Gully Dwarves! Dragonlance without gully dwarves just feels like something is missing.

Rage says nothing about magic action so RAW Pipes of Haunting is fine because that does not cast a spell. Same with Necklace of Fireballs, I think that is fine too because it "detonates" like a Fireball but you do not "cast" Fireball. Any other item that uses a Magic Action but does not cast a...

It depends on what you mean by spare. Wand of Fireballs appears in 4 different WOTC adventures, Wand of Lightning appears in 5. Those are just those two examples. There are 10 Wands of Magic Missile, 4 Wands of Fear, 8 Wands of Binding, 5 Wands of Web and 32 other wands. Those are just...

Ok, that is 4 magic items. If they are items that require a magic action to use the familiar can use them, unless they are class restricted and very few items are class restricted in the new rules (and the ones that are class restricted are generally on those wish lists you don't use). These...

I don't like to deviate from RAW, so in my campaigns I would totally allow this multiple simulacrums and every enemy they faced would also have Truesight and Dispel Magic, making them pretty ineffective and short-lived. Also based on the wording of Dispel Magic, I would also say targeting the...

It is not the attacks at high level, it is the actions it does on its own, without the Warlock using any actions at all. Doing Hex-EB/Scorching Ray AND another action and bonus action by your familiar is going to be better than Hex-EB/Scorching Ray and no other action. Things like...

No but they all can be effective. My point, and perhaps I missed it and we are on a different discussion, is that a Warlock familiar is pretty darn effective at all levels.

Potions of healing, ropes and manacles are all adventuring gear.

Without concentration, Banishment is permanent. Until they run back.

Potions of Healing are regular adventuring gear, cheaper than most high level spell components and a Familiar can go around administering them to party members (in addition to taking an action) even if you find nothing else. Just about every published adventure has magic items, some more than...

At high level you are going to have that stuff. And it not just wands, necklace of fireballs, bead of force ..... pretty much anything that requires a magic action to activate could be used more efficiently by not giving up a PC action to use it. The cat's meow is a ring of spell storing...

I find it scales pretty well, mostly because familiars are allowed to take the magic action. So you can give them magic items like a Wand of Fear or necklace of fireballs or an elemental gem. They can also administer potions and it does not cost you any actions for them to do any of that...

I think it is high at a lot of levels. It won't beat a fighter at very high levels though and I also don't think it will beat a similar Rogue build at most levels with max Charisma and a 2-level Warlock dip for Agonizing Blast. The best weapon to go with here is a Musket which also means a...

Ok then, assuming you add Charisma bonus at your table I think a Warlock beats martials at level 2-6 using Pact of Blade, Green Flame Blade-Agonizing Blast, Truestrike-Agonizing Blast, and Hex, Cleave at level 4, and at levels 5-6 that plus investment of the Chain Master with an Imp familiar...

It depends on what you mean by "martial", what you mean by "caster", what you mean by "outdamage" and whether you are talking about a specific level or all levels. Relevant questions: 1. Is a martial any character who has martial weapons proficiency or is it something else. 2. Is caster any...

As I noted above if I was building the PC I would dump Charisma, get a 14 in Wisdom and a 12 in Strength. So I would not have 3 dump stats. The post is about then most durable build at 1st level. The example I am going to use is going to be specifically and ONLY for this level. Asking what...

I think there is a host of reasons. Here are a few: 1. Most games start at 1st level and a lot of tables many games don't last long enough to get to high level. 2. There is not as much published content for high level play 3. High level play is more difficult to make challenging I will say...

I played last night as a player. The install and launch went well and I really like the basic maps and graphics. It is super easy to load characters from DNDB. That is probably about the only positives compared to other VTTs I've played (maps, Foundry, roll20). I don't see it replacing any...

I really don't like the spell slot is not lost BS. It should be like a save or suck. They did a lot of this with the 2024 rules though.
