Out of curiosity, and because it would be the best way to help you, what 3-class are you considering? What is the concept you are aiming for? If you are just looking for general advice, I think general flexibility will keep your character up fine with others. As long as you have at least +2-3...

Personally, I would rule it as a spell that give them 10 10 foot cubes. Without getting too fiddly, they would still be able to dig a deep hole that can fit a ship or two, depending on the ship size. EDIT: I meant 10 10 foot cubes, not 100.

"Finite" here meaning "About 2 seconds." Unless you are playing a Berserker in spiked armor. That might push the deadline up a bit.

I would say that "Failure" Doesn't accomplish a whole lot, story wise. Instead, I would have "Success", and "Success with a minor/major complication" depending on how much they fail. So, for example, your example of them damaging the thieves tools. Let the check succeed, but they have damaged...

I am going to be running a 5E sea-faring game soon, so I might keep an eye on this. As for my own goals in my homebrew, the combat will lead to boarding very quickly. I might have one or two closing rounds, where the PCs can do things like help with the sails, or prepare for boarding, to give...

There are three uses for a d20. Attacks, Ability Checks, and Saving Throws. Shove is a Contested Ability Check, not an Attack, so I would say no.

I hope they also do some work with Roll20.

I have a Bladelock/Swashbuckler that fits that description pretty well. One could also use a Monk/Bladelock, or a Swashbuckler/Wizard. I think Bladesinger is also built to work like that, IIRC.

I would like weapon choices to matter more, but do not really need more weapons. Maybe just adding a crit-range like I saw the one time I tried pathfinder. Then the thief would have to choose between the High-crit/Low damage Dagger vs a low-crit/high damage Rapier. A lot more depth can be added...

1) See my post above, I agree with pretty much all of this. I am just playing Devil's advocate for the purpose of deeper discussion. 2) I just had a thought. What if the warlord had a sort of Ki (Inspiration points, trust, luck*, whatever you want to call it.), as well as a scaling die like the...

I apologize if it seemed that I meant Warlord fans were inflexible. I just mean that the fans don't 100% agree on what it needs to turn out as. As I mentioned in other posts though, I agree with you that it is not a real block, just a reasonable concern someone might present if they had a real...

Ah, that's what I get for reading in the dark, apologies. In that case, I would recommend control or AoE-multi-round spells, like Cloudkill or Cloud of Gas. For a particularly dastardly spell, later on, you could put something like Feeblemind in there. *Shudder*

For starters, Glyph of warding specifies that you can only store spells of 3rd level or lower in it.

I don't even understand what that means. FWIW though, I agree that Nature cleric and Druid are a bit too similar, though that might have more to do with my dislike for divine flavor. Druid feels like a good solid concept, but Nature Cleric, like all the other clerics IMO, feels very flat. I...

I agree. Of the three reasons I posted (note, those are just the ones off the top of my head. there are more, as I am sure some people would be willing to tell you), the one I think holds the most water is the last. Just in the past few pages of this thread, three different warlord fans have...

Well, there are two sorts, as far as I can tell, that are against the warlord. There are the unreasonable ones, that seem to light up with rage at the mention of "Warlord". We can discount their opinions, as I usually do with unreasonable things. Then, there are the reasonable ones, with actual...

I would say yes, a new save each time they get bitten. However, IIRC, the Vampire only needs to bite once, then they can suck the PC dry without triggering any saves. One-failed-save=Death is bad, but what about 2 failed saves?

My concept is much more free-form. When my players gain a level they will be getting points equal to their level. They can spend those points on any ability in the book for their level or lower, with some having requirements (Can't get 3 attacks unless you have 2 already). If my players are...

From what I have seen people say, the two fighters are two sides to the same Warlord shaped coin. One grants attacks (Like a warlord can), and the other buffs people in a radius, without magic (Like a warlord can). My guess is, WoTC made BM to fill a little of the Warlord Niche, and people...

I agree, there are no "major" hurdles, and it should happen. Unfortunately, things seem to align in such a way that it gets delayed. I don't know if you play pokemon, but a similar phenomenon happens with a creature in it called Eevee. Eevee evolutions (Eeveelutions to the fans) are...
