    D&D 5E (2014) Simulacrum and True Polymorph

    I might add that it can work for an object. And if you say the simulacrum is an object than why cast simulacrum at all? Just turn an object into the creature. Note also that you can't turn an object into another object with True Polymorph.

    True Polymorph

    You keep your memories and your alignment so that seems to make some sense. especially if you transform into a creature that might actually have those kinds of abilities. I agree that you don't become that specific person even if you look like say the arch-mage, but you could become a Drow...

    D&D 5E (2014) Simulacrum and True Polymorph

    The simulacrums would have a slot fewer each gen anyway, so no army even if it worked. That said, Sim is indeed an illusion. True polymorph works on an object too, but you only become a creature within the limitations of the spell (up to CR 9 I believe).

    True Polymorph

    These are the thoughts that kept me out of the really good schools. So, if this caster changed from say human into a drow (which by it's nature could still be a warlock), could he then still use his own spells? If he only gets the spells that the creature by it's nature gets, would he then be...

    True Polymorph

    So, if a caster, say a Warlock 17 Hexblade Pact of the Blade uses True Polymorph on himself. He needs to concentrate but if he concentrates until the full hour is up, it lasts until dispelled? In his new form, the warlock can only talk and cast spells if his new form allows such actions. Does...

    D&D 5E (2014) Defiler/Preserver Basic Idea (Darksun)

    i was thinking Preserver is a specialty that an arcane caster can take at 3rd or higher and replace his existing benefits from his prior specialty (Oathbreaker style). The preserver uses a bonus action and heals a small amount to allies around him when he casts a damaging spell. He also gains...

    There are CR and level limits on True polymorph creatures. You can still do plenty of awesome stuff however.

    Hexblade Feats

    Nice. On a related note, I don't see a difference between a halberd and a glaive. Is their one?

    Hex Warrior Feature Question

    So if you are Hexblade but choose another pact, like say pact of the tome, no two handed weapon. Nice. Makes sense.

    Hex Warrior Feature Question

    Interesting question, - Pact of the blade Pg. 107 PHB says it is a melee weapon. You choose the form it takes. It can be a magic weapon that you've bonded to. Xanathar's guide Pg. 56 says when you can use the Hew Warrior ability, 'Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one weapon that...

    Hexblade Feats

    The Hexblade's weapon is any melee weapon but the Hex Warrior feature doesn't allow the two handed property as I read it. Longsword is versatile so d10 if you use it two handed. If you want to use Charisma for attack and damage then you need a not two handed weapon. GWM uses strength.

    Hexblade Feats

    So here's a thought on the later levels of the Hexblade. Human and using a Longsword primarily as his weapon. With Charisma taking his ASIs at 4th and 8th, bringing him to 20 in his main attack stat. I wonder how worthwhile some feats might be. Warcaster which many like lets you use a spell...

    He's still a cleric and the spells are Cleric spells for him so, still divine as with other clerics. In the case of mine; Vecna.

    Is using a familiar in combat to grant advantage a common tactic?

    Normal Familiars would not always grant advantage in combat because they don't have attacks. If it's not a threat, it doesn't flank if you are using that optional rule. Some powers grant advantage when you have an ally adjacent and those would work with a familiar. If you have a special familiar...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 5E Ideas with running a Faire/Carnival scenario?

    I ran a high level game where the characters went to a carnival in Avernus and the ringmaster was a pit fiend in a loud costume. There was a food court where efreeti served illusiory food and drink as described in the Garden of Delights section of Tyrants of the 9 Hells in 3e. There was also a...
