Eldritch Knight 9, Lore Bard 6 You can learn Swift Quiver with magical secrets. That's 5 attacks a round at Fighter 11 Bard 6. And unlimited ammunition. And you have reactions to use Cutting Words. The Last 3 levels can be nearly anything, like 3 levels of Rogue or Ranger.

If your entire party has darkvision and goes without a torch or light cantrip so they can treat darkness as dim light for sneakier stealth checks, they get the penalties for perception checks as if in dim light. That means they are more likely to stumble into traps or miss an ambush. Characters...

Any warlock multiclass combinations can break the game. Don't ban crossbow expert builds, just never ever give them a magic hand crossbow and you should be fine. And always remember, just rolling high on stealth doesn't mean the character is hidden. You decide if hiding is even possible in a...

I like Ranger/Cleric better: Better spell progression, extra spells not normally on your list like Hunter's Mark and Goodberry. You can start as a Ranger and still have access to Heavy army proficiency. Nature Domain for Shillelagh and an extra skill, or Life domain for 40 hp from each cast of...

I'd like to see a Fighter archetype that focuses on two-weapon fighting, but still has some of the flexibility of maneuvers. Level 3: The bonus action attack from two-weapon fighting increased to 2[W]: So once a turn, your bonus action attack with a scimitar would be 2d6, or 2d8 with a...

Some do need work, I'd like for them to release a mini player's guide like the Elemental Evil Player's companion. For the UA Ranger, replace level 1 advantage on initiative with + proficiency or half, and Beast Master could use a little bit of Physical damage absorption similar to the Heavy...

I was recently in a monster party and having our backgrounds and factions preselected did not hinder our enjoyment. I also can appreciate the + 1 restriction as someone who used to build characters in 3rd and 4th using several dozen sourcebooks. I do wish they would approve some of the...

Use the Feral Tiefling variant from the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide. (Don't use the winged option if you think it will cause an issue.) Instead of the PHB version, their attribute bonus is +2 Dex +1 Int. Before the bonus attributes, something like this; 8 str 15 dex 15 con 11 int 10 wis 12...

Seems to be in line with everything else I see on Dandwiki. The template you present would work fine for NPCs. A whole city of Soul Golems would be a fun delve. As for what version of Warforged to use as a basis for player races in 5e? The ones from the Ebberron Unearthed Arcana are a fine...

Monk suits the Lizard folk pretty well. You could multiclass into Rogue. If I was going Ranger, I would pick up shillelagh from a multiclass, ignoring the natural weapons entirely. A Lizard Folk Ranger/Nature Domain Cleric has proficiency in 8 skills!

I have seen a chicken with teeth. Genetic atavism is proof that many animals still have the DNA for features they evolved out of, so potentially a bear could have scaly skin since they evolved from scaled creatures. :heh: Lizardfolk characters will mostly benefit from some multiclass builds. I...

"You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can’t use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense." How restrictive is wild shape...

Way of the Long Death Monk can absorb a lot of damage. A few levels of Barbarian can get you a lot of tankiness. Barbarian/Ranger would be pretty intense.

Rogues can deal sneak attack damage without being hidden, so they still function without hiding every turn. The DM is the final arbiter on whether you are hidden or not. "You can't see me, Orcs! My check is too high for your perception!" "There's only one bush you could be hiding behind, elf."

Our PHB is falling apart at this point, so I don't mind if they do a slightly different edition. They already have a faq that you need to print out anyway.

Dragonborn: +1 hp per level Breath Weapon used during an attack action in place of one attack The Abeir Dragonborn of 4th edition were more resilient and could use Dragonbreath as a minor action. Things were toned down a little much, compared to Dwarves, Elves, Humans, Half-elves and...

Until there is some faq/errata saying these don't work... Lizardfolk Druids: All your wild shape forms gain a +3 bonus to AC or improve their "natural armor" to +3. Lizardfolk Monks: You can leave wisdom at 12 or 14 and pump everything into Dex and Con. Better unarmed damage early on, and the...

4th Edition DnD had Dex based attack and damage for some melee classes.

If you're running the game, you decide how things go. You could make a feat that brings strength weapons in line with other styles. Warrior's Resolve - Increase your Strength or Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20 Increase all saving throws by 1. When making an...

If you don't like your character, ask the DM to let you make a new one, if that is not an option, just get him killed. I was playing a Fighter with 1 level of Bard in adventurer's league, and it was starting to be a bit of a drag, I hadn't hit 5th level yet and was free to rebuild it. I traded...
