    D&D 5E (2024) Bringing Back A Prestige Class?

    With feats and subclasses, there are enough ways to customize characters. No need for prestige IMO. Ranger could be a feat anyone can take. Ranger: +1 Dex, Str, Wis, or Con *explorer: gain expertise in nature and survival *hunter: you can cast Hunter's Mark at-will. You can also cast it on tracks

    How does Prolong stacks with Sorcerer's Extended metamagic? Can we get 48 hour spells?

    once you can hit everyone in the room, extra size (or range) doesn't help. And in my experience, Spirit Guardians can hit everyone most of the time. Expanding it might save a Disengage or Dash now and then, but not usually worth the cost IMO. Extra duration however, turning 1 minute into 1...

    D&D General Poll: How many Role Playing Games do you play besides D&D?

    Only D&D, at the moment. Certainly would play any of the other ones if I had opportunity.

    everything is at the DMs discretion. well I don't have the book... so no. I didn't see where it says NPCs need higher level slots. That helps prevent some abuse.

    D&D 5E (2024) Circle Casting is gonna break a lot of games

    No. It's an 8th level slot (upcast to target 5), and a few hired NPCs before you the night before ylj leave town. Might as well toss Longstrider, Aid, Feather Fall, Blink, Death Ward, Regeneration, and Foresight while you at it. Possibly others non-concentration buffs I've missed. Then take a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Circle Casting is gonna break a lot of games

    it's going to be rare to use in combat. But giving the party 24 hours Freedom of Movement at the end of the day can set you up for tomorrow's dungeon crawl. Or 8 hours of Haste, Spirit Guardians, or Fly. Moonbeam or Flaming Sphere for 1 hour is much more useful to drag between combats. Long...

    right, I was thinking warlock 5. I have one of those in my game. no, but it's still damage your adding. Just indirectly. (Or more likely being used for AC boost) You can always go bladelock 6 first if that's better at low levels. Then warlock 2 will be at 2 beams when you get it. Or go...

    Yes. Though EB+ hex+familiar+Repelling Blast isn't exactly bad at low levels. Warlock 2 is enough for that. Valor 6 next, getting 1 weapon+2 beams+3d6 hex + 4d8 bardic inspiration damage per short rest. Still at 18 Cha, but 3 attacks should be decent. Then the rest in Sorcerer. Using slots...

    Haste + Valor Bard still works for more EB, at range. So 12 beams max (8 on turn 1).

    5: sorlock. Quicken Eldritch Blast Possibly combined with a zone or summon. Even after the nerf, and fixing Bladesinger from casting EB, i expect the highest possible DPR is still Conjure Minor Elemental + EB spam. Though i wouldn't count that as ranged attacks.

    That's why I multiplied it by 50%. 40% chance to go first. 50% chance it makes a difference. = 20% Feel free to figure out your own %, that's just rough ballpark. It's not going to be doing 2x damage or anything like that.

    then battlemaster dice are not helping either. Since that's extra damage over a limited number of rounds.

    Your comparing ranged fighter to ranged fighter. That eliminates a lot of variables. But yes, you will need to make assumptions to get anywhere. Can't figure out the chance of having Alert and handing your winning initiative to the wizard a percentage of the time that enemies are in fireball...

    not if your ally gets to save resources. If you have 2 enemies with 50hp, you need to deal 100 damage. If you have 1 enemy with 100HP, you need to deal 100 damage. Same damage delt. It does change damage the party took. why wouldn't it?
