    D&D 5E (2014) Wall of Force and Mind Blast

    It's possible that Gaze Attack don't care about cover - just Heavy Obscurement. I.e. if you can see their eyes (or they can see you for some of them) that's enough. In that case it would work through a pane of glass or a Wall of Force (unless you rule that being a magical barrier it will...

    D&D 5E (2014) So Was That Z Fellow right?

    "Hmmm...no one has made a post telling me how right I was yet. I better fix that. These people would be lost without me."

    D&D 5E (2014) Help me define my Dwarven cultures

    Dwarf Cultures: Deep Dwarves: Short, Hairy, and Violent Hill Dwarves: Short, Hairy, and Violent with a bad Scottish accent. Mountain Dwarves: Short, Hair, Violent and Drunk...with a slightly less bad Scottish accent.

    D&D 5E (2014) Wall of Force and Mind Blast

    A mind flayers Mind Blast "magically emits psychic energy in a 60' cone". There is nothing about it ignoring cover. Does the Wall of Force provide total cover? It would in the hemisphere formation. So the question is - does the Mind Flayer's mind blast act enough like a spell that it...

    D&D 5E (2014) A Proper Ability Score Generation Preference Poll

    So the answer to my original question is "because you can't help yourself". Thank you for clearing that up.

    D&D 5E (2014) A Proper Ability Score Generation Preference Poll

    I don't care about your question. It's an obvious attempt to deflect. Yes, that would have been something approaching accurate. It really isn't. You were trying to make your position appear stronger by claiming special knowledge of what "most people" would do when your sample size isn't...

    Changing the subject I see. That means you are basing it on your personal experiences and preferences - just like Oofta was. Hm....

    D&D 5E (2014) A Proper Ability Score Generation Preference Poll

    No, you were using my post to make a childish jab at Hussar. You are not nearly as subtle or clever as you seem to think you are. Grow up.

    D&D 5E (2014) A Proper Ability Score Generation Preference Poll

    Are you being a jerk just because you can't help it, or is there a purpose to this?

    D&D 5E (2014) A Proper Ability Score Generation Preference Poll

    You seem pretty sure you know what "most people" prefer and do when it comes to characters. What are you basing this on?

    D&D 5E (2014) A Proper Ability Score Generation Preference Poll

    Um, I'm afraid there are - if you want to multi-class. You have to meet the minimum stats for both the class you start in, and the class you are switching too. It's easy to miss, but the rule is there.

    [sienfeld] Who are these people? [/seinfeld] Certainly not me, I like warlocks and don't expect them to do anything more than their class description and class abilities say they do. And I for one don't particularly care about the "expectations" of generic, hypothetical "people"...

    Perhaps adjust your expectations then? Or play a caster that works more in accordance to your expectations. That was true even before XGtE. If you want to be an Eldritch Blast specialist you can. Or you can focus on doing other things with your warlock and have Eldritch Blast as the...

    Alternative Loot Generation for a Younger Party

    You might also consider using "awarded loot" rather than "found loot". They generally find only mundane items off the monster, but at different points an NPC will award them a specific item for their services and actions. It may be the local noble rewarding them for taking care of bandits...

    I find the poll to be insufficient. I sometimes like to hit stuff as a Blade Pact Warlock. Or as an Eldritch Knight fighter. Sometimes as both. (I have actual characters that are blade pact warlock, eldritch knight fighter, and a chain pact/eldritch knight fighter/warlock. Plus a tome...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can a Shadow Blade be your Chosen Hex Warrior weapon?

    Right after you finish the long rest. In this case it takes "Long Rest + X minutes" to finish preparing your spells, where X = total spell levels changed.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can a Shadow Blade be your Chosen Hex Warrior weapon?

    What are you going on about? "Whenever you finish a long rest" means your character was doing it during the long rest. You (as a player) just don't have to decide what was being prepared/regained/whatever until the long rest is finished.

    I'm sorry, you responding to my posts makes me feel uncomfortable. Please don't do that. Just as a show of common courtesy. Thank you.

    Eh, I look at Eldritch Blast for a Warlock the same way I look at a fighter's primary weapon. It's their fallback attack when they don't have something more interesting to do with their spells and invocations. In many ways, a Warlock can be seen an Arcane version of a fighter. Most of the...
