    UA Soulknife Rogue character

    So I love the Soulknife Rogue! I enjoyed the Mystic Soulknife, but I feel like the Rogue version is a lot more exciting to me. I'm thinking of a new character that I'm making at level 1 with the idea of using in a game if/when I find a game in my new area with a DM who will hopefully approve...

    Unearthed Arcana New Unearthed Arcana: Psionics!

    I read through it and have a mixed reaction. I really like the Rogue and Fighter subclasses - they're not perfect, but I like them better than the Immortal and Soulknife Mystic subclasses. I really can't wait to make a Changeling Bard(Lore) 3/Rogue(Soulknife) X character that is a mostly a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk/Rogue MultiClass Help

    Great tactics! I keep forgetting that 5E has the Spring Attack/move before and after attacks thing for everyone without a feat.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk/Rogue MultiClass Help

    Not long, just one session really - the campaign started at 5th level - but it's been a character living in the back of my mind a while. It seems like doctorbadwolf's suggestion of Drunken Master might help with this where I could switch between using Drunken Technique and Skirmisher...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk/Rogue MultiClass Help

    Drunken Master might be interesting... maybe reflavor it to something like Art of Sea Legs or something similar! I might ask the DM to let me trade the proficiency with brewers supplies for proficiency with Carpenter's tools (for working on repairing the ship I'm assigned to.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk/Rogue MultiClass Help

    I have to admit I'm leaning this way, but it's also my favorite subclass, so I wanted to hear from others that might not have my bias.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk/Rogue MultiClass Help

    I opted for Scout largely because I liked what Survivalist added and because of the Special Ops feel that it had. Skirmisher I saw as a way of keeping myself from getting overwhelmed as a striker without too much beefiness. I'm happy to get up and battle one-on-one, but when the second or...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk/Rogue MultiClass Help

    Hello, I’m building a character for a summer swashbuckling campaign and I think I want to do a Monk X/Rogue (Scout) 3 - Starting the campaign as 5th level characters. We’re a pirate/smuggler morally questionable crew. I’m envisioning a Triton character with effectively a Navy SEAL background...

    Eberron + Ravnica Fun

    That's a really interesting idea! I like that! Maybe a recent Shavarathi planar interaction with Eberron (my memory of the terminology is a bit rusty, I haven't done a lot with Eberron since 3.5) caused these Shavarathi organizations to bleed over and start having a greater presence on the...

    Eberron + Ravnica Fun

    I don't like the "the whole world is a city" concept, so I'm blending Ravnica into Eberron. Here's what I've come up with for how to work the guilds into Eberron. Still workshoping things a bit. Azorius Senate “The Once and Future Senate” a group that is dedicated to the reunification of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Triton Monk: Making the Best of the Non-Optimal Choice

    Yeah, for my 5e Monks Str is usually my dump stat thanks to a much more logical (to me) implementation of Finesse.

    D&D 5E (2014) Triton Monk: Making the Best of the Non-Optimal Choice

    OK, so creating her at 3rd level, Way of Four Elements, Water Whip as her first choice of Elemental Discipline as it seems fitting and flavorful. I'm just calling her weapon a spear. Still a work in progress, but her sheet so far is here.

    D&D 5E (2014) Triton Monk: Making the Best of the Non-Optimal Choice

    Since I see her as a recon element of a national navy I think I'm going to hybridize the Sailor and Soldier backgrounds (hoping that the DM I eventually use the character with will approve. Proficiencies as a Sailor, Feature as a Soldier, Suggested Characteristics... undecided.

    D&D 5E (2014) Triton Monk: Making the Best of the Non-Optimal Choice

    Another way I'm thinking about going is Way of the Kensai and selecting flavorful weapons - Trident and Net Maybe, or a polearm like the one in the above picture...

    D&D 5E (2014) Triton Monk: Making the Best of the Non-Optimal Choice

    There actually isn't a campaign specifically. I'm creating the character because... I need to create the character. I see her as a character in a seafaring shipboard campaign though. Edit: I think one of the reasons the triton monk sounds fun is getting to use the unarmored movement in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Triton Monk: Making the Best of the Non-Optimal Choice

    So I realize that a Triton Monk is a non-optimal choice mechanically, but I find it a fun flavorful concept - an aquatic/semi-aquatic monk/sailor, unencumbered by armor, playing a bit of a Navy Seal/Stealth/Recon role for her ship. So given the non-optimal choice of creating a Triton Monk as a...

    Avatar:TLA Game

    Hello all, It's been a bit since I've been around - got a new job and moved - but I had a random fun thought today and could think of no better place for its discussion. Has anyone ever done a game set in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender? I have just discovered/rediscovered it on...

    Advanced Magic the Gathering Player, Wanting to Improve

    I watched MtG being played in high school (1993-1996) and I started playing in 1996 or 1997 in college. I've collected and/or played with varying frequency throughout the intervening years at a casual level. I think I've gotten fairly good and have quite a collection of decks that I've built...
