I must have this. Kracky the Hooded One... Trebbelos, Boy Magician... Krago of the Mountains... I hope all the crazy named pregens make it to 5e.

First off, you have a few weeks and you don't have to read much material to get ready for your first game. Spend a little time to learn the basics of your character race and class, just a few pages. Then read the rules for d20 ability checks and saves, pp 173-179, and combat and spellcasting, pp...

From the SA Compendium: If you cast a spell, such as healing word, with a bonus action, you can cast another spell with your action, but that other spell must be a cantrip. Keep in mind that this particular limit is specific to spells that use a bonus action. For instance, if you cast a second...

Cantrips are spells. If you cast anything, including a cantrip, with your bonus action, you can't cast anything but cantrips during your turn. For the OP, there is Sage Advice guidance on your question: http://media.wizards.com/2017/dnd/downloads/SA-Compendium.pdf

The Slow Cooker = Hold Person + Wall of Fire I have used this in games. Caster 1 lands the Hold spell. Caster 2 sets up Wall of Fire with an inward facing ring of fire. The victim autofails it's Dex save when the wall goes up, and so long as the Hold lasts, it takes 5d8 fire damage each turn...

It will always help. The Aura gives a bonus to all saves. The bonus is equal to your Cha mod. So at level 7 when the Aura comes online for you, your concentration save will be Con mod + Proficiency Bonus + Cha mod, or 2+3+4=9 (using the stats from my example above). You will auto-save any...

Since you are a caster, I would take Resilient (Con) as your variant human feat. Starting stats: 16/13/13/7/8/16. Con save proficiency is worth the 1 hp/level you give up by starting Con at 14 vs. 16. This way you don't have to worry about being slowed by plate armor. I normally wouldn't...

Have you considered taking a feat instead of a level dip? You won't get everything you might have from the dip, but you might get enough to fulfill your character concept and you won't delay leveling up in fighter to get goodies like Extra Attack. For example, dipping rogue gets you a skill...

Trying to get back on track here for the OP. Anything that let's you get an extra attack, or add extra dice to an attack, at level 1-4 is going to feel pretty powerful, especially if you also have a decent AC as well. - The aforementioned PAM, including the completely AL-legal one-handed...

IMO the Battlemaster's system of superiority dice should be used more extensively throughout 5e. I haven't really thought it through, but replacing Divine Smite with Smite Dice and changing the smite spells to rider effects when the Smite dice are used could give the smite spells more life. I...

Check out the June 5 UA Subclasses release (apparently also in XGtE). One of the features of the Improved Pact Weapon invocation is that Bladelocks can use their pact weapon as their arcane focus. If you go Pact of the Blade at level 3, you can retrain one of your level 2 invocations to take IPW...

Adult/Ancient Chromatic (Evil) Dragon 15 Beholder 5 Lich 9

The question was how the counterspeller would know what spell was being cast. With S and M spells (he he) you would have some other visual cue about what spell was being cast, so even if you couldn't hear the words, they might recognize the M or S component being used. If you are making the...

Adult/Ancient Chromatic (Evil) Dragon 22 Beholder 27 Death Tyrant 3 Dracolich 11 Kraken 0 Lich 26

For spells that only have a V component, I think you should be in a position to hear them in order to know what they are casting.

Adult/Ancient Chromatic (Evil) Dragon 22 Beholder 26 Death Tyrant 11 Dracolich 12 Elder Brain 5 Kraken 11 Lich 26

Adult/Ancient Chromatic (Evil) Dragon 25 Beholder 27 Death Tyrant 17 Dracolich 11 Elder Brain 9 Kraken 14 Lich 28 We should just fast forward to Dragon/Beholder/Lich and vote from that list.

17th level, EK with War Magic for bonus weapon attack when casting a cantrip, which of course is Eldritch Blast because you took levels of Warlock (Hexblade Warrior) for Agonizing Blast and Hex. Your fighting style is Close Quarters Shooter so you are blasting up close without disadvantage and...
