Resting in a dungeon comes up a lot, especially with these types of things. Fact is static defenses will always fail against someone trying to penetrate them unless pressure can be applied. There are a few ways to do that. 1) Have active defenses as well, such as in this case the cleaning...

No, it doesn't. I college I majored in Astronomy. After college I did not become an astronomer or work in any related field, but I have done other things. As I became accomplished at those other things over the last 20 years not only have I not become a better astronomer what skills I had as...

I've always liked the mobility feat, especially since they've removed charge as an option unless you have a feat, and who's got that one. I've been really surprised how useful an extra 10ft of movement is in a tactical fight. You hit someone, walk 40ft away. They now have to spend move plus...

Well this merely provides an option for the Barbarian to do this, they don't have to. If the situation calls for the barbarian to be up front taking hits they can still do that just as well. But now they have the option of doing otherwise. So being one of the party tanks is no reason to not...

Or make him Barbarian 5/Rogue 2. He'll get Cunning Action and can dash as a bonus action, doubling his movement. Give him a reach weapon spear with Polearm Mastery and make it even more annoying :)

Yea, that is a great idea. I did something similar with a Barbarian, but also gave him 5 levels rogue. The combo is really sick, especially with expertise in Athletics, and the Tavern Brawler feat and grappling. Not only does he have 50ft movement, but can dash as a bonus action. He is...

I'd be fine with it, as long as it was restricted to just being effective with his pact weapon.

I used a Death Knight. They weren't meant to fight it actually, being a 2 man party at 13th, Paladin and Warlock. It was just meant to be the guardian of the prize they were there to get, and they had the key to bypass it. But they decided to slug it out. I even had the Death Knight buff...

Well that is a bit meta game thinking, and there are lots of reasons. One, it's magic. Buck naked he's still got something to fight say, an Earth Elemental with. Not much, but a damn sight better than his fists. There are many times in a campaign when you don't want to be walking around in...

Yea, they way underpowered the BBEG's in there, with the exception of Zariel, or whoever that fallen angel lady is, she's pretty fierce. But the others, Bel for instance? He's got less than 200hp, but he's supposed to be one of the fiercest warriors in Hell, a major war leader? I ran a...

So if I had a 16th Level fighter, he picks up 1 Level of Wizard when he hits 17th, he'll be shooting a 4D10 Firebolt?

Yea, the first time I saw that I thought about Orcus plus 3 Liches. The Liches just cast Fly and hammer Demogorgon with Magic Missiles, starting with their 9th level slots and working their way down. That's 115.5hp on the first round, ~ 105hp on the second, etc...., with Orcus cleaning his...

I'd definitely need to see some rules for the fight. We just dropping 2 Wizards in an arena? Can they buff up, summon things first as long as it's within their daily allotment of spells? If we are just dropping two wizards into a ring and rolling initiative, then I'd have to go with Abjurer...

And in case you were wanting to go there, you can't stack Monk and Barbarian unarmored defense either. I think the munchkin in each of us fantasized long and hard about a multi-class monk/barbarian/warlock with enough Dex, Con, Wis to pull this off :) Then I read the multi-classing section in...

Well, sounds like he's a good plot device. I'd skip the stat issues, and give him 1) A purpose 2) Specific powers to assist in the purpose My suggestions are thus: 1) You've got the purpose, well done 2) Anyone in possession of an object under BBEG's protection automatically fails any...

The thing is STR caps at 30, meaning at most, compared to the zenith of mortal human STR at 20, at most the differential that could be realized is that the Tarrasque at STR 30, our genre's Godzilla, is essentially getting merely twice the benefit from it's STR as say, Dwayne Johnson, who for the...

Some things that bothered me and what I've done or proposed, there are more, but here is what I felt like mentioning here today: Things that bug me 1) Giant creatures hit really not much harder than medium ones. Big things should be REALLY scary to fight in close combat for man sized stuff...

How do they know that they hit him dead on? How powerful could those explosives have been? Even modern artillery strikes can be fluky enough that you get unlikely survivors near the point of impact, and I can only imagine a jury rigged boulder, while devastating to the structure and anyone in...

I think one of the main issues with monsters not being able to hit PC's properly, especially lots of lower CR ones, is the fact that their Prof bonus is based on CR rating. They have HP that are far higher than their Prof bonus would suggest. Gladiators have 15HD but only a +3 Prof bonus...

Yea I gotta say something about Paladins in the group really make everyone want to just go smashing things apart without thinking much. I think it's the super awesome auras with Save bonsuses, and fear/charm doesn't work on them or those close to them that just makes people figure they all got...
