As a point of fact, I fought against Iraqis "really trying to kill" me. I am not saying that to sound all cool, and I am certainly no GI Joe supersoldier, but it is factual. No I didn't, people. And who says potions are in glass bottles? If we are talking medieval they are more likely to...

So early access for the FR book is out. Banneret is a completely new subclass, no Dragons. The Purple Dragon Knights and Amethyst Dragons are mentioned in the secotion on Cormyr, but it is very short and not emphasized. Basically a decade ago someone there went out seeking an alliance with...

No but I did go into combat with them .... which is ironically actually what we are talking about here.

You do, but an alternative is a hand crossbow then thow a different light weapon, and you can use it with nick.

RAW you need money, time and proficiency. A lot of campaigns have the first (not all but a lot), very few campaigns afford you the time to craft anything beyond uncommon magic items. If you have Elven accuracy you don't want to be using a Heavy Crossbow IMO. You want to be using something...

I think I am weaker in pure damage because I won't have Warmagic until level 11. I don't think I am weaker overall because of spells and 2nd level pact slots At level 11+ (Fighter 7/Warlock 4) I think I will be every bit as strong as a single class fighter because Warmagic will be online, with...

I walked all over the midde least and much of southeast US with a canteen on my belt and went to plenty football games with a flask tucked in my belt and I never had a flask or a canteen break on me. ;)

I have all of that (well not Fey Touched). I have Hex from Warlock, Shillelagh-Charisma from Pact of Tome. I also have Misty Step from my Warlock subclass.

You lose damage and mastery options using thrown weapons with Dex. If you are using dex all you have is Dagger and Dart for thrown weapons (and WS does not work with darts). I actually forgot to mention Trident earlier, which is going to cause topple. That can slow enemies down quite a bit...

My current PC started out as a Fighter and multiclassed immediately to Warlock at level 2 and then went back to fighter at level 6 (Figther 2/Warlock 4) I think the way I am doing it will be more powerful in melee than a straight class fighter at every level except 2 and 7-10 Part of this is...

I really like wrathful smite from range in play, and it works with ranged attacks using melee weapons. I like it enough that I would not want to give that up. Against enemies that can be frightened it stops them cold on a failed save. No need for slow or anything else. As such, I would offer...

Yeah I do most of that. Except Sheild Master, hard for me to fit that feat in.. But mirror image often on many of my PC. I am playing two PCs that use sap often right now, not always with a shield. One of them I mentioned above Elemental Eye Warlock 4/Eldritch Knight 3. She is sword and...

Or on all weapons for fighters level 9 or above. ;)

It does matter, first as you said above you can't just take the average damage, there is a probability distribution at play. Also this is a decision you make AFTER your first attack hits and AFTER you do damage with it bit before your second attack. So there is no possibility of no attacks...

I think sap works best on a fighter, particularly because they can use it with any weapon past level 9, meaning they are not stuck making multiple attacks with sap where every attack after the first hit as no mastery. I like it on an Eldritch Knight the best. You get extra damage from the...

All of them take longer to draw than it takes to pull a potion out of my belt. Have you ever drawn a sword or rapier? It is longer, no way around it and it is a lot more dangerous if you are fighting because of the room you need to do it effectively. I am being generous by saying a dagger or...

No not even close. I would agree in most situations, the goal is to bring one down as soon as possible, but that does not mean an individual player focusing fire. For example, a simple scenarios - me and one ally are fighting two 15hp Hobgoblins in melee and we have a 70% chance of hitting...

Not according to the rules it isn't any longer. Compare pulling a potion from my belt to: Pulling a greatsword off my back: Less time pulling a Rapier out of a scabbard: Less time pulling a dagger out of a scabbard: about the same knocking an arrow: about the same loading a stone into a...

In one of my groups there is a player who regularly plays a Barbarian or Tough guy fighter and he always dumps Charisma and has no Charisma skills, yet he always wants to be the guy talking in every social encounter. DM: "Ok roll Persuasion to see if you can convince the townsfolk the suspect...

It varies widely with number of attacks you get, number of attacks enemies get and the number of enemies you are fighting. Using sap requires a lot of situational tactical application. For example do you focus fire on one bad guy so you can bring him down or do you split your attacks to sap...
