    D&D 5E (2014) How would you make a Jedi in 5e?

    If that's the case I would like to re-recommend using the monk as the base then using the UA/DMG rules to add rapiers, allow martial arts and flurry of blows to be used with light and monk weapons, remove the unarmed strike, and alter the elemental monks spells to be more Jedi-appropriate. If...

    D&D 5E (2014) Holy crap, I had to share this find...

    I've been using http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/f2d5/ for quite a while now with no issues. Even traveled internationally with it as my carry-on and it's still going strong.

    D&D 5E (2014) Making My War Cleric more effective

    Sorry for the necro, but I'm building a hill dwarf war cleric as well and I'm considering going F1 first. That will net me the fighting style for +2 damage with my 1-handed weapon, 2nd wind, and the main reason proficiency in con saves. Other than delaying my Cleric abilities for a level are...

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you make a Jedi in 5e?

    Elemental monk. Proficiency with Rapiers, Allowed to use rapier with unarmed strike and flurry. Change the elemental spells to more Jedi-like equivalents.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does an item to enhance Unarmed Strike exist?

    I'd rather just let monks use monk weapons with their martial arts and flurry. Simpler solution and allows them to use a wide variety of options.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk stuff (longish post)

    Ask if the GM is willing to re-flavor some abilities. Be a monk that follows thor and then use the elemental monk with some re-flavored lightning/thunder powers. Sounds fun on paper.

    D&D 5E (2014) Pact of the Blade / Bladelock, looking for thoughts

    I'd like to see the 5th level extra attack invocation become a feature and add a short rest recharging attack feature similar to the encounter powers of the original hexblade.

    Sage Advice (18 May 2015)

    My only dislike about his interpretations of the rules are with the magic initiate feat. The spirit of the MC rules has it so any caster can use any of their slots for their spells of any class they have. Taking the feat should give you access to that spell through the feat and then you can...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rogue's Cunning action: Double dash, etc.

    How else are the rogues going get to fix the sprinting competition at the local festival? ☺

    D&D 5E (2014) Magic Stone

    I remember reading that the same hand can be used for both somatic and material components.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does the "Friends" cantrip need a fix?

    I'd fix it by removing the automatically hostile part and replacing it with "responds appropriately". There are numerous situations where you could use the spell and the target really would have helped you anyway. Getting influenced by the freinds spell shouldn't be any different than getting...

    D&D 5E (2014) Scimitar

    Story wise and mechanically he was a fighter/ranger and the dual wielding came from his fighter background. Most people just see that he's a ranger now so rangers should dual wield.

    WotC Survey Result: Classes OK, Eberron Needs Work

    As far as the eratta issue goes my biggest contention is that tweets =/= official. Once the push a pdf/web article/book from WotC then I'll take a look at it. Until then the tweets are just suggestions from a couple of guys with more experience with the game than me. They're something to be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dose D&D have room for a diplomat class?

    Can it be done? Yes. Will the player enjoy it? Probably if that's what they chose. Will the group enjoy it? Depends on what the group wants. In a heavy RP group and a game full of intrigue it could fit right in. But it's going to be mostly dead weight in a dungeon. So really it all depends...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dual hand crossbows, poison and hex warlock

    This is one of those letter of the law vs spirit of the law issues that are half the arguments around here. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Enlarge beyond Large

    My 2cp, separate rules for players and everything else is a godsend for DM'ng. I haven't looked to closely at enlarge, but +1d4 is pretty weak for a 2nd level spell.

    WotC Survey Result: Classes OK, Eberron Needs Work

    I wish I hadn't missed this survey. I would have told them that I think the blade pact warlock needs some love. I don't think that it is underpowered, just that there isn't enough incentive to be in melee over ranged. Melee is almost always deadlier than ranged so there should be something...

    Sage Advice: Jeremy Crawford on Ability Checks & What They're Not

    Hence why until there is an official errata I consider all of these articles as suggestions on possible rulings at the table and nothing more.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeons and Dragons and the RPG Stigma

    Turn him into human resources for harassment. It doesn't matter what the subject was. The fact that he was treating you that way is inexcusable.

    D&D 5E (2014) Limiting cantrips - advice needed

    I'll toss in a helpful idea. Give all of the casters cantrip slots equal to their 1st level spell slots + the primary ability modifier and treat cantrips just like other spells. If you want a more powerful cantrip you have to use a higher level slot. Then give all of the casters an extra...
