Ahhh. I thought you meant Riposte for both.

That seems convoluted to me. The enemy isn't usually attacking me on my turn to trigger the reaction and I would have to have reactions available on both turns. Is there something I am missing?

"Levitate the Barbarian" is a new power move? 😂

War Clerics (and other PCs) are capable of it through the Bastions rules in the DMG. It's just a more time invested process for the PC than a class feature. An interesting impact is there's a time limit on how long the benefit lasts so that creates added incentive against the 5mwd. It's also...

Remarkable Athlete is much better now too. Advantage on initiative is hard to pass up. Battle Master can mix and match Weapon Mastery with Maneuvers so by the time Tactical Master comes up and then later with Relentless there's a lot of combinations to work with among 3+ attacks in that turn...

The comment I made was in reference to pushing off a ledge or over a pit. That's easy to do with push effects. It can also be done with pull effects. Branches of the Tree uses a Reaction and can only target one opponent. Push effects are typically done with each attack and can affect...

A PC can do that with a push effect.

Warlocks are also relatively easy on resource tracking. Pact Magic is a few spell slots all of the same level, cantrips are at-will, and Invocations uses for spells are typically at-will.

Are you referring to this?

I would add that species choices can also impact soft multiclassing like that.

So... Path of the Wild Heart Barbarians qualify as spellcasters for attunement starting from 3rd level. Psi Warrior Fighters qualify as spellcasters for attunement starting at 18th level even though they have magic actions earlier Warrior of Shadow and Warrior of the Elements Monks qualify as...

TBF the OP points out those need additional support from a background and it's about flavor more than mechanics. If I make a High Elf cleric or druid with a bonus to INT skills like that with the Sage background and choose the Light or Land subclasses there's going to be a good chunk of wizard...

Shape-shifting in combat is needs based. It's an option if needed but could be done after combat. I see your point, though. Healing in combat is typically a poor use of action economy, even with big numbers and whether hp or thp, an more the result of things going poorly. Limiting the number...

That's still true for all concentration spells and doesn't justify amping them up as demonstrated by looking at other concentration spells. Most of them should be amped based on that presumption.

How often are your PC's facing opponents capable of dispelling or counterspelling your PC's? Seems more like the exception than the rule to me. Breaking concentration is a plan, but individual attacks don't add up to a big DC to break it. Both of those are beside the point. They are still...

That depends. Saving Throws don't always fail on a "1". The 1's and 20's rule only applies to attack rolls. If my caster has War Caster and proficiency in CON saves that's a lot of attacks that can be dismissed for the concentration check. +3 CON bonus and that proficiency means any single...

It takes 17 levels to get Shapechange. That's a long term plan, lol. From the 2014 version... 2014 Shapechange was possible to power through the hit points. The Dragon Turtle example would have ended the Shapechange after 341 hp of damage because shape-shifting couldn't replace those hit...

The temp hp don't need to add together for the advantage here. A 17th level Wizard with 104 hp who uses Shapechange to shape-shift into a Dragon Turtle gains 341 temp hp, or more than 3x their actual hp. The Wizard can then shape-shift into an Elf and when given the choice of the new thp or...

Shapechange grants temporary hit points when shape-shifting, not when casting the spell, and doesn't lose them with the form. During the duration of the spell this can be repeated with a Magic action. For example, shape-shifting into 300+ hp creatures 60 times during the spell duration can...

After the last thread I thought I'd see what I could throw into an Artificer pass. Thoughts or suggestions? Artificer Core Artificer Traits Primary Ability Intelligence Hit Point Die D8 per Artificer level Saving Throw Proficiencies Constitution and Intelligence Skill...
