I think one could use empowered and seeking before character level 11 without too much drop off in damage compared to quicken and would make playing the character feel alot less clunky.

I think a level 7 sorcerer can convert all slots to sorcery points and use his class recharge ability can reach 32. 2 levels of warlock for hex + eb + agonizing is character level 9. My bigger concern is that at least 1 round per battle and probably more is from using your bonus action to...

Here's the thing. If physical interaction from attacks doesn't reveal illusions then: Turn 1. Players group up. Illusionist creates Illusion of a Boulder in their space. Enemies cannot see players. They get disadvantage to hit them and players get advantage to hit them for the same reason...

That makes no sense. Such an assumption isn't necessary simply because of quoting. A. The proposal doesn't follow from the passages, at best it's an interpretation trying to be forced upon the text. B. If you want rules that work at the table then don't allow illusions to give advantage to...

Sure and with the physical interaction rule that tells you it’s an illusion. Without you need to spend an action and succeed at a check to do the same thing.

I didn’t. And besides, what difference does it make if you wrote it before or after? Also, why do you assume I assumed that? Yea, so just pure coincidence that the thing you said you wanted out of the rules is how you ultimately end up reading them, despite the natural language reading being...

I’m not the only one understanding him this way. I’d prefer to have Kobold speak for himself. I do not trust your interpretation of his words.

One thing I always loved about illusion spells was that when the DM sent a bit more at us than we could handle, with some intelligent play it could easily give him a plausible way out of the TPK and that's something most DM's usually will take.

I think illusions are mostly meant to be out of combat spells, and the really are fairly amazing for that part of the game.

Here's my take. The Boulder Problem There's no good solution outside the PHB rules to the illusory boulder on a PC's space problem and it's much too powerful an effect to allow at the spell levels of the ability that can produce it. If the whole party can move (no hiding actually required) in...

In the OP you said: I think this snippet of your OP fully answers your 'what is the result you think I want' question. I think the misreading was when you said the PHB rules say you cannot attack them and proceeded to use the premise that this would mean 'the Study guidelines are lousy' as...

Warlock offers a lot for a 2 level dip. Can get hex, eb, agonizing, lucky feat and an additional take of skilled (can’t take more than 1x from invocation, but can take skilled on background and on warlock 2). One should be able to pick up virtually all the skill enhancing abilities. In no...

It might also depend on the skills you actually care about. For example Battlemaster can be good at some skills but not all. I think soulknife wins out. 4 starting skills and 2x expertise. An extra language as well (languages can matter for charisma skills). At level 6 get 2 more...

I think and still think he was saying precisely what you say he wasn’t.

So a level 8 Battlemaster fighter can have a maul, a shield, dueling fighting style for +2 damage, GWM, sentinel and this for max str. That looks quite a bit better than the typical great weapon fighter. Is that the intent? For one handed weapons I don’t see any major issues, though some...

I mean your damage is trash if you’re not attacking with advantage or making 2x attacks. The only way to do that without a vex weapon on a rogue is steady aim and steady aim kills mobility.

Also, I just noticed Thrown Weapon Fighting Style would work with Psychic Blades :) To make the comparison easier I might match the fighter dip for that. :) I think in actual play I'd just stay Rogue, i like some of the higher level features more than a bit of extra damage. But the damage is...

He doesn't need to. He can take mage slayer instead. In fact I think i'd rather have that than GWM on a rogue at that stage anyways. +4 or so damage vs a once per short rest immunity to a nasty effect. I assumed for a GWM archer that Sharpshooter was more for the can fire into melee and...

And the lower level you make this the less of the feats the assassin rogue can have. 91% vs a minimum of essentially 96.5% chance to land sneak attack, which goes up even higher anytime i'm using both attacks, and nearly reaches 99.9% anytime I start a turn with advantage and can make both...

The issue is that you cannot get sharpshooter, max cha/int/wis for true struke and GWM till level 13 at the earliest (13 instead of 12 due to the single level fighter dip). Which of those things are you giving up before that? Dex based Rogues can because Sharpshooter pulls double duty raising...
