    A sleep spell for allies

    It would because you would regain all your spell slots by using the spell. While the lost of a known spell is a big hit the ability to recharge all your limited spell slots in 10 minutes, and to recharge Hit points for yourself and 2 other party members can be useful during combat where your...

    A sleep spell for allies

    Yes and its a level 1 spell making it the most accessible but it starts at lowest HP which means I can't pick the target if we are all grouped in a small area (if we have more space I could adjust my target range to try and pick targets of course) and as a caster that would typically be me...

    A sleep spell for allies

    That is the answer. Like I said I could only vaguely remember which is why I wanted to look it up. It is still useful for a warlock for a once a day spell 10 min slot reset, but of course its a bard, wizard, sorcerer spell because giving it to the class which it is best for would just be silly...

    A sleep spell for allies

    I feel like I am losing my mind. Its quite possible. I am trying to find a spell that I saw in a video once and added to a pacifist caster I was making. It was ether a wizard or a divine soul sorcerer, So wizard, cleric, or sorcerer spells. The spell was a limited use spell that you could cast...

    Your ignoring my argument and making it something I never said. I never said, the players should get what ever they want or that the impacted NPC/Player should have to obey the players whim. I said their should be a role and it should have an impact on the effect. Your agreement is take the far...

    The two are not mutually exclusive. Taking player agency is a dick move. But giving a player the impression that their stats matter but then ensuring they don't means that their decisions are being over ridden and are being made by the GM. The GM is controlling the actions of the player...

    <y point was not "give players what they want when they succeed".That is not what I said. The player gets the roll 100% but the player making the check never determines the out come. The target does. So a request for the Kings land my never equal a King giving lands away however, a failure might...

    I disagree. It is a players choice to be proficient in skills, to be stronger in aspects of their character's design. If you eliminate the effect of those choices you are in fact infringing on the players agency of their character by removing changing character personality at your whim. Player...

    An interesting thing here on player agency. If you take the power of a characters stats choices or you make a player do what the other player wants … your stealing player agency either way. - As a Face who was proficient with persuasion I have had my GM make my character auto-fail all social...

    How to roll every type of die in an attack?

    Rapier does it but the d12 for toll the dead is a second attack and Extra attack is not a d10 unless you drop the rapier and draw along sword. Not supper functional.

    D&D 5E (2014) Beast Master Ranger List of Animal Companions

    Well the new official Errata trumps Jeremy Crawford... so what he said in the past is obsolete due to what he approved as official. Bestial Fury (p. 93). This section has been changed to “Starting at 11th level, when you command your beast companion to take the Attack action, the beast can make...

    Advantage on Damage Rolls

    For those who doubt that Bludgeoning weapons are more effective than swords and cutting weapons, Skallagrim pretty clearly demonstrated this in a video. The forward waited "strength weapons" were only ones with any real effect and is interesting that using the blunt side of a war axe as a mace...

    Is Ranged really better than Melee?

    Your not wrong, so I am bowing out and returning to the topic. I had more to say but your point is fair and it was really becoming a different conversation and I was going to recommend that WaterRabbit start another thread and we could pick up there but then I realized it is moved too far from...

    Is Ranged really better than Melee?

    Very good post but I think you nailed my point in your favor with the first sentence. I get using 100% hit is not accurate but adding accuracy becomes so situationally variable that that often it devolves topics into arbitrary argument that only matter to rare occasions at specific tables, which...

    Is Ranged really better than Melee?

    So with the topic of "Is Ranged really better than Melee?" - You agree that a solo ranged character is better than a solo melee character do to melee limitations - You agree that a Ranged only group is better than an Melee only group do to tactical advantages for ambush, spreading forces to...

    Is Ranged really better than Melee?

    So I think this and a few other posts are shifting from "is ranged better" to "ok, so maybe range is better but should it be and if not how should we fix it?" I like the triangle Fast, Far, and accurate but I would also point out that if we are going to correct ranged vs melee their is a...
