To me it sounds like you want to play an Eldritch Knight (as many have mentioned). I would also consider a paladin either with magic initiate for Booming blade and/or GFB or with a level or two of Warlock (because nice invocations and I like the idea of using Eldritch Blast if the targets are...

I would find that the point of storied weapons becoming magical is that they do not follow normal rules. It sounds awesome and I want my characters to get them (both finding and causing them to exist). However, they should never follow a certain formula if they exist primarily as a result of...

I agree. Maybe "accept" was the wrong word. It was more me going "huh? Those features are strange on a barbarian" and then a couple of seconds later going "ah, right! Barbarian as defender. Well, that makes sense then." I still sort of view barbarians as animals with winter fur in spring...

I prefer the idea of greatsword. However, if I play a Paladin it is likely that everything except looking awesome is much better served by high AC and a longsword. Maybe war hammer or battleaxe for certain characters (e.g. a dwarf). Sent from my Nexus 6 using EN World mobile app

I really like the current UA. For those I care about they are great improvements and seem promising even for material I thought beyond hope. After seeing this I guess they might even make a warlord I like at some point (e.g. as an UA at some point after the next book with crunch is published)...

Hiding mid-combat as a bonus action to get advantage and sneak attack is a reasonable strategy for rogues. That should have nothing to do with surprise. If it happens all the time and they stay behind the same pillar it makes sense to have an enemy come looking, possibly breaking the out of...

I was thinking more along the lines of games where multiclassing is forbidden and a Dwarf player want to MC ranger would greatly increase the value of the feat.

I would think it has more to do with e.g. Dwarf Grudge. It almost gives favoured enemy from Ranger to the Dwarf. That feat might vary in value depending on whether multiclassing is allowed or not.

I like how the feats bring back things I miss from 4e racial features and racial feats. What I like even better are the narrative related feats such as the tiefling ones. Not sure what I think about racial multiclass lite such as Dwarven grudge. A feat with that name and story is great and a...

For me Gothic horror or whatever genre CoS is would be a deal breaker in D&D. So at least warn them about the change of genre before. Sent from my Nexus 6 using EN World mobile app

My group have used 3 published adventures as far as I can recall: the 4e DMG one (while playing 4e) with kobolds, LMoP (with me as DM) and now we are level 6 in SKT. In my opinion SKT itself does a great job of spicing up the goblins. They are whacky as they should, they are nasty as they...

Anything that prevents shapeshanging in general prevents it for a vampire and thus destroys it. Moonbeam prevents shapeshanging. Thus it can destroy a vampire. Moonbeam also reveals doppelgangers, succubi and lycanthropes. Vampires have two additional effects that prevents it from changing...

Talk to your DM outside the game. If you as a player would have problems with the cube betraying the party, make sure the DM know this. If your character doesn't trust the cube but you and everyone else have fun on a "metagaming" level it sound like it could be fun to play up. However, it does...

For some strange reason this reply did not show up in my notifications, hence a late reply: A 5 foot square and a 1.5 m square are indeed close enough to identical in real life. The point I wanted to make was that while I can relate to 1.5 m, the only context I have for 5 feet is D&D combat. The...

I'll start the computer for that. Without your reply I wouldn't even know it included a poll... Sent from my Nexus 6 using EN World mobile app Edit: So, now I've started the PC and voted.

There are also some rules related to grappling. Sent from my Nexus 6 using EN World mobile app

Roll20 all the way nowadays. For a while I started by using the form-fillable pdfs. Sent from my Nexus 6 using EN World mobile app
