Another way to put this might be, "Which capstone abilities are so desirable that they deter you from dipping into another class?" But sometimes you don't even look that far ahead. Sometimes it's just "What do I want next?" I realize that this is very subjective, and dependent on HOW you play...

For the record, your solution was pretty cool. I'd leave the player (character) with a scar if they fail. A flavorful one, not necessarily a game mechanical scar. Makes for great storytelling.

Man, that's messed up. PartyNOW takes the good sword to go and get the ingredients to make the bad sword good... but they don't take the bad sword? So when they come back, they are PartyFUTURE. They bring back the good sword, of course, but they left the bad sword there. If they come back and...

Wow. Think about it. If the intelligence is strong enough, and clever enough, it might be able to subvert the programming, leading to later complications with the Brotherhood (I'm not familiar with the organization at all). Or it could mask itself with a surface personality that pretends to be...

The song that popped into my head IMMEDIATELY was this one: https://youtu.be/GisCRxREDkY

Something very similar in my campaign -- one of the characters gave up a world-changing ability (boon) to an evil NPC because either the player or the character didn't understand it's potential, didn't want to deal with it, or didn't care. As far as the original topic, I don't think I would...

The universe demands it: https://youtu.be/B4JCehDOy54?t=30s

Rare. No question in my mind. 100% of the time, it foils resistance and immunity to non-magical weapons. 50% of the time, it gives you a +2. Attunement is not required, so it doesn't consume an attunement spot. And, as others have pointed out, you generally get to dictate when you engage...

Nice writeup. Very fun. I'll gloss over the part where I read your subject line as "Bear Hug." :rolleyes:

Thanks all. In between epiphanies, I do occasionally confuse myself into oblivion.

This is a little painful. Bear with me. I'm tinkering with a battlemaster build, and I get to wondering. QUESTION 1: If you apply a superiority die that manipulates your attack roll (only Precision attack, from what I can tell), and you have advantage or disadvantage, do you have to spend...

OP here. No problem. It became apparent almost immediately that I had mistakenly equated all situations of "unable to see due to environmental conditions." I have one character in my party whose perception is through the roof and has darkvision. Trying to figure out how to thwart it without...

You've probably figured out where this is headed. Would you rule that darkvision works in a whiteout, which is an overload of light rather than too little light?

I'm sure Captain Ahab would have given an arm and a leg for it.

Yes. Sorry. Hemlock had suggested something called Booming Blade, which didn't look familiar to me. I think it's from Sword Coast? That's why I made that comment about PHB only.

Thanks! I hadn't considered multiclassing. We're only using PHB material right now. I'd have to convince the GM that he wants to go slightly off the rails to get anything from other books (even the DMG). And yeah, i know these stats "feel" like limbo. Overall, they're above average, but...

I rolled 10,13,13,13,13,15 for abilities. For a variant human, I get two abilities over the hump, plus a skill and a feat. Maybe the feat bumps a third ability into the next break. For standard human, I get FIVE abilities over the hump. This seems like a better choice with this set of...
