Like: Ease of making personalized and mechanically unique characters. Haven't ever seen this much awesome in a single DnD book before. Dislike: The binding on my PHB is already coming apart. (This one actually pisses me off a lot). Also, lack of tables and info, such as "School and shorthand...

I hate to be a party pooper, but I don't think extend spell works like that. Spending 1 spell point doubles the duration. At the beginning of metamagic it says that you can only use one metamagic option per spell, unless stated otherwise. I guess some people are taking it as using only one...

Ummm, sorry about the ad nauseam posting, the computer kept saying that the communication had timed out and so I kept tinkering with things to see if something was wrong with my connection. Not a one of them showed up after I made them. But ANYWAYS :blush:

Question. Sneak attack says "The attack must use a finesse or ranged weapon​" (emphasis mine). Doesn't that mean you couldn't use it with a spell attack such as eldritch blast?

Thrown Weapon Master Here's one I actually just came up with last night. Thrown Weapon Master You have become a master with thrown weaponry, able to surprise your opponents by swiftly switching between melee and ranged combat. -Whenever you make an attack with a thrown weapon you may choose to...

It's interesting to see that I'm not the only one that saw two interpretations, and to have it shown by other people that both can be logically defended. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it, because as I said I often find myself in this sort of situation in real life communication (sometimes...

Respectfully, wrong. To quote haste "That action can be used only to take the Attack (one weapon attack only), dash, disengage, hide, or use an object action." So only a single weapon attack, you don't gain the benefits of the extra attack ability. Also, I don't think the mentioning of a...

Wow, quick replies. That's what made sense to the player that pointed it out as well. He was looking through the phb trying to decide what class to play for our upcoming game and it was one of those "Wait a minute, does that mean?!" moments. I like to play devil's advocate with myself however...

Okay, the tempest cleric has an ability that lets you blast somebody with lighting when you are hit. Note the text actually says the words "hits you with an attack". They then get an ability later on that whenever they deal lightning damage to a creature they can push that creature back 10 feet...

So I was looking at the avata... I mean, way of four elements monk subclass and noticed something. At the bottom of page 80 there is a small chart that shows your max ki points you can spend on spells cast by the monk. Seems to top out at 5th level, makes sense to me. Monks can pump their...

Completely agree with the comment on backgrounds.. Absolutely love the freedom of character design that the background system brings, especially with the flat out core assumption of tweaking them to taste. My group had abandoned the idea of class skills in 3.X a LOOONG time ago for precisely...

To clarify, my concern isn't 14th level evoker versus 14th level transmuter. The concern is maximized cantrips versus warrior attack action.

Well a buddy of mine got a phb ahead of me and that immediately clicked to him while we were talking on the phone. At that point in time I assumed that there had to be something in there to prevent that, but RAW there isn't. Someone else pointed out to me that it could be done, BUT you'd...

The ovechannel ability gained by a 14th level school of evocation wizard allows you to deal maximum damage with a damaging spell of 5th level or lower. You can do this for free once per long rest. Each additional use of this ability deals damage to you based on the level of the spell. On page...

I have wanted to do this one since the last open playtest, and I should have a player's handbook in about a week. Jaguar, the Dex based barbarian two-weapon warrior (animal totem subclass). Stalking enemies with a longbow and fighting in melee with a pair of knives (shortswords or daggers) feels...

So I was nerding out and reading Harbinger of Doom's blog and ran into an interesting comment. Someone pointed out that since initiative is a dexterity check, the champion fighter's "Remarkable Athlete" ability should add it's bonus to initiative checks, and that seems to be correct from what I...

Just from a playing viewpoint, I LOVED the damage on a miss in the, what 1st or 2nd packet. What my character did was hit things. So he hit things! It gave me a feeling of mastery, that my character actually had a niche that made him special. So I'm a fan of hit on a miss in small amounts. If...
