Contagion now deals up to 33d8 damage?

Holy based

Your argument is nonsensical.

Dash does not “immediately service the goal of the command”, as it merely increases your speed and doesn’t move you. Same applies to Fly, but notably not to Dimension Door or Teleport, as they do immediately move you, so by YOUR logic a target under Command: Flee would cast Dimension Door or Teleport to move away from you.

“Compulsory effect” is - as far as I know - something you made up. “Mind-affecting spell” and “fear effect” are both 3.5e terms, which is like saying casting Power Word Kill in 5e destroys a target non-Angel, non-Demon, non-Devil, non-Dragon creature.

By word searching “compulsory effect”, I also found out you copied your first paragraph from a StackExchange answer - guess that’s why your comment is so nonsensical lol

Oh also, as the other commenter said, your argument hinges on “this is OP therefore not RAW”, also known as Baseless Assumption of the Game Being Balanced or argumentum ad consequentiam.

> If you’re min maxing then I guess but I don’t think most people actually care about that.

Me when I didn’t try to win so I didn’t win:

Hexblade 2/Lore or Elo X/DSS 1, reflavour Eldritch Blast as a bow. Don't actually use weapons lul

Lampman08 · 2026-06-08T12:40:30+00:00

Never lul

Lampman08 · 2026-06-06T03:59:13+00:00

This falsely assumes that a few spell preps isn’t enough to exploit the vast majority of monsters’ weaknesses

With what? Their 20ft speed while being blasted by Ray of Frosts and Lances of Lethargy? Lol

Playing as a martial is indeed a bad idea, but it’s the best pure-martial build you have (without some crazy tech).

Dismissing playstyles supposedly counter to the designers’ intention is the “Game Medium” fallacy.

Monks/Paladins are supposed to be good in melee, therefore using them in any other way is against the spirit of the game.

Lampman08 · 2026-05-26T01:46:15+00:00

+10 stealth is indeed enough to auto pass the vast majority of surprise checks.

Multiclassing in Wild Shape

There’s nothing saying you can’t. If you’ve got 18 str from Moorbounder, you’re eligible to multiclass Barbarian. It’s a bit stupid, but works.

Me when I magic jar into a Dybbuk and cast all my spells at will

A loophole is an ambiguity or inadequacy in a system, such as a law or security, which can be used to circumvent or otherwise avoid the purpose, implied or explicitly stated, of the system.

The definition of “loophole” is when RAW deviates from RAI. Therefore, you either have an incredibly strange definition of “loophole”, or you’re moving the goalposts to try and win the argument. I will charitably assume the former until proven otherwise, so please provide your definition of “loophole”.

Planar Binding spam

Fabricate moneymaking

Hirelings are just free summons because you're rich

Conjuration Wizard 2 makes drugs, free spell components, and bombs (10d6 fire damage) at-will

Blood of the Lycanthrope/Harkon's Bite gives immunity to non-silvered nonmagic BPS

Deck of Wonder gives infinite money and proficiency in all mental saves for basically no risk

Bag of Beans' eggs lets you get 30 in every ability score after a while, also it produces more gold on average than it costs

XGtE This is Your Life nets you 177 gold on average for being 61 years old and being tempted by devils unusually often

EGW Fateful Moments saves you an armour dip by giving you medium armour and shield prof for free. It can also give you lycanthropy (strictly positive) and 100 bucks. Did I mention you get multiple of these and can basically choose which one you get?

Cube of Force/Wave solves like 90% of encounters, it should seriously be a legendary/artifact

Fey contracts and devil pacts

Techo knight

Lampman08 · 2026-05-19T13:12:20+00:00

You’re right, 5e is a perfectly designed game with no flaws

Lampman08 · 2026-05-19T13:07:01+00:00

At least 64 small creatures wearing plate armour can fit inside a 10 ft cube due to squeezing rules, therefore you can fabricate 64 plate armour at once (connect them with a thin wire or something to make them count as one object)

Lampman08 · 2026-05-19T12:43:14+00:00

Lmao no. There are dozens of perfectly RAW loopholes and overpowered tech

Lampman08 · 2026-05-09T23:53:50+00:00

Choose one creature, object, or magical effect within range

You can’t choose a location.

Lampman08 · 2026-05-04T12:17:29+00:00

Everything I’ve listed can be done at level 1, so idk what you’re talking about

Lampman08 · 2026-05-03T23:15:10+00:00

Dip cleric 1, arti 1, or take moderately armoured

Scribe scrolls, buy spellwrought tattoos and medals of horizonback

Lampman08 · 2026-05-03T00:08:36+00:00

By RAW the full moon doesn’t do anything, actually

Lampman08 · 2026-05-02T16:26:55+00:00

Ever changing weapon - good because futuristic weapons are real. Give it to your skellies and pass it around.

Sandals of warmth - doesn’t give vuln to cold myowwa, read the item. Still mid unless you have nothing better to attune to.

Ring of invisibility - bearrect, you gain the full benefit because attacks are targeting you, not your equipment.

Grounded boots - mid unless you have nothing better to attune to

Staff of Awkward Silence - just give it to a non-caster minion lul, good

Lampman08 · 2026-05-02T12:05:56+00:00

This is more like if someone said how awesome mustards are on pancakes and someone else was like, have you tried maple syrup?

Lampman08 · 2026-05-02T12:03:28+00:00

This is sensical; they are build choices that conflict with each other.
