You are clearly not redemption paladin material.

I agree with just about everything here, good stuff. I do strongly question #6. I can see casting it before you enter a room, or if you suspect a trap, or ambush. If that's what you are meaning then ok, but if you mean constantly casting it so that you get the bonus on every initiative I...

I try to have each of the characters backstory play a big part in the campaign, sometimes even be part of the major plot and warlock patrons are a very nice way to do this. It's more to drive the story or make interesting decisions and to allow for more character development and roleplaying...

I'm not sure if I'm the one who started the whole "illusion-ism" train of thought. But just a few things about how I do this. I do it more from system mastery, I really study dnd hard and know what players are capable of and what my monsters are. I roll all my dice in the open and don't fudge...

it does if my case is that I want Second Chance to be as powerful :) but really I was just rage posting after finding the Crawford post about it, I was hoping it was a chose which dice reroll like similar rerolls in the game. I will still probably take it on my latest halfling character...

That's nice logic and all, but I do see a lot of dps threads that are all about Half-Drow for Elven Accuracy.

Much of XGtE seems to be stolen from 4th edition, it seems they wanted to wait till people forgot about 4e then add things back. I liked 4th and I like 5th btw. Read the optional magic item distribution rules in XGtE seems alot like 4e.

Feat: Second Chance Jeremy Crawford confirmed that you have to take the second roll (which completely prevents me from ever taking this feat as it has a 1/20 chance of turning a hit into a crit) https://www.sageadvice.eu/tag/xanathar-guide-everything/page/6/?ak_action=reject_mobile Seriously...

I like to create the illusion of difficulty. I mainly did this in 4e with lots of minions. You can do the same thing sorta with low lvl "minions" in 5e. The system is rather forgiving with the pop up mechanics of healing downed players. I support most of the above suggestions. If the...

Seems flavorful and imo def not overpowered. All this multiclassing to do cool things is mostly a trap anyways. Most of the time multiclassing doesn't make the character anymore powerful, just able to do a specific thing that people want to do with their character. The widely considered best...

Hey Warpiglet I read your other thread about Front Line Warlock awhile back and someone mentioned Blade Ward. At first I dismissed this because nooobody likes that spell and generally say that dodge action is better. But just this morning I was thinking of how to abuse Armor of Agathys (even so...

your right I wasn't clear, imo most people under value Armor of Agathys (maybe because they can't spell it). your analysis of it is pretty spot on. The idea is pretty much if you spam it when attacked, then you are doing lots of damage and mitigating a decent amount of damage that the party...

There is a difference between making a character that works and power gaming. There is also a difference between making the most of a character that they play as well. For example a rogue that works very hard at getting advantage and hiding as much as they can, are getting the most out of...

The real question is have you talked to this person about this behavior and given them a chance to change, or even an ultimatum. I'm never a fan of giving someone the boot without allowing them the chance to see how their actions effect others and given them a chance to change. If such a chat...

Very few classes can really tank in 5e, the real question is, will I be a liability being in melee? Armor of Agathy is great because it gives you more total hp than a fighter, you can recast it if needed and it does damage, in most cases double damage, for example if they don't do 5 damage on...

People really under value Armor Agathy on a Warlock. This spell cept up should really work wonders. I plan on using it in my melee warlock build. In my humble opinion with one level of fighter or 2 lvls of Paladin (smite) or 1 lvl dip healer cleric (heavy armor shield and bonus to all...

First my damage calculations assume 0 damage from Booming Blade movement. I'm well aware that Twin is more efficient than Quickening, Quickening allows you to hit the same target twice something that twin does not, and many times you will be quickening a Fireball or something instead. This is...

I like Str 15 Dex 10 Con 14 Int 8 Wis 12 Cha 13 Wiz and Dex can be switched, boost str and cha with +1 for human variant. GWM lvl 1, PAM 4, Sentinel or +2 str lvl 8. GWM is really fun, PAM may or may not be better, but you can't go wrong with either of these lvl 1 and 4, You could go +2 str...

These Blade cantrips can also utilize Shadow Blade from XAGE. I just made a post about the great synergy with a sorcerer who can twin BB and Quicken GFB, for 3 very strong attacks in a turn.

I recently got back into dnd and found this cool Shadow Blade spell. I have been playing around with it and it seems to make a great melee Sorcerer or Pal2/Sorx build. I have read all about Eldritch Knight builds and builds that try to use extra attacks such as Pal 5 or 6 splash. But extra...
