    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock, Pact of the Boon Specific Wording Question

    Interesting conversations here. But it does use the creature's stats, skills and abilities. Without the Chain pact a PC should learn a find familiar spell or convince a creature to be his familiar. Relatively the Chain pact does grant you access to these types as familiars, that is its main...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fireball vs Flame Strike

    That's also correct. Fiend Warlock and Light Clerics have access to both Fireball and Flame Strike spells.

    D&D 5E (2014) Fireball vs Flame Strike

    Right, the classes that has access to them, got it. Although I'm looking at this from a Warlock Fiend patron that has access to both spelss. I'm pretty sure I'll be using Fireball 99% of the time over Flame Strike then.

    D&D 5E (2014) Fireball vs Flame Strike

    So I was looking at Fireball and Flame strike having the following: FIREBALL - 3rd level Invocation - 1 action - Range: 150ft - Damage: 8d6 fire damage - AOE: 20ft radius sphere - extra effect: ignites flammable objects FLAME STRIKE - 5th level Invocation - 1 action - Range: 60ft -...

    Fifth Edition Foes Monster Book

    I started playing DnD at 3.5. I have to ask... What does "1st edition feel" mean? What should I look for or when should I say "Oh wow, this feels like the 1st edition!"? Direct answers please, not answers comparing editions. Please I don't want to start an Edition war here. I'm happy in all...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock, Pact of the Boon Specific Wording Question

    Not to argue on this, but pact of chain grants the warlock ability to immediately have access to these special familiars and as simply stated in MM these familiars grants Magic Resistance (within 10ft). Ever wondered why such creatures in MM that have these familiar option are all in the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock, Pact of the Boon Specific Wording Question

    Speaking of Warlock Pacts. Wording of Pact of Chain: So we are interpreting this as whenever you call a familiar (by ritual), you can choose any form you wish that time. Not choose one form and stick with it forever. You can even choose depending on your need that time or adventure. Flexible...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock, Pact of the Boon Specific Wording Question

    In order to justify the reasoning behind the phrase, let's first take a look of how the PHB specifies an additional cantrip of the SAME class. Let's look at Magic Initiate Feat: It cleary states that you choose two cantrips from a choosen class' spell list. Unlike with the wording of Pact of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlocks seem pointless

    Not really, as someone else on this thread has pointed out. > An invisible familiar that does your bidding (especially to spy or be a look-out for the party) > You share the senses of the familiar > Any item a familiar carries becomes invisible ("Hold my spear while I blast this goblin to...

    D&D 5E (2014) pact blade question

    Yes but the good thing is, if you make a magic weapon as your pact weapon, you can "summon/hide" it at will and you can alter its form into any melee weapon. Lots of possibilities.

    D&D 5E (2014) pact blade question

    Well I'm interpreting it as, you can't make a sentient weapon or artifact as your pact blade at all. If you think about it you cannot alter a sentient weapon or artifact into a new form which a pact blade is all about.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can Sleep spell stack?

    They can cover the area with sleep if they do their casts sequentially. 1. Since each cast can only effect 20ft from the point of origin. 2. Sleep puts creatures unconscious 3. Sleep does not effect unconscious creatures (or already asleep from previous actions) The amount of total HP affected...

    D&D 5E (2014) Extra Warlock gifts as a feat

    Yes but for me, even one at-will level 1 spell invocation is a bit OP for a feat. Yes and such spells uses a warlock spell slot too! Due to the limited invocation slots of a warlock, it kinda sucks that some of them require long rests to be used again (thus effectively using that limited...

    D&D 5E (2014) Extra Warlock gifts as a feat

    Getting warlock's invocations as a feat? I protest! Lol. Especially getting mage armor, disguise, silent image, detect magic, night vision on steriods, hold monster... etc. all at-will for a feat? common. Keep them warlock exclusive please. Call me a selfish warlock but... I am. Lol. So if...

    D&D 5E (2014) Extra Warlock gifts as a feat

    Besides the extra invocation at level-1, having an extra warlock pact will grant you multiple combinations of Pact of Chain, Blade and/or Tome! As a warlock as much as i would love to have this feat at level-1, an extra pact/invocation (at-will level-1 spells!) is OP. *Canon feats? In our...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock/Cleric Best of all Worlds

    Thanks! This made me read about the nine hells plane and deities. After 3 or 4 warlock levels i'll see if i can dip 2 cleric levels (Tempest domain). But if the class feature grants me heavy armor proficiency but my strength score is not enough for that armor, can i still don that armor without...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock - Pact of the Chain Question

    Reading thru monster manual it states when Imps, quasit and pswudogradon familairs are within 10ft of their master, their master is also granted their familiar's magic resistance. Awesome. Did i mention awesome?

    D&D 5E (2014) Magic Initiate feat spell + Warlock spell slot?

    Thanks for the link! Anyway reading thru the comments I agree that doing multi class will give you a lot more benefit than this feat. I also dont intend to state that this feat will mimic multiclassing. But I get the point of discussing this if casting the extra learned spell in a warlock...

    D&D 5E (2014) Magic Initiate feat spell + Warlock spell slot?

    Hi EN World, So Magic Initiate feat allows my warlock to learn 2 cantrips and a 1st level spell from any other class (long rest before you can cast it again). My question is, for that 1st level spell from another class, since my warlock learned it, can I use my warlock spell slot to cast...
