You pretty much said it in your statement OP but there really shouldnt be a balance. The sword and board player is balanced against the threat of incoming damage from monsters which scales differently from that of a player and the GW player is balanced against the HP of the enemies. they each...

This may be good at low levels but it doesnt really scale well. I suggest just having the player have the stat blocks of monsters they might want to use available before the game pre printed out I do this with my druid and its very fast. If I need a very specific animal i can look it up but...

The way I look at it is if the warlock caused the kill, then the patron rewards the effort. so if its A-B-C then I would give it - Warlock pushes target over the cliff - Warlock uses suggestion to convince target to jump off cliff both directly lead to the kill. I would award it. - Warlock uses...

It's only as powerful as the Dm allows it to be The Dm chooses what shows up. THen it is under no obligation to fight at the cheapest discount rate It can be prideful and demand more than what the PHB suggests or it can ask for something all together different based on its personality and the...

What do you base that from? I'm curious because the nature of the amulet seems to me that the controller would have better control over the guardian than most golems due to the direct mental link. To answer the OP. The SG is godlike at t1, very strong at t2, just about right at t3 and by t4...

yep, readying an action is an action, therefore a character can move. Use a bonus action if applicable (rogue with scimitar of speed is a popular one). and then as their action ready an action. If hasted they can use the haste action as well. There are some limitations that it is important that...

Whenever a player uses a significant resource I am happy to allow interesting interactions. It's not like they can do this all day, and they are doing these actions instead of other actions. I don't see any reason why such an interaction would be suspect. the effect they are achieving is cool...

The utility of a spell matters. Yesterday's game included an athletics challenge for the group to move objects. Our wizard used TK to contribute his share.

Purple! Because snakes don't have armpits.

Sorry if that has already been said but I believe many people look at the increased stats as the capstone of the barbarian and think that pretty good. What the true capstone of the barbarian is the infinite rages which when combined with the level 15 ability to maintain rages unless unconscious...

As a general rule I feel a rogue should take enough levels to get multi attack if you are going to multiclass at all. An extra attack is far better than 3 sneak dice. Something like 13 rogue, 5 fighter is a good build that will get you most of your class abilities, then you can either stay in...

What kind of rogue are you? It might help us to know.

One I thought of off the top of my head is as follows. Static Bolt: Make a ranged weapon attack as part of the spell. if the target does not end its turn at least 5 feet away from where it was hit by static bolt it takes an additional 1d6 lightning. Level 5 adds 1d6 to the initial hit and...

In my games, I run the cloak as it reads and I generally have no troubles even though it basically means that the user is nearly impossible to detect when stealthed. Stealth isnt that game breaking because it requires other assumptions cover and obscurement to function. I assume that a creature...

While this is certainly true, my comments were intended to apply to all level ranges where over the course of a campaign these values fluctuate. Individual class/level combinations are too numerous to list so I felt a broader statement worked in reference to the concept as a whole.

Buying an Elephant is one thing, finding a place where they can travel, stable them is another. When it made sense I let them bring them along but huge creatures present problems that the party very quickly decides aren't worth the extra muscle. Try bringing an elephant in a cave. When the...

MC characters are neither stronger or weaker than single class in this edition. The main difference you might see is the "sweet spots" move around depending on the build. While a single class character tends to gain strength in noticable bounds at levels 5/11/17, a multiclass character might...

If this is your home game there is no game mechanics reason not to allow it. The torch at your option can have some additional mechanic like fire damage either 1 point or 1d6 and it will not affect your game in any real way other than add fun as long as you as the DM are ok with that in your...

Not really sure how the majority of this thread became a GWM war but here is my 2cp. GWM has a greater benefit the less damage you deal per attack and the greater number of attacks one has. This is why Crossbow Master builds benefit from it the most at the expense of an additional feat but it si...

One of the gems of the Tempest cleric is access to sleet storm as a form of battlefield control often lacking in the cleric. This spell can often be more devastating a call lightning with channel divinity applied. The Temprst cleric is a gem, but like all the domains, they each peak in power at...
