got really inspired and created "Deric the Cleric", who is actually a Bard with the Charlatan background and the Lore build. He casts cure wounds, etc. like a cleric, but his "inspiration" spell works differently...

You don't need to worry about min-maxing because multi-classing is actually not very advantageous . You miss out on ability score improvements, extra attacks, and higher level spells by multi-classing. Level dipping is even less smart because it cuts you off from the highest level...

As a Dexbarian (I was hawk totem during the playtest, and contemplated scrapping the character or changing classes when dex based options were removed from the final product) I definitely am going this route. My dex is maxed, con is next.  Yes you lose out on STR to hit with melee... Use a...

Actually just noticed the "Awaken" Spell is the permanent alternative to Animal Friendship and seems to be the way to get a GOOD animal companion (not that thing the ranger gets). It is a 5th level spell that costs 1,000 GP to cast that makes an animal (up to Huge Size) gain an Int of 10...

I was just going to make a post asking this same question because I was reading the PHB and saw the Druid WITH A PET TIGER as a clear illustration in the Druid entry. Yes, they can cast Animal Friendship; but it has a duration of 24 hours. I guess they have to devote a permanent spell slot to...

The ranger's animal companion is so weak (and so so utterly fragile) that as a GM I'd allow a player with the Hunter Archetype to just have it for free. It isn't all that powerful and adds a nice perk to a class that definitely doesn't seem to be overpowered.

Oh you are right, didn't remember about the "cannot rage in heavy armor" thing.

Ahem, let me repeat That feat also gives proficiency with Heavy Armor as well as DR.

I chose Fighter. Much improved over previous playtests. Barbarian just.... ARG! Weaker in each succeeding playtest, and now much less versatile, too (no Dex-based Barbarian options). I can see liking it if you want to be Strong do lots of damage with strength and get hit all the time, but now...

It gets even better. A dwarven Barbarian eventually gets faster movement (35') which isn't affected by armor and by 4th level can take the Heavy Armor feat that gives them Damage Reduction equal to their Constitution bonus. That combined with the raging giving Resistance to...

Hobgoblin Traits: Ability Score Increase: Your Dexterity increases by 2, your Constitution score increases by 1, Age: Hobgoblins age at the same rate as humans and can live nearly a century. Alignment: Hobgoblins have a tendency to gravitate towards order (often tyrannical in nature) and...

For what it's worth, I think they should do Mystara and possibly Hollow World. Those were the best.

And then I try to swim/use stealth and...

Did your barbarian wear armor? If so, the impact of this latest packet will not be nearly as severe as it would be for one that did not.
