    D&D 5E (2014) Please Help me Keep up with my friends!

    That's what it looks like to me, if you have advantage you essentially re-roll the lower die result.

    D&D 5E (2014) [GUIDE] Battle On: The Fighter Guide

    I'm guessing no, since they recently ruled that it doesn't affect Paladin smite dice rolls, I believe the intent is it only affects the dice from the weapon itself.

    There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the Battlemaster Fighter, you'll be fine :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Adding +2 ability bonus to all classes. Way to make all class/race combos more or less equal.

    I'm not a big fan of that, I like the idea of certain races being naturally inclined towards some classes more than others as reflected by their racial stat adjustments.

    D&D 5E (2014) Adding +2 ability bonus to all classes. Way to make all class/race combos more or less equal.

    I'd be OK with something like this, under some conditions: * You can't give the bonus to a stat that was improved by a racial bonus * You can't use it to boost a stat above 17(max from point-buy plus racial bonus) * I'd also allow the player to do +1/-1 instead if it fits better for them

    D&D 5E (2014) [Xanathar's Guide] What is your first PC you're gonna make?

    I'm very much looking forward to the new Warlock stuffs, but I've played Warlocks a lot so I'll probably try some of the other stuff first. The new Rangers all look interesting, especially when using the Revised Ranger chassis. Both the Ancestral Guardian and Storm Herald Barbarians look like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Gaming with children without changing the game (much)

    The MPMB character sheet included a section with two lists showing what the character can do as an Action and as a Bonus Action(abilities only, not individual spells). Creating a cheat sheet like that for new players of any age can be handy. "You can move, you can do one thing from Column A, and...

    D&D 5E (2014) A hexblade pact of the tome?

    GFB and BB are on the Warlock spell list, yes. Taking them as a Tome Warlock can be nice, you won't be wasting a second attack that the Blade Pact Warlock might. If the OP is referring to the Eldritch Smite invocation, the UA version had a Blade Pact prerequisite, and I imagine the official...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Race Feats Appearing in D&D's 'Xanathar's Guide to Everything

    I'm not thrilled about this part of Xanathar's only covering the PHB races and not the EE or Volo's races, especially since it sounds like they DID design them, but they're only going to be available to DnDBeyond preorderers and won't be official.

    D&D 5E (2014) Xanathar's and Counterspell

    I like this as the way to go, I would also make allowances for people trying to recognize a spell that they are already familiar with, be it one on their own list, one that a party member casts frequently, etc.

    D&D 5E (2014) Xanathar's Guide to Everything gets the Shadow Sorcerer

    I'm hoping we get the Stone Sorcerer too, though if I had to pick one other Sorcerer type likely to get in, it's Favored Soul. They've taken a couple of passes at it, and it seems like one that lots of people want.

    Xanathar's Guide to Everything's Samurai Subclass

    Hopefully it means the Knight's Implacable Mark and Hold The Line abilities will be included in some form.

    Xanathar's Guide to Everything's Samurai Subclass

    All the indications are that it will likely be in, which will make me happy. But I'm waiting until an official confirmation before celebrating :)

    Xanathar's Guide to Everything's Samurai Subclass

    I would say that tweet certainly upped the odds. But I've learned with things like this that until they officially say "yes, it's in", then it's still assumption not fact :)

    Xanathar's Guide to Everything's Samurai Subclass

    True, I would say that the subclasses they did additional passes on have a higher probability of getting in. But "widely suspected" isn't the same as "confirmed". Plus, Jeremy's video about the Cavalier suggests the final take will look quite a bit different from both UA revisions, so it's...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Help]LVL 20 One-Shot Fun Builds

    Personally, I'd want to try out either a Lvl20 Fighter or Lvl20 Barbarian, for the sheer amount of pain you can inflict :) Level 20 fighters get your four attacks, multiple action surges, and save re-rolls, plus whatever subclass abilities you go with. Barbarians get those sweet sweet Str and...
