    D&D 5E (2024) 5.24e New Cleric

    I was a big fan of the Arcana cleric too, since that was the only way as a cleric to get an attack cantrip that you rolled to hit and that used your Wisdom. (It's more fun to roll to ht than to make the creature save to avoid damage, for me at least). With the background feats now, Magic...

    D&D 5E (2024) Warlock -- initial analyses

    Lots of ways. Here's three: * third level gives you the benefits of a patron -- you can have one before then, but they haven't noticed you yet. You've sold your soul, or whatever, and got the introductory benefits. So you begin adventuring and eventually merit the attention of your patron, who...

    D&D 5E (2024) Warlock -- initial analyses

    This is helpful - thanks. Absolutely, if it's a high-level game your damage will lag using True Strike. But I think for most games, especially if you're actually playing through the levels, it's viable. If Blade Pact has the wording you suggest, it would seem an enchanted short bow is a viable...

    D&D General Warlock vs Sorcerer

    The Sorcerer is not a generalist, in any way. The Warlock could be -- you can have an advanced companion creature, and/or access to a range of ritual spells; with some armor proficiency. But your spells will be limited, and so it would take work to make this a "generalist" (whatever that term...

    D&D 5E (2014) (IC) Scourge of Daggerford

    If we're having a long rest, it makes sense for everyone to go back up to the house. I (as a player) am fine with that, and I don't think anyone would choose to spend 8 hrs here in a sewer when comparative comfort is a 2 minute walk away -- which there is. Tommi obvioulsy isn't thinking in...

    D&D 5E (2024) Warlock -- initial analyses

    I actually think the rules might have you covered better than ever before. You can be a celestial warlock, casting True Strike with a bow. You won't get extra attack, but you'll be using your casting stat and (at level 6) adding your charisma twice to the radiant damage of every hit. It could...

    D&D 5E (2024) Conjure Minor Elementals

    So, I presume you are seeing the two new videos released today: Treantmonk. He has a proposed fix, changing the upcasting. D4. Isn't the whole thing resolved if the bonus damage from the spell is only added once per turn? It is still an excellent spell, and the silliness goes away.

    D&D 5E (2024) Background feats and flexibility

    There's a lot of places where ading just a little choice would have made the backgrounds more palatable. I'm trying to like it RAW, but it's not easy. Adding a third skill (choose two) and adding a second background feat (choose one) would give some flexibility without sacrificing what I think...

    (IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 2

    The Colonel helps Gimak with the keys. The Colonel can Help (give advantage) and/or offer Guidance (+1d4). If it's a matter of reaching the keys, he can also Levitate.

    (IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 2

    The Colonel is about to accept Kahru's offer of healing, before remembering that he can heal himself. A quick prayer to the clouds above, and he feels ennervated, and ready to continue. He follows Donnell. "Every prisoner is freed. Only then do we leave." Healing word: 1d4+5=9 hp recovered...

    D&D 5E (2024) Warlock -- initial analyses

    Cool -- and that in part explains why it's important that Agonizing Blast be attached to a single cantrip, and not globally.

    D&D 5E (2024) Warlock -- initial analyses

    Three videos have dropped in the past 2 days spilling the goods on the 2024 Warlock. Treantmonk on Invocations Treantmonk on the Class and Subclasses Dungeon Dudes Here are my major takeaways: “more invocations than ever before”: technically true, but given that the pact is rolled into this...

    D&D 5E (2014) (IC) Fitz's Folly

    The tiny Vegepigmy turns with a fluid movement that seems comically awkward, as it adjusts to having only two feet again. It's not clear what the experience of changing shape as he just has does to his mind, but the small squeak that comes out of its mouth may have been Weed's final attempt at a...

    D&D 5E (2014) (IC) Fitz's Folly

    Miss Imogen wants to leap over the balcony railing, onto the table and to the floor and run and pick up Kapalue, her dear sweet Weed, and hold him in her arms. That is what she wants. But she can't. Not yet. "Weed, protect yourself," she calls out, and lets fly two more arrows at the hag. Even...

    D&D 5E (2014) (IC) Scourge of Daggerford

    "You bet," Tommi says. "Just clearing out the basement so that it doesn't repopulate. I don't think this will take five minutes. If you want you can go up and start a kettle. But with what we've done, it makes sense to keep going, no?" The boy wipes his sleeve against his lower lip, thinking it...
