    D&D 5E (2014) Questions about 5thEd from a Noob

    Ok, not totally against that. Mostly just making sure I understood correctly. I try to make sure all of my characters in any game system all have unique recognizable personalities. Also I do like needing to make use of the magic items found rather than the everything available magic item shops...

    D&D 5E (2014) Questions about 5thEd from a Noob

    Yeah, I was just thinking that if we had a group that was completely devoid of a whole classification of spells, that might be a way to get a few of them. At least outside of combat. Whoops. Totally missed that. Thanks.

    D&D 5E (2014) Questions about 5thEd from a Noob

    Hmm... I will say that I always thought PF made it too easy to know about monsters. But unless it is just the particular GM's I've seen, I think 5thEd is making it too tough. So far I haven't seen anyone able to learn anything useful about any monster (even if it is common to the area) we've...

    D&D 5E (2014) Questions about 5thEd from a Noob

    Aha, I missed the Ritual Caster feat. So if my (for example) Eldritch Knight will be casting wizard spells with his spell slots. But he doesn't have a book and is stuck each day with the ones he knows. However, I can take the Ritual Caster feat and chose say cleric spells to write in his book...

    D&D 5E (2014) Questions about 5thEd from a Noob

    Ok so I've played Pathfinder for years. So some of these questions are coming from that background, some are just some confusion with the system, some are making sure I read it correctly. 1) There are no 'monster knowledge' skills. So unless the players metagame from reading the monster manual...

    Aha! I didn't realize that. Ok, it will bear some thinking. I'll find a couple still background appropriate but more useful to me.

    OD&D New toD&D 5thEd - Ftr>Eldritch Knight - questions, help, advice

    Where is that? I'm not seeing any subforums within the 5thEd forum. {Never mind, I found it. It's not within 5thEd.} I will consider defense instead of protection style. Not sure. I never thought of the weapon bond replacing a lot of the early warcaster benefit. I will have to think more about...

    Help with an archer ranger

    I forgot to list it. I do have 2 shortswords. That is what the starting equipment gives. I'm not sure why that is helpful since I don't have two weapon fighting. I only have the Player's Handbook so far, so no Gloomstalker. I did try to let the barbarian and fighters handle the melee. Didn't...

    Help with an archer ranger

    I am brand new to 5thEd (though I remember clear back to the blue and pink boxed sets). Just finished 1st session with this guy in Red War Tier 1 Adventure League. Did surprisingly poorly. Stealth never worked once. Rarely hit with bow or blade. Unconscious 5 times (once in first encounter twice...
