I don't allow chain awakenings with group initiative. In the circumstance described I would have allowed the injured goblin to wake one other goblin and finish his turn. Then it would be the PCs turn as the newly woken goblin was asleep when his turn started. The newly awake goblin would be...

Because it has an unusual death effect (if reduced to 0 you die) it's something the players may not be prepared for. If it's battled at range it is a pushover. If on the other hand it is battled at close range and gets a decent initiative the DC16 death attack can easily kill a 4th level PC...

Here's some stuff I tend to use when I expect the party to run. Everyone makes mistakes - players and GM's - and I would rather my players did stuff and got it wrong than were super cautious 1) have the enemy be not just too powerful but way way way too powerful. So 3 fire giants v a 7th level...

I think you are probably right that a 16 Str paladin using all spells as smites does less damage in melee over a day with 2 short rests between long rests than a 20 Str fighter. In those circumstances, against foes where no fear is imposed, nor spell damage or saving throws needed to be made the...

So they each do 33 damage as a standard. Then the fighter action surges and does 66(+25) for 91. The paladin recklessly burns 3 3rd level slots for +54 total 87. I agree the fighter using all their abilities in one round does beat the paladin, by 4 Next round the fighter does 33 the paladin...

I don't think that Paladins are overpowered at levels 1-4. At those levels they are comparable with fighters, barbarians and Rangers - their class peers. At 5th level they start to pull away. At that level fighters get multi attack and their second wind increases by 1hp, Paladins get...

Does anyone know the clerics name?

I had a friend who thought that. His 3rd level character had about 140hit points until I explained the error.

14 or 16 isn't hard to get and +2 or +3 to all saves makes a big difference. +4 is harder to get but worth it if you can swing it. You don't need massive con because you've got good defences and lay on hands if your hit points falter. A regulation human 27 point buy can get Str 16 Cha 16 con...

The last comment about multiclassing could be true, but I'm talking about the Paladin class v the other melee classes that fit in the same broad niche. Barbarian fighter, ranger. I think it's pointless to compare spellcasting and non spellcasting classes so I'm not. My point is that until about...

I wish smite was the only issue, then I'd just change that but in a game so tightly tied to bounded accuracy getting +3 or +4 to all saves is a huge deal. One of my players has suggested that Paladins of 6th level or higher are "the best magic item in the book". How's this for a demented high...
