No I don't. With weapon masteries and nick I think they are too good already. They are easy to exploit with Hex or Hunter's Mark that adds damage per attack and they work with smites at Range (Wrathful Smite especially). Usually a ranged character is going to do better damage by using a...

I am really tired of these little adventure releases from WOTC. I want a full hardcover campaign, preferably one that goes through at least level 15. I am afraid this is what we are going to get in Thay too. When was the last time they published a full campaign? I am guessing ROTFM in 2020?

I don't see it as bad. You can still buy all the major books in print.

I think a better way to do it is a 15 Strength, 13 Dex, 17 Intelligence Eldritch Knight with Truestrike. Go to 16 str with GWM, then 18 Int at level 6 with a feat and 20 Int at level 8, then back to strength ASIs. If you really want to max single class and you have Eldritch Adept available as...

I ended up not using it and we won the fight, although I went down, the Cleric went down again (after I healed him) and the Barbarian went down 2 more times. In the loot we found another portable hole ... and two more bags of holding.

Both items have this listed in their descriptions, so I would tend to think this would be included. In any case it did cover it in this instance as it was on the card the DM gave me regarding the items. I agree. Miscibility is not a property of the item, this however is a specific property of...

For me the biggest thing the Artificer brings to the table is the Sanctuary spell on an Intelligence DC. This makes it ideal dip for Wizards.

Well all we need is a temporary solution .... i.e. him not killing us right now. I am sure he will make it back to his lair eventually, although it will probably take him longer than we will be there (those of us that live anyway). If he has a chip on his shoulder he may even hunt us down (or...

Identify spell: "If the object is a magic item or some other magical object, you learn its properties and how to use them, whether it requires Attunement, and how many charges it has, if any." I think this falls under "its properties and how to use them". It is also written on the both cards...

It is an option for me. I have 50 Move + the jump spell (currently not cast but if I wanted to move that is 20 more a turn) + Misty Step. I can probably get away although the way I came is through the Lich. The Monk can as well if he survives until his turn and the Wizard. The other 3 would...

She identified both items.

All true. But action economy works to my favor. He will almost certainly down my companions, his minions won't likely survive that though (at least not the ones he currently has). He does have 9th level spells but he already cast Power Word Kill and Finger of Death, so my guess is he does not...

We ended last Monday in the middle of a fight we were losing. We are 12th level chartacters (Barbarian, Wizard, Rogue/Wizard, Monk/Fighter, Cleric, Celestial Warlock/Fey Wanderer Ranger (me)), We stumbled into a den of 3 Giant skeleton things, about 5 regular skeletons, 5 regular zombies and...

I am not a fan of the Lich subclass. Even if they change the ability. The description of a Lich in the MM5.5 even says they are "nefarious".

Crossbows, daggers and Longbows are not the equivalent of crossbows, daggers and longbows. While chainmail can be somewhat effective against daggers, the entire combat system is not realistic. No one, and I mean no one is going to be perfectly fine after getting shot by 10 crossbow bolts or...

If you are playing 5E rules Greater Invisibility + Spiritual Weapon is pretty awesome. Death Ward is also an awesome spell.

I don't think they had the mathematics, specifically calculus. It is pretty amazing what the Romans were able to do with Euclidian Geometry, in many respects we can't even match that today without resorting to math, but it was not enough for the industrial revolution IMO. Regarding firearms I...

Yeah I agree with the first paragraph, but not the second. IMO the player decides the role of their character in combat and I don't want to be tied to a certain role because that is the fantasy trope. I understand others do like that though, and that is fine. Just because I am the fighter I...

I am not a fan of backgrounds, but I really don't think that has anything to do with multiclassing. Pretty much I always use the custom background, and so do most players I DM for. So it is essentially pick a backstory, which can be anything your imagination (or your AI) can dream up, then...

Blind Fighting by far. It totally changes your PC. I will say, usually when I DM and in one of the games I play there is a houserule that every PC regardless of class gets Two Weapon Fighting at 1st level (I stole the idea from the other DM). For some reason it is impossible to get players...
