    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on bonus action potions?

    Potion drinking test. Honestly, slapping on a magic bandaid seems more realistic.

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on bonus action potions?

    What i switched to. Potions refill at the start of every day. Thus no worry about wasting them. Obviously I give out far fewer of them than normal. Drinking as an action gives a bigger boost than a bonus action. For instant effect (healing) the action is maximum or rolled as a bonus action...

    D&D General Rogue Subclass: Mastermind (Revised)

    Interesting. Though inspiration has a changed a bit. It's now a reroll, not advantage. Thus stronger. So I would simply it a bit. Level 3: As a bonus action, if you do not have inspiration, you gain inspiration. Once you use this feature you can't use it again until your take a short or...

    D&D 5E (2024) Bringing back the 5th level spell Far Step

    Per WotC update rules, it will still need to be a level 5 spells. But at 5th level, I think buff it slightly to 10 minutes concentration, with upcasting options. I.e. 6th level: concentration 1 hour 7th: increase distance to 90' 8th: concentration until you take a long rest. 9th: no...

    D&D 5E (2024) Bringing back the 5th level spell Far Step

    It's still a valid spell. Nothing stops you from using it.

    D&D 5E (2024) What should the 15th Class be?

    So... smites. Longstride and jump are both non-concentration movement buffs the ranger has. New ranger subclass: Gish. Spells known: searing smite, thunderous smite, Misty Step.

    D&D 5E (2024) What should the 15th Class be?

    The paladin does. Which attacks with spell-imbuned swords. (I.e. banishing smite). Like staggering smite? Or just add some elemental "strike" spells to the ranger.

    D&D 5E (2024) What should the 15th Class be?

    Max damage on a crit, once per short rest. That's a 5% instant death to most creatures, 100% on unconscious targets. Also. All high level rogue can put people unconcious, and then stab them while they are out. Still a subclass.

    D&D 5E (2024) Best Blaster 2025. When 30d6 damage at level 7 Isn't Enough.

    Or dragon sorcerer 17/ Tempest 3. With Transmute metamagic. For a partially maxed Meteor (lightning) Swarm for 20d6+120+5 damage. Tempest don't get any other damage boost, unless you count the 1 extra channel divinity at 6 is tempting. They don't even get lightning bolt as a spell (call...

    D&D 5E (2024) Best Blaster 2025. When 30d6 damage at level 7 Isn't Enough.

    Tempest Cleric + Chromatic Orb = auto bounce. Also, I expect a very lucky Wild Sorcerer will beat anyone. I once did Charm Person-> they succeed, +Surge: disadvantage on next spell. Sleep (with disadvantage) -> 2 sleep, one lost a turn +Surge: Max Damage Chromatic Orb (Max): 4d8(max) 32*2...

    Correct. Rogue's still like Commander's Strike.

    D&D 5E (2024) Abusing True Strike 2024

    Biggest abuse is probably on a rogue with warcaster and a friendly Dissonant Whispers or Commander's Strike. But that doesn't really have much to do with summoned weapons.

    D&D General Is this invocation idea reasonable?

    I would drop the Agonizing Blast prerequisite.

    D&D 5E (2024) Abusing True Strike 2024

    It's not that. It's because it's a spell. You can't trade a shadowblade for anything. "If you drop the weapon or throw it, it dissipates at the end of the turn"

    D&D 5E (2024) Abusing True Strike 2024

    Yes. Do note that Truestrike would use Cha to attack with, not Str. Also, 1 level of warlock for Pact of the blade can fix it. Possibly stack with Devotion Paladin, for extra accuracy. No by RAW. Truestrike requires a weapon "that is worth 1+ CP". Shadow Blade isn't worth money, so won't...

    D&D 5E (2024) [+] What does a non-spellcaster Psion need/look like?

    Many classes can get out of being bound and gagged. Druids for instance, just wildshape out of it. Or GOO warlocks, or subtle metamagic. So I don't see it as a big deal. But how about their weakness be metal? Tie their hands and put an metal helmet on them, and they are helpless. There's...

    D&D 5E (2024) Psions, what would the Seer and Shaper look like?

    Seer could be support. Giving advantage and accuracy boost. Possibly be a dodge tank as well. Reducing enemy attacks. prescience warning: reaction when a creature is hit by an attack Reduce the attack by your energy die, potentially causing it to miss. If this attack was against you, you do...

    D&D 5E (2024) [+] What does a non-spellcaster Psion need/look like?

    IMO thinking is more of a continuous activity. You can think harder for a limited time, but push yourself too hard and it causes self harm. Thus my 2 suggestion had at-will effects with points to push above the limit, and spend HD if your past the points. Many other suggestion seem to fall...
