    D&D 5E (2024) Ranged Builds Thread

    Fair. Hex + Quicken do compete for bonus actions a bit. But then if you have a lot of little targets, Fireball. Swapping to Haste at 13 is a boost, and keeps the bonus action available for Quicken. You can also add a few Seeking metamagic, but that's not scaling very well. Yea, it doesn't...

    D&D 5E (2024) Suggested Wildshape tweak (houserule)

    I think it's fine if the Ice Devil or casting certain spwlls prevents you from changing. Monsters are allowed to have unique features. But it's hardly going to break anything.

    Disagree in this case. The core is Warlock 2 for Hex + Eldritch Blast; makes you a decent ranged attacker no matter what other classes you take. Sorcerer 2 for quicken doubles your damage for a turn, scaling to multiple turns. Though I do realize I made an error. "You can’t have more Sorcery...

    Artificer 2, repeating heavy crossbow Sorcerer 3, web, quicken Devotion paladin 3, archery style Warlock 12, pact of the blade, thirsting blade. Quicken web, or Hypnotic Pattern. 3 heavy crossbow shots with +8 to hit that can push.

    You're right, missed that. Sure, but fly 80', no opportunity attacks, means your not getting caught. Yea, the extra d10 basically makes up for advantage. Highest accuracy would probably be darts Artificer 2, returning weapon Devotion paladin 3, archery style Barbarian 2, advantage Advantage...

    Barbarian's can at level 9. Do dagger (slow 15') + Nick dagger (push 15') + javelin (push 15' and slow 10'). Then dash 80' away (for wolf). You don't have advantage though, so perhaps 3 levels of fighter for precision srike and action surge.

    Barbarian's can throw with advantage. Sharpshooter and javelin is 120'. Or Nick with a dagger for more throws. Beserker for the +2d6 damage or Wild Heart (Wolf) for mobility.

    D&D 5E (2024) Is it possible to balance the six abilities?

    The easiest ability system to balance is 0 ability scores. Everyone seems to start with a +3 anyways, so it's not doing much besides grouping skills.

    D&D General A D&D Swashbuckler Class

    I don't see anyone arguing that. In fact, everyone seems to be in unusual agreement. Dex +Cha, mostly melee, acrobatics, charm, kind of monk-ish thing.

    D&D General A D&D Swashbuckler Class

    That was 1300's. Swashbuckler came from later 1500's, when buckler was a proper shield. Still small and used to punch though, but no longer part of a belt. Specifically It was someone who made a lot of noise by hitting (swash) their sword and shield together, for Intimidation and...

    D&D General A D&D Swashbuckler Class

    Just going to point out that Buckler is litterally in their name. Because the original ones used Bucklers. They removed them for the movies because it was harder to see the actors face (part of shields making it harder to stab their face).

    D&D General A D&D Swashbuckler Class

    Sword and buckler, with bonus action Charisma saving throws that can do various things, like taunt, fear, daring, boosting allies. Also, you can't use the same one two turns in a row. I.e Swashbuckler's Savy When you hit a creature with a melee attack from a finess weapon, you can use a bonus...

    D&D 5E (2024) How would you built FF7 characters in D&D?

    How would you built FF7 characters in D&D? Is Cloud a fighter? Barrett a Warlock with Eldritch Blast? Red as a moon druid, or beast barbarian?

    D&D 5E (2024) How do we feel about the new spells

    I double checked my book, and it doesn't say anything about melee. So looks like that's a DnD beyond issue.
