I have never played D&D without someone wanting to be "the scout" and even if they fail to spot the enemy they are always about 30ft forward meaning that any character moving 30ft and attacking would be 60ft away from the paladin and would likely double move for their turn not getting a chance...

It doesn't both me at all if a character is not optimized. I take feats like tavern brawler because I want to my barbarian to through his weapon on the floor and beat the crap out of NPC that disrespected his mom, etc. That said, while not optimal it has a purpose. I would hate to think paladin...

But again that implies paladins cast alot of spell instead of smiting while in melee range where they could get opportunity attacks. Almost all paladin spell that require empty hand for somatic components but don't have material components (18/19 Cure wounds being the only exception for all...

Which is largely why I didn't take that. "I enjoy finding a role, then finding away to perform that role in away that mechanically works but no one has seen." I am pretty sure pact of the chain scouts are pretty common. Also, I want to scout not have my familiar do it for me. Me scouting means I...

I enjoy finding a role, then finding away to perform that role in away that mechanically works but no one has seen. Point in case, my current character is a warlock pact of the tome scout, it works and its a lot of fun. My starting point was "what role do I want to be for the group? Scout... not...

Yep and of all those the only one you would use in battle instead of before or after (as a rule) is Cure wounds, which you can ignore with lay on hands....?

You can drop your weapon as a free action and pick it up as part of an attack...per RAW. So there is no mechanical impact... Are you saying Paladins are taking Warcasters so they don't have to explain that to their GM each round? Sounds like a strange meta reason for taking an unnessicary...

2 longsword for style is what I am thinking. It seems like they are taking it for the removal of the finesse requirement for duel wielding and the +1 to AC which doesn't require armor.

Sure, but that's not really what I am asking. What I am asking is, "Why?" Warcaster is not really a flavor feat its more of a function feat. Taking tavern brawler because you want to fist fight the party monk, actor to pretend to be the captain of the guard, skilled to fill out a story concept...

Attempt 2 with consideration to other wizards being in the world Cantrips Prestidigitation-- clean the dishes and laundry in 6 seconds Mending -- Fix things that I normally can't. Create Bonfire -- Warmth, cooking food, and light when you don't have wood or other fuels. Message -- whispering in...

It still seems like Paladin/X would favor Resilient CON over Warcaster but then its possible this metric includes X/Paladin and if your primarily a warlock, bard, or sorcerer you might have taken for that then taken 2 level of paladin for armor proficiency and smite incase of melee engagement...

I looked over this and thought nothing surprising here.... until I saw "Warcaster" as the #1 feat for paladin....Am I missing something? Why would Warcaster be a priority on class known for focusing their spell slots on smite damage? I know they have some concentration spells (Shield of Faith...

I am thinking based off the previous slides where they pointed out that character play after level 10 drops off, that is simply a result of campaigns restarting at lower level. Not 1% is not much of a variation (especially since these seem to be rounded % so it could be as low as .5%) so I...

You are correct. I was not thinking about it from the prospective wizards gone wild. However, I feel like their would be a wizard police if they are that common which means some protection like Nondetection are Mordenkainen’s Private Sanctum become vary important. I am updating my design with...

So I edited your answer down to really look at what's different between us.... I am so glad magic it not real right now. lol. I am feeling a "I work in customer service" vibe from your post. I was kind of going with the I am the only wizard in the real world approach but that works too. I think...

Healer is pretty important role in the group and a 5 man group is pretty large making it harder for each character to find a niche role to shine in. I would recommend going Life Cleric and focusing on being the be best healer you can be so that you are a master of that role but don't take or...

Sure... but is it the best in real life? I mean if your a gambler or a fighter sure but beyond that I don't see it as super useful day to day. That said, Simulacrum would be one of the more useful ones. A duplicate you that obeys you, has your knowledge base, doesn't eat drink or sleep. You...

There was another thread about the best cantrip in real life and it has just had be thinking... what if you were a full lvl 20 Wizard with 44 known spells by default and spell slots..... Slots lvl1: 4 | lvl2:3 | lvl3:3 | lvl4:3 | lvl5:3 | lvl6:2 | lvl7:2 | lvl8:1 | lvl9:1 = 22 total Known: 5...

I understood that YOU define it that way. My argument has and is that THEY don't. They even clarified that to be the case. BadEye spelled it all out for you very clearly. So I get why your saying that. I do. But that is not what they are doing. They are breaking the slide by subclasses but only...

So I am willing to allow your "I'm experienced" attempt of "authority on the subject" if you can recognize that while that might flavor your view, its entirely possible that is not the right approach when providing information to the general populace and not students/teachers of probability and...
