In earlier editions, you could sling and shield. I havent actually looked in 5th. Didnt halflings get a damage upgrade in the playtest? Honestly the designers have butchered alot of weapons and armor to fit their designs. Its probably my biggest peeve of 5th.

Yes, Ive seen the super combat prowess of paintballers. They are indeed mighty.

you can move as the ready action, but a ready action is not a full turn.

There would be no surpise round after the attack, just regular initiative. You tell yourself whatever, this works really smooth in play.

Then the rogue would be standing in the same spot because readying an action doesnt allow a move. This would be for a preset ambush and in actual play works fine. Almost think of it as walking into a living trap.

I would fluff it.

Well the sniper would take his shot before initiative. As for the orcs the surprise round round would start right as they leave the bushes or whatever. I would say the alert player would just react super quick. Now if the orcs just launched a volly of javelins then I wouldnt use a surpise round...

Alert doesnt let the player automatically get a turn. What it does is let the player ignore affects that proc on the surprised rider. If a bunch of orcs ambush the party by running out of some bushes then the pc with alert acts on surprise round. If a sniper in a tree fires at party that fails...

I feel like this thread is an over reaction from a dm to a player. Just throw a javelin at the :):):):)er. Dont hate just because of the feat combos. Just realise that there are monster combos that work easier than trying to over think the rules. K.I.S.S. Keep it simple stupid. Have a nice day.

I have a couple questions. How friendly are you with this dm? Did you know this dm well outside the game? Do you feel like the dm is doing this to attack you personally or is he/she just a control freak?Has any of the other players had this happen to them? At first glance this sounds like a...

This is what you do. Change your feat to crossbow expert and the get sharpshooter at 4th lvl. That feat combo with a hand crossbow is way stronger than those other two feats. If he bans those, switch to a fighter and grab great weapon master and polearm master. If he bans those, offer to dm.

I also find the ease of using range weapons and spells with little consequence a poor design chouce that once again makes dex the uber stat.

I have been thinking up a wound system for 5e, if a player gets dropped, they get either head, body, arms, or legs wounded. Which ever body part is wounded gives a penalty of some sort. Head=disatvange on attack rolls and perception, body=one level of exaustion, arms=Half damage for physical...

Do you think maybe the war cleric should have gotten a second attack instead of the bonus attack? Clerics tend to have a ton of bonus action uses anyways.

Name him Tadd and join a sorcerers frat.

I use a modified array of 16 14 13 12 10 8 for my games(basically a hold out from 4th ed.). I prefer it over rolling for stats. It gives a good stat and a weak stat and lets the players have a 16 in their primary stat even with races that dont fit the meta. This also works well when I dm for my...

I have a friend I used to play DnD with that had the same kind of luck as Wil. Its amazing and sad to watch. I also have another friend with just the opposite luck, he would roll them nat 20s right in front of us and say"You want to verify that?".

Dragonlance has alot of baggage with it. OG DL was great for my earl teens but weis and hickman should have left it alone. Too many hands in the cookee jar. Taladas was pretty cool, but all the later versions are garbage. Maybe areboot kinda like 4th edition darksun.

These things he says makes me hope mearls isnt around for 6th edition. I like bonus actions, can they see some improvements? Sure, but mearls definately wants adifferent game than I do at this point.

Does that ua sorcerer float your boat? Its very swordmage like.
