Now that it's been out for a bit, what houserule do you have for 2024?

What cleric goes best with a skirmisher/ movement control party? I.e. long bow, crossbow, Ray of frost, bonus action disengage, pike + polearm master (Reaction push), web, etc...

So there's always been ideas about making custom spells, but what what about custom martial maneuvers? Any suggestions on how to pull that off?

Random idea i wanted to try, but is there a way to make a decent heavy armored monk?

What's the best spells and features to use with the Cartographer's maps (I.e. though walls/fog). Shadow Monk seems like it could work well. Being able to cast buffs on him while they are in darkness. Fog Cloud on a fighter with blind fighting is another option. But is there better options...

Here are some monster defense statistics.

Fixing the martial / caster divide the easiest way i can think of. By removing some of the spell slots. Also, bumping low levels slots slightly. Level 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 1st 3 - - - - - - - - 2nd 5 - - - -...

It was suggested a few times in the other thread that since the new PDK has little to do with the original lore, but also seems very popular, that ""Purple Dragon Knight" becames a background. Especially since the 3.5 said "Most are fighters, rangers, or paladins, but a few bards, clerics, and...

With the changes to the subclass being about having a dragon, should the subclass name also change? This could also open things up to riding Emerald, Silver, Sapphire, Gold, dragons. Which seems like an easy and fun add. You can still have the Forgotten Realms order be "Purple Dragon Knight".

Now that ability scores are no longer tied to species, what are some anti- stereotypical combinations that should now be played? What where the worst combos before? Like Gnome Beserker Barbarian Orc Illusionist Goliath Assassin Tiefling Life Cleric

I am ranking subclasses on how well classes synergies with a cohesive party. This is not the Tier list if your playing with random people. Life cleric, for instance, will never be a bad choice, but doesn't really combo with anyone else. Meanwhile Thief won't be able to Restrain anyone without...

Can anyone think of a reason to use a blowgun?

Is it possible to get resistance to all damage types? Or how many is possible? acid, bludgeoning, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, piercing, poison, psychic, radiant, slashing, and thunder. Species gives 1 (dwarf for poison seems rarest) Bear Barbarian 3 gives 5 (including 2 any)...

Spell Thief lets you negate a spell effect on yourself, and then get a copy of that spell if the caster fails a saving throw. And a friendly caster can willingly fail a saving throw. Thus, a friendly wizard casts fireball or other AoE and includes you. You use your reaction, they willing fail...

What happens if you cast an emanation spell (i.e. spirit Guardians) "as if you were in ... the other creature's space" ?

Figured this needs it's own thread. Changes to the spell let's it deal damage when it is moved over an enemy, once per turn. Including the clerics turn as well as anyone who wants to grapple the cleric and drag him along.

Thus far I got barbarian 9/Eldrich knight 11. Use a whip before fighter 9, hand axe afterwards, converting the mastery to slow. Sharpshooter for some extra range. Slow Mastery = -10' Slasher feat = -10' Barbarian Hamstring = -15' Ray of frost (Eldrich Knight) = -10'. = -45' of movement with...

CME clearly scales harder than intended when combined with lots of attacks. Mainly Scorching Ray and (quicken) Eldritch Blast. I.e. Cast CME at 9th level, it adds 12d8 per attack Use Eldritch Blast + Quicken Eldritch Blast for 8 attacks. 8d10 +96d8 = 476 damage per round. *Not included...

What change from 2014 to 2024 is your favorite?

You can use opportunity attacks to shove allies 5'. Get a line of pesants... Also with Warcaster, you can use it to cast buffs onthem when they walk past. From the second half of this. This still uses your reaction, but can be helpful in certain circumstances.
