Proficiency bonus is the same for all level 20s, my intent was +8 over that flat rate but I did not word it to clearly explain that. But yes +14 total. For some reason I always think Resilient is like Elemental Adept, but you are correct. So Dex is likely the best choice. Magic itoms and and...

I was not aware of the Chronurgist as it is a newer option. Convergent Future + feeblemind is basically an I win button vs non-melee classes unless the target has counterspell…. well. Ok then I see why wizards are winning. I am a little surprised Wizards allowed an ability that completely...

Someone didn't read the whole post. lol.

I think there is an argument for Battlesmith Artificer who can achieve a static AC26 with class features and has buffs for higher including but not limited to +5 form shield and +2 for haste allowing for an AC easily higher than 30 where you half to get a natural twenty to hit them. Then the...

As CapnZapp robe of the archmagi is +2 spell DC not the staff of power. This also clarifies the rod of the pact keeper since it has the "While holding this rod" ridder and depending on if a spell has a gold cost material component and how your GM runs the game , you may not be able to cast some...

Yep, I have never had a GM who was willing to get used to it. So about level 9 - 10 the quite the campaign and reset. I want to play high level characters and the other players I have been at the table with want to play high level characters. It is 100% the GMs who prevent high level play in my...

You are correct. I intended "can" , the "not" is a typo. I have corrected the post.

PHB errata fixed several feats but most notably: Sentinel can be used at reach Polearm master can be used with spears I think most GMs were doing these anyway but its nice to have it in writing.

It your doing a Bladesinging wizard school of X it works. Lets also remember that Elric and the majority of sources like this the wizards/sorcerers were also skilled martial fighters. Even Gandalf in Lord of the Rings used magic sparingly but then wielded a sword in combat most of the time...

Your ignoring the intent of the thread. My point is setting is this, player plays lawful paladin this way, then there is no issue. This is a method of preventing issues in the group as per the subject of the thread. Sure you could play the paladin with there on their own code, but how does...

If Necromancy is legal in the setting then a lawful paladin can be grumpy but otherwise support the group. If Necromancy is not legal, then their should be a back story reason for the paladin to support the necromancer based on the paladins oath.

I agree and this sounds good, however, I have never seen the argument "your class is not your character/your class is your character" debate brought to the table for the other players to weigh in. The argument is always stopped at the "does not fit into the game setting" aka the setting as the...

I guess you might not read this this but it bears posting to the topic. All setting guides have specific fluff for race and class with setting. SCAG for example lists all the races and classes from the PHB and defines their place in the setting. The Ranger does not have a new subclass in SCAG it...

True they don't expand your class but they do expand your character, which supports "you class is not your character" since if "your class is your character" you should get nothing from your background. You do get skills, tool proficiencies, and a special feature that informs your character...

Well to be clear some of my friends are jerks. We full well know they don't do this to having an interesting back story but to cause trouble. Which perhaps makes it strange that creating a rule actually works. At the same time people constantly ask why I don't pick non-jerk friends to witch I...

An interesting thread …. "your class is not your character" vs "your class is your character" both being a problem and inconsistent not only between players/GMs but also with one player/gm and different classes. Problem defined as agreement trying to resolve "The rules of the game create a...

We are entirely in agreement here. Your arguments was that "The rules of the game create a shared expectation" and you asserted that "They're all rules. Saying some are mutable while others aren't because they're math is wrong." seemed/seems like your saying that some of your personal...

So re-read my post, I didn't ascrib any characteristic to you, PsyzhranV2 did and was saying that his response was not out of place as he could reasonably think that based of your supper out of place example (which I will explain below). But while I can agree with him that it looks that way, I...

So @PsyzhranV2 was saying sure magic wielding fighter with no armor and magic sword that can stop and redirect ranged projectile at the person shooting at the is a Monk Kensai. In fact, the Psychic Warrior Fighter Class UA by Wizards of the coast was made with Jeremy Crawford saying "More Darth...

I know that has been said time and time again, however in my experience that is rarely true. Outside of my personal experience, I have not seen it to be the normal standard any of the multitude of streamed games or people I have asked playing under other GMs. More to the point that no way...
