I am looking at subclass options for my 2nd level half elf Rogue in a campaign I am playing. I was thinking Assasin but I keep reading how awful it is. So far he is the gadget guy and face in the party, with a ton of proficiencies, and a 14 Charisma and 16 Dex. he only has a 10 constitution...

Yes they did fail if that was the intent. If they really intended for the Rogue to have SA every single turn then the PHB is poorly worded. What it should say is: "Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe's distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6...

Your Rogues never disadvantaged from being poisioned or frightenend? Your enemies never take dodge when they can see you? You never fight displacer beasts or any other creature like that? Are you never pron?. Are your enemies never prone when you are using a missile weapon? Are your enemies...

I would say long range shooting fights are not rare but are uncommon, and fights where you can get to the enemy in 1 round are common but still a minority or at best a plurality of total fights. There are going to be lots of times when it is the Rogues turn and there is not an ally adjacent to...

If you are standing next to the wall though your reach extends into the wall, so they are inside the wall before they leave it no? IF you think if this with a square grid - there are 8 squares surrounding you and your reach extends into all of them. The square to your left is a wall. The...

I am proficient in heavy crossbow. Rogues regularly get to apply SA damage, just not 95% of the time like you opined earlier, especially when you amortize that number across all the battles they will fight, with all the weapons they will be using and all the conditions and situations they will...

They had bows and were shooting back in the begining of the fight. 60' a round is still over half the battle before I am no longer at long range (and by the way I did use BA dash quite a bit, while the Paladin was using dash as an action). I said I did not want to give up a shot to use double...

V human or custom lineage is what I would go with. Out of those you mentioned I would take tiefling. Not a fan of the others personally.

I disagree with this for three reasons. First barring feats or another multiclass he is hitting 26AC for exactly 2 rounds a day, factoring misses against AC21 it is probably the equivalent of 5-10 rounds but hardly all the time. Second, without magic you need to take defense fighting style...

You mention Fast and Furious and by most accounts Vin Diesel is a huge D&D fan. You would think he would be clamoring for a shot in the movie. Frankly I don't think this movie is going to turn out great. Hopefully I am presently surprised.

Some of the 1E Dragonlance characters were horrible. Raistlan and Tika come to mind as favorites with terrible stats. Raistlan had I think 7 hp at 3rd level.

Well said. Thank you for the correction.

My memory may be failing but I think this was 1E. In 2E a Rogue decided what abilities to invest in, so he could be much better than 10% at disarming traps at level 1.

It is good. It is not nearly as good as 5E but it is better than 3E IMO. 2E is very close to 1E in a lot of respects and it cleaned up some of the things in 1E. I like the 2E classes and races better, but in most other respects I like 1E better. When I played it, it was early in 2E and we...

I think this is misleading for a couple reasons: 1. You are assuming the GWM fighter gets to attack with his heavy weapon every turn. That is not a good assumption because even in a dungeon environment he is going to have to take dash to get to another enemy or make ranged attacks every now...

Dodge certainly does stop SA from a hidden archer unless there is an ally within 5 feet of them. If you do not have advantage or an ally within 5 feet you don't get SA and dodge will cancel all advantages regardless of how many there are. Now if they do have another ally within 5 feet sure it...

1. 300 feet are rare, but 150 feet are not and that 1st attack on a 150ft engagement is usually going to be either with disadvantage or without any other way to get SA. Assuming you do not get SA that first attack you would need 19 more rounds all with SA to bring that up to 95% and very few...

Bounded accuracy means thing like armor class, difficulty checks for skills and such does not increase with levels and things like attack rolls and saving throws increase little .... i.e. they are bounded. This means classes get better at things they are specailized in but they don't get...

I disagree with that. They have disadvantage more than 5 percent of the time they are rolling damage and that stops SA regardless of the other conditions. After disadvantage, you do not get SA damage unless you are using a ranged or finesse weapon, meaning if you are throwing oil, casting a...
