He is however, he is also stealthy, smart, tough, and throws Batarangs level 1: 16str 16dex 16con 16Int 10Wiz 10cha would be 38/27 point buy using standard human +1 to all So the closest you could get as a level 1 D&D character would be: level 1: 11str 16dex 14con 16Int 10Wiz 10cha would be...

Agreed. The problem with removing Dex melee is this punches anyone who wants to be a sneaky batman style melee fighter. They are now "taxed" having to use strength and dex. Also where does this leave you with monks? You just don't allow them? The reason for all the dex builds at tables is...

(0.0) I want to play this dungeon! That is a unique idea a that would a fun exercise in "you can't just fight and break your way though everything... sometimes you need to talk it out or even... dare I say it … run away for dear life." Most of the parties I have ever been in don't ever try to...

So GM never uses strength mechanics or role play, players stop using strength, GM blames it on player... got It. lol I would submit the GM is also a player. ;) I think players are playing in the GMs world so there does need to be consent to that however I also think a GM has no game if there...

One handed swords, cutting/slashing weapons should all be finesse. Cutting edge weapons are about control and only a few pounds of pleasure are required to be useful. However, they are virtually useless against strong armor that convers the damage into concussive force. Its not that it shouldn't...

So here is the thing. your problem is not that Dex is good. It's not a problem for players to build with tactical optimized characters as you said the player is a min-max player.... so your punishing them for having a play style that is not "Narrative above all!" however, playing the "skilled...

Well it depends mostly on line of sight and GM discretion. I would say if your scouting forward the stealth rules state "You can’t hide from a creature that can see you" PHB p177, this has a couple of implications because stealth is NOT all or none. With that in mind, if your party is not being...

By far the most daily useful cantrip in real life, in my opinion. Prestidigitation: This spell is a minor magical trick that novice spellcasters use for practice. You create one of the following magical effects within range: You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as a...

If you 100% sure you want to multi-class Fighter is a easy fit but I see what you mean about cleric. though also action surge does not have the 1 spell lvl 1+ and a cantrip in a turn restriction UNLESS you also try to cast a spell as bonus action like misty step that would invoke the rule...

I agree that GMs often nerf illusion making it hard to play semi useless. I honestly feel like Going cleric is conflict to "he is an Great old One trapped in a mortal vessel" it does matter if its in his head or not, being a cleric implies following a Deity out side your self. I would...

I would be glad to look at what your thinking and offer advice however it would be hollow and pointless without context. Examples: 1. You obviously want to play a Wizard, but why the multi-class? Are you optimizing for a melee caster or are you just looking for some creative subtest flare? 2...

Well you are certainly entitled to your opinion. I am aware that warlocks have "Pact Magic" instead of "Spellcasting" the point was to make a variant of the variant rule to preplace pact Magic instead. Using the alternate system other full casters have access too but adapting it to fit warlocks...

The point system is the book, we both agree on that. The alterations to apply it to the pact magic are my own. So you saying the point system doesn't exist and it does in the same breath is a critique on my wording not my point. Perhaps a miscommunication of our intend to each other. So let me...

The point system for spell casting is already in the DMG p288-289 so I didn't actually create anything new to D&D 5e and their is no reason it could not apply to a warlock. However, I like the pact magic mechanic so I wanted to see if I could make it work with a Pact Magic style of play. For...

Warlock Syphon Instead of getting a patron to grant them magic some have found ways of syphoning magic from creatures or other magic items. This continual theft of magic makes them fugitives from victims who are inherently more powerful. As a result the Syphons are quite often paranoid seeking...

The way I read this variant it would basicly replace the entire spell slot system of pact magic with sorcerer metamagic. However, if we wanted to allow some of the intent of the warlock pact spell slots recharging on a short rest with the point system with a new table like this: lvl 1 (Max...

I prefer #2 as long as you use higher level spell slots. Damage spells that don't allow you to scale them with higher spell slots are a large annoyance of mine. I prefer almost all spells to have some scale ability but I also think lower level spells slots like 1 & 2 should have a great deal of...

Wow, you went of striate to condescending and irate for no reason. I know that its once a day because it says so explicitly and your not denying it nor am I. You are guilty of what you accusing me of. My point was that only having 2 spell slots makes being able to restore them more important in...

No I didn't miss that how often are you only going to have 10 mins instead of an hour to rest? His point is that it is niche in that respect because you can't just use it all the time so its limited use and better when you have more spell slots later. My point is that in its niche of "we are in...

"You make a calming gesture, and up to three willing creatures of your choice that you can see within range" ...er… you can use it on your self and you get two spell slots starting at level 2 but this is a 3rd level spell so even if warlocks could get it they would already have 2 slots. Since...
