    D&D 5E (2014) 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

    You can disagree all you like, but that is the history of that particular creature. It isn't a species, but rather a unique individual that wished for the physical form of an otter (or approximately that of an otter; I think he can still talk and use his forepaws as hands and whatnot). You see...

    D&D 5E (2014) 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

    Sorry this was from so long ago; I had similar thoughts, though, and wanted to find out how much of a "slow-motion Wizard" the OP was being. Here is what I found out: Disclaimer: I don't recommend trying this in a real campaign. Your DM would likely throw the book (like, the PHB and the DMG) at...

    D&D 5E (2014) artificer initiate, fey touched and shadow touched vs magic initiate and spell slots

    I don't know that I agree that Eyes of Night is distinctly more powerful than Eyes of the Dark. At first and second level, sure: Night beats the Dark hands-down. At 3rd+, though, Eyes of the Dark is adding an extra spell known to the Sorcerer (a really nice feature), and it is also adding...

    D&D 5E (2014) 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

    You could actually get a Glyph for an 8th-level spell by casting the Glyph at level 9. From the spell: "At higher levels: . . . If you create a spell glyph, you can store any spell of up to the same level as the slot you used for the glyph of warding." (my underlining)

    D&D General why do we have halflings and gnomes?

    I would totally watch that anime (or read that manga). :)(y)

    D&D 5E (2014) 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

    Twin Simulacrum? Effectively. They can cast a simulacrum that has a level 9 slot, allowing that Sim to Wish a Simulacrum spell that can duplicate such an effect, should that be decided to be legal. Your turn: Which of the following is true: A Wish-based simulacrum spell could be directed as...

    D&D 5E (2014) 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

    I agree that it's problematic, and I think that the wording should be that the sorcery points should be able to restore or regain spell points.

    D&D 5E (2014) 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

    That's an easy one to answer, actually. The Flexible Casting ability states that the Sorcerer is "creating" a spell slot, not "regaining" a spell slot. For example, it would be entirely legal for a Sorcerer to wake up fresh from a long rest and convert all their sorcery points to spell slots...

    D&D 5E (2014) 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

    It's certainly useful (assuming the target has proficiency, but not expertise), though I don't know why you'd want to Subtle it, in most use cases. Extend might be better, depending on the skill. Then again, as a concentration spell of 5th level, it should be useful. The Bastion is quite good...

    D&D 5E (2014) 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

    The only way this is not a coffeelock is that it is not Warlock spell slots being used to make the sorcery points that are being converted into Sorcerer spell slots. Here is the description from Geek Native: Obviously, the method you are using differs slightly. @Hohige variant: This is...

    D&D 5E (2014) 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

    No; it's the best at lying to creatures. It's not the best at persuasion or intimidation. It is not even good at creating a disguise (that is a function of the Disguise Kit proficiency and is more likely to be intelligence or maybe wisdom than charisma. (Read up on disguise kits and deception...

    D&D 5E (2014) 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

    So your mighty sorcerer who rules the world only, in fact, rules a radius of a half day's walk from his fortress? Okay. That's not so much, "feared world-threat," as it is, "don't go to Rhode Island." On the sorcerer's radius of control from his fortress: A few other nits to pick: His...

    D&D 5E (2014) 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

    Your sorcerer still has to rest. It has to land to do so. That's not how stealth works. The bard rolls one stealth check, which is then the DC for all rolls that search. If the roll is 12+, no one in your party can see him. Ever. At all. If the roll is 8+, only the sorc and the sim have even a...

    D&D 5E (2014) 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

    That doesn't work for this character. His sim can't cast a "normal" Simulacrum spell. He only has the spell from a Wish; it's not even on his list of spells that he can possibly know.

    D&D 5E (2014) 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

    In your boasts? Yep. :) And you didn't even address the important concerns in your reply. Additionally, I found another glaring error in your plan. For reference, the most important errors in your boasts are (1) your "effective hit point total" and that your posts seem to indicate that your...

    D&D 5E (2014) 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

    This post is broken into three parts: rules questions, verisimilitude questions, and questions related to the challenge the OP presents. It got long, so I spoiler-boxed them. Rules questions and possible errors: On poor verisimilitude, if that is the right word: On the challenge presented:

    D&D General Am I the only one who plays D&D with more than 1 character per player???

    I currently play in a 5e campaign where the other player and I each run two characters (and have had a couple other mini-campaigns that ran the same way). I also currently DM a 4e epic campaign where each of the (two) players are playing two characters. It's not just you. (historical note) Back...

    D&D 5E (2014) Aberrant Mind's Psionic Sorcery is officially the most powerful feature.

    TL;DR: In order for specific to beat general, that specific must be specifically called out. Psionic Sorcery does not specifically call out that it would allow casting spells of a level other than the spell's (default) level. Allowing Psionic Sorcery to upcast at all seems to be against Rules as...

    D&D 5E (2014) Aberrant Mind's Psionic Sorcery is officially the most powerful feature.

    What spells are on the list granted from the Psionic Spells feature? Is it the same as the UA list or has that been updated?

    D&D 5E (2014) The Scout Rogue - how did it work out?

    I, too, am playing a scout. The campaign is only at level 5, though, and we started at level 3, so there hasn't been a whole lot of play time. I was perfectly viable in the city encounters; rogues are just that awesome, anyway. I am looking forward to the next phases of the campaign, though, as...
