    D&D 5E (2014) Advice on a bard/warlock build

    just ended HOTDQ (total TPK sadly...) played half elf criminal bardlock 5/2. took 3 levels of bard, then 2 levels of fwy lock and continued as bard. notes: Fey is da bomb... you get fey presence which is an awsome panic button for you since you're not a front liner. plus if you have SCAG, hirsam...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Psionics and Mystics Take Two

    How did you get 5 attacks? And you forgot 13 in charisma. How did you get 20 STR?

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Psionics and Mystics Take Two

    I love this psion, and I think it's well balanced... Adavantage on initative? it's ok, people overestimate initative, unless you are an assassin, going later gives you a detailed mapping of the scenario... jumping first is not always the best option. magical weapon on first level? wow, it's...

    D&D 5E (2014) When to use Shove and Grapple

    phb says it is a part of your attack action... not bonus attack, not reaction... phb (195) When you want to grab a creature or wrestle with it, you can use the Attack action to make a special melee attack, a grapple. Using the Attack action, you can make a special melee attack to shove a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Adjusting to an adventure, a bard's perspective.

    so far I'm a 5/2 lore bardlock and im having a blast. sorcerer is more for a direct damage and blasting rather than buffing and controlling, so no, you can't substitute a sorcerer anyways... if you wanna go valor you can do so, you still are in fact a full caster... so no need to change into...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dispel Magic, Ready action and Fireball

    So what is RAW? The book doesn't say, the tweet doesn't say. So who decides what is RAW? Or RAI? The guy with the most posts? Because people here say way too easy if it's RAW or RAI. But nobody can really say

    I beg to differ http://www.sageadvice.eu/2015/12/11/can-silence-interrupt-a-spell-caster/ And with this answer I see no difference in dispel magic

    D&D 5E (2014) Sword burst vs. Thunderclap.

    to my view sword burst is better. neglecting S component lets you use it as a way out of a web, or other restraining devices. it's not too loud to alarm other creatures, and force damage is superior to thunder damage.

    D&D 5E (2014) is stealth an action?

    Not entirely true. As a part of my movement I can jump, climb, swim. Which may require athletics or acrobatics but doesn't count as an action. And from this point I got into stealth

    D&D 5E (2014) is stealth an action?

    Agreed. The question is wether walking into a different room while in combat requires me to use the hide action in order to move in stealth.

    D&D 5E (2014) is stealth an action?

    I was in combat, initiative was still in place. And no, I'm a bard, don't have cunning action

    D&D 5E (2014) is stealth an action?

    To be clear, I wasn't trying to hide from the monster, just avoid any surprises in the other room. Dm said that if I do so not as an action it makes the rouge cunning obsolete. I thought that my action is not hiding but using stealth as part of my movement. (pardon my English)

    D&D 5E (2014) is stealth an action?

    It was in the middle of the combat. Monster was before me, took its movement to leave the room (ultimately tried to flank us from the other room). When it left our sight with the back to us I tried to follow it to the other room. During combat on my turn. In order to pursue it I attempted to...

    D&D 5E (2014) is stealth an action?

    I agree, it does demand a stealth check. the question is, can I make a stealth check, and move at 2/3 pace plus take the dash action. or taking the stealth check consumes my action and my movement is limited to 30' or 20' if I also need to pay the stealyh movement

    D&D 5E (2014) is stealth an action?

    hide indeed is the only way, but the monster already left the room and lost eye contact with me, and my intention wasn't to sneak on it, just to prevent being ambushed by someone else in the room

    D&D 5E (2014) is stealth an action?

    my intenetion was to follow the monster sneaking. the monster went out the door and on my turn I followed it using stealth. I figured it'll cost me 2/3 movement, as in the PHB rules for stealth which is part of the movement. I saw stealth as a special movement as in PHB 182, which can be taken...

    D&D 5E (2014) is stealth an action?

    last session, we had an encounter and the monster left the hall to another room. I tried stealting there and the DM said that attempting stealth is an action, otherwise it negates the rouge bonus action benefit. I claimed that hiding is an action, but moving stealthy just slows the pace. I know...

    a paladin would seriously benefit from that due to lack of ranged attacks
