Yeah....resilient for wisdom save proficiency....because there is nothing more terrifying than a dominated caster lobbing fireballs at his friends!

They do get misty step, which is a 30 ft teleport but you probably don't want to use it if you can help it because.... Until level 11 you are limited to two spell slots between rests. That is a fairly serious restriction. On the other hand the slots gain in power such that they are eventually...

setting: Greyhawk classes: psionics sub-classes: more patrons for the warlock, including "vestige" to recreate the binder; more sorcerous origins like undead or elemental; another bard college; more maneuvers for the fighter; a maneuver subclass for the rogue and the monk races...

Ok. I am very likely to pick up these tools so that is a good option/good to hear.

The wild mage is probably my biggest disappointment with 5e. I am not sure why one would play it over the dragon sorcerer. The DM can just decide to never/rarely let you roll for a chance at chaos. And if you do roll there is only a 5% chance that you'll get to the table and a good chunk of the...

I checked the torrent sites out of curiosity the other day. Somebody has already created an illegal poor quality pdf. It is only a matter of time before someone breaks the spine of their book and creates a high-res, color, indexed version with embedded links. So if they are trying to stop piracy...

A druid/oath of ancients paladin/whatever with plant growth would be the local farmers' best friend. The 8 hour version of the spell doubles the agricultural output of all crops in a 1/2 mile radius out for an entire year.

There are dragon-men in the Dark Sun setting that were created by one of the sorcerer kings (who fell and is now (un)dead). In 4e Dark Sun they were modeled with the Dragonborn. So there is another setting that started with dragon people.

Check out hold person/hold monster. Each paralyzes the target if it fails a saving throw. Paralyze not only gives attackrs advantage on their roll but makes every hit an automatic critical hit. That is huge...especially for paladins and rogues since smite and sneak attack dice are also doubled...

If you are willing to spend 3000gp and lose a level (and your DM allows it), you can undergo the ritual to become a Necropolitan (from the book Libris Mortis): http://www.realmshelps.net/monsters/templates/necropolitan.shtml This is, if I recall correctly, the cheapest, "easiest" way to become...

I think people are searching for the best warrior/mage (gish) options in 5e. The EK is a lot more limited in terms of spells and spell progression than the pact blade warlock or the valor bard so those start to look appealing (fireballs, flight and two attack per round by level 6!). But then...

Enchantments used to be divided into charms and compulsions. Command was a compulsion. 5e got rid of that term/subcategory and changed some but not all of the old compulsions into charms so command is in an nebulous "other" enchantment category (not sure how many enchantments there are that...

Someone on this board once suggested: Intelligence: illusions Wisdom: charms Charisma: compulisions I really wish they had done that. I guess one problem is that most enchantments in 5e have been classified as "charm" even if the effect (command, compulsion, dominate person, etc.) isn't...

Ok. That is a perfectly valid house rule but a house rule none-the-less. On topic: Are you taking heavy armor at level 4? Because you can't take it at level 1 if you start with warlock since you won't have heavy armor proficiency yet. Another issue is that you are going to have a weak...

Weird since the confusion spell itself is a wisdom save.

Charisma seems to be the "I refuse to be banished" save...which is a bit odd. There are certainly "charm" effects now that are more like compulsions/domination that seemed like a good fit for charisma saving throws ("spells that try to overcome one's sense of self") but are attached to wisdom.

The fighter with the maneuvers and the monk (restore ki!) would have similar need. The other classes I think benefit but not as much.

The EK gets very few spells known (13) and only 4 of them can be outside of the schools of evocation and abjuration, so I don't think the EK 20 is really going to compare favorably to a fighter/wizard combo or an straight oath of vengeance paladin 20 (which I would gladly take over a...

I think with both the valor bard and pact blade warlock are helped by taking a single level of fighter at first level for heavy armor proficiency/con saves/fighting style. 2 attacks isn't as good as 4 but I wouldn't call it weak at fighting when combined with, for example, hold person, which...

Not only can they do this reliably every time in full armor, but they can do all these things very well not just one. The world record long and high jumpers probably can't also deadlift 600 pounds, swim at 5 mph, and sprint quickly but a fighter with 20 strength can. Also deadlift is to the...
