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

    I don't have an issue with psions casting "spells" so much as them using "spell slots" to do it. Monk makes more sense IMO. Flurry of Befuddlement Patent Thought Step on the Wits Deflect Attention Stunning Sanity Heightened Focus Delect Enthusiasm Perfect Focus

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

    "Healing Poultice" to sound a bit more fantasy?

    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...
