    D&D 5E (2014) Ultimate Sorlock (Coffeelock) villain! How to defeat him? Is It possible? A party vs one

    If he only had 3 levels of Warlock, he couldn't have 3rd level pact magic, that takes 5th level. Remember, full casters get a new level of spell slot every odd level (upto 17).

    D&D 5E (2014) Ultimate Sorlock (Coffeelock) villain! How to defeat him? Is It possible? A party vs one

    So, we already know your DM is not following player character building rules, because this character is 20th level (because the spellcasting feature says so), with 17 levels of sorcerer (because count the sorcery points), and with 5 levels in warlock (because 3rd level pact magic spell slots)...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ultimate Sorlock (Coffeelock) villain! How to defeat him? Is It possible? A party vs one

    I tried checking out the build you linked, but it says... "I'm afraid I can't let you do that... You don't have permission to view this sheet" Also, what are the character creation rules for this team? Level would be a good place to start. A team of 6 I assume? One more thing, you misspelled...

    D&D 5E (2014) Treantmonk's Guide to Everything Xanathar

    I mean, isn't the point of being a necromancer to have your minions take the hits for you so that you DO have hp left over. Furthermore, my point isn't that you should depend on having spell slots left over so much as this is nice to have in the off chance you have slots left over. I'm not...

    D&D 5E (2014) XGTE Errata

    Assuming you take a race with a racial +2 to Str, rolling a 16 will result in a total of 18. Anydice tells me that the odds of rolling a 16, 17, or 18 from 4d6 keep 3 is 13.04%, thus the odds of rolling at least one 16+ in your six ability scores is about 56.76%. Hardly impossible, but I would...

    D&D 5E (2014) XGTE Errata

    Am I missing something? Most level 20 characters have at least a bit more than 75 hp, wouldn't they? I mean, Wizards have the smallest hit dice at d6, and let's assume they have about a +2 in Con because concentration is a thing. That's 6 + (4 * 19) + (2 * 20) = 122 hp. Don't get me wrong, 75 hp...

    D&D 5E (2014) Treantmonk's Guide to Everything Xanathar

    Big fan of your wizard guide so this was fun to read too. Just a couple of thoughts... Firstly, I notice you seem to consider targeting Str saves to be a sizable flaw. While it's true that enemies with good Str are common, I feel like having spells that target it is not so bad, because it is...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Defeat this Coffelock Villain?

    I'm not sure that's true, it sounds like he has an invocation that makes him not need sleep.

    D&D 5E (2014) How Defeat this Coffelock Villain?

    Close, total party kill. This situation is gonna require some sort of exploit of your own to overcome, and I don't have one, but I will say that if you have Dispel Magic (one of your wizards is an Abjurer after all) you could potentially get rid of Freedom of Movement, Death Ward, and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does the caster know if a spell target makes their save?

    I do kinda like the interpretation where you don't know if enchantment spells take hold, because it opens the possibility of acting like you are under the caster's control, which sounds like it could be fun when it favors the players.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does the caster know if a spell target makes their save?

    As I said, I would not rule as such, but I believe it could be argued that the target making their save does not end the spell, it just causes the spell not to do anything. As such, there is still a spell to concentrate on, it is just not a spell of any use. Since the spell would be useless at...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does the caster know if a spell target makes their save?

    My apologies if my post was worded unintuitively, it was just the first way it came to mind. With regards to your first question, no, I am saying some DMs may rule that you have to decide whether or not you are concentrating even if you do not know if your spell has taken root; I would not rule...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does the caster know if a spell target makes their save?

    With regards to the concentration factor that people have been discussing, I ask this: does concentration happen automatically if your target(s) fail their save, or does it go more like this? Player: "I cast suggestion and suggest 'This fight is pointless. Leave now.' Make a will save." DM...

    D&D 5E (2014) Disintegrate + Glyph of Warding + Demiplane. HELP WITH POWER GAMER

    The spell states "Each time you cast this spell, you can create a new demiplane, or have the shadowy door connect to a demiplane you created with a previous casting of this spell."

    D&D 5E (2014) Why did they design Demiplane to suck?

    My favorite flaw in Demiplane is that it can only make doors to demiplanes. If you linger in your demiplane too long, the door disappears. You can cast Demiplane again to make another door, but that door leads to another demiplane. If you don't also have Plane Shift, you're trapped forever. Of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Disintegrate + Glyph of Warding + Demiplane. HELP WITH POWER GAMER

    If you give things good Cha saves or Legendary Resistance, then he cannot Plane Shift them in. Plus, as others have said, Glyph of Warding has a component of 200gp worth of diamond dust. Firstly, that's very expensive to disintegrate one enemy. Secondly, even if they have enough gold, who are...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5th edition force cage spell

    I'm happy to hear about the conclusion you've come to regard the balance of the spell, but if I may offer one piece of advice: Don't give all your creatures anti-force cage measures. Yeah, make sure your big bad has some way around it, but keep in mind it is a high level spell with a really...
