Eh the situation is tricky. To my knowledge I'm the only player dissatisfied(shocker). We have another rogue but she's mostly cool with stuff. Course it could be because she hasn't been playing the class as long, and only recently switched to it in 5e. Could also be I'm being annoying petty...

Eh I don't think it's intentional, though realizing the degree is frustrating. Gonna shoot for diplomacy with a dash of excessively stupid min maxing as the way to go.

*sigh* The more I try to find a solution to this the more I hate how 5e handles stealth. It's pretty abysmal, and about the only blemish on an otherwise excellent system.

Ugh. You know, I'd kinda felt the same way for a while but didn't want to go raising a stink and rules lawyering, but I guess I'll have to bring it up sooner or later. I already had the GM try to shut down using higher level spell slots to the boost the Life Cleric passive on healing spells. I...

Well I guess I absolutely have to take Skulker then, and ask my GM about differences between in combat stealth and out of combat. On that note, any idea how to deal with Alarm spells in place on doors and windows everywhere? Even for an arcane trickster Raw it's not til level 13 you get an...

So in the first example there would still be no stealth even with dim lighting? What about if I take Skulker feat? Also, our GM has gotten pissed because we kicked down the door and killed like 30 people before... Uh. Any suggestions for optimal stealth given these conditions?

So I've about finished with making an infiltrator style character for a campaign, but I wanted to make sure my understanding of stealth is clear after my last sneaky character was largely useless. Stealth requires you have concealment from the target, correct? When outside of combat, how...

Right, but Familiar attacks are "Whenever you take an attack action" and allow you to "Forego 1 attack." The point is more that when I flurry, I get an extra attack on the bonus action, but I lose an attack on the base action. Normal Attack: 2 on Regular, 1 on Bonus. "Imp Flurry" : 1 on...

Lol I have such a hardon for shadow monk now, actually. It wouldn't really solve some of the problems I had, but it's so fun looking to play I'm not sure I'd care. Just go 6 monk 3 lock and you get an Imp, detect magic and devil's sight invocations, and run around creating darkness constantly...

I think perhaps its a bit of that, but I also know the DM has kind of said when I walked face first into stuff "Well you should've just had Detect Magic" lol. It's kind of a tricky situation cause if I can rules lawyer and cite a bunch of crap on how stealth actually works, then yeah, I'll be...

Wait with finding magical traps with arcana does that apply to stuff like alarm spells on doors or what? My old trickster had a fantastic arcana score but I never got to apply it for that... Was told I needed detect magic or bust.

Varies from mission to mission. Sometimes it's murderhobo-able, and other times it requires what passes for a subtle approach. At this point, I'm thinking a hybrid of Warlock and Shadow Monk is the way to go, since it has a ton of stealth utility and decent combat ability. Toss in a familiar...

Actually, she prefers that we not go murder-hobo about it. The one time our barbarian charged ahead and started a fight and we had to fight together, we wound up killing a couple dozen people, along with some innocent guards and bystanders. We're encouraged to use subterfuge if we can, but we're...

Hey, just looking for some advice on the best class for infiltration work around level 9 in an urban environment. I played as an Arcane Trickster but had to retire him for purely roleplay reasons. But, I was kind of dissatisfied with my ability to deal with magical defenses on areas, especially...

So I've been working on a binder conversion to 5e, but I've rebuilt it from the ground up and done a bunch of balance testing to get it right. Vestiges are done up to level 10, as are specialization features. So without further ado... Soulbinder: Hit dice: 1d8 hit die. Proficiencies: Armor...

The way I see it, there are two factors at play here. First, you're creating a means to bypass the existing resource economy on healing (which you bypassed by having it be a reaction). Secondly, you're attempting to make it as a way to prevent someone going down, or be used as a bonus spell...

Hey everyone. I'm looking for feedback on a conversion I did to bring Binders into 5e from 3.5. It's not done yet, but since I'm about halfway along, with vestiges up to level 10 and the core mechanics there, I figured I'd post here for feedback. If you see any glaring balance issues, I'd...

Yeah I was following the other post I made elsewhere and looking over my options, and I actually switched to a Hill Dwarf. I took a hit to Cha down to 19, so I shaved it off and put it into Con, with bonuses going to Wisdom. This means a -1 to all my spell saves for my sorc spells, but I'm a...

So due to a handful of campaign issues, mostly story related, like half the party is swapping out in a session or two for new characters. I'm making a 9th level Sorcerer. But the long short of it is that he is a devoted worshipper of chaos(His mother was a chaos beast), so I'm changing him...
