    D&D 5E The Grappler's Manual (2.0) - Grappling in 5th Edition

    I was specifically thinking about the moon Druid version of this build, which would lose “trunk.” But sure in person form, it’s a potential third grab target. Not really important for action economy - still costs an attack to grab.

    D&D 5E The Grappler's Manual (2.0) - Grappling in 5th Edition

    Simic Hybrid though is great. Manta glide for when you have no spike growth to drag someone through means you can climb up a building, release the target, then just drop down 100 feet no problem. And grappling appendages lets you do a normal attack then grapple as a bonus, which is pretty...

    D&D 5E The Grappler's Manual (2.0) - Grappling in 5th Edition

    Doesn't change anything. Carrying capacity was never really a limit on the build.

    D&D 5E The Grappler's Manual (2.0) - Grappling in 5th Edition

    I believe that the way the Stacking Rule errata to the DMG works, that Shadows/Wraiths etc are all effectively nerfed to uselessness. Only the largest penalty applies to an ability score, they do not add together.

    D&D 5E Combining Magical Effects

    Im from 2015. :) Thanks though. I know its an old thread, doesn't mean we can't still be interested in it right?

    D&D 5E Combining Magical Effects

    The rest of the PHB quote gives an example of Bless. You only roll the die once. Doesn't matter how many Bless you have in place. One d4. Not 6d4 chose the highest. That said, I do not agree with flaming sphere. The "effect" of the spell is you take damage (instantly). That effect is...

    D&D 5E Song of Rest Abuse?

    The very next sentence of the feature says, "If you or any friendly creature who can hear your performance regain hit points at the end of the short rest, each of those creatures regains an extra 1d6 hit points". So clearly, they need to be present for the short rest (or at least have a...

    D&D 5E Song of Rest Abuse?

    That would be the equivalent of "casting time" not "duration."

    D&D 5E Song of Rest Abuse?

    Except, as I just noted, you should have read the ENTIRE errata - "while their durations overlap". There is no duration of song of rest, it is an instant, it stacks just fine.

    D&D 5E Song of Rest Abuse?

    "Different game features can affect a target at the same time. But when two or more game features have the same name, only the effects of one of them—the most potent one—apply while the durations of the effects overlap." It's like no one ever finishes reading the sentence (including Jeremy...

    D&D 5E Treantmonk's Guide to Wizards 5e

    The Sage Advice Compendium confirms that you can cast two action spells, not Cantrips, if you use action surge. The treantmonk guide indicates the opposite (that you can only cast a cantrip with the action surge).

    Grappler build, looking for Tier 3 leveling advice

    Arcane 8 (take Enlarge Reduce, do not rage for grapple). This gives you the size you need and advantage on checks. Fighter 2: action surge! Dont mess around with Champion, its a trap. Your damage output will always be better with battlemaster (and the prone, grabbed target cannot stand up).

    D&D 5E Adventurer's League Rebuild - Draconic Devotion Swashbuckler

    Agreed on all counts. pre-rebuild, he had more levels of sorceror - adding quicken spell and/twin spell to the mix will make the damage output sky-rocket. works well with warlock too - might consider that if the game goes past 13th level.

    D&D 5E Adventurer's League Rebuild - Draconic Devotion Swashbuckler

    Stealth isn't to get Sneak Attack. I like to work well with my party - Stealth is so we can all get surprise rounds. In my regional play group we all have exp. stealth and we have pass without trace, so we are at +20 or higher on stealth as a team. Performance is just because the character...

    D&D 5E Adventurer's League Rebuild - Draconic Devotion Swashbuckler

    Good catch on warcaster. Draconic resiliance works with a shield. They specifically call out if shields negate a bonus (see Monk "Beginning at 1st level, while you are w earing no armorand not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity m odifier + your Wisdom modifier.)

    Perkins' Foreword From OUT OF THE ABYSS

    Not gonna lie, this sounds super lame. It sounds like they made a land of nightmare and dark into a land of children's stories. Read a Clive Barker novel, then write about the Abyss. Do not take your inspiration from a children's book. PG rated bs. Oh and more Legolas/Drizzt overpowered...
