The Gloom Stalker Ranger has that feature as well.

In Storm King's Thunder you can

This conversation reminds me of this.

Ritual Caster lets you copy up to 6th level spells (the max level of ritual spells, afaik), so I guess you can touch tier 3 stuff a bit.

Just bring a wooden plank and hide behind it.

Shield does specify that it works after the hit though, it actually only works if they get a hit, you can't even preemptively put it up after a miss.

Because the wording is "Vecna utters a dread word to interrupt a creature he can see that is casting a spell". That doesn't really work out if he counters after the spell goes off, unless he's breaking the laws of causality, which I guess would be cool, but I wouldn't call it the raw or how it's...

By the wording, it seems like he can counterspell if there's no components, but just because he can doesn't mean he'd know to, he wouldn't know to use his reaction in that moment since he can't perceive the casting until after the spell goes off, and even if he can identify a spell without an...

Vecna has an at-will counterspell with no range limit and that cannot be countered, and three reactions a round, and five legendary resistances, so casters won't be too great against him. On the other hand, he's pretty squishy, a few martials together could kill him one turn.

Charm Person isn't super great, but the one that always comes up as a powerful enchantment spell is Suggestion, an 8 hour duration that makes the target just do what you tell them. The request has to "sound reasonable", but the example the spell gives is telling a knight to give her warhorse to...

I don't consider them "that" much better, especially since the full sentence was "They can fight well, but not that much better than the other classes to warrant much adoration", that last part that you leaving out was my point, that they aren't superior enough there to stand out in-universe to...

Because other classes have their own abilities to make up for it, and it wasn't even a comment about comparing class effectiveness, just how they'd be perceived in the game's world and that the extra damage they may deal isn't enough to make up for their lack of mechanics out of combat (in terms...

I know, but it doesn't really change the point.

They get one extra attack at level 11, and can have some more bonuses depending on the subclass. It's good, but not everything in combat. But that wasn't my point anyway, I meant it in an in-universe view, where NPCs can react to your fighting exploits and you can get better socially as a...

You do hit a lot at that level, but I really have no idea what point you're making there.

Biggest issue for Fighter as a social powerhouse, imo, is the lack of really mindblowing stuff to do to really impress people to your side. They can fight well, but not that much better than the other classes to warrant much adoration, and out of combat they'll struggle to compete with people...

The Marut:

Sometimes you wanna play and it's just hard to find a good DM. This can help out if you have the money to spare, I guess.

For the caster level discussion, it could matter for things like Polymorph and other spells that rely on level, a PC Archmage can turn into an Ancient Dragon, but an NPC one couldn't if we just use their CR that's usually lower than level. You might wanna use level to keep them more in line with...

For me, I've never been much of a fan of caster statblocks, lots of underwhelming spells that keep you wondering why they'd choose those, no list for what other spells they have in their spellbook (for wizards), and with how ridiculously op high level spells are the monster can get broken as...
