    D&D 5E (2014) Pact of the chain - how did it work out?

    A Celestial Patron Pact of the Chain actually with Toll The dead as a primary weapon actually makes for a descent Warlock tank by using your bonus action each round to "regenerate" 30HP a turn by combining Healing light and the Gift of the Ever-Living Ones invocation. You don't use plate so you...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's fun about being a DM?

    I have only GM'd a maybe 10 times so maybe I am not qualified to answer... but, I enjoyed the prep work about as much as the game. I liked building the dungeons, finding the maps, making the puzzles, make the traps, drawing it out / sorting tiles, and programing for my digital sessions. It was...

    D&D 5E (2014) Single class Hexblade - missing something?

    Your welcome. I love warlocks but like I said, the don't quite get there for Pact of the Blade. Its a trap. I think the subclass I made is better for a warlock pact of Blade with the exception of a support damage with a reach weapon which as you said prevents the Darkness + Devil's sight...

    D&D 5E (2014) Single class Hexblade - missing something?

    I have three things for you. (I know it is a wall of text but I assure you it does contain options and serious feedback. I am not concise in my attempt to cover it all but I know there is chance no on will read it. Sorry.) 1. Your last thought is correct, the Hexblade is actually better as a...

    D&D 5E (2014) HOMEBREW - My first subclass attempt "Warlock Otherworldy Patron The Rilmani"

    It was suggested that I make this by my GM as a result of a conversation about about spell options and warlock taxes. I love the warlock class design but I feel like it gets in its own way a lot. I made this and he reviewed and like it but since it was his suggestion I feel it was made in a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Druid Natural Scale Mail Sources CR0-6 for starting characters lvl 1-4

    Ya wood is and interesting thing for druids, since there are some really hard woods out their that have been used for knives and even axes. Ebony for shields. I would not be opposed to a druid in tied on wood armor that looked like Groot but was actually in "druidic half-plate".

    D&D 5E (2014) Druid Natural Scale Mail Sources CR0-6 for starting characters lvl 1-4

    There are a several on the list that would qualify for plate, but I figure you could make scale mail using smaller pieces. Druids are proficient in medium armor so that comes up alot more though you could go human variant with the Heavily Armored feat or pick it up at 4th level. In that case...

    D&D 5E (2014) Druid Natural Scale Mail Sources CR0-6 for starting characters lvl 1-4

    The idea is these are medium or larger creatures with natural armor minimum AC14 (without the dexterity bonus) that might be obtained by druids as “Scale Male” for the sake of character creation using starting wealth for levels 1-4. It can be higher but I am working on the premise that you could...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do I resolve competing spells?

    Not only that but if the cheese becomes to great they end up fighting more and more Elves, Half-Elves, Fey creatures, and undead. Which is not uncommon anyway so its not like they will get to use that trick all the time. More over, That door swings both ways. My Current GM has a saying, "As your...

    D&D 5E (2014) Racial Min/Maxes on Ability Scores?

    Yes, that is as intended. The Standard array system would have to be reworked entirely. So a large buy for Charisma makes Orc sorcerer, bards, warlock more uncommon and more interesting when they do. As far as them being less than others, point buy allows for a push to max, so yes it cost more...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do I resolve competing spells?

    Charm person/monster "If it fails the saving throw, it is charmed by you until the spell ends or until you or your companions do anything harmful to it. " Charmed condition "A charmed creature can’t Attack the charmer or target the charmer with harmful Abilities or magical Effects." Dominate...

    D&D 5E (2014) Racial Min/Maxes on Ability Scores?

    I actually like the Shadowrun "species" selection. I say species because they are not crossable even by magic means so there are no half X variants. They have deferring species minimum, maximum, and default starting for "point by" instead of flat 8s. I like it because the system drives...

    D&D 5E (2014) Has anyone else watched too much Naruto and want the Unarmored Movement level 9 ability to last

    Step of the Wind - At 2nd level, You can spend 1 ki point to take the Disengage or Dash action as a bonus action on your turn, and your jump distance is doubled for the turn. Unarmored Movement Improvement - At 9th level, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wording of Hex Warrior

    Right the rules have not changed. It original post was describing duel wielding and my example is a short sword. I don't see the point of your conflict since its still more damage than polearm master total damage and its still a cheaper investment to use two-weapon fighting with one spell...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wording of Hex Warrior

    I was going to prove you wrong with a sage advice post... but proved you correct and me wrong instead. I was thinking that as a spell it would over right that damage with its stated damage using to hit as a melee but apply the effect of the spell on hit, so for example if you could summon a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wording of Hex Warrior

    It doesn't get the ability modifier to damage because the spell states exactly it does 2d8 damage not that it does 2d8 damage +ability modifier. ...But Yes, its 2d8 and more then damage on average than a 1d6+5 which is my point.

    D&D 5E (2014) Wording of Hex Warrior

    Hu? When you use your pact of the blade feature it becomes a magical version of the weapon you choose, so if you want to duel wield you can choose a shortsword and it will be considered light and finesse. the shadow blade is finesse and light, and thrown properties (range 20/60) per the spell...
