A PC isn't a beginner, either. It's not like a fighter has never seen a sword before or a wizard not cast a spell. As for 33 days to Level 20, my 19th Level PC has been going since 5e started, been through multiple campaigns and dozens of independent modules. He's killed dragons, demon...

I'm having my players go to Mezro to dig up info on Omu, once they learn of the city via Grandfather Zitembe in Port Nyanzaru. One of my players has an Archeologist background and we'll leverage that with a quest and some cryptic clues that point to Mezro.

Did you ever look at the Offensive Line for the Seattle Seahawks and wonder that?

Well, I suppose a wizard under the effects of Tenser's Transformation could determine the value and effectiveness of armors due to proficiency. BTW, this thread has now given me an idea of how to shut down wizards who have been taken captive - put them in medium armor!

True, Ogami Ito only ever wore that one robe. He just killed things faster than they could hit him (so lots of attacks) and had a ton of hit points.

The Hexblade is bound to a patron exemplified by a weapon of power. They may not have that weapon, but they venerate it and the spirits that guide/forged it. So waiting until the last second to choose a weapon of best utility is antithetical to the concept. This is a small ceremony or...

That's strange, because Samurai planning on a fight wore LOTS of armor.

BTW, check out the new subclasses in Xanathar's. A Significant number of key class abilities are only Long Rest refreshable, whereas they were Short Rest refreshable in the Play Test. For example, the Samurai can only use their Fighting Spirit only 3 times per Long Rest (or gain one if they're...

So does a Katana require less Strength to use than a longsword? Does it require more Dexterity? They were both made in comparable ranges of weight and length. They both need to deal with armor. They can both be wielded with 1 or 2 hands. Other than a perspective that 'Eastern' combat arts...

The goal of the 6-8 encounters is to exhaust the PCs' available resources. This includes HD from Short Rests & associated Short Rest recuperations that are 1-per-Long-Rest as well as those that recuperate from a Long Rest. So there's 2 or so Short Rests baked into this assumption. One way to...

I like Gloom Stalker. The class mentions haunting the dim understories of ancient forests, not just lightless places or the night.

The truth is that this happens in all game books. I've seen perhaps two or three perfectly edited non-simple games in my life.

It's like, your aura, man, it's so negative.

Here's this month's WotC Survey, just for AL. http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/news/adventurers-league-survey

It's kind of strange because if the item is concealed behind a barrier it would not be visible. All you'd get is a vague sense that there is magic within range but not be able to see the aura identifying where the magic actually was and what school of magic it is, until you actually saw the...

Sure they can! Wait. That was my answer to Thieves' Can't.

My College of Swords/Hexblade disagrees.

I chose Hexblade 1 and all the rest Sword Bard. Full caster with mad melee skillz.

And the flame wars have begun!

What? There's no rule about that? I've been playing it all wrong for years!!!! :)
