For what it's worth, I've just realized that a 20th level wizard with Spell Mastery: alarm and see invisible will completely derail the plans of anyone trying to sneak up on him invisibly or ethereally.

Honestly? You can't beat a DM PC. Don't try. Don't bother. Don't feed the DM PC.

For that matter, Twin allows the same spell to affect a second creature, so there is no point Twinning a spell against a single target. Edit to add: Which is why I've always thought that Twinning simulacrum is a grey area, since the spell doesn't actually affect the beast or humanoid you're...

For that matter, they would probably also take reference from the rule that you can't benefit from more than one long rest in a 24-hour period and apply it to short rests so that you can't benefit from more than one short rest in a 4 or 5 hour period.

It's probably a legacy issue because the wording of the earlier abilities probably wasn't as tight as they could be. If simulacrum was re-written today, they would probably use the same language as the Chardalyn Dragon from Rime of the Frostmaiden: "it gains no benefit from finishing a short or...

I thought the main problem with the almost always ethereal sorcerer is food and water. Does he get someone to supply him? Does he go foraging? Either way, it implies some more time interacting with the real world, or using wish to cast create food and water every once in a while to avoid dying...

Actually, you can't take Resilient twice.

Ok, let's recap. The sorcerer has 60 galvan magen, reducing his hit points by 180. The sorcerer remains in his original body because magic jar doesn't work that way. The sorcerer does not have a simulacrum of a drow matron mother because that would be outside the scope the character's...

Sorry, just reviewed the magic jar spell. Wish will allow you to cast magic jar, but using a wish to also provide a body to possess goes beyond using a wish to duplicate a spell effect, so that's a 33% chance of not being able to cast wish ever again. Finding a body to possess by other means...

Sorry, you saying it won't work is DM fiat, because if you read the rules, it works unless the DM says so. Unless you're acknowledging that we're not just going against the sorcerer but the DM himself, because the sorcerer is the DM's pet PC and the DM bends reality every time the sorcerer...

20th level human Wizard (Diviner) with the Sage background and the Prodigy feat to get proficiency in Investigation and to double the proficiency bonus on Intelligence (Investigation) checks. Using the Sage's Researcher feature: If the wizard cannot appeal to the DM to rule in his favor, the...

They look alike, but one deals Puffin damage and the other deals Sashing damage. (And Blad Pit deals Burgeoning.)

You might be thinking of her brother, Blad.

In the first place, it's not clear that they even have a direction (please see the rest of the post now that I've fixed the formatting). Next, you have not made the link between "know direction" to dead. A straight line covers a lot of distance, and the wizard can move. By the way, are you...

Please look up the actual rules before making such pronouncements. It makes it look like you're a childish and petulant DM trying to desperately to save a favored DM PC by making off the cuff rulings rather than someone who is interested in an honest discussion You have not explained how the...

It's now a Candlekeep mystery! The PCs must discover the identity and location of the mysterious author of "How I Created an Unspecified Number of Galvan Magen and Didn't Lose a Single Hit Point".

Actually, assuming the sorcerer is known to me, I'd probably just dream him to death. With Wisdom 10 and no proficiency in Wisdom saving throws, he's likely to fail the DC 19 Wisdom save (assuming cast by a Int 20 or Cha 20 20th level Wizard or Bard). This means no benefit from the rest, no...

This calculation does not appear to take into account the reduction to the sorcerer's hit point maximum for creating the magen (3 per galvan magen). Are you assuming that the sorcerer casts wish to regain the lost hit points? If so, this is using a wish to produce an effect other than...

I don't know if I'm being cynical or facetious, but: In 20 years' time, D&D will be rebranded as Demonstrations and Demagogues. The default setting will be Athas during the time of the Cleansing Wars. The objective of most campaigns will be to fight racial discrimination/genocide as represented...

I've played and enjoyed every edition since 1E and generally felt that every edition was better than the last except 5E, which felt like a step backwards from 4E, although I think it is still an improvement over 3/3.5E. I'm currently running a game which tries to emulate 4E style characters by...
