Only if you have a high casting stat. :p

Oh yes it does, it is the attack specifically that does the damage, NOT the weapon. The attack itself breaks the laws of physics according to the spell. Guided by a flash of magical insight, you make one attack with the weapon used in the spell’s casting. The attack uses your spellcasting...

I would disagree with this. I think most multiclassing is to make a unique concept. Also when talking about power that varies quite a bit by level. If you look at character level from 1-20 a multiclass character will be more powerful at some levels and less powerful at others compared to a...

So again - you don't think a dagger damaging you with Holy Energy and Searing Radiation "ignores mundane physics laws"

I think your point about 4E hit the mark, but I also think it is telling in a way you might not have considered. This entire idea rests on the premise that players would prefer a game where "I win" was not available. I think that basic premise is false. As you noted 4E was extremely...

I multiclass all my casters. if you multiclass into another full caster you don't lose any spell slots and in 2024 rules you won't on a 1-level dip in Paladin or Ranger either. There are some great 1st level spells that scale extremely well so you should not really be losing much even if you...

Out of the hundred or so PCs I've played in 5E only one PC that I played past level 3 did not multiclass (that PC was a Kender Conquest Paladin who ended at level 7). I find multiclass characters to be far more fun and versatile in play. There are tradeoffs certainly, but I find weaknesses can...

I find DMs create a DC based on a situation and how a fight is going and the good DMs are good at doing this. Hired mercenaries in it for the money who are losing - low DC, phanatical culitists who don't care if they die - high DC, Fiend you are going to banish anyway if you beat him -...

By your own interpretation it doesn't. You said above that an attack needs to say the words "spell attack" to be a spell attack and anything does not use those words is not a "spell attack". Back on post 42 you said: "To be a spell attack, it needs to say melee spell attack or ranged spell...

So an attack from my dagger dealing radiant energy from the heavens doesn't break the laws of physics?

The part you quoted doesn't say what is in red and it is a stretch to draw this conclusion, I would also say Truestrike is an attack roll made as part of a spell. Moreover, I will point out that Innate Sorcery feature itself does NOT say "spell attack" so if something "needs" to say to say the...

Well you are making an attack with Chill Touch and Firebolt too and any spell that requires an attack roll. "You have Advantage on the attack rolls of Sorcerer spells you cast." If that doesn't apply to attacks you make with spells then what does it apply to?

There is no such distinction in the 2024 rules.

So does Truestrike.

I just remember playing Battlesystem modules back in the 80s where you do part of the adventure and then there was a battle in the middle of and when the battle was going on everyone at the table was like - can we just get back to playing D&D now. It is a very particular group this works for.

I would disagree with this. In 3.5E with no bounded accuracy someone could start out good at a skill and by 10th level they sucked at it ..... what happpened 3 weeks ago I could bluff everyone and my Disguises were the cat's meow. Now I am fooling no one [because I put no points in Disguise...

IME it is completely the opposite. In a pirate themed campaign every PC is either an aquatic race or an aquatic subclass.

Battlesystem would work mechanically, the issue though is that is a different kind of game. D&D is character focused and Battlesystem is more about the army/battle. It would have to be a specific kind of group for this to be effective and fun. I remeber when battlesystem was new and Gygax was...

I am working up a character who is going to be a Scion of the Dead 3 Rogue. I have some of her backstory together - basically she was intended to be sacrificed as a child but was saved by a group of adventurers right before she was about to be killed. As far as the campaign goes Bane works a...

While this is true most beligerents view another countries "privateers" as pirates.
