The way I have looked at it (and the way my players have looked at it) is we are playing dungeons and dragons and they are adventurers. This isn't blacksmiths and horseshoes and the game is about adventuring, not building and crafting. The backgrounds do add some flavor and maybe if you are...

I think you should tailor your feats to address these deficiencies. 1. For the EK pick up Fey touched, Shadow touched, magic initiate, artificer initiate, eldritch adept taking a spell invocation and metamagic adept. By 14th level That will give you 3 extra cantrips, 7 more known spells, 5...

In 5e Bard is absolutely a full caster. EK and AT are mathematically 1/3rd casters but I can see calling them half casters.

Artificer is an arcane half caster.

I am not saying you claim that he is unseen after the attack, I am saying that you claim the Rogue is hidden while he is in plain view of his enemy. The attack is irrelevant to what I am talking about. It doesn't matter whether he sticks his head out and throws a dagger or if he sticks his...

It is only an issue for path of the berserker and only for them when they choose to Frenzy. Frenzy is very powerful; over the course of 10-turn rage you are dishing out about 150hp worth of extra damage from it. It makes sense that a character can't do that multiple times a day with no...

No they don't. The rules are clear: PHB page 177: "you can't hide from a creature that can see you clearly ..... In combat most creatures stay alert for signs of danger all around, so if you come out of hiding and approach a creature it usually sees you..." Further to get technical being...

I bolded a different part of your quote. If you can be seen when you make an attack you are no longer "unseen" and therefore no longer "hidden" There is no need to see how much time it takes to raise a shield, as soon as you poke your head out you are not unseen". While I am at it - you...

You generally have to move to attack.

Yes if he is not visible when firing. Hiding in bushes and shooting out through them might do this. Hiding outside of an enemies darkvision range when in darkness definitely would do it. Hiding behind a wall or a tree and leaning out to shoot likewise clearly would not. Nothing in then rules...

But this is much more restrictive than hide, specifically because of the mobility factor.

I think you are doing hiding wrong if Rogues are hiding and attacking with advantage from being hidden every turn. They should be able to hide every turn, but usually they will not be able to attack from hiding on the next turn. With the exception of Halflings, Rogues have to be completely...

Play like you want, whatever makes you feel good. That said in my experience Blur is the better combat option than shadowblade for difficult encounters. This is not a high-damage build and you should focus on being tanky, becasue that is what you are.

RAW on p272 of DMG, any character can do it as a bonus action so no need. That said, at my table my house rule is it is an action only, Rogues included.

So you make a character expend an arrow to hit someone with a longbow? After all it has the ammunition property and "Each time you Attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of Ammunition"

I think in MAW (Myth As Written)he used a sword in melee.

Based on the novels Szass Tam has an entire underground treasury with multiple rooms full of magical artifacts .... so I would say just about any he wants.

Bringing this thread back up, I have an idea for a multiclass that is great at both ranged weapons and heavy melee weapons. I have always wanted to make a character really good at both and I think a multiclass battlesmith artificer would scratch that itch. custom lineage with +2 int and a half...

The Zhents have both merchants and informers. the Merchants would wear their tabard, the spies would not (and don't in the books).
