One thing to note - Polearm Master reactive strike is not an opportunity attack so if he ever comes up against an NPC/Monster who is really good with a Polearm he may be surprised that they can attack him when he first comes within 10' of them.

Also, this is the first Sage advice entry under Monsters for the 2024 rules:

My initial understanding was similar to yours. However, someone pointed out that the stat blocks add to the list of available actions and do not restrict the list of available options (unless explicitly stated). Per the Monster Manual 2025: Per Sage Advice - referring to taking the attack...

I have been looking for ways to make the Steel Defender (SD) more useful/powerful and trying to think of creative builds that use the Homunculus Servant (HS) as well as Flying Mechanical Wonder (FW) more interesting than simple Wand of Magic Missile turrets. I was wondering if it might be worth...

I wish there were some feats that worked better with firearms. Anything besides these that works well with firearms? Dual Wielder (lets you attack with hand-crossbow w/ability mod + Pistol w/o ability mod) Savage Attacker (two rolls, highest damage) Sentinel (I suppose would give you extra...

Sadly, not at this point. I asked about that but developer said not yet.

Thank you - yes, I forgot to put Subclass and was thinking of Fiend for a front-line damage dealer to constantly recoup Temporary HPs. Armor of Agathys would be highly complementary (amazing that it does not require concentration). I am basically playing around with this build to help me learn...

Thanks. Yes, good idea - I have not done that exactly. It is little things like Spell modifiers, passive perception, etc... that I want to be sure I did not calculate wrong. I did use Chat GPT to calculate damage numbers for a while but found it was making too many mistakes (often using 2014...

I was playing with my son's character (well his ability scores) and moved the lowest score to Int when I decided to try out Greatsword so he had over 13 Str. EDIT: I think the DPRCalc system would take into account that disadvantage (it seems to catch all the various modifiers and other nested...

Thank you. I have only been back at DND for the past few weeks but have been cramming as much as I can into my head. I have been playing around with my other son's build (the Warlock) more since I can set everything up on DNDBeyond and test the impact of various Feats, weapon masteries, etc...

So many builds on Youtube use a Point Buy method. I understand why but for those of us rolling dice, it is relatively common to get at least 1 initial score of 16-18 which allows a much more rapid progression to a SAD build (Single Ability Dependent) and allows more focus on Feats instead of...
