    D&D 5E (2024) Using general Feats when your ability is already 20

    true, but how do you do all AC? do you count frequency of every AC value vs every other. do you fight zombies or soldiers in plate+shield +1 attack will carry a lot vs AC20, not so much vs AC7 if it's against AC 20, then you go from 30% to 35% hit rate, that is about 28% more damage and who...

    D&D 5E (2024) Using general Feats when your ability is already 20

    sure, that works, but using 60% expected hit rate as average is easier to work with. dueling actually lessens the difference as base damage is higher so +1 damage is less noticing.

    D&D 5E (2024) Using general Feats when your ability is already 20

    what did you add to attacks and what hit rate did you use as basic. with longsword: 1d8+4+2, 55% hit vs 1d8+5+2, 60% hit it's +18,75% damage with greatsword 2d6+4, 55% hit 2d6+5, 60% hit +18% damage

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    sure you could, if it's added to the game: IE: proficiency in Animal handling: Tiny animal: 2+2×level HPs 1d4+1 damage +various abilities depending on type expertise in Animal handling: Small animal 4+4×level HPs 1d6+3 damage +various abilities depending on type

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    5E could really use 2/3rd caster types. honestly, only wizards and clerics should be full casters. druids, bards, warlocks, artificers, sorcerers are all good candidates for 2/3 casters. add features to compensate slower spell progression. agree, especially like the ACF where you can get rid...

    D&D 5E (2024) Using general Feats when your ability is already 20

    -off topic a bit, but; this is why I hate the design of this item. my HR: belt gives str of 16 or +2(max 22), whatever is higher stronger belts are; STR of 18 or +4(max 24) STR of 20 or +6(max 26) this way, belt is still very useful to wizards or others that have default 8 STR(in 99% of the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Using general Feats when your ability is already 20

    difference between 18 and 20, as mentioned is give or take 20%. will it matter in a single encounter? probably not, to few d20s are rolled to make a difference. will it matter in 100 combats over a part of campaign? absolutely math is math and numbers speak. if you want just do a number...

    but I do notice it. every time I miss by 1 or a monster is at 1 HP after a strike.

    D&D 5E (2024) Using general Feats when your ability is already 20

    around 10 attacks per combat, 3-4 combats per day, 5-10 of those days per level, it adds up

    I would try to utilize booming blade in combination with dissonant whispers.

    D&D 5E (2024) Using general Feats when your ability is already 20

    Well, if it's your main attack stat, the difference is between 15 and 25% in damage output. depending on your base damaage and target AC. this is true. one of the biggest fail of 5E is to tie ASI and feats together. they should be in separate resource pool or even better, no ASI's after 1st...

    D&D 5E (2024) Using general Feats when your ability is already 20

    anyone with a half a brain will see that option B is better than option A if you make any kind of attack rolls. And option C is a sure choice in any combination there is. as fore more tame approach, it would really depend on what ability is +2. dex would probably win over +1d6 damage, and even...

    D&D 5E (2024) Using general Feats when your ability is already 20

    any array that you agree on works great. everyone is on a same playing field, there is no metagame planning of your scores to match your feats. we had several choices to take: 20,20,18,16,14,12 20,18,16,14,12,10* 18,16,14,14,12,10 18,16,14,,12,10,8 16,14,12,12,10,8 we decided on no.2, strong...

    D&D 5E (2024) Using general Feats when your ability is already 20

    I've played in a game where we all had starting array of 20,18,16,14,12,10. no bonuses after or from background/species. just taking feats after. works just fine.

    D&D 5E (2024) Psion Class: Green/Yellow/Red?

    this is a good variant. but, I would either: 1. everyone recharges on Short rest, except HP and HDs 2. everyone recharges on Long rest

    D&D 5E (2024) Psion Class: Green/Yellow/Red?

    as long as Short rest is 1 min long and not 1hr long. as in, you can be ready for your next encounter, just you cannot use Short rest during encounter.

    D&D 5E (2024) Psion Class: Green/Yellow/Red?

    it's not a bad class, in fact, mechanically, I thing it's a good class, but it is just "Nothing new" class. just another full caster. we have 5 of them already.

    D&D 5E (2024) Hunter's Mark, Hex, and the illusive balance

    this. or just give ranger that amount of extra 1st level spell slots that can be spent on ONLY RANGER spells. with extra 1st level spell preparation. there is a few 1st level ranger spells that I would not mind to use few times extra per day.
