    Diabolus, Tiefling Racial Class

    Right. So a fiendish blade gains the equivalent of lifedrinker at level 2, and IDS at level 6. No need for a 3rd strike.

    D&D 5E (2014) [5E] Optimizing Circle of the Shepherd with a bonus feature from another class

    Single features that would love to scale with character level: - rage - fighter's extra attack (3rd attack at level 11) - BM combat superiority (always 1d8, but hey) - martial arts - unarmored movement - ranger's companion - sneak attacks - pact magic (a second set of slots) - eldritch...

    D&D 5E (2014) Need some help building my first rogue

    Feral tiefling, I see. I'd say the optimal start is 8 16 14 14 12 12. You want Con14, and Int14 maximizes your racial bonuses. If you really want Wis14, you'd need to start 8 16 14 11 14 12 or so. The difference between Cha10 and Cha12 isn't much, expertise in a face skill will add more (as...

    Barbarian3/Fighter17 Build Questions

    Seriously, TWF doesn't work once you reach fighter 11. Your maul friend does 6d6+15 (36) while you do 4d6+20 (34). And he has GWM/PAM for BA. Crit-fishing lags behind BM damage until at least barbarian 9 / champion 3, and only if you go half-orc. And to keep reckless attack up, you need as many...

    Optimizing Tempest Cleric

    So you are saying "you" as a point of origin is anywhere within 2.5 feet of you, anywhere in the same grid square. I don't know if the DMG has grid rules, but it seems a consistent ruling at worst. Still, even if you start it behind you... you can still be out of the effect if you don't...

    Optimizing Tempest Cleric

    You start with the idea that you are on a 5' grid and the cube follows the grid, putting you 2.5 feet inside it. This is not possible as you are the cube's point of origin, not the grid.

    Optimizing Tempest Cleric

    That's not how it works. There are no "cubic face behind you". You are on the face of the cube. You can still include the point of origin (you) in the area effect, but this has no impact on whether the person to your right and the person to your left are affected.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should D&D go away from ASIs?

    I voted "No" because too many systems handle skill leveling correctly. I'd rather have an ASI be +1 in 3 stats to remove the odd/even optimization.

    D&D 5E (2014) Need help building a good warrior

    You can form a wall with the cleric, but I hope rogue/ranger won't play the ranged game and leave you 2 alone in melee. Standard array limits your stat choices. Barbarogue is the ultimate wrestler. Barbarian works great as a SnB tank and does enough damage to not be ignored by enemies. You can...

    D&D 5E (2014) Homebrew: 2 ideas to improve fighter out of combat effectiveness

    With UA there's enough half-feat... At those levels, you can take any 2 half-feat without the stats increase. For instance at level 6, you could take medic + theologian. Or actor + empathic. In both cases, no stat increase in Wis, Int or Cha.

    Paladin 9 / rogue 11 for reliable talent and 3rd spells. BTW, half-plate is AC15.

    D&D 5E (2014) LF Crit Fishing Build

    You cannot crit-fish effectively before level 10. You need at least half-orc and brutal critical, which puts you at barbarian 9 / fighter 3. Champion becomes interesting at level 7, although feral instinct is better than remarkable athlete for initiative. If you want to have fun with...
