My 🌩 Goliath is a product of a dark cult nation attempting to breed a "new man" but they have had many, many failures until the project is scrapped.

Hill giants, in my campaign, used their connection to the Earth to cultivate the land and to paraphrase; pissed off Gods. Basically, they were cursed to become the fat inbred DnD walking fart-joke we know and love. But they left behind "pets" in one last garden who eventually consumed plums and...

All solid foundation there.

Played a 🔥 Goliath barbarian. GWM, charger. Use his extra D10, brutal strike, and charge to great effect. Outside of combat, I have no shortage of slave race/ demonic cult masters/Acheron wizard empire let their "trained apes" learn too much arcane craft to the point of overthrowing the...

Haha, my players figured out at level 4 why the clansmen of the Steppes wanted so much gold for their battlebooze, to "make one drink and fight forever". The wizard finally bothered an Arcana check to figure out that they were actually healing potions (with a strong alcoholic component) My way...

I see, you are saying every turn because of concentration. Pretty comparable to a basic champ like the one I mentioned (of course his attributes play into this more) decreased to level 5, so take away the def fighting style. He is still running with 20.4 DPR (after 60% miss). Still has polearm...

But, when speaking of consistency, how is the same level druid upcasting moonbeam "every turn"? (also moonbeam has no flat attribute modifier). If you are eating up spell slot repeatedly on shield for your "tanky caster" then you are making sortof a nova tank. Where eventually you will be babies...

Well, at least now I know the "magnetic" attribute would be a reasonable attribute to tack onto a magic 🛡 . Then you can change the action economy of shields with a flavorful and not overpowered magic attribute in regard to the speed of donning and doffing

Yeah, I am still figuring out '24 a bit... but you'll get no argument out of me on the initiative topic or solidness of 'alert' background

I guess it depends on your interpretation of "doffing". I have the feeling it is more intended as "sheathing" or holstering your shield back onto its' pin. To carry it around on your person. What my player does is loosen the band and toss aside the 🛡 (that has its downsides), But seems more...

I honestly thought it took the same amount of action as "dropping an item from in-hand" color me surprised 😮

Wah! Looks like RAW is utilize action to don OR doff... So that is a bit painful. I've always just let the player take action to don... but unstrap and drop on the ground rapidly, because that makes sense to me. But RAW is RAW when discussing these things. Dropping a 🛡 is a <6 second task IMO if...

Those non-flashy fighting style examples can be very effective without taking up a spell slot/resource... just a reaction. You also have sap on the spear guy. Meaning they are just imposing disadvantage easily and repeatedly, all day long, except when I betray them with terrain (usually)

Fair enough, it is an interesting post because there is alot of room for interpretation. I also opened Pandora's box with "rest and survivability". I just sortof latched onto that "consistency" bit. To me, the all-or-nothing nature of most full casters (one big attack, expended reactions, etc..)...

It's an interesting thing, that, (TYPICAL martial) is the operating term. I would say, typical is sort of the analysis issue here in that the meta probably runs ALOT of dmg-nova focus (battlemaster with their limited dice count to be super special for a brief time). I've made several grindy...

I think you are correct in this case, though those d12 go a really long way for that raging barb to the point that I'm not even using all of them before the rest of the party is hoping for a break :)... So, basically it works by the sheer effectiveness of the resource to extend out the length of...

Or you could run Zealot with d12 bonus action heals. I love crafting the periapt of wound closure that doubles HD healing as well, speaking of making long-haul sufficient characters. Though the grindiest long-hauler I've ever made was the spear-and-shield champion. That guy just seemed to...

Ooh, ooh!!! Fun. Sword & board Zealot barb, with bonus action heals to upset the apple cart?

That is quite a leap, look back at my post, I didn't make any such claim. I just counterpointed your absolutist statement with my own experience.... So, no I did not present my own experience as an absolute. Then I just responded to your rhetoric... but, yes, it was good for me

Solid snarky dismissal. But you are presenting like your experience is gospel. I would say it is sufficient to say there are divergent experiences from your own. IME they have been consistent enough.
