    D&D 5E (2014) How would you make a Jedi in 5e?

    That's neat, but I need to do it with official material and UA stuff only. Minor tweaks may be allowed.

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you make a Jedi in 5e?

    Using the current 5th edition D&D rules, as well as allowing Unearthed Arcana stuff, how would you build a Jedi in this game? TIA.

    D&D 5E (2014) Paladin/Druid build.

    I just read about this, I'm adding a few details but the idea isn't totally mine. Half Orc Paladin 2/Druid X. Stats: 13 in STR, WIS, CHA. Otherwise, they really don't matter too much. The basic build idea is to shape-change and do a lot of damage this way. Circle of the Moon Druids excel...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeons and Dragons and the RPG Stigma

    I've worked in hospital settings for almost 20 years. Many doctors are dicks. It's plain and simple. These are people who, for the most part, have grown up just like star athletes: being told they're the best at X Y Z, ect.. The difference is, it's only their family and teachers telling...

    Warlock definitely works, the problem arises that sentient weapons can not be bonded. :/

    D&D 5E (2014) Mirror Image and Sentinel

    If I have Mirror Image on my character, and he's attacked, but the attacker actually targets an illusion, does Sentinel trigger and my character gets an attack as a reaction? If so, can I add sneak attack damage to this?

    D&D 5E (2014) Need help maxxing out an Arcane Trickster

    Hey guys. I just joined a new group. They're a bit power-gameish, but I really like the people. I decided to create a Human Arcane Trickster (although I am considering half elf or even eladrin). I'll be joining the game at 5th level. Any tips or tricks you guys can give me so I can make...

    D&D 5E (2014) Build advice needed. Planning out a fighter and don't know when to place the -5/+10 feats

    Hey guys. When you're using point buy for stats, and you're building a fighter intent on dealing damage, when do you add in either sharpshooter or great weapon master? Look at it this way: assume a starting 16 in either DEX or STR (with either the ranged or melee attacker, respectively)...

    D&D 5E (2014) "My X is underpowered compared to Y." So?

    As a guy who really hasn't played since 2e myself, I look at it like this: since WotC released 3rd edition, they have tried to balance the classes out. My evidence is that every class now takes the same amount of XP to advance. Back in 2e, classes had different XP charts. A level 10 Thief had...

    D&D 5E (2014) Lvl 1 half-elf with average stats

    As a powergamer, I'd make the "screw you, I don't need stats" build. Hill dwarf cleric of nature. Just put your highest stat in WIS, your second highest in CON, and your lowest in STR and DEX. cast Shillelagh in combat. You get to use your WIS to determine hit/damage. Nature cleric gives...

    D&D 5E (2014) Lvl 1 half-elf with average stats

    I'm surprised your DM would not let you choose the standard array. I think you can have a perfectly fine character with the rolls you got, I'm surprised because I'd think a new DM would try to tip the scales so that you'd have a more powerful character. Many first timers who get overshadowed...

    D&D 5E (2014) Lvl 1 half-elf with average stats

    I was going to suggest asking for the standard array as well. Are you choosing half elf because that's what you want to play, or because of a perceived mechanical advantage?

    D&D 5E (2014) Highest DPR Build Yet?

    I've been thinking about this build. While I think it would work (worst case scenario is you've run out of spells... And then you're "just" a tank with a great AC and you're dealing 1d8 + STR every round), I think going to Paladin level 6 or 7 (Oath of the Ancients) and filling the rest of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sorcerer: Stormborn vs Draconic bloodlines.

    Oh, I agree that the AC is important. Just not to me. LOL. I'm going to be able to wear light armor. :p

    D&D 5E (2014) Sorcerer: Stormborn vs Draconic bloodlines.

    I'm trying to compare these two. Seems like the Draconic can get fire resistance, which is more helpful than the Lightning resistance of the Stormborn. But the Stormborn gets more spells. The AC doesn't mean a lot to me, but the Draconic gets extra HP as well.

    D&D 5E (2014) Great D&D 5e DPR build

    I'd call it a DPR build with nova capabilities.
