I have no issue with that.

For Fighter with a 1 level dip in Monk, it's a great boost for up to Fighter level 4 (character levels 2-5), but collapses after that. If you're going for two-weapon fighting, picking up Dual Wielder gets you the same benefit as the Monk dip, and it ends up being a wash, or better for the...

Somehow that's even worse. That means the owlin is gyrating and contorting like some sort of punk band member in a performance for the dragon, alongside the human that, given the context, is doing that thing of holding his instrument out in front of him while playing, which makes no sense for...

Is the owlbear hugging a lute?

Requoting the fighting style: Requoting from the feat: Dual Wielder only gives you the extra attack when you attack with a weapon that has the Light property. Thus, the extra attack is the result of using a weapon that has the Light property. That's precisely what Two-Weapon Fighting applies...

Wait, stupid mistake. Shining Smite is a 2nd level spell, but since it's on a paladin, that means min level of 5, not 3.

Shining Smite: A Smite spell that uses concentration and lasts 1 minute. 2nd level spell, so available from level 3 5. - Until the spell ends, the target sheds Bright Light in a 5 foot radius, attack rolls against it have Advantage, and it can't benefit from the Invisible condition.

Crusher feat: When you score a Critical Hit that deals Bludgeoning damage to a creature, attack rolls against that creature have advantage until the start of your next turn. Available from level 4, when you can get the feat.

That's hilarious, and now I wanna do it. Just depends on if the grapplee counts as a Versatile weapon or a Two-Handed weapon. You can hold 'em with one hand, but can you wield them with one hand?

There have been a lot of changes in how dual wielding works in the 2024 rule set. This post is my attempt to consolidate all the ways it works now. Setup For the purposes of this post, I'll be using a Fighter 5/Rogue 2 character, so it will have the features I want to demonstrate. So as not to...

I put together a few custom background ideas. These are built mostly on a theme of "apprentice". We don't have info on if or how custom backgrounds might be put together, but the basics seem pretty easy. I don't see any reason the DMG wouldn't allow it. Just need to focus on the...

That's kind of what I was thinking of. The "Kraft Lawrence of Spice and Wolf" kind of archetype. But, while I considered that, Navigator's Tools don't really apply (aside from whatever their Utilize functionality may be). There's lots of travel town to town, but those are fixed routes. You know...

Summary of Backgrounds: Summary of my impression of them, absent any attempt at optimization or evaluation of the origin feats: Acolyte - Everything makes sense. Wouldn't change it. Artisan - All but skills make sense. Not that many other skills would make sense, though, so whatever...

Barbarian uses Primal Knowledge to use Strength for stealth check to Hide. Barbarian rips tree out of the ground to carry with him so he'll always have cover. Guards carefully edge around the tree in the middle of the castle hallway. "Nope, didn't see anything."

Can you check the write-up for barbarian's Brutal Strike? I've heard a couple different explanations of what it finally ended up as in the PHB, and would like to be sure.

Little bit of craziness... Sorcerer 10 + Wizard 9 + Warlock 1 9th level Conjure Minor Elementals lasting 20 minutes (Extended) 258 casual damage if you only need cantrip-level attacks. 300-550 damage using upcast Scorching Ray (between 4th and 8th level slot) if you need dragon-killing...

A slight diversion examining the Invisible condition. Types of Invisible: Unseen. Magical invisibility from spells or other features can make it so that you can't be seen with normal vision. Can be lost if you make an attack roll. Can be lost if you cast a spell. NB: Can be bypassed with...

@OB1 I would consider that mostly reasonable, except the auto-find in bright light. Simple example: A monster is in the center of a field, and you're hidden behind a rock. You want to make it to a nearby tree. If the monster if facing away, this should be doable, even in bright light. If the...

My argument is that the Stealth check to Hide satisfies the incidental noise requirement for remaining hidden, but not the voluntary actions of the player/character. Incidental noise is the footsteps of you walking, the clanking of your armor, the jostling of your backpack, your breathing, etc...

So for this example, I'd approach it from the opposite direction. Your rogue is trying to get to the Altar of Doom, and a couple turns in the head priest realizes that there are only three people fighting, when there are supposed to be four. "Where's the fourth interloper? Everyone! Some...
