To put Soul Knife Homing Strikes in Perspective. For a single attack that you have advantage, it means you go from 84% advantage chance to hit to a 96.5% chance to hit and a 12.5% chance of expending the dice. *Note these numbers are for the d10 version. For non-advantage attacks it would...

I still don't think you are making up the damage or accuracy. Even with archery, great weapon master, longbow (or heavy crossbow since it's available on the fighter dip as well).

Anyways, here's how I envision the soul knife playing. Turn 1. You use steady aim so you get advantage to land sneak attack on an enemy (allies and enemies likely not yet engaged). At level 9 you have homing strikes just in case you miss. Low chance of mattering but adds a good bit of...

How is the assassin getting longbow proficiency?

IMO. Wizards are for exploration. Sorcerers are for combat.

Anyone have thoughts on Soul Knife with Sharpshooter? I think I'm liking the look of this.

Sure you can. Illusions exist. If they didn't you wouldn't see them. But thanks for confirming there's not actually a rule in the books preventing the attacking of illusions - just some sophistry to bend the language to the results you want. The ground doesn't have an AC or Hp either. You...

I'm late to the party but the have patient defense for that. Or dodge action and Flurry of Blows if you have abilities that key off Flurry. Also, Mercy Monk healing when using Flurry of Blows adds alot of mid combat tankiness as well.

Warlock I think is a bit better than I first gave credit for. He's harder to compare, but as long as you can regularly get an average of 3 enemies in fireball/synaptic for all your slots then his damage should be good. He gets to push enemies around very well. Synaptic Static doubles as some...

My dilemma. I prefer the convenience of digital. I prefer the convenience of an easy to use platform across multiple devices. I don’t prefer that most digital content is tied to a particular platform that can shut down at any time, even if otherwise you own it in every other respect. That said...

Ah. I see how that could happen. I don't really fully agree here on the mobility part, because the point previously was that you can't get heavy crossbow push mastery and mobility on the Paladin 2 / Rogue. It's either one or the other. When you claimed you could by dipping Paladin, that's...

I've been there before too on the number of bounces! Rerolling damage dice isn't completely pointless given how many damage dice the spell rolls. There's lots of 1's and 2's to be converted to an average of 4.5. I mean you could easily be rolling 8*4 or more damage die with the spell. On...

Shouldn't 18 vs +3 Enemy Dex save be 75% fail rate instead of 70% then? EDIT: Nevermind. Saves are not attacks. Enemy meeting the DC is bad state for player, unlike attack rolls. Thanks. I think I've figured it out but there might be a better way. Essentially for every attack but your...

Yea. It's got me to thinking about how nice a Halbred would be on this kind of Paladin. Lower DPR that Maul but things like wrathful smite with reach seem really nice. Not really for the ranged build thread though, but I think there's alot of unexplored potential for me there. Take your...

I think I can have reasonable success on solving seeking or elemental adept. I don't know that I'll solve for Empower CO any time soon.

For level 1 CO Unless you already have a bounce reroll any damage die under average, including both. On the bounce reroll any damage die under average. For level 2 CO It's already getting less clear. Computing the reroll chance isn't so bad. You want to reroll at least 2 dice if you don't...

Then this is going to be a mess to calculate. We must first determine the optimal algorithm to use the rerolls. Like if the first attack doesn't bounce how many dice should i reroll there? All? 3? What about if the 3rd of 5 potential attacks doesn't bounce, should i go ahead and use the...

No, but if your DM allows it then go for it. My assumption is generally that he will not, either because the DM doesn't believe it's RAW or because the DM thinks it's stupid that it is RAW or because he has his own magic item crafting system that doesn't allow that, etc. If it's allowed...

If you want to do damage I don't think web is worth it. Not attacking on the turn you cast it, along with no guarantees about retraining anyone, along with so many paths for allies to get advantage on attacks tends to make it much less beneficial. In 2014 you could about assume martials...

Question on Empower with Chromatic Orb Do the number of dice you can reroll carry over to the next attack it makes if unused, or can they only be used on the current attacks damage roll of the spell?
