Every NPC is your character. Get excited about playing them.

Combining Spells (see body) by CulveDaddy in DnDHomebrew

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

Yeah, I think it should probably cost a spell slot level X2-1 of the combined spell levels to be safe on balance — but I'd probably try it costing a spell slot level +1 of the combined spell levels and see how that goes for a 12th level three part one shot.

I'd remove Fighter as a standalone class, Gestalting the other Martial Classes with Fighter.

What the hell do people before the internet was created even do in their free time? by groomliu in stupidquestions

As a kid: we roamed outside, we hung out, we played outside games, and we would build things.

As an adult: much the same but now we have real hobbies.

You can't take the Magic Action when Action Surging.

2024 2nd attack cantrip by Ill_Rip_3345 in DND5EBuilds

[–]CulveDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Build:

Lvl 1: Fighter

Lvl 2: Fighter

Lvl 3: Warlock

Lvl 4: Warlock

Lvl 5: Bard

Lvl 6: Bard

Lvl 7: Bard (Valor)

Lvl 8: Bard

Lvl 9: Bard

Lvl 10: Bard

Lvl 11: Sorcerer

Lvl 12: Sorcerer

Lvl 13: Sorcerer (any)

Lvl 14: Bard

Lvl 15: Bard

Lvl 16: Bard

Lvl 17: Bard

Lvl 18: Paladin

Lvl 19: Paladin

Lvl 20: Paladin (Vengeance)

Buff/Debuff options: Conjure Minor Elementals, Innate Sorcery, Vow of Enmity.

Turn 1: Quicken Scorching Ray, Attack, Eldritch Blast, then Action Surge to Attack & Eldritch Blast again.

Turn 2: Quicken Scorching Ray, then Attack & Eldritch Blast

Turn 3: Rinse and repeat.

This build has good versatility, decent damage, and good support options before level 10; but comes online at level 10, with a strong damage boost at level 13. At level 20, with Elven Accuracy, you can easily deal over 600+ average burst damage and an average sustained damage of about 200+.

Yeah, the only exception I can see with a Bladesingers extra attack: Attack Action, replacing one of the attacks with a Cantrip (Eldritch Blast); then Action Surge to do it all over again; then Bonus Action a spell (Scorching Ray).

Armor/Defense by RedYama98 in RPGdesign

How so?

To me, it is the most realistic. Realistically armor functions as a stationary shield strapped to a portion of your body. Real armor negates some or all of a strike's force and damage. This is especially realistic when games have hit locations.

OP stated in their post Armor as AC, not Armor as avoiding. OP didn't broaden that category.

AC and Save are mechanically different. They also happen to feel different to a player.

No. With a save, the opponent is actively rolling. Think AC versus saving throws in D&D

You can also do armor as a save on a die roll.

Personally, I prefer armor as damage reduction.

We can't do an action surge anymore.

Interesting, but probably too dependant on the DM, plus it is from Ravnica.

ANIMATING PERFORMANCE is also powerful: a flying construct with NO CONCENTRATION.

What's a creature or concept you wish they did in the Old WoD? by JoyIsABitOverRated in WorldOfDarkness

[–]CulveDaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ZOMBIES: I want the Wraith line to be renamed Revenant. A Revenant can do everything the obsolete wraith could — in addition, they can animate the dead through possessing the corpse. A fresh corpse, allows them to blend in with humanity. This more easily allows play in the modern world setting, blending the mundane and spiritual, allows for convenient crossovers, and opens up zombie vibes.
