    D&D 5E (2014) So what's exactly wrong with the fighter?

    Just spitballing some ideas for new Fighter subclasses... New: Godborn / or alternate name: Paragon: How about something like - "Gain an additional feat/ability score increase every other level (or every 3rd), and at level 10, you unlock stats going up to 21 instead of 20. And a number of...

    Anyone else not a fan of HUGE dungeon crawls?

    I am rock-hard right now.

    D&D 5E (2014) So what's exactly wrong with the fighter?

    He was directly asked *BY YOU* to name a situation where a single d20 roll would determine whether or not someone would take 20d6 of damage. Don't be purposely obtuse. And again, why is no one in your party EVER willing to cast Bull's Strength on the Fighter? Is it because of your constant...

    D&D 5E (2014) So what's exactly wrong with the fighter?

    Ashkelon: You completely ignored my post about party composition. How did you feel about my point that it's not a problem with the Fighter, but rather a problem with you picking a class that your party didn't actually have any unique use for? If you have a party that already has a Life Cleric...

    D&D 5E (2014) So what's exactly wrong with the fighter?

    Question: Did you talk to your fellow players before making this character? If you knew that the Bard was going to be Strength-focused and the Druid was going to be Shapeshifting into everything under the Sun, it doesn't sound like your particular party grouping needed a Fighter at all...

    D&D 5E (2014) Suggestions for a New PC

    You could just burn the bodies, and then raise the bones after. Burn the bodies to cleanse the souls and offer them safe passage to the afterlife. Then feel free to raise the bones because... "They're just bones. It isn't as though I'm binding their spirit into torment and servitude. Just...

    D&D 5E (2014) So what's exactly wrong with the fighter?

    You're arguing that some things are "better" or "optimal" but the question of the thread was that Fighters are INCAPABLE. So maybe it's not mechanically optimal for the Fighter to attack four targets with TWF and Action Surge, but it's certainly possible. So your party didn't have one of the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Suggestions for a New PC

    I just want to say that I love the idea of a team of skeleton medics, that just run in, pull out unconscious PCs, and patch them up.

    D&D 5E (2014) So what's exactly wrong with the fighter?

    Move 60 feet = Take a Dash Action and then Action Surge so you can move 60 feet and then Attack. Or Dash, Action Surge, Dash again to move 120 feet in one turn. Deal 8d6 damage = 20 Strength + Action Surge + Great Weapon Master feat with a Greatsword or Maul gives you 2(2d6 + 15), which is...

    D&D 5E (2014) So what's exactly wrong with the fighter?

    Did you only read the first sentence of my post? Yes, bounded accuracy helps the Fighter, as it helps everyone. But what I went on to say in my post is that the Fighter has the resources to be good at most things. What the Fighter gets that other classes don't get is options for...

    D&D 5E (2014) So what's exactly wrong with the fighter?

    Is it just me, or has nobody has said a single thing the Fighter can't do outside of combat? Exploration? The Fighter has high strength and proficiency with Athletics. The Fighter can climb up the cliffside, down into the ravine, jump across the pit, break down the door, clear the rubble from...

    D&D 5E (2014) What is/should be the Ranger's "thing"?

    A lot of what the Ranger has is appropriate. Choosing a fighting style, getting favored terrain bonuses, etc. When I think of a Ranger, I think of a Hunter/Tracker who lives in the wilderness, uses a chosen weapon to great effect, and often will guide and help others through the wild. But...
  13. Q

    D&D 5E (2014) After grabbing a ledge and climbing up, are you also then standing from prone?

    I like this solution. If the player succeeds on the Athletics check to climb up, they're up. If it's a close fail, then "up but prone" is appropriate.

    D&D 5E (2014) Things that "need" errata

    I've played this way. It just led to everyone keeping all their non-throwing weapons tied to their packs with bits of string. Drop your sword to draw your bow? Now your sword is dangling from your pack. Dropping your bow to redraw your sword? The bow dangles, and you grab your sword from...

    D&D 5E (2014) Replacing Use Magic Device

    As a frequent player of Rogues built around UMD, I think almost everything suggested so far is not even close to good enough to replace Rogues being able to activate all magic items. It's incredibly useful to be able to draw a wand and heal yourself and others, to draw another and fire off...
