    D&D 5E (2014) Party optimisation vs Character optimisation

    Multiclass warlock/clerics that get heavy armor proficiency and take the crossbow expert feat to use eldritch blast in melee. Use eldritch blast as default attack for everyone, tons of spells, everyone gets warlock slots and channel divinities back on short rests. You could mix it up with a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Question Around Warlock Spell Swapping Rules

    Any spellcasting class that uses Spells Know (bard, sorcerer, warlock, ranger, eldritch knight, arcane trickster) all work the same way. You can replace the spell with any spell you have the spell slot for. A warlock when gaining 3rd level can pick 1 second level spell as a new spell, and...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's the point of gold?

    I always thought it would be best to have the XP chart numbers also be the wealth by level guidelines. One chart easy to see, and you know how much treasure a monster should have based on it's XP value.

    Shadow Monk without Shadow Step?

    You are removing a modified at-will ability that resembles a 2nd level spell, misty step. Replace it with a modified at-will ability that resembles a 2nd level spell, I suggest Invisibility that only works in the shadows. It gives in combat and out of combat utility, ends up mostly granting...

    D&D 5E (2014) Barb vs Fighter vs Monk..vs Paladin!

    That is something I have overlooked and is annoying about flurry of blows. Well at least you can still sunning strike your opponent on your first attack and if they fail the save not only do your other attacks have advantage they get can't take any actions on their next turn.

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock as divine offspring?

    An Empyrean(Titan) would be good celestial warlock patron. They run the gambit of alignments, are themselves not deities who would fluff wise have clerics, and are more powerful than most other things in the world including Solars and Pit Fiends. Spawn of titans is common in a lot of stories...

    D&D 5E (2014) Speed Zero and prone

    Why would it need to be tweeted to Crawford? I mean the rule is clear as day in the book. Lets try and not waste the man's time with questions easily answered.

    D&D 5E (2014) Speed Zero and prone

    Standing up takes more effort; doing so costs an amount of movement equal to half your speed. For example, if your speed is 30 feet, you must spend 15 feet of movement to stand up. You can’t stand up if you don’t have enough movement left or if your speed is 0. You are correct.

    D&D 5E (2014) Surprise!

    It is one class ability, if you want change it. I see it as the human having 6th sense or seeing the glint of the arrow, or some form of battle awareness. Don't forget that if the human is a monk he could use his reaction to deflect the arrow, now since the assassin still has advantage from...

    D&D 5E (2014) Adjudicating Melee

    For me success with a cost is fine for exploration and social stuff, most skill checks. For combat I want black and white, tactical small group combat. That is why I use a grid for example. Futzing around with combat drives me a little crazy, one of the many reasons I dislike critical fumble...

    D&D 5E (2014) Barb vs Fighter vs Monk..vs Paladin!

    Monk isn't that bad damage wise. Assuming 16 dex at 5th level a pure monk has 2 attacks for d8+4 & bonus action for a d6+4. I understand that isn't amazing but they can easily focus fire or spread the pain around dropping mooks. Also stunning strike is wonderful against bosses, any type of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Jeremy Crawford's Promise for 5e

    That is a very easy promise to keep. “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”. In the case of fans, you can never please all of the people at any time. It is the nature of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Homebrew Feat: Dueling Mastery

    I still haven't seen the great weapon and sharpshooter feats be all that useful the -5 to hit is a big penalty. But if you are wanting to balance the scales this seems like one way to do it. The other would be to just change the two feats in the PHB.

    D&D 5E (2014) how can i add oomph to my warlock

    She is just immune to any spell of 6th level or lower unless she wants to be affected by it. A CR 30 Deity should be almost impossible to kill, and she is. I can't see a group of level 20's taking her out unless they bring an army with magic weapons.

    D&D 5E (2014) Adjudicating Melee

    D&D is not Dungeon World. I don't agree or support such a ruling, unless said monster has a special ability in it's stat block that says if missed by a melee attack, the creature can opt to take just the weapon damage die as damage to use it's reaction to make an attack in retaliation. If...

    D&D 5E (2014) how can i add oomph to my warlock

    Increase spell DC, by increasing spellcasting ability in the warlocks case charisma or getting magic items that do so. Items that increase spell DC from the DMG are rod of the pact keeper and robe of the archmagi. More spell slots there is multiclassing and a few magic items like pearls of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Chucking daggers: how do we throw two?

    Where do you get that from? Darts are ranged weapons using one in melee is like trying to use a crossbow, bow, or net in melee. It would be treated as an improvised weapon or used to make a ranged attack and suffer disadvantage.

    D&D 4E Neverwinter Campaign Setting (4e to 5e)

    I love the Bladesinger class from that book, the ability to do some minor magic attack and swing a sword every round is exactly what I want from a class like that. The fact you have to wait till 7th level EK fighter or 14th level Valor bard in 5e to do the same thing was disappointing to me.
