I am getting old. I would rather it be Greyhawk or just something totally new. Something new with LESS lore would be fun...more to fill in. In 1st Edition AD&D days, the 'Realms seemed new and novel. We enjoyed a less populated feel. Now? It seems like a Mexican soap opera to me. Part of...

I don't disagree with any of the things you prefer. As to a misread of your intent it may have to do with dismissive if not rude presentation. One line labeling someone in a pejorative fashion is hard to misread, dude. I am willing to believe you are not so rude in person and do not go out of...

Looks fun...I think u could get some traction with warlock and dragon sorcerer themed as infernal. The minion summoning can be tricky but you can get a warlock invocation to call ementals and in xanathars guide there are both undead as well as fiend summoning spells.

The subtext here is that the creative process must follow one path or else it is invalid. Recently I wanted to play a gish of sorts. I rolled "interesting" stats with a 6 and 7 and it led to an idea to explain them to include having a limp and a trauma history. I had not thought of these...

I am a purist and have played for 36 years. I hate cheese but know that with the right attitude, you can realize any concept without wrecking the game. Wet blankets not withstanding. With approximately two exceptions, I think single classes characters are more powerful. But so what? Have fun.

i was describing a fun character. There is a nice trail of collaboration on the boards here documenting it. as to defense, what is being defended? I hope your group enjoys rigidity :)

It seems to me your entire answer is snark with some failed attempt at wit. What did you add? Haha oh well, internet.

For me the whole equation comes down to whether or not a rule makes it more fun. Period. If the text does not make it more fun, to hell with it. For example, I do not want to play a character that sold his soul for warlock powers. It does not interest me. I like to make stories about...

It is funny you say this...totally agree on the issue with pacts. I like warlocking for flavor. I have had several, all lower level frankly. Would like to really advance one! I have never subscribed to the idea of pact as written just because I don't like the idea of someone being granted...

thanks for the clarification. go ahead and be salty. cannot have your cake and eat it too (and complain on top of it!). I think the system is actually pretty balanced. I never feel totally outclassed as a player unless someone rolls stats (not witnessed of course) and takes every possible...

I agree with you wholeheartedly but just wondered why the difficulty class of saves would be different? I was under the impression those are rooted in prof bonus and ability score. (as an aside, not being critical just trying to make sure I did not misunderstand a rule!) that said, I think...

Fortunately, there are a few ways to skin a cat. This is why even after our discussion I am trying to decide between taking a level of fighter or to start as a hexblade. If I go fighter, I want to make sure I can take arcana or perhaps magic initiate to show he was already on the path the...

I Am not patient and when I multiclass, it's usually a level or two. We have some similar ideas here. I think GWM would be great. Shocking grasp and greenflame blade or booming blade would all be fun! I like the spell suggestions. In a perfect world I could start warlock and then go sorc...

Haha yeah! He is going sorcerer after a level of likely warlock! (Or as I think as suggested fighter). Trying to decide on dragon sorc divine soul sorc etc!

Happy 3rd of July! going to play a melee sorlock. Designing in the conditions listed above. What would be fun? primarily sorcerer...1-2 level dips in either fighter or warlock permitted. any sorcerer and any warlock allowed. what is the coolest attack routine you can think of based on one...

From a marketing perspective, this sort of "bundling" makes sense. Where I wanted and used sunless citadel and would love to use against the giants, there were a few I purchased in the bundle simply because they were included. Not only that, but offering orange soda (many small adventures) in...

I am such a liar!! Rolled stats are actually: 12 15 16 11 7 6! Final stats with heavily armored: 14 6 16 11 7 16 Brutal! But I had an idea...mad wizard wants to make "living dead" so fuses his formerly loyal henchman (LN) alignment with the stuff of the shadowfell! Hence a hexblade is...

In my case it's a game rule! Sort of like it getting rid of a dex penalty!

Yeah I like it. I guess great minds? I had been thinking henchman to wizard that betrayed him. Before making escape, he stumbles on a trapped entity in the wizards tower and either made a pact as mutual enemies or something less voluntary like you suggest...I also pondered him being carved...

Another random thought...using armor you are not proficient with if charisma is your attack stat means something... somewhere I read you might be able to get by without the penalty. if that was the case, I would take tough first and simply use ringmail... now where did i read that?
