Huh? He took Precise strike with that. He took the other two with Martial Adept.

And the video is a comprehensive limit on how Vecna must fight all opponents is it? The girl in the Video is at great pains to point out that 'Vecna is a cunning fighter, and will use sneaky tactics, target spellcasters, use range if its to his advantage etc'. The clear inference from the...

And the above is fine. Your reaction is triggered by the attack (the percievable trigger) and goes after the attack is resolved. I'd give you a broad natural language interpretation of your trigger of 'attack' including moving to attack (like if there was an Orc, 30 feet away, and it moved...

Where is that specified? You're trying to infer that the ability somehow grants him the ability to -unerringly know- when a creature is casting a spell. I dont see that inference in his ability at all.

No, it's Not. Literally every single ability it gets is 'buff the party in combat'. It gets a single social ability (Persuasion + expertise). That is NOT a 'socially focused' subclass. Not at all. Question for you. Do you consider the Battlemaster Fighter to be a 'socially focused' subclass?

The above Fighter is getting literally +16.5 to Persuasion checks (and +13.5 to Insight checks), and has an 'in' with local Nobility and Royalty. He hasnt exactly had to work hard (or give up any Fighting ability) to get it either.

Banaret isnt a Socially focused sublcass. It gets Persuasion (and expertise in it), but that's mainly a ribbon. It's other abilities are orientated to fighting and buffing the party in combat (its a Leader type class). If that's where the Bard places their expertise. You can make a Fighter be...

No, he's NOT. He's applying the full damage from 2 x Arcane shot attacks, presuming two hits. While the odds are (presuming Action surge and 8 shots at a 50 percent hit chance or so) are that roughly 4 attacks hit, it's not totally improbable that only 1 attack hits, or no attacks hit. Unless...

No, he's not. Vecna is an Int 24 Archlich, with access to scrying, a millenia of experience fighting PCs, and time to prepare. He's not going to let a bunch of (Epic) 20th level PC Fighters (whose names and deeds are known to everyone in the Kingdom, and likely many across the Multiverse) just...

No, I dont agree it implies anything of the sort. I agree a DM could rule that it does, but the ability as written doesnt imply anything of the sort. If a creature is written having the ability to use a reaction in response to 'a creature it can see doing X' the creature must be able to know...

That's wrong, because what if you miss with all 8 shots, or only hit once?

If I were to run the encounter for High Level PCs, Id certainly have Kas with Vecna (this is pre Vecna's hand being cut off remember). A Vampire Oathbreaker Paladin type, with Warding Bond cast on Vecna, and wielding (a lesser version) of his Sword.

I have zero issue with a DM fluffing Vecna as having some kind of unwritten ability to -know- when someone he can see is casting a spell (even when there is no indication the creature is casting a spell, on account of there being no components involved and the caster simply having to think about...

No it's not. With 2 extra feats/ ASI and several Maneuvers (now available to all Fighters via Superior Technique) buffing skill use, there is literally nothing stopping a Fighter being top tier in Social and Exploration aside from the player making different choices (which is also fine). Lets...

No, I even provided some examples of how he could know (Detect Magic, or Read Thoughts). Go back and read.

No, Im not. Its the rule for ALL reactions taken from the PHB. The trigger for your reaction, must be a perceivable circumstance. Someone else thinking something doesnt qualify as a trigger. You need to know the trigger is happening to take your reaction. It's like if your reaction trigger is...

Depends where Vecna teleports to. Can we not assume he's Scryed the PCs and has some knowledge of their capabilities?

Ah yes. I missed that.

Vecna can teleport in an AMF just fine anyway. The ability is not magical, and is not affected by an AMF.

I had an Idea for a Vengeance Paladin/ Frenzy Barbarian called Jules who goes around saying 'And I will strike you down with great vengeance and furrrrious anger...'
