That's when the enemy switches to their ranged option, if they have one. That or they ready actions to attack when the Booming Bastard gets back within range.

I'm not really a huge fan of builds that have 3 multiclass prerequisite stats, expecially with ASIs being class features instead of character features. The main reason for this is that they tend take a while for everything to come online. While the build I described in this thread is a 20-level...

I was simply making sure that Knight_Marshal was aware of how BB/GFB works with reach weapons. Even though the weapon may have 10' reach, the spells only have a range of 5'. Spell Sniper is what's needed for those who want to use those spells at the same range as their reach weapons. I agree...

I'm probably going to have to start doing this with regards to the set encounters. This seems like the perfect loophole for shoring up those XP gaps. Those were the ones that were really causing the issues. It's easy to handle the gaps when it comes to random encounters, as I can simply combine...

That's all well and good, but let's be honest here. How many of us are actually running tables of only 5 players? 5 players is a bad attendance night at my store, with our tables almost always running at capacity and having to turn away players. While I understand that the party of 5 is the...

The quests look simple enough for most DMs to accomplish a large percentage of them. Although there does seem to be a file missing. The Initiate quest references the Curse of Strahd DMs Packet being on DMsG, but I don't see it there as of this post. I would imagine that it's probably in the...

Forgot about the racial requirement, which would affect playing it in AL. However, for the sake of argument, let's say that it's been lifted. I would imagine that this may hold true for a few tables out there. The idea is to have the utility of the wizard spellbook for 1st level rituals without...

You're going to need Spell Sniper to use GFB with the glaive's full reach, otherwise you can only use it against those within 5' of you.

At least to Death House it's important. The rest of the book can be handled with the high frequency of Random Encounter checks while traveling.

The reach of a whip is 10', not 15'. Therefore, Spell Sniper allows BB/GFB to be used at the full reach of a whip. EDIT: The plan is to use BB + Tripping Attack (standing from prone should proc the extra damage as it requires half of your speed) and GFB + Sweeping Attack (smack the 2nd guy with...

My Half-Drow, Blade "The Drow Daywalker" treats his Goggles of Night the same way that the real Blade treats his sunglasses. He feels naked without them on at all times. :P

For non-AL play, it's pretty much up to the DM. The book lists a couple examples of where to use the milestone rule. For AL play, you have to use XP for everything but Death House. You have the option of using milestone for Death House ONLY, but in no other part of the book. Overall, I've...

Trying to figure out the best race choice for my Arcane Trickster/Bladesinger build. Plan is to use the Bladesinger levels to boost defensive potential while delivering Booming Blade Sneak Attacks. Level Progression will be Rogue 1/BS Wizard 2/AT Rogue 18. The two contenders are High Elf or...

You're right. Had a brain fart. 3 levels of multiclass potential it is. My personal recommendation for an Arcana gish is Fighter 1/Arcana Cleric 1/Rogue 2/Cleric 17. Low level strategy is: walk up, smack with Booming Blade with your rapier, disengage and walk away. If playing a VHuman, then...

If your goal is to get the bonus 6th-9th level domain spells, then you're going to have to take 18 levels as an Arcana Cleric. This leaves only 2 levels for multiclassing.

CoS has the highest frequency for Random Encounter checks out of all of the adventures released so far. There are plenty of opportunities for PCs to rack up kills when traveling out of the confines of the various villages.

Yes they have. There's even an index of every UA article released thus far that is stickied at the top of this forum. I too bothered to read the article, so your ad hominem attack fails. I even have a quote direct from the article that backs up my point. Sounds like precise language to me.

Having flipped through my copy of CoS, there are a few things that are either against the normal AL rules or require clarification as to their purpose within the AL campaign. Without listing the specific places where these things are located, as to prevent spoilers, here's the list of the...

1. PAM's OA would come into play when the creature enters the reach of the quarterstaff, meaning that it only comes in at 5'. It's been clarified on Twitter that the RAI of the OA is only to be done with the weapons listed in the feat. 2. This is perfectly viable. You can get the bonus attack...

Yes. DDAL4-1 will be released on 3/15. It was originally supposed to come out on 3/1, but was delayed to keep the focus on the Death House Launch Event. The rest of the the DDAL adventures will be released on the 1st of the month after their debuts at conventions.
