Yet they tend to have *more* of other abilities. You are selectively ignoring whatever doesn't fit your narrative.....

I like the addition of Blink.... but how did you get access to that spell? Its not on the Warlock list

That only makes sense if there is an external (marketing) requirement for them to level after every episode. If the story doesn't have enough content to gain a level from Episode 6, then they will be the same level for episode 7. My point is that the "need" to be able to call it a "1-15"...

He is being blinded by a number. the power difference between level 1 and level 20 is huge, the proficiency bonus is only a small part of that. Just between level 2 and 4: 50% more cantrips 66% more spells Spell slots went from 1st to 2nd level Cha bonus went from +3 to +4 (Or maybe +4 to +5)...

Aside from people on the internet making claims.... have you experienced GWF actually slowing down game play? I just can't see it adding more than a few seconds to the round. *Maybe* a full minute or two to the entire session if multiple people have it. And rerolling your 1-2 is part of the...

I think the 'milestone' system is a cop out. It means that a 1-15 AP isn't really 1-15. They are able to put in some mini-adventure with no where near enough content to go up a level, and then just declare "hey, its a milestone, level up!" It would be one thing if there was enough content...

Really....??? It takes what, an additional 4 maybe 5 seconds? Okay, lets be crazy and say its 10 seconds..... is that really a concern? As for your question... it will work, just decide ahead of time if you are rounding up or down.

Warlocks are a different style of play, they can do less, but they tend to do it better and bigger. IOW, at 5th level, the wizard is casting Firebolt for 11 damage, and only against 1 target. The Warlock is casting EB for 19 damage, and can split between two different people if he wants. Thats...

The missed the best part of the combo.... you also cast Armor of Agathys and Blade Ward. Then run around letting people hit you. (You can keep an absorb elements available if you want)

That will almost never be a worthwhile choice, especially at the early levels. -5/+10 is situational, you want to use -5/+2.5..... never happen.

Don't bother with sleep anymore. Creature HP scale much faster than your extra dice for upcasting. H Pattern is a good AoE control spell.

I could see that if it was 'doing' evil, like perhaps killing by sucking souls into the Abyss.... or creating pestilence in the area.... etc. But just 'being evil' wouldn't be enough, as long as what it was *doing* wasn't evil. If the evil sword was killing the evil dragon, and the evil...

Flaming Arrow vs Hunter's Mark People often forget that HM only has a 90' range, there have been a number of times that my Longbow Archer was targeting at 100'+.... so flaming arrow would have worked when HM didn't.

Yeah.... but oil costs money, needs to be transported, has a very limited range, probably need to roll to hit, then has to be lit, and only lasts 2 rounds.

I think it is important to figure out what the sword wants out of "life". If it just really really likes killing things, then it is better off with a LG paladin than a Chaotic Evil baron, or as part of a dragon's treasure. Think of it as another party member.... is the party (and the weilder...

Earth Tremor vs Thunderwave. EW has a much larger AoE, it can knock targets prone, it creates difficult terrain.... and it *DOESN"T* make a huge noise heard a football field away. Conjure Bonfire: Besides being way cool.... it can be used for battlefield control, block off a doorway, put it in...

Why are people against SS/GWM, but okay with Bless. Bless adds more damage. Feats like PAM and CE both add extra attacks, which are usually much more damage than SS/GWM. Most of the examples of the "broken" SS/GWM feats includes combining with PAM/CE and Bless...... thats why it does a lot of...

The same could be said about paying a Thief, or a Tiefling. Or how Mages are always keeping secrets, or how barbarians are always yelling and running into battle, or.... Saying "The race made me do it" or "The class made me do it" is just as bad as "My character trait made me do it" The...

If you have a player that is being "annoying as hell" or is "wandering off with your stuff" or "undermining party unity" and is in any way using their PCs race *or* class *or* background to validate their boorish behavior.... then you need to find better players. None of those things are...

This is ridiculous. When I walk along the top of a building, my not jumping isn't because I am filled with fear; I don't jump because I know I will die. Just because you are not living in fear of the consequences, does not mean you are unaware or unconcerned with the consequences. It means...
