It depends on how the recharge is supposed to work. A lot of items like 5e wands are made to have a limited number of uses per adventuring day to represent that they have some power that can be used up and recharges fairly rapidly without any special materials. For those items, tying them...

I don't really like fighter/wizard multiclass, because you're trading 2 levels of spellcasting ability for action surge and better armor (you're a wizard, you don't need physical weapons). Waiting an extra 2 levels to get each cool new spell, and having fewer slots overall is pretty brutal. One...

Ugh, I thought signature spell did make it an at-will. Yeah, if I was making a level 20 wizard I'd look at the entry, then decide to multiclass lol.

Yeah, starting a wizard from level 1 as a cleric/wizard is a good combo since it gives you guidance, armor, and basic healing. But if I was running a game starting at level 20 I think I would just take an abjurer with counterspell as a signature spell and make enemy casters weep.

The comment that I responded to originally directly contradicts what you said here; rather than saying "as experienced players, we know that isn't the case. Nobody has done anything wrong" it explicitly and clearly stated that we 'know' that is the case and that the other player had done...

Clearly, you haven't played Traveller before; it's famous for the chance that your character can die before you actually start a game.

If a player decides that he's the only one who gets to have a certain ability, and gets upset that other players are 'stepping on your toes' if they take similar abilities, then they are in practice trying to make a rule for the table. They generally won't come out and say that they want to make...

And I was pointing out that the actual problem is with the controlling, manipulative player who's bad at the game and attempting to set rules for what other players are allowed to play. The idea of pandering to a player who decided that he gets to impose rules on other players is just extremely...

I would say that if a player is going to whine because another player does something like one of their abilities, then they're not someone I want at the table. The Bard's setup is still inferior (bard can only do hex once per day, while warlock can do it once per short rest, which means hex is...

I don't what the problem is. If a fighter carries a bow in addition to his melee weapons like most sensible fighters do, is he now "stepping on the ranger's toes" because he's got the same type of attack, but doesn't do it as well? Is the bard doing something sort of like what the warlock does...

I don't believe that such a thing exists in 5e; forum angst over combos involves being them being able to score high numbers in white room example fights that won't work out in reality or only rarely occur. I have yet to see an actual example where a player put together a 5e character using the...

Sure, but you didn't say "this was not only not an actual boss fight, but was in fact a random encounter that the PCs didn't need to do anything but bypass, so doesn't really fit this thread, and the use of spells or abilities to bypass this particular encounter is really pretty expected and not...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a resource a detailed description of a city that serves as a hub for cross-planar travel, the kind of place where mages have set up semi-permanent gates to other planes, and various travelers and traders pass through on their way between worlds? Something...

Would something that they don't need to kill and can just bypass without worrying about it later really qualify as a "Boss encounter" that turned into a cakewalk in the first place? I mean, if your 7th level party can afford riding horses, they can all outrun a remorhaz without casting a spell...

"Seize Her!" - Slaad And now I'm hungry for some reason...

So they go do stuff for an hour, then have to fight it again with fewer spell slots?

No. Because there isn't the context of several centuries of outright slavery, insitutionalized racism including both state and private violence, grossly negative stereotypes used to justify said racism, and huge volumes of popular entertainment reinforcing and celebrating those stereotypes. This...

From some people's perspective, if you deal with actual facts then they get 'offended' or 'annoyed' and consider you a giant butt - for example, responding to a person who claimed that it was impossible for anyone to use the term THAC0 before 1989 by citing that the term was used in...

I think for the player to make a decent decision, you'd need to define the groups a lot better. It's not even clear to me if these groups are considered overlapping or disjoint. If they're disjoint, then some of the lines seem really arbitrary (do country gentry count as 'nobles' or 'rural...

I thought that way when I first encountered the system, and suddenly couldn't see a bunch of posts on a thread I had started, but then I realized that if someone is unpleasant/insecure/foolish enough to block me, I don't gain anything by talking to them or threads they started. If I'm interested...
