I need some help with a Monk character I'll be playing soon. Bear with me, the thread is a little lengthy. I want to play a Monk, basically because I never played one before. The game starts at 5th level, and there is a distinct AL-vibe to the game. Point buy stats. You never know who you'll...

I'm starting to realize this class might not be that great, mechanically. If I were to be restricted to playing one single classed, I'd almost definitely make him a mountain dwarf (armor) or variant human, taking the medium armor feat. But where this class fails mechanically, it is really...

My bad, you're right!

IMHO, I'd suggest 6 levels of paladin. Adding CHA to your saves is amazing. I don't know enough about the warlock to suggest stuff for one.

Is multiclassing an option? A level of Warlock will allow you to take Devil's Sight.

Nice guide. Thank you!!

What were the stats of the katana in the playtest? I read some mention of it on a Facebook group, but I never got an answer about what the stats on the blade were. Thank you.

Thank you, but I was referring to the part I put in bold text. :)

What's that mean? I feel like I'm missing a reference.

If the EK were like the basic D&D elf, it'd be a lot more powerful.

Good morning all. I'm curious about the minimum stat requirements for multiclassing in 5e. Let's say you start with a barbarian with a STR under 13. If he puts on Gauntlets of Ogre Power, can he multiclass? Thanks.

If you were to summarize the fighter archetypes, what would you say? I'm trying to keep it short and sweet. Let me know how I did, and let me know your opinions. 1) Champion. The easy, no fuss option. Better critical hits, which means more damage. 2) Battlemaster. The leader, the guy who can...

I think 3 levels of fighter is worth it, unless you know the game is going to 20. Fighting style, action surge, and either extra AC (shield spell from Eldritch knight), more criticals (champion), or extra burst damage (battle master) is worth it.

Wow. Well, I could never play a character quite like that anyway, but I think the fun of it would be the build-up. Multiclass in 5e is tricky, because there don't seem to be many "clear winners" on levels to stop at. I mean, I know a lot of people map out their "builds" and know what their...

What's the Fighter 3 for? Champion crit bonus? BTW, I don't think I could ever find a DM to let me play a Paladin/Assassin multiclass, but my version will have some Barbarian levels in there.

Holy Moley. I can't believe I never noticed how freakin OP half orc + Assassin 3 is. I mean, I did, but I was always calculating the power of a backstab, therefore I was gimping my crits. Great axe + auto-crit + half orc racial crit + GWM crit bonus is downright nasty. I applaud you.

What do you think is the most likely/common/acceptable alignment(s) for each oath? Oath of Devotion? Oath of Ancients? Oath of Vengeance?

I really like this option. Plus, you picked two perfect spells for "ritual only"

My DM has rules about buying scrolls. I'm not sure if it's a house rule or official rule.

I thought it would be so darn cool to have one, but I've never chosen the spell. Any EK's of yours, or of other players at your tables ever had a familiar (not the improved warlock familiar)? Have you found it worthwhile?
