    D&D 5E My powergamer players wants to be a bard.

    I think if any of my friends ever went this hardcore in min/maxing in my campaigns, they would find themselves rolling every aspect of their character until spell selection, then I would assign spells based off the background rolled.

    D&D 5E My powergamer players wants to be a bard.

    Hey OP, one loophole/powerful class ability I would watch out for is your player using the Magical Secrets ability to pick up some powerful Paladin or Ranger spells before your campaign may be balanced for them. For instance, the Aura of Vitality spell is not available to Paladins until 9th...

    D&D 5E The Bard: College of Lore or Valor?

    D&D 5E The Bard: College of Lore or Valor?

    I have been mulling this one over for a week or so now, and since the answer is so subjective maybe I will just offer two criteria I consider when weighing my options. 1. Campaign setting and party make up matter way less as external factors to consider than does what kind of DM you have...
