Alert 23 Athlete 20 Actor 21 Charger 20 Crossbow Expert 22 -To date, my absolute favorite character concept was centered around using (and abusing) crossbows (funny enough, I used a more restrictive interpretation of the feat than practically anyone). Defensive Duelist 17 Dual Wielder 20 Dungeon...

If I recall correctly the bounded accuracy system is meant to be able to keep virtually all the mobs in the MM relevant if you toss a large enough group at adventurers, a standard party of 5 can take on an army of Orcs but they won't trounce the Orcs without breaking a sweat like they used to...

MY current DM, is running a slightly home-brewed Forgotten Realms campaign, its more RP heavy but he allowed us to roll our stats, but to keep our 1 to 2 combats per long rest relevant he throws pretty much everything at us within that day, most encounters involve at least one of us almost...

11 12 -> 14 13 ->14 12 5 11 Hmm... Seems like a decent Arcane trickster start, Id probably go Stout halfling just to round my array out more, too bad he tends to forget to hide when stealing things.

You could have them go through a ledger or other written notes that could pertain to the prisoners, they could either slice through the captors, bargain/scheme for the information, search for the list and look through it before they get caught -or steal it, I assume they might forget what it...

Actually thinking back on the topic, I rescind my previous post and believe that class really doesn't hold true. Out of game its just a generalization that gamers use to describe their skillset, but even when I say that my PC is a wizard or fighter its usually just how I would describe the...

If that's the case I can almost grantee that the character will die, the Underdark is rather relentless, being dragged across the ground for 8-10 in sessions is bound to kill the PC

I think this could strictly be up to the DM's digression. Personally I could see how contacting other planes (pretty much any time you talk to a fiend) would make thematic sense in the contacted being lying, either from mistrust or a grudge.

Wait, doesn't having no intelligence mean your in a permanent coma? Or is that something an old DM of mine house-ruled in?

Evil is a matter of perspective, just because something is morally wrong in your country/mind doesn't mean everyone that does what you think is immoral is evil. I.E. In America sexual relations between adults and minors are wrong, however, in a tribe in Africa adult men and male children have...

The thing is that the Immortals are supposed to be omnipotent beings, why is it so hard to think that they can't influence the other planes. The only Immortals/Gods that wouldn't want to influence are those that would solely want to exist in the material plane, like the gods/immortals that...

And another thing, since when do Dragons and Bugbears make you think about modern law? We are talking about Arthurian times where they murdered people..literally...every..damn..day. Purely because of superstition, and not in a quick/painless way they murdered people by tying them to horses as...

I really don't fully understand the OP, the way I see it is he is punishing the player for not succeeding on a roll, not going through with a roll that was botched, just punishing the player. If I was a player knowing that my character is effectively unplayable for 8 to 10 sessions I'd much...

Yeah there should be no way your getting +14 to attacks, unless your DM is handing out Rare grade magic items at lvls 1-2 with max rolled STR. The problem with Fighters is they aren't as versatile as wizards yes they don't do as much round to round dmg as a fighter can, but fighters cant put 5...

I sincerely applaud that wizard for staying alive as long as he has. Then again they do sit back the most, but that's if circumstance doesn't murder him off. I agree with everyone other than the OP, 5e Wizards feel like they are sitting in a decent enough place, just because your pretty much...

He is not saying you're wrong, he is saying such a blanket statement of "optional rules, especially multiple, break the game" is not adding to the post. Just because you enjoy a featless non-multiclassing campaign doesn't mean everyone who decides to have these rules is playing wrong, which...

This is a lovely point, having a game with these rules can be just as difficult or easy as a campaign with none of these rules, it all just comes down to who is at the table. The games' difficulty comes down to the players, and depending on the style, the DM to a greater extent. Do the...

I guess I didn't realize that he had specified mundane, my bad. I guess my aptitude for selective reading took over so early in the morning.

I guess I'd like it to be more structured so I don't need to improvise with every magic item that comes up in crafting. Not to nit-pick but most of magic items are smaller than a horse. The main thing is making the process streamlined, because the current system almost discourages crafting...
