    D&D 5E (2014) Dual classing; solution to multiclassing?

    1e was dual classing and it sucked compared to 5e's more elganet multi classing. I wil pass on dual class and I prefer the hard choices of multiclassing give up something to get something in 5e (few exceptions) there is a trade off for Multiclassing and I liek that from spells to core abilities

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk Weapon

    Technically Monks can wear armor now if they are procient but they lose being able to use dex as their unarmed strike etc Plus with the upcoming Kensei then yes then a monk will be able to use warhammer as a monk weapon since it is verstile but not a maul; look at the revised UA it will most...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk Weapon

    Please this is not rocket science math it is pretty straight forward if we do a 1000 swings the total damage would be more period end of story but we do not hit the same monster a 1000 times each monster has a finite # of HP so the net effect is smaller because the total # of swings is smaller...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk Weapon

    Already tested the Kensai the revised one and that slight bump in damage was irrelevant compared to the normal monk it had no effect on the outcome of fights see 15% looks big but it impact on monster going down faster it had zero effect. Once again it had no bearing on the outcome of fights the...

    Why it is all about to change in Nov and he still can not use a shield and he gains nothing trying to twf as a monk.

    If it is anything close to the last revision then yes they can only make by level 6 three weapons they use be counted as magical; 1 main weapon 1 ranged and a 3rd one may get another one later do not remember. They also dropped heavy weapons in the revision so 1h and versatile weapons and ranged...

    D&D 5E (2014) Expanded Fighter

    While I really like 5e overall I miss parts of the large weapon table in 1e (not all of it that thing could be unruly); I miss that the fighters got access to more weapons they were trained on that they got more access by levels instead of all basic weapons and all martial weapon access. That...
