OK fine. But otherwise my point stands re this thread, and I've raised this topic with you personally via PM (and never got a response). This exact thread (or copies of it, in various forms) about 'Martials suck and Casters rock' seems to crop up on a weekly basis (the thread I PMd you about...

At 12th Aaracrocka BM Fighter. +2 Dex, Sharpshooter, Feytouched (Hunters Mark +1 Wis), Resilient (wisdom). Gear +2 Longbow and Bracers of Archery provided by the Artificer. (Dump Int, Str, Cha, Max Dex, Wis, Con). Maneuvers of note are Precise, Menacing, Pushing, Ambush and Maneuvering attack...

Fair call, its your game. I could see myself giving him the same ability. FWIW, I reckon I could pretty reliably take Vecna out with just 2 PCs (a Fighter, and an Artificer), both 12th level.

I dont care about 'magic or support abilities' (and Battlemasters do get support abilities). They're not relevant to my ability to function in the three pillars. This is 5E. A +11.5 to a skill check at 4th level, is a little beyond 'vaguely impressive'. Yes they can do that. With an...

Ah so the game working as intended. Co-operative play with each PC helping the others achieve tasks. Again, I can literally create a 4th level Battlemaster Fighter, right now, that is Top Tier in the social pillar, while still being just as effective in the Combat pillar (indeed, the most...

For the love of Orcus THERE IS NO PROBLEM. It's only a 'problem' to a small core of whiners that raise the same points over and over and over again, in this thread (and threads like it) that they spawn every week, and have done for years now. Overwhelmingly (in survey after survey) Fighter is...

@Mort First dot point of Mage Slayer feat: When a creature within 5 feet of you casts a spell, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that creature. Note, no need to see your target either. Within 5' and cast a spell, you get your Attack as a reaction. This is how...

So your position is: If a creatures reaction has a trigger, the creature can take that reaction when that trigger occurs, even if that creature is totally unaware of the trigger occurring. So why is Counterspell different? And also this one: ''Counterspell requires you to see a creature...

Ok, lets take Feather Fall (1 reaction which you take when ''you or a creature within 60 feet of you falls''). No requirement of a 'creature you can see' even. Would you allow a Wizard in your game, to cast Feather fall on a Hidden, magically Silenced and Invisible rogue, who stumbles over a...

Look if a 'Battlemaster Fighter' is your idea of 'probably a class that focuses on the Social pillar' then we're playing a different game.

Neither does the Fighter. An attack Stat of 20, and one of the 'Big three' feats (GWM, Sharpshooter or PAM) and you've got all the Combat oomph you need on a Fighter. There is plenty of room outside of that to nab whatever abilities not tied to 'hitting things with a big stick' you want beyond...

Wouldnt that spellcaster be better served, casting Tounges on the Fighter? You're missing a key design choice of 5E. Spells no longer 'auto invalidate' other PCs, and are almost always better off being used to buff the guy that is already very good at something, to be better at that thing. For...

Over two years we saw the number jump to the point where more than half of players (playing D&D online) were using feats. D&D: WotC Survey Aims to Shake Up Feats Oh and also: D&D 5E - Does your group use feats? So you're wrong.

So you're saying the trigger for a reaction does not have to be something the creature taking the reaction, needs to be aware of? So I can (for example) take the Readied action to Attack a monster 'If they think about drinking a Pepsi'? And then, if that monster thinks about drinking a Pepsi...

If only Fighters got more feats as a class feature... Oh wait.

He took those two 'skill' maneuvers with Martial Adept (and as an added bonus, grabbed an extra Sup Dice while he was at it for Precise strike). Bahahahahahaha! A 13th level PC with +16.5 bonus to Persuasion, and a +13.5 bonus to Insight, and has an always on 'Gain access to the King and...

There IS some cherry picking, because you can easily design/ build a fighter to be a good Face (for example) and to dominate both the Combat and Social pillars if that's what you want. The fact that you can dump all your ASI and class features into hitting and damage doesnt mean you have to...

So you're relying on some unspoken designers intent that they meant for this ability to also grant Vecna an adjacent but separate ability to always know when a creature he can see is casting a spell? If I accept that was the designers intent (to give Vecna the ability to know whenever a...

Why cant I normal counterspell when that happens? The tell is the same as it is for Vecna. Unless you know a spell is being cast by a creature, you cant counterspell it, and Vecna cant Dread counter it.s There is no trigger to do so. If you had the ability to know a spell is being cast, even...
