    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 - Do magic weapons bypass resistance now?

    I randomly played an Artificer, which handed out +1 magic weapon buffs. And your assuming the DM had a whole 20 levels planned out, and needs to be aware of Jackalwere before he starts a game. Is it that hard to imagine that a DM might give a magic weapon for completing the first quest, then...

    D&D General Race Has No Mechanics. What do you play?

    There are, of course, other swarm of bees, but I may be the first sentient one. I don't know. However, I am hostile towards stupid swarms (int less than 2). So I kill them and take their nest for my children, and that is the main reason I travel. Hoping that they will grow to be intelligent...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 - Do magic weapons bypass resistance now?

    I'm not. Your missing my argument. that's the issue. The "if" is probably 50/50. The first time you encounterrd them you didn't have a magic weapon. The first time I encountered them I did. And the same thing can be done with Silvered weapons. Or any other more interesting thing that your...

    And if you had a magic weapon it wouldn't of been very interesting. For instance, my first experience with werewolves was 3.5 whej i was playing an Artificer and kept handing out +1 magic weapon buffs. Werewolves just seemed like slightly tougher goblins. No puzzles to solve. I didn't...

    D&D General Race Has No Mechanics. What do you play?

    Either Shardmind or a Swarm of bee's. Because if there are no mechanical issues might as well be exotic. Give myself a role-playing challenge.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 - Do magic weapons bypass resistance now?

    IMO "get magic weapon" was never a puzzle. It's not like going out of your way to find wolfbane, adding silver to your weapons, or coating it in wyvern venom. You would simply use any +1 weapon you could find as soon as you could. Irrelevant of what creature you where against. Also, if your...

    Not that I'm aware of. Even the Rakshasa lost it's weapon resistance, replaced with double the hit points.

    They no longer help beyond the +1. But less monsters have BPS resistance.

    My guess is they just started it. Put the changes out as the next batch goes to the printer. That said, it's still going to take a while before they are in circulation.

    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclassing: Slots and Prepared Spells

    not sure why that matters Eldritch knight/ arcane Trickster draw from the same list, but won't get high level spells. If it's a level you can prepare as a single class wizard. Maybe? I guess it depends on if you consider "replacing" different from "preparing". No idea why that second...

    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclassing: Slots and Prepared Spells

    Correct. As a level 3 wizard would. And a level 3 wizard only has level 2 slots, and thus can only prepare level 2 spells. Multiclass rules don't say anything about casting rituals from your book however. Or replacing spells you already had prepared. But I'm sure the intention is to limit...

    D&D Errata Nerfs Conjuring Spells, Makes Other Changes

    IMO Optimizer: enjoys doing math and puzzles. Power Gamer: enjoys being more powerful than others. You can be one or the other, or both. You can generally tell the difference by suggesting they can play a support build. an optimizer might maximize healing. A power gamer might say no. both they...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 PHB errata thread

    A moment too late, but the wizard subclass Savant features should not say. "The chosen spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots." Should be "A level you can prepare" Because multiclassing.

    Loophole, and I'm sure it's not intended, but .. Evocation Savant "whenever you gain access to a new level of spell slots in this class, you can add one Wizard spell from the Evocation school to your spellbook for free. The chosen spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots."...

    Truestike has an 80' range, 360 with disadvantage. 100' if you get martial weapons. And nothing stops you from swapping to melee if needed. Depens on the party too. I'm in a group with a pike polearm master wild heart barbarian (bonus action dash + disengage, reaction push), and a ranged...

    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclassing: Slots and Prepared Spells

    No. Multiclass rules don't mention the spell book at all. It only indirectly applies with prepared spells, which is the same as an appropriate level wizard.

    I'm not sure i can sell you it as the only damage cantrip, there are just too many ways for it to be useless. But i could definitely see it as a pair. Possibly using it 70% of the time, with sorcerer's burst as the other 30%. And I do wonder about mind sliver as well, for being the most...
