    D&D 5E (2014) Looking for Build Feedback Arcane Trickster and Gloom Stalker

    That combination of classes will be pretty MAD, which is tough when using the standard array. Arcane Trickster spells will suffer from only having a 12 Int for your entire career, which only provides a +1 to your spell save DCs. That'd be less of an issue if you were able to focus on utility...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5E] Shadow Monk multiclass options - Warlock, Gloom Stalker, or neither?

    Ah. I see. I overlooked that portion of the Invocations text.

    D&D 5E (2014) [5E] Shadow Monk multiclass options - Warlock, Gloom Stalker, or neither?

    Is Book of Ancient Secrets even available to a third level Warlock? It has a prerequisite of "Pact of the Tome feature", which you don't get until Level 3. But you choose your first two invocations at Level 2. I read that to mean that you'd have to wait until you acquire your next invocation...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5E] Shadow Monk multiclass options - Warlock, Gloom Stalker, or neither?

    Why Hellish Rebuke, over something utilitarian like Unseen Servant or Comprehend Languages, or Shield from the Hexblade Patron list? With only a +1 CHA Mod, my Spell DC would only be 9+Proficiency Bonus. (A DC of merely 12 at 7th level, when I'd take my first Warlock level.) And I'd only have...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5E] Shadow Monk multiclass options - Warlock, Gloom Stalker, or neither?

    I'd considered that, but it seems pretty cheesy. Not sure I'd want to constantly bog the party down with "wait an hour... I gotta rest" constantly. ;) And that seems like the kind of thing that will eventually annoy a DM too, if abused. Not necessarily. The concept of a Gloomstalker...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5E] Melee/Dex Storm Sorceror Optimization

    Just because the Tempest Cleric is proficient in Heavy Armor doesn't mean you have to use it... Light armor and a high Dexterity, combined with a shield if you want, is plenty.

    D&D 5E (2014) [5E] Shadow Monk multiclass options - Warlock, Gloom Stalker, or neither?

    I have a Variant Human Shadow Monk with the following stats: 10 18 14 8 16 13 and the Mobile Feat. It has a couple of deficiencies, that I'd like to plan towards correcting in the future: 1) Lack of innate darkvision. For someone who specializes in skulking around in dark areas, this is...

    Pathfinder 1E Sacred Huntsmaster Archer Build Thoughts

    I'm creating a new Level 1 Pathfinder character, and have decided to go with a Ranged Inquisitor. I'm planning for a Sacred Huntsmaster of Pharasma. Sort of an ultra orthodox ranger/hunter, focusing on Parasma's role in the "circle of life" in nature, as well as a zealous investigator of...

    D&D General Welcome Thread

    I played various tabletop RPGs about 15-20 years ago, but life got in the way. I recently picked up some D&D 5e stuff (and dusted off my ENWorld account), and am wanting to get back into it. Now, to find a group...

    Drizzt Do'Urden Poll: Love Him Or Hate Him?

    I voted "Love", because I enjoyed the early books when I was a kid, and he's done a good job of getting folks interested in the Forgotten Realms and D&D in general. But yeah, he's overplayed, and I have no interest in reading any more books involving him at this point.

    The Contemplative PrC for Clerics

    Hmm. Well, that's what I get for making assumptions without rereading the class description. I guess the Contemplative is the exception to the rule. :( [B] *smack* I really should learn to check my books before posting. ;)

    The Contemplative PrC for Clerics

    Sorry, no. That isn't the way it works. If a wizard (with no other spellcasting class levels) starts taking levels in the Contemplative PrC, the "+1 to spellcasting level" that they gain adds on to their wizard levels. They don't get access to cleric spells. You must have prior levels of...

    Hobgoblin PC Question

    As Dr_Rictus said, they get a +4 racial bonus to Move Silently. Also, a Hobgoblin's favored class is Fighter. FYI: info on their racial traits can be found in both the Monster Manual (pages 119-120) and the SRD (http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/srd/srdmonstersh.html).

    [On topic - NO FLAMES!] God & Satan

    Re: God isn't "fun" What of the biblical giants? (They known by several names, such as Nephilim, Anakim, and Sons of Anak.) Would these be merely Large humans? Or would something like a Hill Giant represent them better...? The Hebrew golem comes from the Kabbalistic book "Sefer HaYetzera"...

    D&D 3.x 2E-3E help

    1. Take the character’s old experience point total and subtract the minimum number of XP needed to reach the character’s level on the old table. For example, Sigretta is a 7th-level fighter created under the 2nd Edition AD&D rules; she has 87,500 XP. The minimum XP Sigretta needed to reach 7th...

    Would the real Peerless Archer please stand up?

    I'd go with the Elf and Time domains instead. (I don't have my FRCS on hand, and I can't recall the elven deity's name.) Improved Initiative, along with access to Haste, Time Stop, Contingency, Permanency, and the other non-cleric domain spells, is much better than a mere +1 bonus to hit and a...
