D&D 5E The 2024 Ranger is Actually Pretty Good (with numbers)

[Paul Farquhar]

I was talking about that it's rare to get line of sight that is more than 60ft long.
there is nothing to shoot at that distance except walls.

It doesn't matter if the range is 20 ft. You still can't melee (or be meleed) if there is something occupying the spaces between you and your target.

That is why probably 90% of wis based rangers are made with Fey touched, so this kind of things are avoidable.
and new jump is also good if there is room to jump over.

That's certainly a good option, but they still need a space adjacent to the target to be vacant, and a sightline to it. There are no reach shillelaghs. I'm the goblin king. I'm going to make sure none of the tunnels are wider than 5 ft., so I can put a tough guy with a shield in the front, and ranks of archers behind. And behind them I put another tough guy because I know about teleport shenanigans.

They also include a 5th level spellcaster with counterspell. Because goblins know about fireballs too.

wizard is inside a "wall" made by minor illusion.

So are the goblins.

fireball does not care about illusions. hehehe.

but yeah, anyone that can get their hands on minor illusion has excellent ambush tool.

minor illusion+telekinetic feat+subtle spell, such a great combo.

Fireball sends out a ray of flames. So better have some pipe attached where the ray leaves the wall or it stops working right at that moment.

sure, but it does not matter.

some one could say that you need physical interaction with the illusion to see that is fake.
some would say that anyone needs to have it.

but by that time spell takes effect it's immune to being counterspelled.
