I already had an account here, but will be here more now.

Totally agree. Most gamers and posters are terrific in either forum, there are rare exceptions though, in either location.

This looks like pretty good advice to me. I would recommend pointing out that the skills you gain with the knowledge domain you also get double-proficiency with. Also, probably worth going over the guide with a spell-checker. I totally agree that Clerics are fantastic for a 1 level dip. I...

I would say 3/4 cover + disadvantage. Super-hard but technically possible. This is only if the player can provide me with a reasonable method they are using to have their attack circumvent the cover (as in the example you provide). This is worse than just not seeing your target - there is an...

I'm going to respond with what is obviously a generalization, and there are obvious exceptions, but usually Actions are more potent than Reactions. Trading your action to prevent a reaction still might be decent if your side has more actions (party against a single toughie), but trading your...

The Orog using its action to "smash" the box is one of the best possible outcomes.

Wise words.

I was wondering why you were insulting me when I didn't think I had done anything to you. No harm done, thanks for the explanation. I don't mind people disagreeing with me, but I'm not fond of put-downs. We're actually not. We are more "Start with the rules, and go from there." We generally...

I'm not sure it was necessary to start labelling me with insulting terms. I responded to your original post in a respectful way. (Though from your use of each term, I'm guessing you have different definitions of each, though you clearly understood they were derogatory)

I can say without reservation that you are mistaken. Don't take my word for it though. If you listen to the podcast, you will hear me say that the first time I brought up this example to Steve, I had not mentioned the advantage for the rogue to attack (this was because that in the original...

Sorry, I couldn't find a bathroom, I had no idea they were your corn flakes.

The logic is that being unseen provides advantage/disadvantage, and it stands to reason that if you can't see through an illusion, whatever is obscured behind it is unseen. That said, DM's are of course allowed to rule any way they want, and if they rule that the creature obscured behind an...

I recently did a podcast where we discussed wizard strategies. Please find it HERE. Edit: I should point out that in the "minor illusion" example the opponent could use it's first attack to attack the halfling with disadvantage, thus interacting with the box and not getting disadvantage with...

Can I get an "AMEN"? AMEN!

Yes, but you included Lore Bard. This is a build that wouldn't be too terrible a caster (you are getting full casting progression, the a Lightfoot Halfling has a Cha bonus), and would be the ultimate at "luck". Might be fun to try. If anyone does, let us know!

Excellent catch! Thanks, I've corrected the sentence. It's been suggested to me that Lucky + Portent is almost too much fun for one player to have. I'll have to try it out someday.

Sorry, I can't really comment on specifics from 3.5. I wrote that guide 8 years ago, and haven't played 3.5 in the last 7 or so, I would not claim to be an authority on 3.5 wizards anymore.

That makes it (Absorb Elements) significantly better than Protection from Energy (since it's a reaction and 1st level - even though it's only one round), even with the added damage aspect going to waste. Switched the rating to green.

UPDATE: Both guides are now updated to include Elemental Evil options. Skip to the bottom to see this content.

That does seem to be the most likely use for the spell now.
