barbarian does unarmed surprisingly well either battlerager or frenzy for the bonus action attack. do 1+str+rage damage until you get tavern brawler feat.

The Hexblade is good but not as strong as some people think. When you factor in action economy it is not that crazy as it seems. the main benefit is it removes the "MAD penalty" of weapon based warlocks. The level 6 ability doesnt scale at all, and the level 10 uses a reaction for a 50% chance...

Tell us more about what you like to do. Dont think of it in class terms but in actions. Do you like swinging a sword, do you like few big hits or many small ones. do you like shrugging off a beating or dodging entirely, or having your armor deflect the blows. Do you like sneaking or clanging...

This ultimately comes down to your judgment. I personally would not trigger the boom if they return to the same place they left. if they return to any other space, I would apply the damage.

I cast it on my bard, it effectively doubled my inspiration I can hand out and it recovers those on a short rest.

most reach increasing abilitites specify when attacking, so the reach would not increas when you are not actively attacking. reactions and such would be triggered off the normal reach of the weapon. PAM specifies a distance of 10 feet which allows an attack off turn even though the reach at that...

When targeting you draw a line from one point on your character to the target, as long as this line is unbroken you can attack the target. If part of the target cannot be drawn to then this results in cover. So, if ANY line can be drawn from part of the attacker they have line of sight. This...

One of the great things about the 5e design is that they recognized some people will prefer their old system so they made old editions available online as PDFs if you want to get those books instead. If you find a group that wants to play your way do so. For my enjoyment 5e is a great system and...

Yes, it acts as a normal weapon with the statistics above. I dont have the spell in front of me so goin by your text this is how it works.

A reach weapon only has a extended reach when attacking, when a character is in this situation they have a 5 foot reach and would take opportunity attacks normally based upon their standard 5 foot reach. There is a feat which adds a reach mechanic with a polearm over 5 feet but this only...

well you cant cast the spell until the attack is a hit for starters. the only questio is wheter you know if it will turn the hit into a miss. I give the player that knowledge because they are using a limited resource (spell slot) to stop an often unlimited resource. attack roll. the player is...

If AC was the only measurement of tankiness then yes, but I have not really seen many bladesingers standing in the front lines for too long. This cleric has a bit more staying power but will not likely infringe upon the pure melee classes when it comes to choosing a front line. I dont believe...

Option C: they are Ferunian mountain apes or whatever thing you want to create for your world. Option D: they are any ape you need them to be at the time, describe them as chimps one encounter and then the following week they are Gorillas, use the same stats, the players wqont know the...

Well, the hit needs to be better than two attacks from the fighter at the cost of an attack and the bonus action attack. Additionally if the rogue has a means of reaction attacks which many have learned to do by now, then that adds an even higher bar to justifying the use of CS. Still a good...

One option our group uses when pressed for time is to roll damage once for the round and then just make the proper number of attack rolls. Simply apply the damage per hit. next round we roll damage again so its not as static as using average damage and sometimes you have a good round and...

The only thing that will really make a huge difference is when you get your second attack. As others have said getting your second attack should be your priority. The barbarian abilities are excellent and while you might not get to a 3rd attack. the increased number of rages is an often...

Without reading the rest of this post, for those looking for a monk enhancement item there is the Talisman of the claw available in Hoard of the Dragon Queen. It is also avaialble as a DM reward in season 7 of Adventurers league. It adds +1 to hit and damag to unarmed attacks and natural weapons.

You are correct Ancalogon, its also important to note that these threads are only realy useful as a mental exercize. D&D is much like a team sport in which each player needs to be able to contribute to the whole. That is true of damage absorption/mitigation. If onle player get their AC to the...

What erks me is that I wanted to buy the PDF from the start and bought the books as a second choice, now that PDFs are available I do feel that I am double paying. I will still likely buy them but I am not endeared to the company that there is no discount however.
