    D&D 5E (2014) Red Flags For Classes In Sources Beyond The Player's Handbook

    I have played a Hexblade. When it was better. The lvl 6 ability is better now but the lvl 14 ability is trash. You're talking about trying to tank and barely in tier 2, have you even had a multiple encounter day yet? Let alone one without a rest? What makes the Hexblade trash is 3/4 of...

    When you get him past lvl 10 and fought some actually hard monsters, come back and tell me how well he tanks.

    Well if K.O'd already (0hp) all fall damage would be reduced to 1 failed death save. Lol

    D&D 5E (2014) Red Flags For Classes In Sources Beyond The Player's Handbook

    Talk to me when you get one past 10. I have a lvl 16 undead pact warlock that was formally a fiend pact before the SCAG reroll. I think he has enough XP for 17, I don't want to level out if tier 3 yet. Lvl 15 GOO that I retired because I got bored of him. Lvl 8 Tiefling Celestial Pact...

    D&D 5E (2014) Red Flags For Classes In Sources Beyond The Player's Handbook

    Cool story bro. Here's the thing. The difference between light and medium armies are not that much. The best light armor with the best DEX = AC 17. The best medium armor with the best DEX = AC 17. Sure you can add a shield and take away the ability to cast the majority of your spells and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Red Flags For Classes In Sources Beyond The Player's Handbook

    The group can make decisions based on the parameters of the game, true. But when I'm DMing, and I make a decision, then the players need to adjust based off my MY decision. I don't argue, I don't get in a rules debate. I don't let players take control of that part of the game because it gets...

    D&D 5E (2014) Red Flags For Classes In Sources Beyond The Player's Handbook

    Not really. See sure they get profiency in medium armor and martial weapons, but martial weapons is pretty moot if you're going pact of the blade. CHA bonus to attacks and damage is cool, but really what does that add up to, 1-2 or difference at best. Sure it's good if you're taking a CHA...

    The second thing is, multiclassing is optional, and that being said, if when I'm DMing and say, "no you can't use that combination" I'm still using the RAW, since it is "MY DECISION."

    You didn't explain how they are overpowered.

    D&D 5E (2014) Red Flags For Classes In Sources Beyond The Player's Handbook

    Do you guys even play warlocks or are you just arm chair quarterbacking? I almost exclusively play warlocks and I don't see why you guys think hexblades are overpowered. When it comes to multiclassing with paladins, I've already discussed why I would never allow that in another thread. In...

    D&D 5E (2014) Red Flags For Classes In Sources Beyond The Player's Handbook

    I beg to differ. I think fiend pact makes a better pact of the blade warlock. The only advantage Hexblade has, is you don't have to divide your stats, but if you build your warlock right, it you won't need to try and max out CHA.

    So...am I evil??

    No, a little selfish maybe, but not evil.

    The Monetization of D&D Play

    The problem is, if you're running AL in stores, you shouldn't be charging people. That's against AL's policy and I'm not sure the legality of profiting off of any printed material owned by WotC. If you're running your own campaign at your house, well you can do what you want. It might be...

    The Monetization of D&D Play

    The only acceptable things I can see paying for is, a room in a store, so you don't have to be shouting over a bunch of other people, or if the players decide they want to chip in to help pay for a campaign book, but those should always be voluntary things, not requirements.

    The Monetization of D&D Play

    I'm surprised people are willing to pay you. $20 a session is really steep seeing this is a once a week thing. It only cost $15/month to play WoW last time I checked. This might work where you're at, but it's not going to catch on. I live a big city with plenty of options. If the store I go...

    The Monetization of D&D Play

    The more I think about it, the more disgusting it sounds. If a store wants to charge for a room that's fine, but charging people to play AL when it's supposed to be free is not Ok. Stores get perks for participating in the program and get perks for attendance. I remember in season 1 the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Feats: Do they stifle creativity and reduce options?

    So this is how I feel about these feats. ACTOR Could a player try and mimic a dialect from a people they've never seen before? Sure after a certain amount of time, maybe weeks or months, but not 1 min. I think they can attempt it, but with an impossible DC that slowly goes down over time...

    In your most recent game, were human variants allowed?

    Were? Yes human variants are always allowed in our games.

    Why do people dislike the Zealot

    They aren't going to fix anything that's already printed, they've stated that time and time again. New subclasses do not replace old ones, just provide more options.
