Life is tough kid. Maybe you need some higher stats to deal with it? Sent from my [device_name] using EN World mobile app

Hey, You started it with your kiddie pool comment. [emoji2] I was just playing along with your little game. Sent from my [device_name] using EN World mobile app

Right, you need that crutch of high stats because you can't play well enough to survive without them. I completely understand. [emoji14] Sent from my [device_name] using EN World mobile app

Heh, to me needing super high stats for your character sounds like playing in the kiddie pool. Some of us don't need that crutch in order to play the game. [emoji6] Sent from my [device_name] using EN World mobile app

Would you also make them lose the spell slot and their reaction if they are unable to cast Shield?

Great Weapon Fighting applies to any melee weapon wielded in two hands - so two handed or versatile weapons (like warhammers) when both hands are used. Great Weapon Master grants two abilities, but only one of them requires the Heavy property to function (the -5 att/+10 dam). The bonus...

Well, as I stated previously, the Xanathar rule is dumb and shouldn't be used. But assuming that you are using that optional rule - specific still trumps general. And the shield spell specifically allows itself to be cast in reaction to being targeted by the magic missile spell. You don't...

I don't believe this affects the shield spell. The shield spell is cast as a reaction "when you are hit by an attack or targeted by the magic missile spell", while counterspell is a reaction to them casting the spell. So shield is after the enemy's spellcasting action is completed, while...

I doubt this is Adventure League if you are getting +2 and +3 shields and Dwarven Throwers at level 3. :p You are probably in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, which is the campaign world that Adventure League uses for their adventures. The Melee Weapon vs. Melee Weapon Attack thing...

And I wish people would actually check the rules before saying this, since it's untrue. If you care to read the rules in the PHB , both rolling and standard array are the default method (PHB, page 13, 2nd paragraph). Point buy is under "Variant: Customizing Ability Scores" on the same page...

Or you could do something wild and crazy, like -and hear me out - NOT tank your characters Con score and this never becomes an issue. I mean, I know it's hard to resist the urge to play someone with chronic Tuberculosis or some incredibly debilitating magical wasting disease. But if you...

Taken Adventurer: "If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you." Grosse Pointe Blanke Adventurer: ""If I show up at...

Who are you to judge them as "evil"? They are just adhering their own culturally acceptable behaviors. The Imperialist "Adventurers" only care about their so called crimes when they know there is gold and magic to be gained by invading their homes and slaughtering them!

I first heard the term in the RPGA, and still hear it in Adventure League. I believe the meaning has shifted over the years - now when I hear it, it is usually in reference to a specific play style: The characters aren't specifically "evil", but rather indifferent and mercenary. Ignore...

I usually go the route of "PC's are special because of what they choose to do, not because of their abilities." If they go the murderhobo route (as in start acting like criminals and serial killers instead of mercenaries for hire) in any major city, then they find out that they aren't the...

Their existence also doesn't bother me at all.

The lack of Pokemon Trainers in D&D doesn't bother me at all.

So Rifts for D&D? Not bad.

Overall it works pretty well, but it requires you to play a lot of attention and micromanage your abilities for best effect. For my preferred build, the idea is to get out there and absorb damage. Dealing damage is a lower priority - you are there to block the way to your main damage dealers...

I just don't have these problems. My warlock is usually the party tank...
