    Deciding on a character for AL.

    1. *sigh* 2. Cast SG, then take every turn to dodge. Congrats, you just did better than Blur but with still damage. 3. You realize that isn't one time damage right? That's every turn/first time they enter. That is a HUGE amount of consistent damage for a 10 minute spell. The difficult...

    Deciding on a character for AL.

    Um no. There is no better spell for a melee Cleric than Spirit Guardians. You know what's better than 3-5 damage? 3/4/5d8 Radiant damage as you upcast, that is also difficult terrain. Turning into an infant would take a percentage that is so unfathomably unlikely it really isn't a concern.

    Find Steed

    Interesting. Was hoping Pegasus/Nightmare/Hippos would be available, but it looks like not. I'm guessing common choices can be, in theory: 1. Brown Bear 2. Dire Wolf 3. Elephant (wooo) 4. Giant Ape (wooooooooooooooooooooo exotic saddle time) 5. Giant Boar 6. Giant Eagle 7. Giant...

    Deciding on a character for AL.

    Not really. The level 1 dip is just so, so good to be able to generate advantage almost at-will because DMs love rolling on the wild magic table. Almost all the benefits are positive or not that bad. I'll give you that Storm Sorc is solid, but that level 6 d4 off of a save, combo'd with...

    Deciding on a character for AL.

    My particular build has the Gauntlets of Ogre Strength to help, which makes a big difference. But assuming not: Str: 14 Dex: 9 Con: 13 Int: 8 Wis: 15 Cha: 13 Variant Human, +1 Wis and +1 Str (for plate). You could take Resiliency (Wisdom) if you're worried about more balanced stats...

    D&D 5E (2014) My lvl 3 Paladin just crit for 58 damage - Did I do it right?

    -Does the crit roll all dice twice, not just the mauls? Yes -Does Great Weapon Fighter affect the non-maul dice? No. This has been ruled on before. Only get to re-roll weapon damage dice and the damage from Smites/Spells is not weapon damage. -Can you cast a spell and use a spell slot for...

    Find Steed

    Is there any guidance as to what AL allows to be summoned as a steed? So far the only thing I've seen at tables is the War Horse. But the spell specifically calls out for better mounts as the Paladin levels. Any guidance on good breaking points/mounts to ask for? Obviously Pegasus, Hippo...

    If you wouldn't mind, could you check your PMs btw? Also, great pic choice.

    Winter Fantasy Roll Call

    Track A (reallllly want Track D or E though) Characters: Asimov - Evocation Wizard 10 or Arthur - Crazy Cleric 10 or Bendaka - Shadow Monk 10 I'm thinking of trying to get on the T3 track for the Epic though. If possible, I'll be bringing along the human freight train that is Uthgar...

    Do want. Almost had a track D but the store said I had to adjust my cart because it was sold out by the time I entered my information :(

    Secret missions in AL

    Weird. The Way Down definitely uses Special Mission, not secret.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e, No expansion: Sorc5/Wlock2. Help with some numbers.

    Sorry, I should have phrased that differently. It makes zero difference to your SORCERER spells/cantrips known. Unlike multiclassing to any other class as a Sorc (like say a paladin), you don't need to worry about multiclassing spell slot rules. If you're Warlock 3/Sorc 6, for the purposes of...

    Makeing new Duergar Ranger

    As sad as this is to state, if you want to be a "pet class" your best bet is either Bard or Paladin. Why? Because they are the only classes that get access to Find Steed, by far the best summonable pet. Beast Masters get to be pretty frustrating from a pet control point of view.

    Secret missions in AL

    I believe they're called "special missions" in the modules by the way, not "secret missions". Might help to clear up some of the confusion.

    D&D 5E (2014) After Tyranny of Dragons (OR: What to do with 15+ level PCs?)

    If you can, play the Season 3 DDEXs at a local game store or stream it online (all you need is a webcam really). There is currently 1 T3 DDEX and another one coming out soon. They can get you up to 16. Additionally, you can probably just play the last chapter of Elemental Evil/OotA.

    Deciding on a character for AL.

    I want to emphasize this option heavily. Wild Magic sorc = so much fun while being mechanically amazing for a 1 lvl dip. Pick up booming blade, greenflame blade, shocking grasp, and 2 utility cantrips (I recommend minor illusion and mage hand for at range trap/pulls). Level 1 spells pick up...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e, No expansion: Sorc5/Wlock2. Help with some numbers.

    Not going to provide sources because frankly that takes too long. 1. Multiclassing into or out of Warlock makes ZERO difference to your spells/cantrips known. Check out the multiclassing rules for spell slots. Warlocks with Pact Magic are a special breed and have zero impact. So your most...

    best build for Necromancer horde wizard

    Wizard (Necromancy) to level 6 Cleric (War) to level 5 Warlock (Fiend) to level 5 For the rest it's up to you. Mind you this is entirely dependent on whether you want to play in AL or not. If not, Wizard (Necromancy) to 6 and then the Oathbreaker Paladin for the rest. The setup I provided...

    On the off chance someone wants to, I'd be willing to trade my Track A for Track D or E.
