If you want to keep some mystery to your rolls, this is how the order of operations should go: 1) You roll the dice, and call out the dice roll sans any modifiers (aka the unmodified dice roll itself). If there is a player with the lucky feat, call out both dice rolls. 2) Player decides whether...

Max fall damage is 20d6 - or was there something in the build that only dealt 10d6 and I missed seeing it?

Regarding the "Grizzlyman" Build Since this thread has been recently necro'ed, I have found numerous problems with this build, that I would like to correct. Multi-classing requires a minimum of 13 Strength and 13 Wisdom for this build. While debatable, it is a fair interpretation that...

Given the fact that most of us haven't even played one Tier 4 yet (since outside of Window to the Past the other two you mention haven't been released for general play yet)....... I think you are being more than a little premature.

The ALPG allows players to sell gear for half its listed value. PCs can purchase/sell gear before the start of an adventure, or between chapters/episodes of a hardcover adventure. The admins have clarified that this rule allows PCs to sell gear even before the start of their first adventure. I...

By RAW, you can only conjure one object. A feathered hat might be handwaived as a single object (but even that might not be allowed by some DMs), but a bag of ball bearings or an entire tool kit can't. You could conjure the pouch, or a single ball bearing. Likewise, conjuring an entire toolkit...

Well, first - the Healing Potion requires an unspecified action in the PHB (it is not labeled as a use object action): In all fairness, this is the same unspecified action as using a flask of oil, alchemists fire, or holy water, so arguments could be made that it is the same action, except for...

Now in respect to your build specifically - it really depends on what you are going for. I myself would love to cheese every option of the fast hands ability I can; options are always better, and being able to throw out d6+level+4 HPs once/character/short rest as a bonus action is amazing. You...

Every person's different. I too don't care much about the stats myself.... but there is a sizable portion of the game community that believes that hitting 20 in your prime stat should be your first objective - even before character-defining feats, or feats which have diminishing returns in the...

Major downside with this build is that you won't see a feat/ASI until 6th level at earliest (Rogue 4/Wiz 2), or if you prioritize wizard, 7th level (Rogue 3/Wizard 4). While delaying feats/ASIs in the later game is less of an issue, the one gained at 4th level should only be delayed for as long...

Um... nobody can force you to don a shield outside of domination, suggestion or similar magic as it requires an action from YOU. While you can assist someone to don armor, there is nothing in the rules that states you can force someone to don a shield. In fact, based on the way the rules are...

This will be my new primary character for AL as my current main character is transitioning to tier 4 and will see infrequent play. I expect to play this character for the next 1-2 years+ with goals of reaching 20th level as tier 4 adventures slowly become available (two will be released this...

Once I have the number-crunching out of the way, I plan on writing a guide for this build, and a comparison between it and both a pure EK, and a hybrid EK/Wizard.

Are there any number-crunchers following this thread who could do the DPR calculations for me, or failing that - at least provide me the formula(s). I am more than willing to do the math myself, I just don't know how to calculate the formula and as such, would have to calculate things the hard way.

It isn't 14HPs every time you cast shield (if it was, I would take INT more seriously in the build).... Its 14HPs the first time you cast an abjuration spell each day, and a recharge of 2HP/spell level for each additional abjuration spell thereafter. It is for this reason that I am basically...

I didn't list my stats because I am not 100% certain whether to prioritize STR or INT. I was waiting to see what the DPR comparison between the combat options would be before deciding (as the math of the DPR comparisons are unaffected by stats, as an increase in STR would affect each of the...

I chose warcaster for several reasons. Firstly, advantage on concentration + proficiency in constitution saves means that Haste will almost never drop (save being stunned, or incapacitated in some fashion). Second, shield requires VS meaning that I would need to hold my weapon in 1H if I want to...

Hi all, I need some help from the math-geeks among us in order to determine which of the following choices is the most optimal path for my upcoming D&D Adventurers League character. At its core, the character will fight with a greatsword + haste, and so in many respects will be similar to the...

TBH, I prefer the Kensei/Sohei homebrew I created in 2014 (and later ported to EnWorld in 2015).

One thing that people seem to have overlooked is that immediately following the Exception regarding Random Magic items, is another exception detailing Adventure specific Amendments (such as the SKT FAQ) The above quote means that while you cannot normally award random magic items, if an...
