    D&D 5E (2014) Booming Blade seems a bit powerful

    Yes. The point was BB/GFB under optimal circumstances is just as good as a fighter or warlock damage. Still, those extra 3d8 damage sure make clerics praise their lord.

    D&D 5E (2014) Booming Blade seems a bit powerful

    The target has no condition, restrained or other. Cantrips are weak. Eldritch blast is only strong because agonizing blast adds Cha mod multiple times. - fighter 20 = 4d12+20 = 46 damage - EB 17th = 4d10+20 = 42 damage - BB 17th = 1d12+5+3d8 + 4d8 = 43 damage BB is weak because you only get a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Barbarian Druid Query ?

    For polymorph, sure. But "you retain the benefit of any features" includes things such as unarmored defense, fast movement, savage attacks. Darkvision is specifically spelled out as not "physically capable of doing so". You may rule that raging requires a secret handshake or some other...

    D&D 5E (2014) [META] Realistic Optimization

    It's hard to get anything useful before level 4 and your first feat (or some cleric 1 / archetype 3 MC combo). By level 8, you'll get your second feat (or reach extra attack 5 / archetype 3). At that point your character should be fully operational. The real problem is finding something that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Moon Druid/Sun Soul Monk Multiclass

    Wildshape's restriction might refer to the "cast a spell" action, but you use the "attack" action for radiant sun bolt. The 2 points of contention are: - "any action that requires hands is limited" - "physically capable of doing so" I think the "you are proficient with it" goes the same way as...

    Oh, thank you. Now I understand. Yes, cantrip + single attack is very useful sometimes. Mage hand for the door or lights.

    Level 6 fighter, where do I go?

    You cannot dip cleric with Wis12. Ranger and paladin have the stat requirement to cover your party healing needs. Did the paladin grab inspiring leader yet? Sentinel would help you control the battlefield and stop skirmishers. Shield master can shove on bonus and keep them close to you. Healer...

    D&D 5E (2014) Typically, how many hit points is the Durable feat worth?

    It's better for classes with 1d6 than those with 1d12: Con14 (1 -> 2) = 1/6 1/8 1/10 1/12 Con16 (1,2 -> 3) = 3/6 3/8 3/10 3/12 Con18 (1,2,3 -> 4) = 6/6 6/8 6/10 6/12 Con20 (1,2,3,4 -> 5) = 10/6 10/8 10/10 10/12 For a Con18 wizard, it's worth +1 hp per HD. You might as well get Con20 with all...
