I voted anything published, although by that I mean in one of the main sourcebooks: PHB, DMG, SCAG, XGE, TCE The only exception is custom lineage is a case-by-case basis. We have not had anyone try that yet but in the games I DM if a character comes with an idea and he can pitch it along with...

Normally GFB is part of the cast a spell action, but not if you are a bladesinger at 6th level or more. In that case GFB, or for that matter any other cantrip, can be cast as part of the attack action as long as you make a weapon attack. Here is the relevant exerp from the two weapon...

Yes there are a few reasons. If one of the weapons is poision or if it is magic and causes some kind of affect on a hit, you might want to lead with that and if it hits then follow up with a weapon that does more damage. If you are a bladesinger using shadowblade you can attack with your...

Well owls don't trigger AOOs so I guess that is what my familiar would be, which means I could keep him relatively safe.

Any familiar can do help on their turn to give advantage to someone else. No house rule required, here is the rule: "Alternatively, you can aid a friendly creature in attacking a creature within 5 feet of you. You feint, distract the target, or in some other way team up to make your ally’s...

Except that you are no longer heavily obscured and can be seen. Sticking your head out is going to reveal you. I could see doing it in some specific circumstances if you purposely "peep out" somwhere which is outside the enemies field of vision but the conditions would have to be right.

The term "two-weapon fighting" in 5e refers specifically to a bonus attack. The rules state that both weapons must be light (barring a feat) and the character does not receive damage bonus from the offhand. I believe RAW this only refers to using the bonus action to attack with a second weapon...

Sunlight sensitivity only occurs in "direct sunlight" which is different than "outside during the day". Cloudy day, no problem, in a forrest usually no problem. In a town in the shade of a building, no problem. There are certainly times where sunlight sensitivity is unavoidable, but more...

You are hiding behind the medium (or larger) creature. You have to shoot "directly through" his space to remain hidden. An average human has a cross section area of 6.8 square feet, In a 25 square foot 5'x5' plane he person covers substantially more than 25% of the surface area of the space...

As a player I agree with you ........ as a DM it is +5 for a large or smaller enemy. :) Seriously I could see either. At +5 for a medium AC enemy it cancels the chance of hitting with advantage but still allows SA and movement after the attack. In other words you will hit just about as...

Maybe I am doing hide wrong? Here is my 2 cents: A rogue needs to be fully obscured to hide in combat. Generally, the only way to attack from a hidden position in combat is being in darkness vs a creature without darkvision or being invisibile. That means a Rogue is generally not going to be...

On my Rogues I always have athletics with expertise. I think that is better than taking acrobatics because you can use it for both offense and defense with shove or grapple.

1. Single class high elf Bladesinger 2. Multiclass half-elf Scout/hexblade-pact of chain 3. Multiclass V. human Arcane Archer/Gloomstalker (this character takes both GWM and sharpshooter) 4. V. Human war-magic wizard with a 2 level dip in trickery domain cleric. With that party you also have 3...

I am going to play my first ever cleric (a Rogue multiclass) in a game I am in now. The character is a 1st level half-elf Rogue now. I will probably level this week and pick up twilight cleric. I am going to end up going assasin/twilight cleric eventually. I have never liked clerics much. I...

According to the PHB Rogues can get SA under a variety of circumstances if they do not have disadvantage. Disadvantage pretty much cancels all SAs. What if they have both advantage and disadvantage. I know it is a normal attack roll in such a case, but does this cancel the "having...

A Rogue is my favorite class. Others can do more damage, like you said. But no other class is as versatile. The think I like best about them is the skills. four skills at first level plus two more for the background. All of the rogue kits are good too (or at least all I have played, I...

What specifically is the check for? I could see a check to avoid being damaged (soft landing) or to avoid being "prone" on the first turn and niether would require an action. I realize a character is not actually prone but I could see hitting the water awkwardly could cause the equivalent of...

When I started in 1E characters who did not have a class that could get armor simply could not wear it, if you did you could. Back then the only races that could be multiclass wizards were elves, Gnomes and half elves and they got to wear whatever armor their other class (fighter, Thief)...

I do to sometimes, but there has to be more than this. To get a persuasion or intimidation the person has to tell me what he is doing - tell the guard "You think you could let me in" as I hold up a platinum - persuasion. "Let me in because I know where you live" - intimidation. It might be...
