Heavy Armor Monk works great with the 2024 rules. Overall with the right build you give up very little of your class abilities. Some subclasses don't work though. What you lose is unarmored defense, martial arts, unarmored movement and Acrobatic Movement. You keep everything else, including...

The feats I mentioned have only been around for 6 months and they are pretty balanced with other 2024 feats. The reason I chose them is because they give one of the things those dips give, just one instead of all. People talk about how powerful a 1-level dip is, but at least on a 1-level dip...

This would be way OP IMO. No feat is worth a class level and no two feats are worth three class levels. Consider: 1. Weapon Master gives you +1 Strength or Dex and mastery in one weapon you are already proficient in. 2. Moderately Armored gives proficiency in medium armor and a +1 dex or...

In the PHB it is in the casting time section and labeled "One Spell with a Spell Slot per turn" This eliminates the "I cast Banishment" and then when the BBEG makes his save - "I cast Silvery Barbs" That would be two spell slots on the same turn and is not allowed in the new rules.

It is the central plot element in the campaign. We were part of a mass ritual sacrifice for a Sorcerer-King trying to turn himself into a Dragon. He got attacked during the ritual but the spell was already in effect. As he drained our life force we lost one point in every ability every minute...

Bard 12 would not have divine smite and on a melee character CME does not come close in play to divine smite in terms of damage due to the action economy and concentration. No it is a Rogue 11/Paladin 1. He gets to prepare two Paladin spells as a first level Paladin one is Divine Smite and he...

IT is a lot weaker in 2024 with the new spell slot rule and I don't think it was really that OP in 2014, just annoying. The main thing against it is it makes combat drag - ...... wait undo that and reroll ..... the 2024 rules already have a crap ton of that kind of stuff though, so Silvery...

No it doesn't. A Paladin 2/Bard 10 does not have Aura or Channel Divinity and that is the mix needed for a 6th level smite to do once a day what the 12th level Paladin/Rogue can do twice a day. Add more Paladin levels to get that stuff and the Rogue multiclass is outrunning you even with your...

Ok, without Vex you are half a point behind when you have your sixth level slot and further behind at every other time, while also having less skill proficiencies, without evasion, without reliable talent, without Cunning Strike, without Cunning Action and Without Mage Hand Legerdemain...

There is no way Disintegrate generally outruns Sneak Attack + Divine Smite in play at this level. Heightened??? You are talking about a Bard 11/Paladin 1 right? In the 2024 rules you can't cast Silvery Barbs if you already cast Disintegration unless you have it through Magic Initiate, and you...

Sneak Attack and Divine Smite does WAY more damage in play, not just a little more. Disintegrate is 75 average on a failed save, which is going to happen A LOT less often than the Rogue hitting, especially considering Vex. Worse there is no save for half and to add insult to injury a Rogue...

It is more than fine, it is OP because with a 16 Dex you can also dump Charisma and run 16 Constitution and 16 Intelligence on point buy. On the other hand, if you need a 13 Charisma and 13 Strength you can only run a 16 in one of these and need to put an 8 in the other on point buy or split...

I think current class means all the classes you currently have. Also if "current class" is just the last class you took then if my last class was Wizard I could not take a Monk level but I could also not take any more Rogue levels as Wizard is my "current class" so I would only be able to take...

In the games I DM I very rarely would deviate from RAW on something like this. This makes it easy. The players understand what to expect. I don't have to make judgements about "this is ok but that isn't" which leads to resentment. There are things I homebrew, but it is usually restricted to...

How do you figure? If I was a single class Wizard with an 11 intelligence, I could not add a class for something else.

In 5e we ignored it when we first started. Then we got an Arcane Trickster with two paladin levels who dumped strength and charisma. Barbarian and Paladin in particular can be abused if you eliminate minimums.

That is pretty harsh, especially since you can build a low intelligence single-class Wizard.

I am playing a multiclass Scout Rogue 3/Wizard 1. She had a 13 Intelligence, the minimum for a Wizard multiclass but lost 2 points of intelligence from a BBEG and her current stats are S6 D15 C10 I11 W14 CH6. What are the rules for this going forward with an 11 Intelligence? I was planning to...

So I guess WOTC is going back on the pledge from 2 years ago never to use AI again and to make those it contracts pinky-swear that they don't use it either?

Meh. I have not seen this in play, but IME full casters turning to high damage options are generally not that impressive considering the spells they can cast.
