Ok, here’s an idea for starting to chip away at the classes in this build… Replace Sorc 7 by Sorc 4 (any subclass) + Evoker 3, for Potent Cantrip. Now half of the CME-enhanced Eldritch Blast damage still gets through even on a missed attack 😳 ? Everything else works as is. Still not abusing...

What did you not like about 3.5 skills? You can, via the Skilled feat, and some classes or subclasses grant skills here and there as part of class abilities beyond level 1. But I agree that it’s pretty limited. Burning a feat on Skilled feels like a waste of a resource that’s already too...

Cool! Where did you get the Turkish content from? The official SRD is in 5 languages, not including Turkish. Did you translate it yourself? I have been pondering that there should be a more machine-friendly dataset than the SRD PDFs, and that ideally the dataset should be modeled with languages...

I agree with almost everything here, except the sentiment that there are too many spells and too few class abilities. I lean in the opposite direction… too many abilities are mundane little things that ought to have been spells, IMHO. And I’m not a fan of class abilities that are like "you...

Yep… If the criteria are just access to CME, 9th level slots and as many attacks as possible, then I would think about a build along the lines of: Fighter 2 (for AS), Warlock 1 (for EB), Bard 10 (for Magical Secrets: CME and Steel Wind Strike), and the rest Sorcerer 7 (for Quicken). Then the...

I was re-thinking about this thread and I realized something. No doubt obvious to some, but somehow I hadn’t realized the full implications. Maybe it deserves a separate thread but I’ll dump it here for now… So… what you’re doing in this build is a pure EK all the way until level 20, which gets...

+1, I haven’t voted yet because I don’t understand the poll 🤷‍♂️ … I totally agree. An idea I pitched in the 5.75e thread was the following to blend 3.5e counterspelling flavor into 5e mechanics: The end result would be that "yo mamma" counterspelling is still available, but generally more...

Welp! They must be lurking here because they copied my idea from the Steel & Skills fighter handbook thread! 🤣 Maybe I should blog about it to clearly establish the prior art 🤔😅

This other thread made me think of that one. Let some mistletoe float over the staff 😂 Post in thread 'Check Out This Early Arcana Unleashed Artwork' Check Out This Early Arcana Unleashed Artwork

Or maybe tie up a little bit of mistletoe to your quarterstaff and call it a day? 🤷‍♂️

For what it’s worth, I agree that my own arguments aren’t very convincing 😅 … I guess this discussion is circling around the enigma of the ray of absolute disintegration getting flung at the impenetrable barrier. Gods are about superlatives taken to the extreme. Omniscient, omnipotent...

Old True Strike (from 3e!) was a straight up +20 bonus to the next attack roll! And it cost a 1st level spell slot, it was not at will. It was meant for these really dramatic moments like, the princess has an apple on her head and if you miss your shot you are going to be hanged. Or… you did...

Another way to design cantrip scaling would be that it affects more than one subsequent attack rolls. A single one initially, then a 2nd attack at 5th, then 3rd, then 4th. Maybe with a time limit of the end of your next round (or even the start of your next round) no matter the scaling. The idea...

It’s fine as a cantrip right? Only slotted spells have the once per round limit.

Rogue 3’s Steady Aim grants advantage as a BA at will, so you could have that as a Cantrip also (no other bonus, to damage or otherwise)… although Steady Aim freezes movement, but you could do the exact same restriction on True Strike and it would ring true to the theme of the spell… Overall, I...

That tripped me up too. It’s because of the Potent Dragonmark feat from Eberron: Forge of the Artificer.

Not dying of old age is longevity. Not dying at all is immortality. In scientific terms, "all cause mortality" includes not just heart attacks and liver failure and so on, but also car accidents, homicide, etc. By the RAW, a high level Monk is immune to the former, but not the latter 😄 … In my...

As for this… I think the leveling approach gives greater flexibility. You can gain one level at a time, or gain several levels after having done truly epic deeds. For example, in some of our epic campaigns, we used to wipe entire armies of thousands + the high level generals leading those...

To me it’s about mortality. There are some ways to not die of old age (Monk, etc), and Chosen of Mystra also gave immunity to aging in 3e. But not dying of old age is different from immortality. In my mind, it should only be possible for a god to kill another god. Or alternatively, in some...

I mean, what you’re describing is fine. I don’t think there is a right or wrong way to design epic levels, godhood and every increment in-between. Different tables will have different preferences. I personally don’t consider Elminster to be at even the first increment towards godhood. In my...
