    D&D 5E (2024) 2nd level casters are disappoint

    Kind of, but the waking is 0-1 net actions per enemy slept. Depends on initiative order of the creature slept and the one doing the waking.

    D&D 5E (2024) Which class is the most durable (level 1)?

    Right. I’d forgotten that prerequisite. More effective probably. More durable? That’s not what durability is. My argument was based on 12 temp hp from fiendish vigor making the temp hp from AoA pointless. How so?

    D&D 5E (2024) Which class is the most durable (level 1)?

    So to stop this pointless back and forth because there’s nothing inherently wrong with the idea of warlock using a strong familiar and staying out of the way. The only thing wrong is trying to force that concept into a durability discussion. It’s literally not what durability means in any sense...

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

    Especially since rogues get steady aim. -1 at 50% accuracy is a much bigger deal than -1 at 75% accuracy after advantage.

    Woot!!! There it is! My bad. So yes. IMO Ranger is almost certainly the best level 2 class. EDIT: Take this back, it's warlock, but ranger is #2 IMO. Something like archery style, heavy crossbow, push mastery and entangle for combat. Goodberries from the night before. Well for quite a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Which class is the most durable (level 1)?

    Durable doesn't mean I substitute an army tank in my place to prove I'm durable. Da heck? Durably doesn't mean 'survive the longest rounds even when not being attacked'...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2nd level casters are disappoint

    Yep, but at level 1 it's just not great, mostly because martials do enough damage now to wreck. Probably. More characters have decent hard control spells by level 5 or so. Makes locking enemies down much easier. This is true. Though Wizards/Druids with Summon Spells can hold their own in...

    D&D 5E (2024) Which class is the most durable (level 1)?

    @mellored Just wanted to add, I don't think anyone seriously considers being 100ft from combat hiding behind a wall a measure of character durability. It just doesn't align with the basic premise, despite being a perfectly fine tactic to employ in an actual game.

    D&D 5E (2024) Which class is the most durable (level 1)?

    Yea. That's fair. I don't presume it's always up precombat like the cast every minute cheese. I do assume that there will be opportunities to precast it, but that's assuming more exploration style encounters. One could presumably cast it before any conversation began and it might last till...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2nd level casters are disappoint

    Any single target control spell is like that when you get multiple casters with it. We did similar at a bit lower levels with Tasha's Hideous Laughter and two 2014 Wizards. It became known as Tasha's Hideous Dragon Slayer. First Dragon we encountered proceeded to fail all the saves it made...

    D&D General Does Cleric/Druid get 2x wis bonus to Arcana checks?

    Did I read 2024 spirit guardians right? It lost the movement restriction?

    There's not really a way to spam it at level 1 unless your whole party has it or something. But yea, by CR 13 you should have enough slots to spam it.

    I'd be grabbing Entangle and Goodberry ;)

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

    That's not how we read 2014 dominate. Though the examples it gives leads one to believe that it must be an explicit action the creature has. Kill Target X would seem to be a valid dominate command just by the rules text.

    D&D General Does Cleric/Druid get 2x wis bonus to Arcana checks?

    I couldn’t find an emanation rule that said that. I think it’s just the normal stacking spell effects from the same spell rule. Though it’s not clear that should apply to separate instances of spirit guardians doing damage at separate times.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2nd level casters are disappoint

    Rangers don’t get Entangle in 2024. Otherwise I would have said yes! Sleep is extremely small aoe and does nothing on a successful save. Entangle creates difficult terrain in a decent aoe which can serve many purposes. Sleep also has repeated saves, entangle requires an action to break free...

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

    For a Paladin, Dominate Person verbal command = Kill that target = attack and smite? Seems reasonable to me.

    What makes a cantrip a warlock or sorcerer one?

    Enemies cannot move 100ft behind a wall?
