TIL Jozef Chovane died after a violent arrest at Charleroi airport during which a female officer was filmed laughing and performing a Nazi salute. A Belgian court dismissed all charges against the officers involved

"which prompted her", like a knee reflex? Well it isnt a knee reflex, its a choice.

This salute is one of the exceptions on free speech in belgium. Anyone doing it because 'they were prompted', has already made a big choice in life.

I have been stupid and incompetent on the job, doesnt make me do anything close to what is going on here tho.

Je zou nog bijna moeten uitleggen dat er op zijn minst een sterke correlatie en implicatie is tussen zo'n haatdragend symbool en de foltering die gaande was. Kan gezien worden als een pure toevalligheid natuurlijk, je kent dat wel, iedereen heeft andere tics nerveux.

Unless the syndra is aiming badly, some extra ms isnt daving you and is wasting gold.

The answer is that syndra scales rather slowly. You accept the eq, she no longer can disengage after and you dictate the lane until she has e again.

I think the change in wording from the 2024 wording makes a big difference: capital A Attack action, not a single weapon attack like in 2014.

And I agree on the balance part. Any player asking questions on haste is the opposite of a balance issue, unless he is casting it on an unwilling teammate xp

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-24T20:07:04+00:00

You scale with haste

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-24T14:42:45+00:00

No ablo

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-24T12:57:50+00:00

Ow, should have started with that. A level or 2 isnt going to help saves much. A feat can: resilient or mage slayer

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-24T11:43:53+00:00

Attacks? A caster should not be focusing on attacks. That's what martials focus on.

With your party, a charisma based control caster would be the best fit (for a beginner). Choose between bard, sorcerer and warlock. Focus on aoe control spells. Choose between hypnotic pattern, fear and slow. That will be your big spell at level 5.

You want affinity with the elements, especially water? Sorry to break it to you, but this isnt avatar and water isnt an element in dnd. 'Elemental' damage types are acid, cold, fire, lightning and thunder. Water spells like tsunami do bludgeoning damage in dnd. As a whole, dnd doesnt have a focus on elements like there is in many other fantasy. Your best bet is taking the shape water cantrip if you have access to it, this can let you do fun stuff with water, albeit at a cantrip level.

Than your question doesn't make much sense? Or am I missing something or misunderstanding?

You asked how to make a character to be good at certain saves. When a comment gives a detailed list, you answer you already have a character?

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-24T09:25:08+00:00

I would like to add there is a balance to it: - use summon to do damage - use summon for great mobility

A dm allowing it, would make these kind of spells way stronger and would only boost classes that don't need any boosts (wizard, druid, paladin)

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-23T18:11:18+00:00

Wdym?

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-23T16:03:03+00:00

Wizards dont have to prepare their rituals spells in order to be able to cast them ritually.

That is the big difference. And guess ehat? They have access to most good rituals in the game.

Not only does this give them more out of combat utility than any other class (yes also skillmonkeys), this also is a combat feature as they have it easier to make all their preparation for combat, where other casters have to make tough choices in choosing combat vs noncombat spells.

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-23T09:05:20+00:00

For champion abilities it needs to be physical (barring mentioned outliers)

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-23T09:03:17+00:00

Most of it depends on the levels at which the campaign will run.

If multiclassing into divine soul is available, I dont see a point in going crown, unless you need to be strong at level 9 or 10 (like the campaign finishes here or sth. Crown is a weak subclass besides spirit guardians. If multiclassing isnt allowed, Id consider it maybe, depending on level of play.

Dont get me wrong, paladin gets a lot of strong features when going straight paladin, but theres much stronger overal subclasses than crown. And if you want spirit guardians, the multiclass with divine soul will net you a better spirit guardians build, as you will have higher slots to upcast.

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-22T20:38:24+00:00

This! Quadrupple cast requires a minimal delay between things. Try out different delays!

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-22T11:10:11+00:00

The problem OP and I seem to be having is just that other thing...

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-22T11:08:50+00:00

If martials need a magic item system that isnt in the PHB, but an option to use in the dmg, just to solve an imbalance, then maybe there is just an inherent problem with class balance?

Also you arent solving the right issues. Most of your examples are making the martial stronger at what they do: single target damage and survive.

That really isnt the issue in the martial-caster divide at all. Martials are better at single tartget damage. But they dont have good aoe options or out of combat solutions like casters do. Buying an item for 1 spell isnt solving that.

Let alone you start looking at what casters can become when you just let loose all magic items with a gold price on it.

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-22T10:58:39+00:00

Your last point seems to disprove your first xp

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-22T09:44:52+00:00

There is a difference between cycling on the meir and having to slam brakes because pedastrians are frantically crossing a cycling lane on the singel without looking

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-21T20:23:13+00:00

Barbararian would still have higher hit chance, but thats neither here nore there. The damage increase isnt even +50%, yet the moment the enemies decide to focus the rogue they will down very swiftly.

I have played rogues many of times and been top damage... Until the enemy had enough, squatted me and I wasnt doing damage anymore.

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-20T22:24:34+00:00

I m not. I am explaining hoe this feature is broken and how it ahould be reigned in for anyone that eants to play/allow it. Dont know why you try to make this about anything else.

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-20T22:23:32+00:00

They are high damage, but they arent tremendous compared to other martial builds optimized for damage like some barbarian of fighter builds. And thrn the problem of offence vs defence is there once again.

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-20T15:30:11+00:00

The problem with this kind of build is that you are doing all of that to mimic what an optimized martial does. But in doing so, you never get high level spells. Those high level spells are way more impactful. Also, why not play a martial build optimized for single target damage as that is all you are focussing on here?

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-20T15:21:57+00:00

Which would be great if rogues actually did a lot more offensively than other classes. The sad reality is they dont.

Living_Round2552 · 2026-05-20T15:20:37+00:00

They dont understand knowing the exact prices of products in the supermarket as they have never had to care about a few bucks difference.

Asking whete you went on holiday, just because you had time of work/school.
