    D&D 5E (2014) Out of the Abyss: dividing XP with fellow prisoners?

    In the beggining of the adventure I divided the XP when the NPCs have great part in the combat, like all they agaist one elite drow (1800xp) + 2 drow. But I never leved them up, because none of them is really important in my table to go the full adventure. The combatent ones all died, the rest...

    D&D 5E (2014) Highest Possible 5E AC

    no magic item I think would be bladesinger 18, fighter 1 barbarian 1 shapechanger into planetar Unarmored defense + bladesong will be AC 27 mariner fighting style AC 28 dual wielder AC 29 if DM let keep the warforged feature in the new form, AC 30 shield spell every turn with spell mastery AC 35...

    D&D 5E (2014) Selecting the Simplest Sorcerer Solution

    I would like that the cost to convert spellslots in sorcerer point was the same of SP in spell slots. But ok, I can understand. Auto get the distant, extended and subtle spell would be a nice adding. No one choose those because they are very situations, this could add some options with the same...

    D&D 5E (2014) Volos Guide Seems Good But......

    my first thought looking at ToB was "yep, 400 monsters but just 2% I would use in my campaing". I'll check again later.

    Optimizing Volo PC races

    You need to choose unarmored defense OR natural armor. All about that is a DM option, but even with a good DM, the lizardfolk will not add +3 to AC, you'll need to choose between the lizardfolk natural armor OR the beast one. So, if you change to a brown bear your AC will be 13 (13 + 0 dex)...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best spells for a Heavy Warrior/Sorcerer character?

    in fact, if you go deep 1 lvl of warlock, better go for 2. Quick eldritch blast with hex is a better choice than scorching ray. At lvl 17, quick EB will give 8d10 +8d6 +40 (112 avarage) and push the target 80 feet alway for the cost of 1 lvl 1 spell slot and 2 SP, a lvl 9 scorching ray will give...

    D&D 5E (2014) Xtra Attack+Eldritch Blast(DM approved)ideals?

    So, let me understand, fighter 11 is because each attack will be an eldritch blast, right? This is absurdly broken, but ok. EK 11/ warlock 2/ Sorc 7 (or 12/2/6 if you need extra ASI/feat) EK gives you more spell slots and eldritch strike, that one doesn't work with EB by RAW, but with your...

    D&D 5E (2014) Anyone worked with Colossal/Mythical monsters before?

    well, there was hatori, Leviathan, Zaratan and many others in previous edition. Why not? The limit of gargantuan size always bothered me.

    Weapon damage scaling and multiclassing

    If I would add something, would be just +1d8, only in one attack in your turn. Add +1W will make a great sword/great weapon fighter build better than any other option. If you add this for each attack, things like extra attack, haste, bonus action attacks and opportunity attacks will increase...

    Weapon damage scaling and multiclassing

    Cantrips except eldrich blast, booming blade and gfb aren't really usefull. And you don't need to be full caster to get the last two and you only need 2 lvl deep for the first one. And a 5/5/5/5 spellcaster probably will need Cha + Int or Wis build (with decent Con and Dex). Many double...

    D&D 5E (2014) How long is your average session?

    4 hours, 3h30 of cheap talk and indecisions the rest of rolling dice, make math and take note.

    Weapon damage scaling and multiclassing

    why need to be 5/5? This multiclass rule is balanced as hell, just make a 6/4 and forget all your problems. spellcaster suffer way more with multiclass, more than 3 levels means forget 9th lvl spell slot. A 5/5/5/5 spellcaster is way useless, simply don't make a 5/5/5/5 character.

    Why there won't be a "Player's Handbook II"

    Yeah this is the mind flayer was perfect to me. I'm DMing Oota and want to finish the campaing at lvl 20. So the mind flayer in Volo's combined with Mystic class in UA and demonic influences will provide a good material for that. That rich content really helps DM criativity (at least for that...

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you like, and what do you not like about Volo's Guide to Monsters? (spoilers)

    Yeah I know all of that, but all Wizards campaing I read didn't impossibilitate large creatures to act, there is always an alternative rote, or you can split groups or use reduce spell or reduce potion... there is always an alternative and it is a good penalization for this. In the end, this...

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you like, and what do you not like about Volo's Guide to Monsters? (spoilers)

    O really missed all that unbalancement. There are a plenty of power buildings that I would continually choosing older races. Human variant will keep the throne as primary race. It's possible to specify why Volo's races are so powerfull? Enviado de meu SM-G900MD usando Tapatalk
