To make the most out of a Warlock, you need to recognize and take advantage of the two aspects of their spellcasting that are unique among classes: -All of their spell slots are of the highest level they have access to (up to level 5), -Their spell slots recharge on a short rest instead of a...

If you don't have access to Agonizing Blast, Toll the dead will give you better damage than Eldritch Blast for a Cantrip, assuming you're hitting a target that's not at full health. I don't think I would use one of my level 6 magical secret slots on a cantrip though. Hypnotic Pattern is a...

Apologies, I misspoke. once per turn

My intention wasn't that you could get it more than once per turn, what I meant was only removing the condition upon its use. It would still only be once per turn.

So from what I gathered from your answers, it wouldn't break the game, but it also wouldn't be a good idea to introduce house rules when new players are learning. Thank you so much for your answers. I've decided I'll probably just use Rules as Written.

So I'll be DMing my first campaign soon, and it's going to be with a group of people who have never played 5e before. One of the things I've found that most often gets misunderstood by new players is the condition for Rogues' Sneak Attack. Players don't seem to understand when exactly they're...

I see.

I don't understand why it matters that Eldritch Blast doesn't have a material component.

Well that's really strong then, considering you can roll Eldritch Blast damage 8 times per round at level 17 (in combination with the Sorcerer's Quicken Spell), that's 16 damage.

The bracers of archery are an uncommon magic item that state: "While wearing these bracers, you have proficiency with the longbow and shortbow, and you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls on ranged attacks made with such weapons." If I'm a level 3 Warlock with the Improved Pact Weapon Invocation...

I really like that idea.

I'm not the DM, I'm another player, so i don't have the ability to make house rules.

I got started playing a level 11 campaign, and one of our characters is a Fighter(2)/Cleric(9) with 24 AC who walks around with spirit guardians on and destroys everything. It's great. Only problem is, in the first round of our boss encounter, he failed a dex save against a Beholder's petrifying...

I had a DM who tried to invent the game balance themselves. They said we all started with 100 HP (regardless of our Con) because "it's like an MMO", and the enemy's HP was similarly buffed. However we did the same amount of damage as usual, so combat took FOREVER. And then our DM handed a magic...

I'm playing in a campaign with a level 11 Ranger, and their favourite trick is to use Conjure Animals, summon 8 giant badgers, and attack with them round after round. It's great, the badgers deal good damage, they restrict enemy movement, and they provide a hit point buffer for the rest of us...

Added a section on Paladin features, added Oathbreaker, corrected some errors, started a section on magic items, revised the starter build to be strength-based and changed the race to Dragonborn. More builds will be added, and I plan to reformat the guide and sort out the sections once...

Here are my picks for some more noteworthy spells: Best: Misty Step: Reposition without provoking opportunity attacks, and it doesn't require your action. Heat Metal: Cripples any enemy wearing metal armor, and there's nothing they can do but hope to save against disadvantage every round, and...

Another great guide.

Might I ask that at the end of the article for each level, you include a link to the article for the next level?

I start at level 5 (and I took 5 levels in Fighter) so I already have Extra Attack. I could take one more level in fighter to be 6, and then branch out. That's not so bad.
