    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Paladin Oath of Vengeance

    If action economy becomes an issue, the feat will help out, but increasing your strength is just better all around. But it means if you find magic wepaons that aren't light, you'll be :):):):) out of luck. You could have freed up a feat option and have higher AC if you started as 1 level of...

    I read that sorcerer and warlock multiclass really well together.

    Main draw for some is the cheesey way of converting all of your Warlock slots into Sorcery points, and then converting those points into Sorcerer spell slots, and then taking a short rest, gaining back all Warlock Slots. And repeating that 3 more times while the rest of your party sleeps...

    Life Cleric Build Decision

    Don't be so fast to dump intelligence, you might be the only one in the party to take Religion. Charisma might not do much for you. From experience, being able to wear plate armor without slowing down is pretty important. And Shillelagh is pretty good on a Cleric, but the Nature Domain gets it...

    Champion advice

    Polearm Master Gives opportunity attacks when enemies enter your reach. You can use combat maneuvers on opportunity attacks to trip or push an enemy. Why wouldn't you want to do this?

    Newish Player Paladin Build Advice needed

    I would say, do not feel pressured to take Standard human, since Paladins rely on 3 stats: Strength, Charisma, Constitution. Getting good Constitution saving throws is important, so important that Resilient Constitution is widely considered the most important feat you can take. If you take...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Int 8 Party: A Solution?

    The skill monkey used your house rule to gain even more skills and the Paladin, A class that already needs 3 high attributes and has a feat tax in the form of Resilient Constitution was further penalized? You're going to need to get rid of the 27 point buy if you want players to move away from...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Int 8 Party: A Solution?

    They should have kept Warlock as Intelligence based. Point buy at 31 would have helped as well. Players are forced to minmax because there is no advantage in having extraneous points in intelligence. Even Eldritch Knights dump intelligence and take spells that do not require an ability modifier...

    Starfinder STARFINDER Miniature Starships Peek

    I do not want a bone fleet or Warhammer 40k style gothic-cathedral ships. Just give me some ships better suited to a space opera. Like the ones they already showed in the concept art! What happened to those?

    D&D 5E (2014) My dwarf fighter is always last into combat?

    Misty step is a 2nd level spell. At the minimum, that is 3 levels to be able to use it 3 times a day: Wizards can use Arcane Recovery to get back a 2nd level slot, and Sorcerers can convert 3 points into a 2nd level slot. 3 levels in Rogue would let him dash every turn, all day. Both are...

    D&D 5E (2014) My dwarf fighter is always last into combat?

    Fighter/Barbarian Multiclass is very strong. Barbarians get +10' of movement at level 5. How deep into Fighter are you? I'm playing in 2 games right now. One as an Elf Fighter with 35' of movement, the other as a Half-Elf Paladin with 35' of movement. It seems I always have just enough to get...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Warlord Demand Poll

    Valor Bard + Battlemaster Fighter already does everything a 4E Warlord did, and more. I think the best you could get without multiclassing would be to start with Bard Level 1 - Replace Bardic Inspiration with Combat Superiority gain proficiency in medium armor, martial weapons...

    D&D 5E (2014) Giving Ranger Expertise

    Colossus Slayer and Uncanny Dodge should be removed from the options available to the Hunter Archetype. Instead, they should be given to both Hunter and Beast Master at levels 3 and 7. This way the Hunter can have Horde Breaker and Colossus Slayer. The Beast Master's pet should be able to use...

    D&D 5E (2014) [GUIDE] Power Overwhelming: A Sorcerer Guide

    Lightning Lure is pretty awful damage, you'd be better off twinning Firebolt, but it can be decent to Quicken it to cast as a bonus action and drag enemies into range of some Twinned melee cantrips that pour on the damage like Greenflame Blade. If your DM is the sort that likes to use optional...

    D&D 5E (2014) [GUIDE] Power Overwhelming: A Sorcerer Guide

    Twincast Greenflame Blade is pretty intense. Though your table will have to ignore JC's insane brainfart where he thought the splash damage meant it had more than 1 target. Getting within 5 feet of two enemies that are also adjacent to each other might be rare without a Swiftcast Lightning...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best PHB Ranger Guide Ever

    Lizard Folk can use a special Bite Attack as a bonus action, and it is implied that they are eating what they bite to gain vitality. Also I was being facetious. Eating a goodberry, and the Use Magic Item action for potions and some Item properties like the Dagger of Venom are Bonus actions...

    D&D 5E (2014) Give me some advices on creating a 5e PC

    Ehh, without the new Melee cantrips from SWAG, I would shy away from Eldritch Knight. You'll find yourself just using up your spell slots each day to shield. You'll have a lot more fun with Battlemaster and combat maneuvers. If you want some magic power, Multiclass Warlock, or Bard. Bards...

    D&D 5E (2014) Feats, class balance and fun

    Those feats need to be scaled back to -proficiency for +5 damage. The Ignoring cover part of Sharpshooter trivializes a lot of what DMs try to do to make some encounters more challenging. Especially when it is combined with +2 attack from the fighting style. The cover ignore ability should be...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5th Level Teifling Sorcerer

    Twincast Greenflame Blade is tons of damage when you have 2 enemies next to each other. Fastcast Lightning Lure and Thunderwave can put enemies next to each other.

    Hill Dwarf Storm Sorc/Tempest Cleric build help needed.

    It would be an extremely great idea to talk to your DM and work out some new Thunder and Lightning cantrips using the Spell Creation rules in the DMG. Here's one I've been working on for our CoS campaign: Lightning Flash Casting Time 1 Action Range 25 feet Components V, S Duration...
