Thanks for your replies. I wrote down a short list I wanted to share with you: Comprehend Languages (1) Shield (1) Find Familiar (1) Protection from Good and Evil (1) Alter Self (2) Darkvision (2) Locate Object (2) Rope Trick (2) See Invisibility (2)

No one?

Hi, I am playing a level 11 AT. I can cast 2nd level spells so far. 1st - Familar, Silent Image, Disguise Self 2nd - Darkvision, Mirror Image, Invisibility, Suggestion, Phantasmal Force Our DM allows to buy a limited amount of scrolls per level (around 3-5). So, which ones would be...

Thanks for your reply! Meanwhile, I think Extra Attack is the way to go, although I was almost putting that thought aside. But someone on a different thread on GITP convinced me: I find that reasonable. From the damage perspective, Extra Attack is better. The only BIG advantages are Haste and...

Thanks for your answer. I know that somehow doubles my SA crit bonus. But to be honest, this is something you really can't rely on. Furthermore, Fighter 7 means that I wouldn't get Slippery Mind what is HUGE.

Thanks for your answers. I considered your suggestions, but am still not quite sure about the next levels. Meanwhile, our DM ruled the following: 1.) We are playing the variant rule for resting now (short rest = 1 day; long rest = 7 days), so I won't take much advantage of "per short rest"...

Well, can't say anything against it. You are right! Should have taken more time in my break to reply. ;)

From the numerous posts and szenarios described I assume the best way would be: 1.) Tell the players the spell name (without a check). Reasons: - If you don't tell them, they will ask for an arcana/religion check for any spell, what will slow down the game. - If you describe one the spell's...

Okay, you absolutely convinced me. Thanks for all your comments! From now on, I am going to tell my players which spell is being cast. Just one last question: Do you also tell them, what level the spell has, so the players can decide whether or not they want to use a higher spell slot for...

That's what I am also afraid of. If I allow checks, I am quite sure my players want to identify ANY spell, so we will likely come to the situation that they will ask for a check, WHENEVER a spell is being cast by a foe. So, there are the following possibilities: Ask for a check to identify a...

Thanks for all your responses! I like that ruling. Only question to discuss seems the difficulty of the DC. 15 + spell level seems a bit high, doesn't it?

Hi, let's say, I don't want to waste my Counterspell to interrupt an enemy casting a Cantrip, but I do want to prevent him from casting e.g. a Fireball. Is it possible to find out what spell is being cast by my foe, so I can decide whether or not I cast Counterspell? For example, I am having...

Thanks for all your answers! I found some nice indications about how to rules this!

Passive skills are a tool for DMs to quickly determine a skill check without the need of a roll. It's NOT that you do something "passively". This has been misunderstood since playtest. So, the asnwer is no. A creature does not automatically succeed in the investigation check. Certainly not, if...

Yes, for sure, if there is a reasons for a creature to be suspicious, investigation is always possible. To be honest, I concentrated on fighting situations or mimicing creatures/persons that don't arouse "natural" suspicion.

Hey guys, the Major Image spell has no saving throw. Let's say a creature has no reason to arouse "natural suspicion" (like a guard patrol seeing a bush that hasn't been there before). So, creatures that see the image believe it to be real. Furthermore, a creature has only two possibilities to...

Thanks for your calculation! Is it possible to take Sharpshooter into account as well? Unfortunately, I am very bad in math, so I can't do it myself. But it would be very interesting to know. I already have the +2 Ranged Fighting Style from Figher 1. At the moment, I am using my Bonus Action...

Thanks again for your comments! Just to avoid misunderstandings. I am currently level 12: Race: Human: Variant Classes: Rogue(11)/Fighter(1) Ability Scores: ST 8 | DEX 20 | CON 14 | WIS 12 | INT 12 | CHA 13 Feats: Crossbow Expert, Sharpshooter Archetype: Arcane Trickster Spells: -...

Thanks for all your comments! From all your class suggestions, I believe Fighter, Bard and further Rogue levels are the way that fits my character. Further Rogue levels: Spells: I already picked up "Find Familiar" on 3rd level (PHB 98: "You know three 1st level wizard spells of your choice...

EDIT: Hey there, I am playing a ranged rogue/fighter with the following stats. My current build: Race: Humant(variant) Class: Rogue (11) / Fighter (1) Archetype: Arcane Trickster with Familiar (Owl), giving me Advantage in Fights due Help Action. Abilities: STR 8 | DEX 20 | CON 14 | WIS 12...
