    D&D 5E (2014) Why I believe these survey's are worthless but not useless?

    Yeah that's a great plan. Let's get all this feedback from our users about what they want from our products. Then we can completely ignore that feedback and hand them whatever crap we want, when we want, and how frequently we want to. Who cares that they will stop buying our products and...

    Nah in the case of forgery and impersonation the check is against a check by the npc so I don't get much control over if they pass or not. Though if they succeed on one of those two checks (we'll say disguise first since it's the first thing the npc's would be able to notice) the other check is...

    Yes I have been lucky with my dm's, and so have my players, sorry your dm's have brought you to the viewpoint that combat is the only measure by which characters should be measured or that combat is the only measurement that actually matters.

    Okay you failed your try to go straight through the guard checkpoint plan... Why is that the only possible plan? How about actual stealth infiltration. You know wait for night, climb to a high window, go in that way. How about bribing one of the known castle suppliers to smuggle you in on a...

    Last D&D Survey Results In! Plus What's Up With The Ranger?

    In all honesty I just think they should do a straight up ranger splat. Not a hardcover or anything. No longer than the 3e sword and fist book, and even that might be a bit too much unless there's a lot of fluffy short story for stuff in it. Give out a few different ranger type classes and...

    Last D&D Survey Results In! Plus What's Up With The Ranger?

    I have to agree, the ranger doesn't actually seem that bad, at least with certain builds. I think that is my only main issue with the current ranger is that making it work well requires a little bit of system mastery. Though outside of that they seem to be fairly capable characters.

    Is it time that the Warlord gets the "Damage on a Miss" treatment?

    Would that mean threads that get jacked get tossed into that side forum or just ones created for the express reason of discussing the warlord and connected topics are placed there? It would likely make sense to cordon off the warlord threads. Makes it easier to track all the current...

    Wasn't the big issue with a multiclass suggestion that you can't be what you want from first level? At this suggestion you are still looking at at least 6th level if not 10th level before your concept is realized.

    What is the damage on a miss treatment?

    Actually I've definitely seen complaints about bless. What is too strong at level three: being able to grant attacks that automatically have advantage and being able to do it from range with superiority dice. That while also being able to heal like a cleric, use bardic inspiration style dice...

    To be fair, that is exactly what we have been going over for the past few pages. I suggested a 12th level build that encapsulates what people want (admittedly with a little extra, but that extra actually goes to accomplishing the what I want to be able to do as a warlord type character) and the...

    Healer feat Master of tactics Action surge Attack action with a superiority die used on both attacks. That's the actions used in my example, and my example was more to show that yes this is s character of 12th level strength and contribution, and is contributing in exactly the requested manner...

    You get that this character's action economy is insane right. Yeah he doesn't have disintegrate. He can walk up next to someone heal them, help them in their next attack against an enemy within 30 feet, then attack that enemy twice and direct the strike to have the guy you just healed attack...

    See the problem with stripping out the abilities you don't want (or more precisely need) is toy are still going to end up at about 9th or tenth level to get all of those abilities we want: Superiority dice Bardic inspiration Spell casting (or comparable feature that allows for healing) Master...

    Wtf are you babbling about 18 levels. It's a 12th level character, and yeah if you can't see the problem with having the capabilities of a 12th level character at 3rd level, the problem is on your end and is indicative of the whole everything you suggest for a warlord is overpowered and broken...

    5 levels of battle master, 3 levels of mastermind, 4 levels of valor bard. Take Healer and Inspiring leader as feats. Use the healing word spell from bard.

    That's what stat replacement (using strength in place of int, or int in place of strength) is. Greater optimization at a lower construction cost. Being able to dump strength while still hitting like the strongest person in the world because you are using int to swing is entirely greater...

    Or I use both my actions to provide advantage to my gang, because I'm the planner not the doer. Also dc's in this game are so low that the +3 while often eaten by the d20 makes your minimum effectiveness higher. Trust me I've had characters fail a lot of DC 5 int checks because they only have...

    And I would vehemently disagree with that assessment because it completely ignores situational context. While in combat the 20 dex rogue is better, in the actual planning, researching, investigation, and infiltration stages (you know the parts where the mastermind is supposed to shine the most)...
