If you take War Caster as your feat, you don't have to worry about free hands for casting. As for spell selection, I'm not too familiar with the Cleric list, as I mostly play arcane when I play a caster. However, I am familiar with all cantrips, as Tomelock was part of my first PC. One thing of...

I disagree to a degree. If the party are okay with all of them playing a race that may backfire on them, I say let the chips fall as they may. Sometimes it's facing overwhelming odds that makes a gameplay experience memorable. Hard mode can be just as enjoyable as Easy. Considering that their...

Actually it's more like a 25-40% range (~33% avg) of failure in the case of Raise Dead. Since it's a Cleric/Druid spell, you can make the safe assumption of Guidance factoring into the equation. That means that a 1st level Cleric/Druid with Wis 16 will get +6 - +9 on the check. While it's still...

I have been playing and running AL games since 11/14, and I haven't felt a need to go back to non-OP play. The portability factor was the key selling point for me. Being able to take your character to any AL table around the globe is a great thing. While I might not go to cons that run AL often...

You're welcome. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. That's what this subforum is for.

That sounds awesome! I think that it'd be an interesting change of pace to see an adventure where being in a faction adds an extra layer of challenge without much of a benefit. EE Druid: "Why are the plants attacking us?" DM: "Why do you feel the need to sow seeds everywhere you go?"...

Yes, you could cast two cantrips in one turn (1 action + 1 bonus action) or one cantrip plus one leveled spell. Spells use the Cast a Spell action, which is different from the Attack action.

I understand where you're coming from now, but there's two things wrong with your double BH trick. 1. Twinned Metamagic is the only way to cast two leveled spells in a single turn. 2. SSM's BH can only be used after the Attack action.

If you have a regular in your group that you trust enough to work in a symbiotic relationship, I have a pair of builds that have amazing synergy. Leveling progression is listed for both. Variant Human (Sentinel) Moon Druid 2/Monk 1/Druid 6/Open Hand Monk 5/Druid 15 Variant Human (Mounted...

My bad. Was responding in between commercials while watching TV, so I wasn't completely focused on what typos I made. The main things to get out of Sun Soul Monk after 12th are Diamond Soul at 14th, more Ki points to fuel your kamehamehas, and the upgrade to d10 damage at 17th. The 17th level...

As someone who primarily plays AL, I make sure that my builds are viable in all 4 tiers before the first session. For those unfamiliar with the tiers of play, they break down as 1-4, 5-10, 11-16, 17-20. If a build doesn't come completely together until T2 or T3, I make sure that it isn't...

Spell Sniper wouldn't affect the range of RSB, as it uses the Attack action and not Cast A Spell. However, it would benefit from the second ability of ignoring cover. As for the cantrip gained by Spell Sniper, I would probably go with Boom Blade from the SCAG. Its attack roll is based off the...

Sun Soul Monk is better suited to be taken straight without multiclassing. If you're dead set on having an animal-like PC that fires hadoukens and kamehamehas, see if your DM will allow you to be an Aarakocra from the EEPC. They're bird-people that get bonuses to Dex and Wis, which is what a...

I only chose Erudite as it was previously used as the name for a psionic class that was about unlocking the power of the mind.

I understand that. I never said it would be easy, hence why I said I wasn't getting my hopes up on it happening soon. However, it is theoretically possible. I just made the suggestion as a solution to allowing rule changes to DM rewards being implemented to all adventures, and not just those...

Your game seems like a bookkeeping nightmare. I would honestly stick to what you're comfortable running. If he doesn't like it, he can go find another game. The loss of a player may put a temporary hindrance on a group. The loss of a DM is the death knell for it.

But with DTRPG allowing for files to be updated, couldn't the old adventures be updated to reflect the rule changes? I know that there's a bit of red tape involved, so I'm not getting my hopes up on it happening any time soon. However, I figured that it'd be a worthwhile suggestion based on the...

Exactly. You make the base class Psychic, and then use the old names for the subclasses instead of this Order nonsense. Order of the Awakened = Erudite Order of the Immortal = Psychic Warrior Order of the Soul* = Wilder *hypothetical third subclass because they usually come up with at least 3...

I still think that the name sucks. Mystic sounds like the name of a spontaneous casting Druid. The old names for psionic classes work better.

Sentinel is the perfect feat for a Druid + Monk/Barbarian that's paired up with a PC with Mounted Combatant. That's the premise behind my PC Jh'mi D'behr, aka Asbestos Bear thanks to a ring of fire resistance. Enemy tries to melee attack mount, partner redirects attack to self, enemy eats a...
