    D&D 5E (2024) Epic Boons Ranking

    That’s too soon IMHO. In my mind, there is a wide gulf between level 20 characters and gods. That gulf is made up of a lot of epic levels.

    D&D 5E (2024) Breaking The Eldritch Knight (Eberron)

    Wow, I think I need to ask for some refunds over here 🤣

    D&D 5E (2024) Breaking The Eldritch Knight (Eberron)

    That sounds reasonable. I think it would also have been plenty strong enough if it were 1 slot per long rest, TBH.

    D&D 5E (2024) Breaking The Eldritch Knight (Eberron)

    Well… the Knowledge Cleric gets to do the free spell slot per short rest thing on a very limited list of Divination spells. It’s pretty nice, but more of a utility feature. The one thing about that which is pretty strong is not needing material components for Identify. That’s like an infinite...

    D&D 5E (2024) Breaking The Eldritch Knight (Eberron)

    Wow. I thought Magic Initiate was strong. Kinda like being half of a level 1 Wizard for the cost of a feat. But this Dragonmark stuff is off the hook. It’s like being a half of a 9th level Warlock for the cost of 2 feats 🤯

    Holy moly. That is so OP 🤪

    D&D 5E (2024) Breaking The Eldritch Knight (Eberron)

    I must have missed something, but how does the EK get to cast CME at level 7? They should only be getting 2nd level spells at EK 7, and CME is 4th level, which EKs get at level 19.

    D&D 5E (2024) How I Would Do 5.75

    I think countering spells could be made way more interesting. Mage on mage fights should be awesome, terrifying and mind boggling all at once. I’m thinking of something along these lines: 1. Counterspell is no longer a 3rd level spell. Instead it becomes a cantrip, BUT, it works differently...

    D&D 5E (2024) Epic Boons Ranking

    You make some good points. I too like how PCs get more skilled, which is represented via class features, feats, etc. I also agree that I prefer NPCs to be built like PCs (at least important NPCs or bosses should be, while it can be a fine shortcut to use the monster-like NPCs for less important...

    D&D 5E (2024) Epic Boons Ranking

    I hear ya. It’s certainly nice to pursue that "wow factor". That is why, personally, I prefer taking half-feats that give my characters cool new abilities, even though objectively not all of these feats are actually that good, and a +2 stat might often be stronger. On the other hand, I think...

    Wow. And then she had really thrown absolutely everything at this guy :ROFLMAO:

    D&D 5E (2024) Epic Boons Ranking

    That's fair, although it may also be fair to ask whether Fortitude is not sufficiently stronger than Tough, or Tough is too close to the strength of an Epic Boon :p ... In any case, the way I see it, a character who's general theme is toughness should probably have both Tough and Fortitude (and...

    D&D 5E (2024) Epic Boons Ranking

    I’d love to see this! But I would like an equivalent to the 3e Epic Level Handbook even more. I think those were the best epic rules I’ve seen from any edition. In 4e, epic levels 21-30 were baked into the core rules with comprehensive content, but I didn’t like 4e in general for other reasons…...

    D&D 5E (2024) Epic Boons Ranking

    So… the number of big fights per day was brought up, but it seems we came to opposite conclusions 😅 … Recovery gives two effects that work just once per long rest. It has been argued (cogently, I would say) that the size of these two benefits is a bit bigger than what Fortitude gives. I think...

    D&D 5E (2024) Multi-Cantrip Build: 3 / round with BS Extra Attack, EK War Magic and Haste? (5 with Action Surge?)

    Well, a wand of fireball can always be a good supplement in any shootout. Makes me think of the guy with the grenade launcher in Predator’s wall of lead scene 🤣

    D&D 5E (2024) Epic Boons Ranking

    Interesting discussion (including the subsequent posts) about the comparison between these two boons. I think one factor which wasn’t mentioned but will probably make everyone go "duh" is: how many big fights per day do you have? Obviously, the feat which provides abilities once per long rest...

    How can I bid on the contract to let them use my backyard next time they need a place to dump $999 cards? 🤗
