If you work a 9-5 and have a family, your weekdays follow a more defined routine, so if a weeknight works one week, it pretty much works every week. Now if I could just find some other folks who will play past 10 on a work night. Weekends are good for one offs when you can commit more time on a...

I second Resilient (Con) if you plan to tank. At 5th level you will get Spirit Guardians which is good for tanking, and it's a concentration spell. Great choice for a character. My 10th level tempest cleric went straight to 20 Wis and not having Resilient (Con) or War Caster is starting to...

A frequent argument in our local AL community arises because a couple of DM's have decided that rogues can't make 2 sneak attacks in a round, one on their turn and another with their AoO using their reaction. Even though the RAW ability states that it is once per turn, and there is a RAI ruling...

And therein lies the problem with the bladelock. It gets worse at Tier 3 and 4 (which I admittedly have not played yet with these characters) when EB gives 3 beam attacks at 11th level and four at 17th (better even than fighters, who don't get 4 attacks until level 20). At that point even the...

I play a Fiend fighter/bladelock in AL games and a Hexblade eldritch knight/tomelock in a homebrew game where UA material is allowed. If you are set on a bladelock, I think Fiend might be a better choice overall. First, I find I get a lot more hp from the temp hp given by Dark One's Blessing...

But it wasn't moving silently. It was a large, heavy creature engaged in melee in a stone tunnel. It wasn't moving or acting in a way that allows creatures to be hidden, and wasn't under a silence spell. My point was that an invisible creature standing in front of you hitting you with melee...

But the rogue with perception expertise and the observant feat could easily have a 26 passive perception at 10th level and notice everything. With a 16 Wis their passive perception would top out at 30, regularly noticing things that are "nearly impossible" to notice according to the DC scale.

Your perception checks can never be worse than your passive perception. I am surprised that his comments on perception checks didn't light up the forum yet. At around 22:00 he starts talking about how passive perception is always working in the background to notice things. He goes on to say...

Off the cuff, after first read through these look like some of the best: Dwarf Resilience - Self healing while in combat is pretty rare. Nice for dwarf casters who Dodge a lot while maintaining concentration spells. A fighter could use Action Surge to attack, dodge and heal, and then use a...

The 5e cleric does exactly this, which is why I think it is one of the best classes to play. My cleric just reached level 10 today and I have every class feature I'll ever get, except for my level 17 Stormborn. Cleric is probably the exception that proves your point, since most other classes...

Thanks. This was very helpful.

The two barbarians, the rogue, and the moon druid are better at taking/evading spell damage. We were missing our evoker wizard one session and that is when I was getting targeted the most. We had our evoker back tonight and Counterspell definitely helped a lot. This was also my first session...

As my tempest cleric advances in level and we face tougher enemies, I am failing Dex/Con saves so often that I can barely keep myself healed, let alone the party. Did I build my character poorly, am I playing him wrong, or is failing your saves at higher levels just a feature of 5e D&D? This is...
