If he wants to be a nature ninja he's got to start thinking like a nature ninja. * Is he wearing armor that grants disadvantage to his rolls? I'd hope not, but you never know. * While silence can't always work, distraction usually does. Get creative. * Fog Cloud is a decent stealth assistant...

Janice approaches the fallen student and bends down on one knee. "You okay, kid?" she asks with genuine concern. "We should get you to the nurses' station, get you checked out. If you need help walking, I can assist you." Looking up at Juno, she says matter-of-factly, "Hell of a first day...

All these food puns make me sick to my stomach. >_<

No, I doubt I will take Grappler. I should also note that I'm receiving Tavern Brawler at level 1, as our DM has opted that everyone gets a 1st level feat (and therefore Humans get two). I should also note that the DM is using the "slow recovery time" alt rules, meaning I can only shift twice...

Daggers are virtually identical to darts and are also simple weapons. Issue resolved? :)

PREAMBLE: I realize this is not optimal; I am building for fun over utility. I am soon playing a Half-Drow Sea Druid. Sailor background, grew up on ships and the like. I plan on playing her as the Team Mom. As such, she often got into, well, brawls with her fellow crewmates at taverns...

I always recommend Bard to anyone who says "I don't know what to play." Thematically, a Paladin and a tough War/Storm/Life Cleric (the ones who can wear Heavy armor) would fit super-well together as a "buddy cop" duo. The two classes are sort of yin and yang; while the Paladin focuses more on...

According to the PHB, you can prepare spells up to your Int mod + your level. 18 INT = +4 Mod, +4 for level 4 = 8 spells total. You may choose those 8 from any of your 1st and 2nd level spells. Think of it like a lending library; you take out 8 books per day, though the rest are still at the...

I'm guessing 5e won. Wizards surrendered 4e. Paizo took the war to someone else's table. :3

The city-building system is in Ultimate Campaign, sure, which is why I said to use it in place of the one in the actual Adventure Path. But also, it's an _Adventure Path_ - you may not be aware of all of the dungeons/stuff he has to explore to get resources before these issues ever become a...

You can never have too many Healing powers. Just sayin'. :)

Still cracks me up. A Hybrid Vampire is by far and away better than the class on its own. Also the challenge of how many time you can have the word 'Vampire' or Vampire-related words in your build.

For the record, Pathfinder saw this oversight and included the deity's favored weapon in their Cleric weapon proficiencies. It'd be a dirt simple house rule to implement.

For party stealth checks, so long as at least half of the party passes, everyone passes. Leave Stealth to the people who are designed to do it. Or, take @MwaO 's suggestion. It's a good one. By being proficient in Ki focuses, anything you wield effectively becomes a magic weapon/focus. It...

Run Kingmaker from Pathfinder. Mod it to 5e. Profit. Kingmaker is a hexcrawl/exploration/kingdom-building pre-generated Campaign Path that is large enough that you can also drop anything you please within its "walls". At its outset, the player(s) are told "Go south, map the wilds, and you...

Two rogues, cleric, sorcerer? Might as well ValorBard (or Dwarf Lore Bard, since one dwarf type gets Med armor and some decent weapon proficiencies for free).

The Mastermind Archetype is found in the Sword Coast Adventures Guide. You could also make a high-Charisma Fighter and do nearly the same thing with his Superiority dice, provided you took the right class... uh... abilities. 5e's "math" is a lot tighter than 3.x - buffs are nice but just...

Bring back BraveStarr!

Mountain Dwarf for medium armor. Con as high as you can muster and it becomes your stat priority. Dex at 14 (Max Dex bonus in Med armor is +2). I think bid has it right: 16 14 16 8 12 10 Tough feat at level 4, maybe? Assuming max HP, you'd be at [d8+3]*4 + 8 = 52 HP (vs. 52 of a Fighter's HP...

Or he can shift into a dog with sun bolts in his mouth, and when he barks he shoots sun bolts at you? If you can pull this off with a Warforged, you win D&D.
