Yes. Think of ghosts, how they can walk through walls. They are using ethereal travel to get around obstacles in the prime material plane.

I agree. A familiar is a partner to a wizard, not a slave. Trying to cast planar binding creates it's own problems. You have to capture the creature and be able to hold it long enough to cast the spell.

The rule is, with intelligent familiars like those, the wizard and creature needs to come to an agreement before the creature allows the wizard to make it a familiar. The familiar link lasts until the creature decides it doesn't want to be the wizard's familiar anymore, or it dies (or in the...

What class are you playing? What is your build?

The problem with Asmodeous is that most people, Gods and the Archdevils included cant comprehend how powerful he is, because he doesn't show it the way other gods do. The Archdevils even tried rebelling and over throwing him and was unsuccessful. It there are 3 things that makes him more...

What lore are you talking about? He is listed as a Greater God since 3e. If you consider, he is the only God to rule an entire plane of existence, he would be the 2nd most powerful God in D&D of the 1st is AO.

That's not useful in combat. But, as far as in past editions, gods could cast any spell they desired without needing components or spell slots. As a DM, I would say, feel free to grant any monster abilities that they normally don't come with if they are important to your story. As for...

Varis, my 11th level wood elf druid, loves to spend his free time in animal form hunting when not needed by the Emerald Enclave. When he returns back to his community, he helps any way he can. Usually casting plant growth (the long version) on crops of farmers who can afford it so they can...

Salazzar, my 17th level Undying Pact warlock 3rd tier Harper, uses his unique abilities to walk among the undead to study them in their natural habitats. Track their movements, learn what he can about their strengths and weaknesses and even speak to more intelligent ones. He then passes the...

Yes, it really sucks how 5e marginalizes its monsters, but I think it allows them to be defeated by the players. The problem is 5e is kind of like Destiny 2. While friendly for casual players, it's a joke for the hardcore. One thing I find odd about 5e, is that 2e used to tell you...

It looks cool, but let me know when the graphic novel comes out. I'd like to get a complete story, not having to wait a month for the next chapter.

The problem with looking purely at the start block of 5e monsters, is that they were created to simplify combat between players and to give them a chance to win, not display ALL of a monster's abilities. A closer fight would have to be looking at their 3e (or 3.5e) stat blocks, where it list...

If the character makes sense and is fun to you, there is no bad builds. Near the end of Storm King's Thunder, I got tired of playing my warlock, so I changed him to 12/3 mastermind/GOO pact of the chain warlock.

Yes you can do both. The problem with multiclassing this way though is, sure you get a couple 2nd lvl spell slots from the warlock, but you're sacrificing 3 4th level slots at that point and an ASI. Go up a level and you're losing out on a 5th level slot also. Don't Bsrds get Magical Secrets...

The problem with the group check idea is, while the idea may be sound, it makes players feel left out. If you tell the cleric in platemail and a shield to make a stealth check for the group, the rogue might get pissed.

The problem I see with this staff is that the charges don't match the level of spell, and you know what spell I'm talking about, Sunburst. That's an 8th level spell, so at minimum it should cost 8 charges. 2nd, you said that it's supposed to go to a 1st level character? Let me guess yours...

No drow do not have disadvantage in bright light. They only have disadvantage in sunlight. They shouldn't take extra radiant damage because, they are not vulnerable to it like some undead are. The only weapons that should do extra damage to drow, are weapons that do extra damage to elves in...

Well, using your example, when 2 people lift something, it's always easier. The weight is distributed between the 2 characters so no one is lifting all of the weight. It's not to say that the weight has to be even, let's say the item weighs 200 pounds, a d let's say for example that the weight...

Wrong, they don't prepare spells, because they don't carry spellbooks. They memorize a few spells and go from there. It's exactly the way a wizard would be without a spellbook. The balancing factor is, they are limited to the schools of magic they can learn, since they don't suffer the...

Technically, there really is nothing stopping them. The spells known is really just spells they can memorize. But it's really a way of multiclassing without multiclassing
