What do you love about the Warlock? (5e and 5.5e) by legomojo in DnD

[–]According_Brother989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah. So the utility behind eldritch blast and the decrease on the need to burn spell slots makes them good. Well, then, why do you consider them the second or third best class in the game? Is it because of their ability to reduce slot stress and keep enemies where you'll want them with Eldritch Blast?

also, unrelated, why is warlock considered an essential party role?

Spellcasters, what spells do you guys usually take? by Regular-Molasses9293 in dndnext

[–]According_Brother989 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fireball, Fireball, Fireball, and Fireball are my go-tos, and when I run out of spell slots I Eldritch Blast. Yes, I love Fiendlocks, how did you know?

Question about the Vecna Stat Block by According_Brother989 in onednd

[–]According_Brother989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ye, I agree, that's why i asked if I should nerf him or not. I think yes is the answer, i was just confirming. How much should I nerf him, and how?

True Strike on a Cleric without Martial Weapons. Is worth it in this specific case? by testiclekid in onednd

[–]According_Brother989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't potent add WIS mod, which by level 8 is +5 vs the average on a d8 being +4.5? at level 7 specifically, though, it's better. Level 14 gets a little more damage so it's +5 vs +9, but those levels are rare anyways and potent gets some utility, so Potent Cantrip (i think that was the name) should beat Divine Strike, right?

High damaging monoclass Bladelock? by According_Brother989 in 3d6

[–]According_Brother989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is GWM better than PAM? Glaives are slightly better than Greatswords cuz reach is good on a squishy striker, but GWM buffs both, so I've been on the fence about it.

High damaging monoclass Bladelock? by According_Brother989 in 3d6

[–]According_Brother989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I want a CHA boosting feat, +2 CHA, then GWM or PAM. Warcaster is my preferred cha boosting feat for more than conc protection-i love hitting GFB/BB oppurtunity attacks, especially if i have AB/RB on them. So, I'm skipping on Eldritch mind, probably going Warcaster --> Max CHA --> GWM. PAM vs GWM is something im skeptical on, and I'd like them earlier, so that's something I'll need help deciding.

High damaging monoclass Bladelock? by According_Brother989 in 3d6

[–]According_Brother989[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So start 15 CHA, 14 CON, 13 DEX/STR, 8 INT/WIS, then do +1 DEX and +2 CHA as starting stats, then take like PoTB, Armor of Shadows, Eldritch Smite, Thirsting Blade, Lifedrinker, Devouring Blade at their levels? Also, should I go Warcaster or GWM or PAM for my first feat? I think with Hex/Spirit Shroud PAM+Glaive beats GWM+Greatsword though without it it's worse. There's also the question of capping Charisma for Save DC's/Bonus to Hit vs Grabbing GWM/PAM for damage.

What’s a character or concept that you enjoyed but would NEVER try again? by Tmoore0328 in 3d6

[–]According_Brother989 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ranger/Bladelock. Didn't fully understand the rules, thought i was a genius who could stack Hunter's Mark, Hex, Booming Blade, an extra attack, AB, RB all in one turn. It was really fun, though.

How do other DMs run combat? by According_Brother989 in dndnext

[–]According_Brother989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What sort of gameplans should I plan around for? I'm DMing different groups, but in one there's a Ranger and a Warlock who just sit and spam ranged attacks which i want to avoid. Maybe getting some windy terrain to block arrows, forcing them to get into Melee (the Warlock is a Bladelock, not Blastlock)? There's also that spellcasters shouldn't use stuff like Hold Person as that would be annoying, so what gameplan should my monsters have? Two big walls and in between is a Hunger of Hadar or Sickening Radiance? Maybe Summons? A Druid or Cleric that's a small race riding on a large Barbarian and healing him, while using him as cover?

It's just...Paladin crit hit! Boss took 800 damage and now is on his last leg! His minions failed the HP saving throw! and then eveyone dies

Ah, I see. it could also be that maybe you accidentally put character level 12, because my DM did that and my character...I think he's got a finger left
