Looks like it should work per the RAW. RAI might be another issue.

Int isn't necessary for a warlock in general, although if it's important to your character concept, use the idea mentioned above of putting 2 build points each into Int and Wis. SCAG = Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide. Just came to market this week, US$ 39.95, CAN$ 50.95, not available as a pdf.

I like the idea of letting the player choose the two main schools of magic, which would also provide a little more variety among EKs.

OMG. This has the combined flavor of a hybrid beholder/invisible stalker stuffed into armor. I would hate to be a player in your higher level adventures (unless, of course, we PCs actually managed to beat this nightmare, in which case I'd be bragging about it for years!).

I really like your work on converting Al Qadim to 5e. The only change I've made for my home-world campaign is to bring Gen Servant a little more in line with the other 5e warlock patronage Expanded Spell lists. Since the spells granted will differ from Noble Genie to Noble Genie, like you, I...

Rolling all those d4s does increase the minimum amount of damage done. It ain't all bad.

This is a nasty piece of work; thank goodness for the low hit points. First, which edition did you use to convert this from? Per the DMG, AC = 10 + Dex mod + natural armor, in this case giving a natural armor of +11. That's off-the-charts in 5e; an iron golem has only AC 20 including its...

I downloaded your all-backgrounds pdf. Impressive stuff. Especially nice is the Parent background; I love it when a player creates a character with family complications.

I like it. It both compares and contrasts with the Revenant racial option from DnD 4e; the 4th paragraph opens a door to a 5e version of that, which was sort of a template overlaid on whatever your race had been before you died. The Neverwinter books included information about a thieves'...

Yes, you can. In fact, now that I've reached a certain age graphic, I no longer need my Geezer Training Wheels. You can have them for free. :heh:

For me, the "never mind - deleted" moments are included in the set of "senior moments".

Some questions: For class balance, are these features replacing other sorcerer class features? Can this be re-shaped into a sorcerous origin, or do you feel it needs to be available to all sorcerers? Are these features gained at character creation, or are they gained as the sorcerer levels up...

I'd just suggest using the sheet from the Starting Kit. Ignore the sections you do not want to use, and as the players get more comfortable with the game, introduce other concepts "organically" as situations come up within the adventure that the "new thing" on the character sheet would be...

The rulebooks keep missing the true property of the pike in that it is a Large weapon that can only be used as a polearm if it is frozen first. In its natural, unfrozen state, it is more properly considered as a Greatsap (1d10 bludgeoning damage). On a very hot day, it has additional...

I like this. My only quibble was starting Iaijutsu Strike with a d12 superiority die at 6th level; at first glance that seemed too big a die. Since it is just a single die at 6th level, compared to the four d8s a fighter would have at that level, I worried too much. Hmmm. Two d12s for the...

After the thieves' tools and the herbalism kit, my third kit, along with a PC with the proficiency to use it, would be the leatherworker's. As part of the regular rests, it would be useful for mending many of the sundry items, packs, footwear, and such that the party members use.

DEFCON 1 has proficiency and expertise in Sneaking Suspicion.

A green flaming whip? That strikes me as so cool that if I was your DM I'd grant it.

A well-rounded 5th level PC (there may well be better builds out there): Human standard build with starting ability raises applied: Str 11 Dex 16 Con 13 Int 13 Wis 13 Cha 13. PC level 1, Rogue 1: Gains 6 proficient skills from class and background, 2 of the skills with expertise; sneak attack...

Your central question is beginning to filter through my thick skull. I'm going to take an experimental stab at creating a few "multi-multiclass" PCs with different class combinations just to test it out. This is going to take awhile, so it might be some time before I get back to you on this...
