1. Take a race that can bump Wis. Variant human as always is ideal for free feat. 2. ASIs-> Sentinel, then Wis to 20, then Resiliency (Con). Can take Res (Con) earlier if your DM actually remembers to do concentration saves. 3. Brown Bear form -> Giant Octopus -> Polar Bear -> Elemental...

In terms of upping lethality I wouldn't go just the "more enemies, more hp" route. Put in a blurb that the enemy has seen the players coming and thus had time to buff up, all spell casters start greater invis, illusions everywhere to waste melee time running around, etc. It shouldn't be a...

Well, having the main bad guys not to a type of damage that you can easily be resistant/immune to would be a good step up the difficulty curve. Next, have spell casters that have had greater invisibility cast on them. They can then Counterspell those powerful opening gambits without being...

It also gives a reason to be an Abjuration Wizard besides the ward. They are specifically called out as being able to add their proficiency bonus to spellcasting checks (like counterspell and dispel).

Lethality is always going to depend on player and DM preparation. But when you know you're going up a against a green dragon, a few things become kind of obvious that players will do... But really, why were the rewards for T3 tracks so small compared to the T2 and T3? I mean our table had...

*slow clap* Most useful feats for a Druid are Resiliency (Con) to get those Con saves up while you're shapeshifted, and Sentinel to make you the primary target.

For what it's worth, you get Renown for completing 4-1. However, in the opening instructions, there was no mention of faction resurrection. Presumably something will be implemented, otherwise that means perma-death is a possibility right from level 1.

Okay I have to say, I was disappointed by the T3 Epic track. Everyone in T1 and T2 has fantastic stories and changes that impacted their game throughout the night. Both tracks got fantastic magic items usable by at least 1 or 2 people at each table almost guaranteed, and items that can't be...

I've said it a thousand times before. If you want your Monk damage potential to keep up, find a way to get Booming Blade + Hex, or Booming Blade + Divine Favor (or both). Any spell that adds damage per hit is by definition going to be better on a Monk than other classes. It's sustain DPS, not...

A Paladin who has taken the Oath of Clock Kidding. Paladin/Sorcerer/Warlock

Probably too late now, but I've been switched out from Track A and into Track E. Uthgar Redknight - Level 16 Paladorclock

If you're that worried, the best method is to Magic Initiate for Hex and Booming Blade. Take a few levels of Rogue (I recommend swashbuckler). Mind you my Monk is a Shadow Monk, but the general ideas still apply. Bonus Action to teleport to target, hit with an advantaged Booming Blade +...

The three biggest ways for monk to improve damage: 1. Level dip War Cleric to get Divine Favor 2. Level dip Warlock to get Hex 3. Magic Initiate for Hex The Monk benefits the most from anything that adds +damage per hit because they get so many hits (3 by default at level 5, 4 if Ki)...

So I'm starting a Druid soon as I got to thinking, what sort of magic items have you seen that you (as a DM) would allow to be used, while shapeshifted, under AL rules. I'm thinking things like Cloaks of (insert name here) would be acceptable, but what else?

Woooow. Go Roll20.

1. Wish -> 25,000gp worth of required components. 2. Long rest. 3. Wish -> Simulacrum. Instruct Simulacrum to cast Teleportation Circle every day until they run out of spell slots and use the provided required components. 4. Come back 8 days later and Wish -> Simulacrum. 8 days later...

Yeah I'm choosing to ignore the Errata because it's wrong. Moreover, I can easily get around that in the same way they did for magic missile. I roll 2d6 for the Storm damage, and add my Int mod (so 2d6+5). That then becomes the damage that's done every round (which is the illogical way they...

It's best for Evocation Wizards. You get to add your +5 to both the AoE damage, the lightning bolt, and drop it basically over your party for great consistent damage. Other fun combo: 1. First round, cast Transmute Rock 2. Second round, cast Storm Sphere. 3. Congrats, you just wiped out...

Bless is fantastic no doubt. But once Spirit Guardians comes online, that's a better spell (taking Resiliency (Con) of course).

What he said, but I'll disagree with his BM selection. Go with Trip, Menacing, and Precision. 1. Trip = When you take your Polearm Mastery op attack (after you get Sent) use a Trip die. If it works, the target is stuck prone until their next turn = advantage on all your attacks. 2...
