I think the basic problem is that caster feats only have two real options: know more spells or make the spells you know better. To make them well, you need to make those bonuses situational. Something like +1 to spell attacks rolls when not at full hit points, or can regain prof bonus in...

If you were to design a Paladin without Divine Smith, what ability would you replace it with?

That's funny but I have just recently started playing games other than D&D for the first time since the 80's. I think, from my experience, it's because 5E has brought a few people back into my D&D group. They had given up on D&D but have come back and brought with them their interest in non...

I don't think you can sheath a weapon as part of a bonus action. I am pretty sure you cant as a reaction. Your options are: Take Warcaster Cast spells that are verbal only Keep a hand free

I like the comparison to the advanced, hunter gatherer societies. I don't see elves, farming at all. Couple kinda random thoughts that connect to the real world and may be useful about hunter/gatherer societies: 1. They tend to spend a lot of time together. I read somewhere that around 4...

I was going through them today and found a few: The always know where you are feat Learn three skills The actor one I think were 2 or 3 more than didn't basically couldn't be used in combat.

Also, what skills "fit nicely" with the alchemist. First thought was Knowledge (Chemistry) but that really doesn't exist? Maybe Knowledge (nature)? I am avoiding Arcana for story reasons.

If you're proficient in Alchemist Tools can you make: Vials of acid (5 days) Alchemist's Fire (10 days) Smoke Bomb (reskinned caltrop) (1 day) or the more mundane items like soap? Wax? Baking Soda? You would only need the tools in the PHB and a work space that had some equipment. For...

Thanks Guys! I love the hostage, human shield component.

Looking for some suggestions... The Situation: The PC's had made an agreement with a group (Duerger lizard riding "bikers" modeled after the Sons of Anarchy) and now need to get out of that agreement. They have tracked the group back their base and are no thinking about just "kicking" the door...
