"A lot of popular subclass rankings look analytical on the surface, but the method behind them is fundamentally flawed." -Some Guy What are Report Card Rankings? Essentially when a class/subclass/build is scored separately in various 'subjects' on a set list, much like a report card. Final...

2024 Rogues are not proficient with any ranged weapons. No Shortbow or Light Crossbow proficiency. EDIT: Nevermind, just realized the rule can be readed as "Simple Weapons" and "Martial weapons with finesse or light properties".

Campaign Currently I am playing a campaign where I am a Wizard and a friend is a Sorcerer. Last session we just hit level 4 and I thought I'd share my impressions so far. But first here's some necessary background. The campaign is set a bit post apocolypic. Something happened, the sun turned...

The Answer I'd rather be interesting than right. A common question is whether Wizards or Sorcerers are better. This must be because Wizards and Sorcerers are so very similar. The true answer is that it depends on the campaign and the character level and progression range being analyzed. Yet...

I looked at SAP Mastery and I found the following to be good estimates of it's value in the following situations. 1 incoming attack ~62% damage taken 2 incoming attacks ~81% damage taken 3 incoming attacks ~87% damage taken 4 incoming attacks ~90% damage taken Note: These are rules of thumb as...

Clerics get the Thaumaturge feature. Druids get the Magician feature. Both give + wis mod bonus to arcana checks. When multiclassed do you get to add your wisdom modifier twice to arcana checks? EDIT: Made the question more clear.

Hi all, I am trying to create a class ranking system where I primarily take character sheet data and DPR calculations as variables/metrics, normalize those values between 0 and 1, apply weights and obtain a final ranking normalized between 0 and 1. Here's a screenshot of the current results...

Does the Sorcerer's Innate Sorcery feature cause the attack made with the True Strike cantrip to have advantage? Note: the question isn't whether you would allow it at your table, but whether you think it's allowed by the rules. Innate Sorcery An event in your past left an indelible mark on...

Barbarians are more than mere brutes only capable of hitting things with a big stick. They are cunning warriors. This guide is to provide ideas for creating a Barbarian that does more than just big melee damage. Here I'm focusing on mostly lower level abilities, say level 10 and below...

This thread is to post cool 2024 D&D Ranged Builds. I probably won't post my own till level 20 but feel free to do yours that way. Holy Crossbowman Essentially you are a Paladin/Rogue that uses a Heavy Crossbow and focuses on Dexterity and Charisma. Ultimately this makes you a high damage...

For 2024, Assuming you spend your resources on durability, which class do you think is the most durable at level 1 while still maintaining decent offensive output (no dodging in the corner type stuff). I’m thinking. 1. Fighter 2. Barbarian 3. Paladin 4. Cleric What do you all think?

This thread is to post your 2024 D&D encounters you were a bit surprised at the difficulty or ease of. Play by play is not required but important details are encouraged. Level 3 Party vs CR 6 Wyvern Party Zealot Barbarian with Savage Attacker Origin feat and a greataxe. Ranger (not sure...

It seems to me that an accusation of SeaLioning is an accusation of bad faith posting behavior. Normally accusing someone of bad faith is likely to earn one a quick mod. But accusations of sealioning are not typically modded despite being an accusation of a particular kind of bad faith...

What 2024 Subclasses and Classes are you most excited about?

Thread is intended to be a + thread where we optimize caster single target encounter damage and discuss the implications when comparing this with martial damage. The idea is for the + to short circuit all the comments like 'doing damage with a caster is bad' or 'why not control'. Etc. My...

Even if you end concentration the polymorph temp hp stay up for the day. There’s no clause in the spell indicating they end early. So one could give a level 7 pc 157 temp hp (by transforming into a giant ape) and then immediately drop concentration so class abilities can be used, along with...

Vex/Nick Math and info For Vex the next attack hit chances are derived via the formula: (Chance to Hit) = (Base to hit) + (Chance for Advantage)(Base to Hit) - (Chance for Advantage)*(Base to Hit)^2 Where (Chance for Advantage) = (Chance previous attack hit) Working out the algebraic...

Aasimar What I love They have the basics. A way to see in the dark (light cantrip and darkvision, though a bit of redundancy here). They have a really cool daily ability that has some nice built in versatility, from flight to aoe damage to aoe fear, while also providing a damage buff. What I...

Initial Thoughts The new 2024 PHB is quite a bit larger than the old 2014 PHB. It's layout is vastly improved, likely for both new and experienced players alike. Mechanically the races seem much more interesting, but they also seem more magical/supernatural - which might be a good or bad...
