There isn't really much that outright bothers me, but there are a few things that could have been done differently without calling it an outright design flaw. 1) The one exception to this and what I find to be a design flaw is the Ranger and Hunter's Mark. Hunter's Mark should be a Ranger-only...

You're casting a Sorcerer spell and that spell uses a weapon, so I'd say yes.

There have been two reasons why a campaign I was in ended early: 1) And that happened only once, we were in a campaign and just got to the point where nobody was feeling it. Nobody was invested. We just got to the point where pretty much everybody decided that playing a different campaign would...

It depends on what the campaign is and how it is structured. I like to start campaigns at level 1 when the party is supposed to grow together over the adventures of the first few levels. The example with Phandelver that you mention is a great example for this. In other cases, Curse of Strahd...

Which means not the stuff you're doing. I'm not wrong. I was talking to Silam about a 1-20 level build around CME and 9th level spell slots. That was the context and that's the premise of the build. Pay attention! If you want to turn it into something else, you can do that on the side. Even if...

Actually, I got both feats right. Hey, look at that. We disagree on something. Could be, but that was neither my concern nor the basis for what I said to Silam. Your concern about level 7 when you can faceroll practically every encounter regardless of builds or strategy is not mine. Those are...

Bards are still full casters. And I didn't know you belong to the faction that doesn't consider Warlocks full casters. Not really. Eldritch Blast goes by character level, not class level, so there is a time period when casting Eldritch Blast is better. Do you? Do you really? Show me your...

Not a problem really. Like Bladesingers, they are full casters. Spell Sniper to cast Eldritch Blast from melee without disadvantage. But depending on whether you want to dive right into the core mechanic of the build at Warlock 1/Bard 6 or are willing to wait two more levels, you can also delay...

I'm glad you let me know who you sided with. It really changed how I look at things. But yes, if that had been the one and only issue, sure, yeah. But after the 7-attacks-situation and given the situation with Arcane Abeyance and Convergent Future, I can also see that he was conveniently easily...

Yes, because differentiating between something that "sounds achievable" and something that "is achievable", hence acknowledging that two different words have different meanings is "twisting wording". Finally! Again, you're not talking RAW in this thread. You're talking your opinion about RAW...

It's SAD because of Pact of the Blade. You just delay getting to Extra Attack by one level.

It does talk about using Summon Dragon, but what you infer here regarding Telekinesis is on you. I didn't say what you assumed and that should be fairly obvious given that you had to add to change "used Telekinesis" to "used it to use Telekinesis". Why I said that becomes clear when you look at...

Upfront, I have not exactly theorycrafted this, but if I wanted to build something like this and entirely focus on the pony and nothing else, then I would want something that has a) access to CME, b) access to a 9th level slot, and c) as many attacks as possible. The two options that come to...

Let me refer you back to the wording of the spell. It says "The suggestion must sound achievable". It does not say "The suggestion must be achievable." So, none of that is relevant in any way after it has been been shown that it generally can be done. If you want to rule based on "The Charmed...

Which has nothing to do with your contention that one could not make oneself willing. It's been illustrated that you can. If anything, this could fall under the rubric of whether the suggestion does "sound achievable" which could have been a valid point if you had made it, regardless of the fact...

Of course, they are not official rulings. They are just expressing their opinions just like us. In some cases, they spoke with the creators and designers at conventions which may have a little more weight. But either way, whether it's dubious is for everyone to decide by themselves and no one...

Correct! You don't have to accept anything. No one forces you and I frankly don't care what you accept. I makes no difference to me either way. Let me quote the passage again and highlight the relevant part to illustrate why that's wrong: "Autosuggestion is a psychological technique related to...

All I found was a best selling list from 2023. It lists Curse of Strahd, Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, Hoard of the Dragon Queen, Tales from the Yawning Portal, and Ghosts of Saltmarsh as the top 5. No idea how accurate it is, but here's the link: D&D 5E’s Top-Selling Adventures and What It Means for...

Strahd is around 1-10, Tyranny of Dragons is 1-15, Lost Mines & Pandelver and Below, Ghosts of Saltmarsh, and Rime of the Frostmaiden are 1-12, Tomb of Annihilation is 1-11+, Descent to Avernus is 1-13, Princes of the Apocalypse and Out of the Abyss are 1-15, Storm King's Thunder is 1-11, and...

The phenomenon of autosuggestion, as mention earlier, and other related phenomena suggest otherwise. You clearly can make yourself willing. And you can be forced to make yourself willing by outside influences rather than intrinsic motivation, for example to avoid a divorce or keep a job you'd...
