Curiosity got the better of me and I tried my hand at some DPR math. It includes the crit chance, but I didn't do two-weapon fighting for the rogue and I hadn't figured out how to add Advantage yet (in the case of Steady Aim). Rogue 15 +1 dagger, +11 to hit, 1d4+6+8d6 avg. 27.375 +3 rapier, +13...

Who is doing more DPR with a +1 dagger? I guess a rogue? I haven't done the math, but I think a +3 staff with an extra 10d6 force damage per day in the hands of a level 15 monk can out DPS even a level 15 rogue with a +1 dagger. You save the extra d6s for a crit of course. And that wasn't my...

Also hill dwarf. High or wood elf even without Tasha's, and the wood elf adds +1 to Wis. I think that is about it.

Actually I don't want people to sit out for the rest of the combat, that isn't fun. But I do want there to be some challenge and urgency to bringing a fallen character back up. If you have to move into touch range and use a regular action to cast Cure Wounds there is measurable cost that is...

There has been arguments here that Monks don't get magic items like other classes do, and some examples are given, but the obvious ones seem to be left out. First, Rings or Cloaks of Protection are good for everyone, and good for Monks no less, but Bracers of Defense are great for a Monk above...

Weapon descriptions in the PHB. Here's a challenge: Go into the PHB and find what a Breastplate is. Then look for a description of what a Glaive is. How is it different from a Halberd? Good luck!

Not sure if it was already mentioned, but my vote would be to get rid of Healing Word. Terrible spell. And by "terrible" I mean: So good it makes the game less fun.

I am going to include what Mindra did the night before if that is okay. Sorry for the late homework. ;) Mindra was as uneasy about the truce as the rest of her party. She found herself in doing a different type of scouting that night. She circulated among the villagers trying to read their...

Mindra will move up to the prow of the ship holding her shortbow casually at her side. She scans the dock and palisade to see if she can spot anything amiss. Perception: 1D20+8 = [15]+8 = 23

Mindra will ask around for those that could use some help and will assist where she can in getting people ready to go.

I agree with this plan.

I think it would be very rare from me to decide on the number first and then decide what the character is. I would probably think something like, "The blacksmith should be strong... human? No, I'll make him a mountain dwarf and make him even stronger." Then I would set the strength at 18, while...

You might not, but others would. I would give a mountain dwarf, half-orc or dragonborn smith an 18 strength. Or maybe not, because they are individuals, but I would take their race into consideration. And I don't care what exact ability scores ever single individual in a race has either, but I...

I was thinking of Bigby's Helping Hand. Just gives the Help action.

Okay, it occurs to me that my spell is way better than True Strike, which only gives the caster advantage on his next attack, lasts for a minute and requires concentration. However, True Strike is a complete crap spell and should be removed from the PHB. I nominate my spell as the official...

I considered making it untargetable, like a Mage Hand, but then it doesn't really feel like a Bigby's Hand spell. Chill Touch has the spectral hand clinging to you for a full round, but I have never heard of anyone trying to attack it or spend a round trying to knock it off. How do they know...

Honestly it is almost flavor text. It could have an AC of 1 and attacking it would still be a complete waste of time. It is the same action to cast a new one and have it attack as to have it move and attack. The caster could just cast it every round and it would have the same effect. I only...

The more I think about it the more I like Commander. The only real downside is people worrying about the "I'm the leader!" issue, and I think that would be pretty rare. And in many cases the character that the Warlord/Commander embodies is a leader or commander type character. On the criticism...

Yes. Just wanted to point out it would only affect "willing" targets. So nobody is forcing anybody to do anything. Unless it is the enemy, which then prompts a saving throw. And even then it wouldn't be, "move here!" and you move against your will if you miss your save. I'm sure there will be...

I would say it is magical in the same way as Bardic Inspiration. And just saying that the buffs effect "a willing creature" pretty much removes the "I don't want to be forced to do things!" argument. If you did it, you were willing. If you are not willing, you don't have to do it. If it is a...
