    D&D 5E (2024) 2nd level casters are disappoint

    I'd be grabbing Entangle and Goodberry ;)

    D&D General I asked AI: "What's the Most Common Cause of Character Death?"

    That's not how we read 2014 dominate. Though the examples it gives leads one to believe that it must be an explicit action the creature has. Kill Target X would seem to be a valid dominate command just by the rules text.

    D&D General Does Cleric/Druid get 2x wis bonus to Arcana checks?

    I couldn’t find an emanation rule that said that. I think it’s just the normal stacking spell effects from the same spell rule. Though it’s not clear that should apply to separate instances of spirit guardians doing damage at separate times.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2nd level casters are disappoint

    Rangers don’t get Entangle in 2024. Otherwise I would have said yes! Sleep is extremely small aoe and does nothing on a successful save. Entangle creates difficult terrain in a decent aoe which can serve many purposes. Sleep also has repeated saves, entangle requires an action to break free...

    For a Paladin, Dominate Person verbal command = Kill that target = attack and smite? Seems reasonable to me.

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    What makes a cantrip a warlock or sorcerer one?

    D&D 5E (2024) Which class is the most durable (level 1)?

    Enemies cannot move 100ft behind a wall?

    D&D 5E (2024) Which class is the most durable (level 1)?

    It's not about preventing allies being attacked, it's about you being durable. If they attack you instead of your familiar then you aren't durable even if your familiar ultimately ends the encounter after your dead.

    D&D General Does Cleric/Druid get 2x wis bonus to Arcana checks?

    That's an interesting one to me with 2024 rules. In 2014 where the damage was dealt at the start of their turn it was easy. But now. What if there 2 spirit guardians. 1 level 3 slot and 1 level 4 slot. Let's say there's no overlap and space between their areas. Shouldn't an enemy moving...

    D&D 5E (2024) Which class is the most durable (level 1)?

    Right, it was a great idea. That said, I think it does even more for the fighter. So potentially that over tough (though that may mean backgrounds granting stats and magic initiate may not align so well). IMO blade ward can often be precast. So it's not like it would be an action every...

    D&D 5E (2024) Which class is the most durable (level 1)?

    They can always attack you instead of your familiar.

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    Assuming we are correct that Innate Sorcery works with True Strike then it would seem agonizing Blast and Repelling Blast do as well. Note: a Fighter with a heavy crossbow and push mastery and crossbow expertise feat can push the enemy back up to 20ft a turn with archery styles +2 attack, and...

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    'Make an attack with the weapon.... Use your spell casting ability for the attack and damage rolls...' Yes. I think so.

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    This might possibly make it clear it would work with innate sorcery without any other changes. True Strike: You have a flash of insight and strike with your weapon. Make a spell attack. On a hit deal damage equal to the weapons damage dice + casting mod used for this spell. The damage can...

    D&D 5E (2024) Practical Build #1. Champion Fighter.

    @Zardnaar I like Piercer okay. Piercer+Savage Attacker+Polearm Master + Pike + Push seems like the best melee way to utilize piercer. Note piercer and savage attacker also work on the reaction attack (can get 2 rerolls this way). Letting you reroll 2 attacks damage die on your turn and your...

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    Because in the case of a low int fighter using true strike, those magical insights are worse than his natural instincts. Shillelagh is a good point IMO. It's worded very similar. I'd be curious to hear the logic as to why attacks with Shillelagh aren't attacks with a spell. I don't think...

    D&D General I asked AI: "What's the Most Common Cause of Character Death?"

    For the AI answers. I think it did a fabulous job. Like if a person was actually expected to speculate on the answers I think it's answers are in line with what a real person might have said. If you just want it to be all star-trek Data and say we don't have the needed data to answer that...

    D&D General I asked AI: "What's the Most Common Cause of Character Death?"

    Fun anecdote. I was in a campaign. Our Paladin was an absolute dual-wielding beast. Out of all the PC's the Paladin was Dominated and then proceeded to smite the rest of the party down 1 at a time. It was sad and glorious all at the same time.

    In general you can get the best medium armor long before you can max dex. AC from level 1 to 7 scales up faster with medium armor even though they eventually land in the same place.
