    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock, Pact of the Blade, Melee

    This right here is what it's all about. A Blade Pact Warlock doesn't have to be a front line combatant all day, every day. (Or any day at all.) They're much more versatile than that, which is the best thing about them.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do You Want Another Warlord Poll?

    This poll is kinda pointless. Seriously, we've had enough Warlord related polls, and I'm not sure if they've established anything. Maybe we should move on....

    D&D 5E (2014) Tremorsense

    Does "peacefully asleep" not include snoring really loud? Tremorsense might notice that. Then again, so would anyone with decent hearing....

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Jester

    We've got the Entertainer background already. Playing a "Jester" is just a matter of choosing an appropriate class to go with it. Bard would be an obvious choice. Rogue might work (any except Assassin), as would a Trickery Cleric, maybe a Fey pact Warlock (?) or a Favored Soul (Trickery domain...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock, Pact of the Blade, Melee

    Resilient (CON) might be a better deal in the long run. But if you're serious about CON saves, go ahead and get both.

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warden?

    I'm going to add my vote for the Oath of the Ancients Paladin as 5E's natural successor to the Warden. (See what I did there?) Also, IMHO, there's no such thing as a racist food; that's just silly. I'm partial to whole wheat spaghetti with bison meat sauce.

    D&D 5E (2014) How do I eldritch knight?

    On the internet, you can verb anything.

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock, Pact of the Blade, Melee

    Darkness and Blink work rather well together (or at least they have a 50% chance of working well together each round) if you're a Fey pact BladeLock. I use this combo by casting Darkness on my Pact Blade, then casting Blink on myself. When I blink out at the end of my turn, the darkness field...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is stoneskin underpowered?

    I think it's not underpowered so much as overpriced. If the material components cost weren't so prohibitive I wouldn't mind using it once in a while. Then again, there aren't a lot of other things to blow my loot on in this edition.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ranger fight: PHB vs. UA

    My pet theory (which I have no way to test) is that this is exactly the reaction WOTC was going for. Note that prior to the release of the new UA Ranger, the PHB Ranger was a source of complaints, but now it's winning this poll by a 4 to 1 margin.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ranger fight: PHB vs. UA

    And now I wanna play a Ranger in your campaign. LOL

    D&D 5E (2014) Would "ranger" have been better as a background?

    Don't you be messin' with my Warlock! :rant:

    D&D 5E (2014) Ranger fight: PHB vs. UA

    PHB Ranger. Because the latest UA version is half-baked over-powered munchkin-bait. (Also, I like hyphenated put-downs.) I would have liked to see the previous variant Ranger from UA on this poll. That one was interesting too.

    D&D 5E (2014) My favorite race- what I play, what I want to see

    For some reason I find Tieflings fascinating. Maybe I'm attracted to silver tongued devils. The horns and tails don't hurt, either. And I kinda like their eyes, too. Also, they're wicked good spontaneous casters of any type; bard, sorcerer, warlock, whatever.

    D&D 5E (2014) How fast do you play D&D?

    We meet every two weeks, and have been doing so for not quite a year now, with a few missed sessions due to scheduling conflicts. Our games usually last for 4-5 hours. In that time we've gone from 4th to 10th level. (I joined the game in progress, they let me start at the same level as everyone...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why do you play 5e? What game did you come from?

    I've played pretty much every edition of D&D going back to the 70's. Prior to the release of 5E my local gaming group was playing Pathfinder because we live in a "Pathfinder town" so to speak; that's what everyone plays around here. My GF and were getting burned out on PF, actually -- it's over...

    D&D 5E (2014) The paladin conundrum

    Metal armor/weapons are supposed to be rare in the Dark Sun setting. (Unless that's changed; it's been a while since I looked at it.) Scarcity of good armor and weapons should be a limiting factor for the Paladin to begin with -- no rust monster needed. The paladin relies on Heavy Armor and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sanctuary useless?

    Well yes, if you're playing a villain that would be exactly the thing to do. LOL

    D&D 5E (2014) Dealing with a trouble player and a major blow up

    It's true, you do catch more flies with honey than vinegar. But if you pull their wings off, they'll take whatever you feed 'em....
