Does anyone have any DPR stats handy? I was under the assumption that even on a typical extended adventuring day the Champion did less damage than a battlemaster or eldritch knight. At least through level 10. Do they overtake the other specializations past level 10? I ask because if they do not...

People who play in game groups with sticky fingered rogues?

What if Champions level 3 ability increased their crit range to 19-20, and made their criticals hit for 3x the number of dice, instead of 2x? Since flat damage increases represent a significant portion of the damage spread in 5e, this would not necessarily be game breaking, but on average it...

The current mechanical servant suffers from many issues which render it problematic at all levels of play. Currently, at the level at which you gain it, it completely obsoletes a Beast Master's animal companion in the damage department. While it lacks utility, it oversteps its role in a big way...

So as many have noticed, the Wondrous Invention class feature is a bit all over the place. Most of the high level things are completely ridiculous, like a Ring of Jumping requiring level 20. The low levels are mostly okay, but there are some things still out of place, like items which cast 3rd...

This is for the beastmaster ranger from revised ranger, which does NOT gain the extra attack feature. As a result, I calculated the damage as the best single shot range weapon, which is a heavy crossbow. I also erred on the side of the ranger, by allowing them to use hunters mark and assuming...

Edit: I am trying to format this as best I can. Will be editing and trying to get it right. Problem: The current mechanical servant suffers from many problems which render it problematic at all levels of play. Currently, at the level at which you gain it, it completely obsoletes a Beast...

Given that Sneak Attack damage falls behind pure martial or ranged damage in a big way past level 9(don't have dpr handy. look it up), and this class is balanced around sneak attack scaling minus weapon damage, it seems to a degree that the Construct is part of the base class to keep it viable...

Think of it like the inverse of a monk. In low magic settings they become stronger, while in high magic they become weaker. This is sort of like that. Edit: I wonder how infusions work with concentration.

Because it has the thrown property, which would make it do strength for attack rolls and damage unless Finesse was specified. That combination means it gets your choice of strength or dex on attack roll, but no damage from either. It's actually remarkably similar to darts, yes and based off...

Made some tweaks to simplify glancing. I think it's a bit better now.

Here's a little something thrown together for a Monk or something. Probably would be added to the class list for Monks, Rogues, and Bards. Shuriken. Martial Ranged Weapon Weight: 1/4 pound Cost: 2sp Range: 20/60 Damage: 1 Damage Type: Slashing Properties:Light, Finesse, Thrown, Glancing*...

Uh. Not to be that guy, the original premise is flawed. Whiteout conditions have nothing to do with illumination. You can be in Whiteout conditions at night, with only a dim flashlight. They're basically just a case of total obscurement comparable to the fog cloud spell. So dark vision or...

Honestly, I'm not sure there's any way to reach a real solution here. I've noticed that both in tabletop games, and even in video games, a lot of people tend to hate stealth mechanics. In Team Fortress 2, the spy was rarely used in competitive, and against a competent team had nowhere near...

I kind of feel like the Snipers Field Manual(I think that's what its called) published by the US military, and the accounts and field reports of actual snipers in Vietnam and Iraq should be required reading by every DM. It's pretty jarring when taking 3 grenades to the face and walking it off...

He's really not underselling it at all. Being sneaky is easy given that you use your environment correctly. Back when I was working various jobs in college, I'd often see how long I could hang around someone(who knew me) before they noticed me. Maybe there were coworkers hanging outside a...

Lol yep. DMs not a dick...just frustrating sometimes. We're working out a good system though. ^_^

So we're rolling up house rules for intelligence based thieves tools uses to get through magical wards up to a certain level, and using arcana for a weak detect magic to allow at least the knowledge of the presence of something, if not the school or spell. Should be in good shape at this rate.

While I am very frustrated with the situation, my GM is not a douche. Just a bit arrogant and hard to persuade. Our group is a bit odd in that we generally have always gone off the books with mechanics so to speak, but I don't think this is so much malice as misunderstanding. In a lot of other...
