    Character based on the shaman king cartoon

    If I remember correctly (It's been a VERY long time since I've seen the anime, forgive me) the series starts with characters being possessed by a spirit that lets them fight with the skill of that spirit, but later the shamans channel the spirit into an object and let's them do cool spirit magic...

    D&D 5E [GUIDE] So art lies hid by its own artifice - an artificer guide

    Hey glad to see you've updated this with the new subclasses so quickly! There's two small things I'd disagree on. I think the Archivist has plenty of spells for it's mind-smite thing, after all it has the same number as the Paladin and they get along just fine. Second, I'd definitely rate the...

    Way of the Pistol Monk. Is it balanced?

    Mmkay, I see that. I always pictured them as more blasters than anything but you raise a fair point with Stunning Strike But take a look at the video I linked. It's about rule of cool more than anything. I find Gun Kata to be absolutely wickedly awesome and I want to do THAT, and I'm trying to...

    Way of the Pistol Monk. Is it balanced?

    The big appeal for me was the bonus action shot. I feel like Kensei is an overall better subclass, but Pistol fulfills the fantasy of weaving guns and martial arts a lot better. Minus the, uh, sex appeal I really just wanna do this. Kensei doesn't *quite* get me there, but Pistol is like a...

    Way of the Pistol Monk. Is it balanced?

    Yeah I can definitely see the comparison. I think it has more in common with Kensei though for a couple of reasons. Sun Soul really wants to be a ranged blaster, and gets a few interesting AoE options as well. near as I can tell Sun Soul never wants to be in melee if it can avoid it since it's...

    Way of the Pistol Monk. Is it balanced?

    Okay, so full disclosure: I just got a tooth pulled and I may not be thinking at my 100%. I encourage anyone to double check my math. Comparing the Way of the Pistol, I actually found things to be (mostly) balanced between the Kensei and the Pistol monk. I'm going to do a side by side...

    Way of the Pistol Monk. Is it balanced?

    You're right, I missed it was in a subclass. No need to get all hostile with the bold and whatnot. It was being compared to a different 17th level subclass ability. Edit: Oh now I see the edit lol. Sorry

    Way of the Pistol Monk. Is it balanced?

    Blue, The monk already gets a save-or-die power baseline. It's Quivering Palm. I can understand the rest of that though, for sure. Too bad, I really like it thematically. I might take a crack at writing something myself, I'm not sure. I've kind of fallen in love with the concept at this point...

    Way of the Pistol Monk. Is it balanced?

    I'm going to be playing in a Wild West themed game soon (I'm so excited!) and I found this subclass online. I want to make sure its balanced before I commit to it. I have already gotten then DMs permission but I figured a quick balance pass couldn't hurt. I just don't want to break anything. The...

    Homebrew Ranger Fighting Style - Favoured Foe

    I personally wouldn't allow it in my game. I hate how much of the ranger's stuff is dependant on the campaign. Like, half their class features stop working without the right terrain and enemy to fight and they don't need more of that.

    This was how I interpreted it as well.

    Critical Role Do you Critical Role?

    CR is one of those things I desperately wanted to like, but just could not get into. I love all the actors and they seem like genuinely good people, but their tendency to meander, and drag things out really grates on me. And Matt Mercer is so well spoken, and detailed, but I just don't need to...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: The Artificer Is Here! & UA Schedule Changes

    There is scaling, it's just not as flashy. Remember as you level up you get access to more infusions. At level 5 you get double attack. At 9th you get 3rd level spells. At 12th you unlock the 3rd tier of infusions, and 13th you get 4th level spells. 16th you get the strongest infusions in the...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: The Artificer Is Here! & UA Schedule Changes

    Why wouldn't you make Int your secondary stat? I'm going to be playing a level 8 Alchemist soon and I 100% made Dex my primary stat. Between Not-Extra Attack and Arcane Weapon you've got a ton of incentive to attack people, and by level 8 with 1 ASI and Crossbow Master I can pump out some...

    D&D 5E [GUIDE] So art lies hid by its own artifice - an artificer guide

    Yeah I'm actually going to be playing a Feral Winged Tiefling Artificer soon, level 8. Going Alchemist because the more I look at them, the more I think Alchemist is ultimately the stronger build. Artillerist is just too strapped for spell slots. Having to summon the turret and spent spell slots...

    Help me create a Bob Ross character!

    I actually think you should look at the new UA Artificer. It's a half caster like Paladin, and isn't all that complicated. Moreover, you can use Painter's Tools as a spell focus and literally paint your spells. Cure Wounds on someone? "That's okay. It was a happy little accident." *Paints over...

    D&D 5E [GUIDE] So art lies hid by its own artifice - an artificer guide

    Say what're your thoughts on a SAD V Human Artificer who takes Magical Secrets to get Green Flame Blade and Booming Blade? I was thinking Artillerist for a combination blaster/tank build utilizing the Temp HP from the turret and the shield spell for tankiness and taking advantage of having 2...
