I think by default only Druid and Rangers (not Bard) has access to this spell. Also if a player thinks he might be wasting a known spell slot, he might opt not to pick this spell (for a Ranger?).

I pick my Race based on my preferred Class and since most Class would benefit from the Feats, I play Human for the Feats. If a DM would not allow the variant Human Class abilities then I wouldn't play Human. Played an Aasimar too before.

Right. Perhaps I'll consider this then if this happens in my table. Hey an undead beast, cool!

1. Polymorph and True Polymorph doesn't say you can't do this to undead. 2. Assuming you created undead using Create Undead spell and given that with the Polymorph spell, the creature assumes the new statistics of the new form - thus the creature would no longer be considered as an undead, then...

Some thoughts: 1. The spell just says resistance from damage from non magical weapons but it doesn't say it will not harm them at all. 2. AOE spell damage effects are not exempted too. 3. They may not trigger physical traps but they should trigger magical traps or magical familiars. 4. Make...

Well in my table... If the party needs healing after a long combat sure, I'll heal them. If a scout comes back wounded from a scouting mission, perhaps I'll heal them too. Yet as much as possible I want to maximize my healing to multiple targets in a single spell. But if a character/s does...

Thunderbolt or Divine Strike? Thunderbolt strike just pushes Large or Smaller creature 10ft away, whenever you deal lightning damage. Divine strike damage bonus is just for weapon attack.

Oops right. I'll do the math based on lightning bolts. Thanks!

I can't seem to open the link (I'll try it at home perhaps). Anyway indoor restriction only apply to Call Lightning spell yet if you are indoor and you have a window close to your area to can cast the storm cloud on that spot and it will strike through that opening. For dungeon crawls you still...

True. For new players to DnD, this is not recommended. I guess its for players and DM who wants the game more 'realistic' - "No as a human, you cant carry two extra armors, an extra mace, 50 torches, 50 rations with your regular set equipment." This also give STR an added value in game. Before...

For me, my answer is still: But it depends, their almost equal at some points: In a Dungeon Crawl - Tempest cleric can't be at their full potential. To note, their full potential is in an open area in the middle of a raging storm. Plus they get proficiency in martial weapons, heavy armors...

Can't Tempest cleric included here? He can will do just fine in healing and blasting. He only prepare the Call Lightning a 'fun' AOE spell (max duration 10mins) and others are for healing/utility. Zap! Zap! Heal! Zap! Zap! Zap! Note: for open areas

Right but what I mean was in our current table (as a player) and when I play DM I present that option. We never wnforced that table rule before, and it was fun at first until level 5 when eventually we came up with that rule. for us it needs to be toned down a bit, it throws off the CR balance...

Our DM do before so we really have to compute the weight that we can carry vs our STR score limitations and its a pain - but a bit realistic I guess? It prevents players to bring extra equipment (extra sword, extra armor, 50 rations etc). You can carry weights beyond your limit but you'll have...

True. In our table no one has picked to be a Druid yet but personally I either I don't allow Wild shape druids at my table or the player is really persistent, we have an agreement that its twice per long rest. It wouldn't under power the Druid since Wild Shape is not its ONLY ability. Worse...

Yes by changing into another beast that has better HP and AC as long as: 1. You still follow the CR rating limitations of wild shape with respect on the CR rating of the chosen beast. 2. You have seen that beast before. I think that's it? But its easier said than done in-game, especially if...

I think converting to elemental immunity is a bit powerful trait that you get by simply pairing a Race and a Class. If your group sticks to what is DnD 'official' then its a lot better to choose two Draconic Ancestor lineage (two colors). It's a lot better, giving you resistance from two...

Well good point but even if the party is "on alert" they still dont know when danger is eminent. So if a threat was spotted they know that danger is coming next or soon for that start of the encounter.

Right thanks for the tips! But i think with the limited spell slots of a warlocks i'd rather use a spell that will disable them and fight it with improved eldritch blast and with the rest of the party, than use flame stike for the purpose of radiant, but still this can be an option when radiant...

IMHO the pact boons aren't/can't be all that equal in all sides from the start as they are designed for different purposes. But the invocations are also there to give you options for 'upgrade'. If a warlock chooses not to use any invocations related to his pact then let him be. Also Pact of...
