    D&D General I asked AI: "What's the Most Common Cause of Character Death?"

    My Rangers usually wear medium armor. Mostly because I am pushing Wisdom on a Ranger and Medium armor gives you a better AC than light Armor with a 16 Dex. I will say I have never been emotionally devastated by the loss of a pet and I am often using them as a meat shield.

    D&D General I asked AI: "What's the Most Common Cause of Character Death?"

    I don't know I think it is pretty good. I will say the last character I had die was a Barbarian (the only one I ever played) that got disintegrated ..... which is right there at the top of the Barbarian list (Failed saving throw against spells). THis is the only character I had die above level...

    D&D 5E (2024) Practical Build #1. Champion Fighter.

    The great thing with this build is if a different magic weapon drops you use that weapon. You are not taking a feat that locks you into Trident. This is pretty much how all my martial builds are. I will start out with a staff (Shillelagh-topple) or a Flail (Bludgeoning-Sap) or a Greataxe...

    D&D General I wish those new Forgotten Realms books would hurry up...

    Survivors of which ending? Is the Avatar of Bhaal running things in BG now .... that would be a cool campaign!

    D&D General Good min-maxes (no multiclass)

    Using 2014 rules and point buy I think a Goblin Enchantment Wizard is the most powerful single class character possible for a game covering levels 1-20. There are better builds for some levels, and a campaign that has a lot of enemies immune to charm could change this to a different Wizard...

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    If you played a published AD&D adventure with the idea you are going to kill everyone you better be about 5 levels higher than the recommended level range.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rank 5e skills from most useful (1) to least useful (18)

    Of course you don't know. If you knew a high Charisma Rogue with expertise would win every time. This ambiguity is not a problem IMO. If you trust your DM Because it might not be pointless. I've wasted my action on pointless attempts, I've also wasted my action on attempts that failed and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Not upgrading? What version of D&D 5e are you sticking with?

    In a white room yea, but I would add the +5/-10 feats are way overated past around level 7 unless your DM lets you buy magic heavy weapons or purposely puts them around just for your characters and at high levels they need to be good magic heavy weapons if you want to keep up, and if a DM does...

    D&D 5E (2014) Not upgrading? What version of D&D 5e are you sticking with?

    The 2024 Monk is more powerful than any of the 2014 martial classes (casters and non-casters) at nearly every level and better than 2014 full casters at most levels. So yes I would say it is "OP" compared to other 2014 classes. Compared to other 2024 classes, overall from level 1-20 it is...

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    So now we have two things we need to pin down before the takeover: 1. Do female Dwarves have beards 2. Is it possible to shave a Dwarf

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    So does every attack Cantrip. Also if it was a buff you could use it with extra attack.

    D&D General Should you Multiclass?

    If I had one thing I would change about multiclassing it is doing away with the ability minimums. If I want my 8 Strength Rogue to grab a couple Barbarian levels or Paladin levels that should be an option. The whole ability minimum thing really gets in the way a lot. After playing BG3 I...

    D&D General Should you Multiclass?

    On a one-level dip I think you are better with a Ranger or Paladin so you get a caster level. On a Wizard, Sorcerer or Bard you stay on track for spell progression. On a Warlock it gives you a couple 1st level spell slots so keeping Hex is a lot more palatable. The Paladin also gives you...

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    It is pretty straightforward. I don't know how it helps for Shield, but it definitely helps on Enlarge/Reduce. If you are a 3rd level Sorcerer with a 20 Charisma your DC on the Constitution save is 15 for Enlarge/Reduce. If you activate innate Sorcerery first it is 16. I don't read that...

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    How does that contradict anything I've said? The rules say what the rules say and the rules say attacks can cause damage and the damage in the case of Truestrike defies the laws of Physics. I agree it is talking about the ATTACK doing damage if you hit. It says "attack" explicitly and the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    Nothing in innate sorcery limits the ability based on the target of the spell.

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    To start with, specific beats general, in the Truestrike spell the "attack" can cause Radiant damage and that overrides anything that would contradict in in the general section about attacks. However the section on attacks does not contradict it, it acctually affirms it. You should the very...

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    Did you read it? The attack does Radiant damage, that is what the spell says. It does not say if the weapon does damage, it says if the attack does damage. You can change it to the mundane weapon damage, but it is still according to the description in the spell the attack itself that is doing...
