"Just knock it off, please," was my point in the first place. I was reporting Caliban because he has violated the site rules, by making personal attacks, ascribing motives to others, taking cheap shots, and otherwise--though, in point of fact, he blocked me before I could report all of the posts...

There is nothing manipulative about trying to nudge someone toward more civil discourse. But point taken, I will begin reporting your disrespectful posts instead.

At this point, Fanaelielae should be offended. Your responses have been nothing but condescending and manipulative.

"the weapon" - noun phrase, subject - What does the weapon do? "gains" - verb - Okay, the weapon gains what? "a +1 bonus" - noun phrase, direct object - The weapon gains a +1 bonus to what? "its" - possessive pronoun - "The weapon" is pretty clearly the antecedent. "The weapon" possesses the...

I don't see how this invocation can be read to do either of those things. For starters, eldritch blast does not have a material component, so the weapon does not serve as an arcane focus for that spell anyway. Then, the invocation is pretty clearly giving three different benefits, written as...

Oh, I did miss the reaction requirement. All right, it doesn't seem that good, more of an emergency 50% chance to make a crit go away.

I'm not sure how much this matters when it's not available to other subclasses and is given to every hexblade. Still, let's give it a look mathematically. For a party of four 10th-level characters, a CR 12 or 13 provides a hard but not deadly encounter. According to the DMG, creatures at those...

I'm not sure why you say "a single attack." As I read it, you have a 50% chance to avoid any attack from that cursed creature that hits you, including spell attacks, opportunity attacks, and criticals. Seems decent.

I think you are misremembering as regards the ablative absolute, though my experience of it is limited. As far as I am aware, ablative absolutes are phrasal, opposed to single words, and they require both a noun and a participle (or, occasionally, a second noun in place of the participle). I...

Okay, way late to respond here, but I only just saw this comment. There is one possibility you have overlooked. "Arcana" could be a substantive adjective in the ablative, LightningArrow utilizing the ablative of means. Thus the title translates as "Warrior by Way of a Secret Woman." Now all...

I think you are mostly right in this specific example, though you are glossing over some finer points--the sorcerer could actually nova for more damage by casting scorching ray out of a 4th- or 5th-level slot, and more yet by quickening and throwing out a fire bolt. Though the sorcerer would be...

I would be curious to know why you say this. I consider greater invisibility + scorching ray our best single-target option outside of disintegrate. True, one of the most notoriously powerful multiclass combos beats out crown of stars. A single-classed sorcerer, of course, would not have...

Your rationale for making Melf's minute meteors blue was that it does 50% more damage than fireball at 3rd level. Well, crown of stars does 370% more damage than fire storm at 7th level, 569% more than sunburst at 8th, and 104% more than meteor swarm at 9th. Unlike Melf's, it doesn't require...

Well, I won't deny that it could be fun, but I think you are overstating the case in a few ways. 1. Each casting only gives you a chance at a surge, unless you have a place to dump tides of chaos. Granted, that can be handled by fire bolting a sparrow every ten minutes, but that's the sort of...

Cool. Gut reaction is that you underrate crown of stars, but I haven't closely considered the math and mechanics of it yet. Are you going to look at the racial feats as well? Elven accuracy seems like an obvious winner, especially for wild magic.

What he's saying is that you don't get any additional spells known. You peak at fifteen (plus one for alignment), no matter how many you've got to choose from.

I was speaking facetiously, and I believe that Ruenruotel was as well. The value of unlimited surges outside of combat is dubious, and the Int or Wis requirement of the feat makes it onerous for most sorcerers to obtain anyway.

I . . . I say, my man! This is nothing short of genius! I shall update my guide posthaste, but I shall have to invent a new color for this particular feat. Um um um . . . gold plus. No, sounds like a retirement plan. Double gold? Getting closer. Sky gold! As in gold that fell out of the sky and...

Step 1. Get behind cover. Step 2. Cast water breathing on the party. Step 3. Open a portal to the bottom of the elemental plane of water.

I think you missed far step and skill empowerment, mellored.
