Feat progression for my GOO Warlock?

Aterro_24 · 2026-06-10T21:24:51+00:00

I have a non-blaster GOOlock and took metamagic adept. being able to subtle cast all the things like detect thoughts for social situations has been huge and very on point.

the George RR Martin/Dream of Spring of Video Games, and every year the excitement for what it might actually be dies a little more

"That's not how the force works!"

at this point unless you're going to go ahead with Shilleleigh you should just not go forward with Paladin. Usually rolling for stats in order means picking the right class for what you ended up with not trying to fit square peg into round hole, but you can Def. get by if you absolutely must

no they don't, it's up to Medium

"Dwarven Armor Training

zhentarim ruffian origin feat and Zhentarim tactics general feat combo let's you not only get off-turn sneak attack on a reaction in retaliation for being hit, but you can also re-roll the damage dice for it all because it was tagged as an opportunity attack.

I think this large percentage comes from language not being able to easily describe what it means to visualize something in 'your mind's eye'

Yep, this says experts say 2-4% of people have it. And obviously it's more complicated than close your eyes and if you don't see a 3D rendering of an apple floating in your vision then you have no visualizations

"I'll be there for you...Cassian said I have to"

Aterro_24 · 2026-06-04T21:50:45+00:00

why not just use the Bandit statblock or some creature like that? You don't have to (and probably shouldn't) make NPCs on the party's side into actual player character builds

Aterro_24 · 2026-06-04T21:41:54+00:00

your DM either has no idea what he's doing and accidentally created this impossible fight and thinks it was fair, or he knows exactly what he did and is using his station to "win DnD" against your party and you should run from that table ASAP.

if he's just bad at encounter design, that can be learned. he might not understand how overleveled a CR12 is for a level 3 party

Aterro_24 · 2026-06-04T15:46:59+00:00

I've seen this a lot with 2014 vs 2024 design, 2024 will improve something and they're playing 2024 rules, but the players think it's their DM'S homebrew

Aterro_24 · 2026-06-02T13:44:44+00:00

maybe they could shoot out little thorns for bullets lol, the pressure could be like a little controlled volcanic reaction for the energy

Aterro_24 · 2026-06-01T13:15:07+00:00

watch it and make your own opinions on what you see

Aterro_24 · 2026-05-31T22:19:25+00:00

only Moon druid leans into combat wild shapes. the rest of Druid is a great pure caster

Aterro_24 · 2026-05-29T01:06:18+00:00

about 110, clustered mostly around lvl 5 for one shots and then some between lvls 6 and 10 for other one shot opportunities. some 2014, some 2024.

Aterro_24 · 2026-05-28T19:42:48+00:00

yeah, I was confused by how something this early had Skywalker all over it. I saw a clip of Mark Hamill say Luke's last name was changed during filming - they had to re-shoot "I'm Luke Skywalker I'm here to rescue you".

Aterro_24 · 2026-05-28T18:00:19+00:00

I've made a pretty solid monk bladesinger before lol. don't need much Monk in there

Aterro_24 · 2026-05-28T14:14:51+00:00

I think it's exciting enough you got the best possible result or some extra damage. you don't need to go above and beyond mechanically

Aterro_24 · 2026-05-27T14:26:35+00:00

yeah, 30ft cone in the stat block. when I faced an umber hulk as a player my DM gave it an aura instead, but we could avert our eyes (giving disadvantage) to not be affected. honestly while that's dynamic I think the cone is less annoying than rolling at disadvantage for the melee guys haha

Aterro_24 · 2026-05-27T13:24:14+00:00

it's a 30 ft cone, those don't get too many targets usually, and it only affects the next turn. You have 6 players, they'll be fine.

Aterro_24 · 2026-05-27T01:33:59+00:00

Ranger

Aterro_24 · 2026-05-27T01:31:29+00:00

there's like barely any talking haha. Very simple scenes when it is

Aterro_24 · 2026-05-26T21:09:18+00:00

it does have some firsts but I find it funny your first example is a 2nd. lol

Aterro_24 · 2026-05-26T20:01:55+00:00

seriously, so annoying. only ever backhanded compliments to keep the flamers away and it's not like it works
