    D&D 5E (2014) 2017 Class Satisfaction Survey Results

    I don't know how popular my opinion is, but I think the best example of what a warlock should look like mechanically is the Raven Queen warlock. It has a great expanded spell list with spiritual weapon, sanctuary, and cone of cold. It has unique mechanics in the sentinel raven merging. It is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Help! I Suck at Villains!

    I think the perfect enemy for this is the illithid. The ability of the illlithid to capture and enthrall their foes and the sheer ingenuity, power, and downright creepiness of the race as a whole make a convincing case for the necessity of the barbarians to fight them especially if you make a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Multiclassing just with the core PHB any combo more powerful at low to medium levels?

    Barbarian 1/Moon Druid X rage while wildshaping to really make that bear form hurt. Also of note is Paladin 2/any charisma full caster X Smite using the abundant slots of a full caster

    D&D 5E (2014) (Homebrew) Sorcerous Origin - Blood Skilled - spending hit dice on other things

    I think changing it to short rest would make it very good and not OP whatsoever

    D&D 5E (2014) (Homebrew) Sorcerous Origin - Blood Skilled - spending hit dice on other things

    One thing I would clarify in Arterial font is that the hit dice has to be a sorcerer hit dice. No taking a barbarian or paladin d12/d10 and adding it to your sorcery points. In addition blood skilled is obscenely strong at upper levels. You could force 10 disadvantage on 10 saves at level 10...

    D&D 5E (2014) Roll20 vs Fantasy Grounds

    I f anyone wants to try a pretty promising new VTT look into PowerVTT. It's brand new, but the dev is diligently adding new features. One thing that is really nice about it is the ease of putting together a map quickly. It doesn't have premium features like dynamic lighting yet, but the dev is...

    D&D 5E (2014) [poll] Wizard Satisfaction Survey

    The problem is if you did that it just goes back to past editions where melee classes would feel super useless as the wizard could do everything. 5e has set limitations for magic casters for good reason.

    D&D 5E (2014) [poll] Warlock Satisfaction Survey

    There's something about eldritch blast that just rubs me the wrong way. I wish they would change it somehow. I like the meachanics of pact magic, but I think that they should start with at least one more slot

    D&D 5E (2014) Best archer build?

    You don't have to sacrifice Charisma if you focus dex and charisma it should be fine as long as you keep your distance to try and avoid damage. Yes you only get a few uses of swift quiver a day, but the rest of the time you are still a level ten bard with all the advantages that entails.

    D&D 5E (2014) Best archer build?

    I forgot that they are both concentration. They make perfectly good archers for a full caster. You get 4 attacks and all the myriad benefits of being a Bard.

    D&D 5E (2014) Best archer build?

    Valor Bard has 4 bow attacks at level 10 and could also grab hunters mark or hex to make it extra nasty

    D&D 5E (2014) [Poll] Bard Satisfaction Survey

    Yeah Bard is my favorite class by far. It's design is exceptionally elegant and clean mechanically, but you hit on the one problem I have which is Lore is just so nice. I think it may be less of a problem once Xanathar's hit as then we might get the college of Sword and probably at least one of...

    Unearthed Arcana WotC's Mearls Presents A New XP System For 5E In August's Unearthed Arcana

    Except that every creature is worth at least 2 exp in this system. Yes my example was absurd, but if you wanted to do a massive battle with this system a wizard could fireball a massive group of mooks and be like hey I killed 15 guys thats like a 1/3 of a level right. This is in the rules he...

    Unearthed Arcana WotC's Mearls Presents A New XP System For 5E In August's Unearthed Arcana

    I can imagine some 10th level Rogue edgelord sneaking out at night and killing 50 chickens and taking a level. This system is silly

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock: The Raven Queen Patron

    Its better because it doesn't use one of your likely 2 spell slots. That spell slot would be much better served as a cast of spiritual weapon and hex. It also can't be counterspelled like misty step.

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock: The Raven Queen Patron

    You don't see the combat value of a bonus action flying invincibility. A good self reliant oh :):):):) button. You are ambushed and surprised and taken down to half health in one round. Then you transform into a bird fly away that turn invulnerable and go to an advantageous position and use your...
