No I have a lot of time I am holding two things in my hand and one is not a shield, whether that is two weapons or a weapon and a lantern or a weapon and a magic item that does something. Also the main reason for warcaster, especially on a build with spells is the opportunity attack spell...

Depends on level range and if you are going single classed or multiclassed. You would want Elf race with skilled feat. After that here goes: Without multiclassing: Level 1: Rogue Level 2-8: Fighter Level 9+: Rogue With multiclassing here is my first cut: Level 1: Rogue Level 2...

They have a specific gold piece price (50gp) in the PHB. You can also buy them in AL. I don't think what you are quiting was ever intended to apply to potions of healing in the context you are using.

For me spells are the paragon of the Ranger class and the current class does not have enough of them, especially Arcane spells. You would need to give Rogues a lot more spells to have them absorb Ranger IMO.

Which is why I said "after level 19, when Combat Prowess comes online" Your chance of rolling 1 more than once a round is very, very low especially since you are often attacking with advantage. Heck a champion gets Heroic Inspiration every round at level 10! It was pretty cool on one of my...

What do you mean by "mobility"? Do you mean the Speedy Feat? I thought you were just talking about being mobile in general, which comes most from Cunning action in this build (unless I am missing something). You can get Heavy Crossbow mastery with 1 level in Paladin.

I am NOT wrong. Read the rules, PHB page 210 Boon of Combat Prowess. If you roll a 1 on an attack and you have Combat Prowess you make it a hit. You can do this every single round, which means in most games you will never miss at all once this is online. In addition with weapon masteries you...

This is not true in play at high level because the possibility of doing normal damage becomes extremely high on an attack roll, where the chance of making a save is usually much higher. Additionally the conditional dice you get which scale based on user resources drive the value of a crit...

Three I believe, which was all of the PCs that used weapons. Viscous weapons are not the "best magic items" though. If we were going buy the DMG guidelines they should have all been wielding a Vorpal Weapon with a Defender in the offhand and if they were doing that, it would have been only...

Those are not the best items in the game. They are not even close to the best items in the game. This is what put us well over the 23 Rare items we should have had (about 40-50 total) though. Without these we would have been WAY below the DMG guidelines in both quality and number of magic...

I would go Charisma or Wisdom instead of Intelligence, but Int would work.

Ok. I thought you were using both push and slow, I think from where you said you "slow their advance", I see I took that out of context. I don't know why it is less mobile, I would think it is more mobile because if you are splitting levels early cunning action and Withdraw come on earlier...

You have that backwards. Potions of healing are not among the "best magic items" they are the not even among the best potions or even "good" as far as magic items go. Potions of healing are on the high end of common items, but they are still common items. If you ranked all the magic items in...

I play to 20th level pretty regularly, but we are not building temples. In one game I am in now we are 16th level. I bought a bastion at 5th level with a little garden in it that produces poisons and antidotes, but it was pretty meh and I got bored and it is just on autopilot now. Maybe I...

A lot do, but I do believe they are a minority, hence I don't think most do. I think you can in most campaigns, and like I said if the DM wants to limit the amount of PHB gear you can buy that should be a discussion in session 0. The DMG states exp[licitly that common magic items will "often"...

Unless I am missing something, you need 9 levels of fighter to use slow with a heavy crossbow. With cunning action disengage, I'm also not seeing what the XBE feat is doing for you. I think Truestrike with maximum Charisma is a better foundation for a crossbow wielding Rogue type. With a...

Actually the claim is that there are usually better ways to use a bonus action for healing than wasting a use of second wind on it. Healing potions, when they are widely available, (as they are in most games IME) are one of those ways. Aside from buying healing potions, they can also be made...

I think more people play published adventures than homespun adventures, especially if you include older conversions. I do think a lot of those are 3rd party adventures, but published just the same and seem to me to have the same sort of loot.

I think most published adventures provide far more than this. Not a little more than this but far more and as I said earlier, there are entire threads on this board talking about PCs getting too much loot. In any case, whether accurate or not, by level 5 PCs have enough money to buy plenty of...
