    D&D 5E (2014) Multiclassing rogue+caster

    Although maybe 2 levels of warlock is enough! That often seems to be the case.

    D&D 5E (2014) Multiclassing rogue+caster

    Arcane Tricksters are pretty sweet, but I'm looking at ways to multiclass with rogue and a full caster class. Rogue seems like an east MC because they only have ASI break points and not extra attack. My current idea is to go rogue 4 (swashbuckler) and warlock 3 (fiend, chain). Eldritch blast...

    D&D 5E (2014) Equipment Damage and Duration Rules

    How about a simple gp fee based on armor type and damage taken? E.g.: - heavy armor: 5gp per HP damage taken - medium: 3gp per hp - light: 2gp per hp - no armor: 1gp per hp Throw the item away if it takes more to fix than buy new.

    D&D 5E (2014) scaling non-combat cantrips by character/class level

    Yep, all good points! Probably not worth messing with :)

    D&D 5E (2014) scaling non-combat cantrips by character/class level

    Sure, those are good wordings. Most cantrips can be modified in a similar manner. Is this a "good" idea? Or does it just make cantrips too good?

    D&D 5E (2014) scaling non-combat cantrips by character/class level

    Combat cantrip damage scales with character level, but has anyone played around with non-combat cantrip scaling? Just some ideas, from off the top of my head: Mage hand: can lift 5 lbs per character level, min 10 Guidance: add 1d4, +1 at level 6, +2 at level 11, +3 at level 16 Resistance...

    D&D 5E (2014) Couple of volunteers needed to give feedback on upcoming class book

    I'm interested. I am a proficient writer and can offer criticism of language use as well as mechanics, if desired.

    Tangent, but what? WOTC will replace worn out books?

    D&D 5E (2014) Updating Improved Familiar to 5e?

    I personally like the idea of a feat that improves your use of a familiar, as suggested by raleel. Make Improved Familiar orthogonal to Pact of the Chain, so it is equally useful to wizards and warlocks, ritual casters and magic initiates. Some ideas, in addition to raleel's: - summon two...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ritual Caster vs. Magic Initiate vs. Warlock dip for Dex Paladin (Ancients)

    Yes, that sounds awesome. Playing Storm King's Thunder now, and it seems unlikely we'll get past 11 by the end.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ritual Caster vs. Magic Initiate vs. Warlock dip for Dex Paladin (Ancients)

    Smites are a limited resource, so they don't directly compare to EB I don't think. But Dueling is definitely important, as are magic weapons! I feel better now. Multi-attack with +2 bow, DEX 18 = (1d8+2+4)*2 = 21 -- plus Branding Smite, if desired

    D&D 5E (2014) Ritual Caster vs. Magic Initiate vs. Warlock dip for Dex Paladin (Ancients)

    EB average (CHA 18): 28.5 melee multi-attack (DEX 18): 26 That's... really lame. And it gets worse as DEX/CHA increase. Seems like EB is just flat-out better, and would be even if you could use Divine Smite with bows. It's not too hard to stay out of melee. What a disappointment :(

    D&D 5E (2014) Ritual Caster vs. Magic Initiate vs. Warlock dip for Dex Paladin (Ancients)

    I'm planning for bows to be a secondary weapon, with rapier for primary. Do you mean that a p9/w2 would do better with cantrips than a p11 would do with extra attack?

    D&D 5E (2014) Ritual Caster vs. Magic Initiate vs. Warlock dip for Dex Paladin (Ancients)

    Yes, I might multiclass into Warlock, but definitely not until Paladin 5. The problem is that Paladin 6 and 7 also give amazing features. Then Paladin 8 gives an ASI, and 9 gives 4rd level spells :) Paladin 10 gives another great aura, and 11 gives Improved Divine Smite. Basically, every level...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ritual Caster vs. Magic Initiate vs. Warlock dip for Dex Paladin (Ancients)

    Hmm... so I guess at 11th level GFB or BB would start to do more damage than Extra Attack? And I guess Eldritch Blast would also start doing more damage than two longbow attacks... even without adding CHA to the damage. That's kinda lame, actually.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ritual Caster vs. Magic Initiate vs. Warlock dip for Dex Paladin (Ancients)

    Why damage cantrips? Can't use them with extra attack feature. GFB with level 20 oath of ancients is cool, but I'm never getting that far with this char. So... why?

    D&D 5E (2014) Ritual Caster vs. Magic Initiate vs. Warlock dip for Dex Paladin (Ancients)

    Looks like we won't have a ritual caster in the party (probably a fighter, sorcerer, and paladin), so I'll probably go that direction.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ritual Caster vs. Magic Initiate vs. Warlock dip for Dex Paladin (Ancients)

    If I get to 6 I might get 3 warlock levels and ask my DM to let me respec my level 1 feat :) Would hate to lose level 7 aura (resistance to magic) though... Then ASI at 8... Then ...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ritual Caster vs. Magic Initiate vs. Warlock dip for Dex Paladin (Ancients)

    I'm building a human (variant) dex-based Paladin (Oath of the Ancients) and I want a familiar. There are three approaches I'm considering, and I'd appreciate your thoughts on each. Ritual Caster feat (wizard) + Get familiar at level 1 + Potential to learn lots of other rituals (growth in...
