The expressed reason to do this is that monsters critical hitting can kill low level characters outright and that this is not fun. Absolutely true, but nerfing monsters is not fun either. Nerfing the paladin or rogue is very not fun. Better to address this with a look at the death system, or by...

The only thing that I would outright get rid off if it were me is the crit thing.

Some thoughts that are just my humble opinion on some of the hot points that I've seen argument about. With respect to any who disagree, I hope that WOTC gives a serious read to these discussions on the One D&D play testing. 1. 'Removing monster crits is bad for the game'. Agree. I get that...

I recommend variant human. If you are using Tasha's Fey Touched feat was worthwhile to misty step into the middle of the bad guys or out of harms way. Only played low levels for that character but at low levels sleep was really good too. If they are low enough to put to sleep, an attack from you...

So after some campaign delays, we're near level 7 in this campaign. In play, so far, Wails from the Grave is useful to spread a little damage to a secondary target. Targets that are near death, casting a spell or riding something seem best. Used the Rune Knight' Cloud rune when the barbarian was...

I think you could find some middle ground on how to do spells. Like since he's a wizard, and a god, you could say, He knows all the spells in the PHB and probably others, but if attacked, he usually uses x and name an at-will or two, a reaction, a bonus action and a couple of 1/day or 3/day...

Been having fun with a Phantom Rogue/Rune Knight Fighter. Wails from the Grave and Cloud Rune give you some chances to mess the enemy up with 'no, you get hit.' With a feat I get Green Flame Blade and can potentially hit 4 targets. With fighting style I took Sweeping Attack (yes, I know it's a...

Currently playing a Dhampir Phantom Rogue. His parents were thrall to a vampire lord. She was destroyed by hunters but they lived as her spawn. He has a good relationship with his parents who escaped to the underdark and does not resent that they are now vampire spawn. 'Best thing for them...

Correct, Hexblade modifies an existing weapon, it does not create a new kind of weapon, but it could not create a dhampir bite for the hexblade or change the effects of the bite. The Dhampir bite is not a new weapon as if it were a new variant on an axe or mace, but the bite counts as a weapon...

Correct. What the hexblade weapon can do is not in the weapon description. It's in the character description. What the bite can do is in the Dhampir description, not a description of teeth. If the bite was in the weapons table, it would list the properties, and the Dhampir description says that...

The Special Property is a game term like finesse or heavy or light referring to the kind of weapon. The Dhampir's teeth count as a natural weapon and as a simple martial weapon with which you are proficient, not finesse, not heavy and not 'special'. RAW They do not have the special property...

Only using the optional rules in Tasha's. The Kensei can do it making the bite a Kensei Weapon.

One uses Strength and the other Con. The path of the wild allows you to do a different bite attack using a different ability. Use one or the other. You don't lose the ability to do the Dhmpir bite when you rage, but remember that it doesn't get the rage bonus to damage because it does not use...

Rule zero Don't be a jerk. Rule one Let them play. Natural one always a miss. (Does not cause extra consequences unless the situation calls for it). Natural 20 always a hit (does not trump success being impossible). Surprise can happen anytime that the target is unaware of any threat, even if...

I played a Hexblade to 19th level, and took feats late in the campaign Martial initiate and fighting initiate to get maneuvers but by then, I kept forgetting I even had them. I was using eldritch Smite and that was very effective. I didn't usually use Lifedrinker with is a great eldritch...

Interesting, I see that you are right about visibility. I had considered Cloud Rune as a way to hit a hard to hit enemy. i.e. target the minion and the Rune Knight uses the Cloud Rune to shift it to the BBEG if the roll is high.

Thanks. You do need to see the new target as it is written. 'when you or a creature you can see within 30 feet of you is hit by an attack roll'. As for surprise with the assassin, I'm inclined as DM to allow it. What if the first target has not acted yet but the second has? That can have an...

With an invocation of the Cloud Rune, the new target becomes the target of the attack and of 'all it's effects with the same roll'. I read this that if the attack has advantage, then the higher roll becomes 'the same roll' meaning the roll that determines the hit. What if the triggering attacker...

I played a Barbarian (Berserker) to 20th level in 5e. I recommend going straight Barbarian. Personally, I only feel like multi-classing is worth it if you see a specific ability that you need for your build. If you just want some fighter, then consider Fighting Initiate, Martial Initiate and...
