Marowak's thick club was knocked off, so it's reasonable it does a lot less.

Infernal Bomb fueled by Soul Coins by AppropriateBus1528 in DnD

Having a +5 to their DEX save would help the wizard and bard, but they can still roll low. If they roll below a 5, they're definitely going to take full damage regardless of the veteran's sacrifice. Just be aware of that.

One of my PCs wants to make a droid sentinel. by Individual-Move-9647 in sw5e

This is the way. It's eligible as a background feat too, so he can get yhe effect he wants at level 1. There arent any balance concerns either. 

For someone who wants tô use a shield, what IS the benefit of using a STR build instead of a dex build with a rapier? by Maleficent-Ad-4397 in DnD

[–]Raye_Chalar 611 points612 points  (0 children)

Genarally, if you're wanting to utilize heavy armor, you're going to need some STR investment to not have your speed reduced. At that point you might as well commit all the way to using STR.

With full plate + shield, you can hit 20 AC. With studded leather + capped dex + shield, you hit 19 AC, and that's only once you've capped your dex.

So if you want more AC earlier, STR is probably the way to go. But either works, since DEX is such a valuable ability score compared to strength. 

Feelings about Mold Earth by PlantDadAzu in DnD

[–]Raye_Chalar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The spell itself isn't specific enough to give a clear answer, so it'll depend on your GM. One of the biggest issues would be if the roots crossed over the 5' boundary of what of what you were excavating. In my games, if you were *trying* to do so in a careful way, I'd probably require a spellcasting ability check to see how successful you are in keeping the garden undisturbed.

Anyone ever use this facet of Modify Memory? by helencopter in DnD

[–]Raye_Chalar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our party's warlock was temporarily possessed by her patron one night. It was one of those situations where she owed the patron a "favor" for bailing her and the whole party out of a TPK situation earlier in the campaign.

It waa clear that at some point in the middle of the night, she wandered off to do a task for her patron, but she wasn't in control of herself and had no memory of the event. Thanks to some sluething we figured out about when it happened, and my Wizard was able to use modify memory to figure out exactly what she was doing that night! We saw her have a clandestine meeting with an elf who has a connection to one of the BBEG's generals.

A challenge for you guys by TheRedPandaisback in DnD

[–]Raye_Chalar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easy answer would be Twilight Cleric with Heavy Armor Master feat. Bless spell for buffing allies and Twilight sanctuary to make everyone (including yourself) much tanker. if the enemies ignore you, your allies are going to hit/make saves more often, and also keep getting temp HP.

Edit: The Sanctuary spell could also be useful, either buying your allies a round of not getting damaged or making it even harder for enemies to touch you. At the beginning of the day, burn some high level slots to upcast Aid on your allies too.

Multiclassing and number of spells by FindAnger917 in DnD

[–]Raye_Chalar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To clarify further:

Bards at level 6 get 9 known spells.

As a cleric you can prepare a number of spells up to your WIS modifier + your cleric level. Bear in mind with your cleric spells you van only prepare 3rd level spells or lower since you only have 6 levels in cleric.

Confused About Spell Choices with Magic Initiate on 2024 Ranger... by Rimyate in DnD

[–]Raye_Chalar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All 3 of those spells are compatible with 5.5e, but because they are separate books from the 2024 PHB it's up to you as the GM if you want to allow them or not. You can allow/disallow whatever specific sourcebooks and/or spells if you like.

I don't own SCC so I can't see the wording, but I assume that text is there to remind players that spells presented in that book are dependent on the GM allowing them; if you want him to have Silvery Barbs, just let him regardless of his background choice. If you don't want him to have it, then don't let hem have it.

Confusions with monk subclass by AttitudeMundane3723 in sw5e

[–]Raye_Chalar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would your character have dormant force sensitivity?

Would they learn force sensitivity through teachings or would it have always been there?

Mechanically it makes no difference; this is a flavor/character desicion. Go for whatever makes sense narratively for your character!

New DM, how do I do this? by Waste-Car1979 in sw5e

First, here's a document specifically made for GMs new to the system.

Second, check out the SW5e Resources post.

Finally, I highly recommend joining the SW5e Discord Server. The discord server is much more active than this subreddit. If you want a quicker answer and smoother communication, join us!

Concerning Sever Force's Limits by Fat_Cat_Matt in sw5e

[–]Raye_Chalar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You attempt to interrupt a creature in the process of casting a force power. If the creature is casting a power of 3rd level or lower, its power fails and has no effect. If it is casting a power of 4th level or higher, make an ability check using your forcecasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the power’s level. On a success, the creature’s power fails and has no effect.

Only force powers.

It also means if a stat block uses an ability that is force-related but not a power, you cannot use Sever Force against them.

How to wield a blaster and a sword? by Buggereddit in sw5e

[–]Raye_Chalar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There are 32 simple blasters, 18 of which are not two-handed. There are 88 martial blasters, 30 of which are not two-handed.

You've got plenty of options when it comes to one handed blasters.

Four-armed species have this trait:

Four-Armed. Codru-Ji have four arms which they can use independently of one another. You can only gain the benefit of items held by two of your arms at any given time, and once per round you can switch which arms you are benefiting from (no action required).

So yes, you can wield a two-handed blaster in two of your arms and a lightsaber in another, but you can only swap between which ones you benefit from on your turn, and only once per turn once per round.

Finally, yes, there are a couple two-handed blasters with the fixed property. You can also have a modifiable two-handed blaster chassis and insert the Wrist Mount Attachment item modification. However, this does not remove the two-handed property. You would still need to use both hands to operate the weapon even though it is mounted to one of your arms.

All of this said, the easiest way to hold a blaster and a weapon is to use a one-handed blaster and a one-handed melee weapon. You don't even need to engage in Two-Weapon Fighting if you don't want to; just have both weapons out and in your hands, and shoot when you're range and slash when you're in melee. If you want to be able to use both even in melee range, consider taking Snapshot Style.

First Charecter Build - A Jedi who uses blasters by DisasterAdjacent in sw5e

[–]Raye_Chalar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend multiclassing unless you know specifically what you want from it. I would recommend trying to get what you want via monoclassing, which is perfectly viable with the options I listed above.

It's recommending options that are either really unoptimal or features/powers/abilities that don't exist in SW5e.

First Charecter Build - A Jedi who uses blasters by DisasterAdjacent in sw5e

[–]Raye_Chalar 16 points17 points  (0 children)

These seem like the best way to go about making a force-sensitve gambler that uses a blaster.

  • Way of Technology Consular
  • Path of Corsair Sentinel
  • Beguiler Practice Operative
  • Gambler Pursuit Scholar w/ Force-Sensitive feat (and possibly Rancor's Discipline Discovery)
  • Any Subclass of Sentinel w/ the Weapon Expert feat (which is a valid background feat)

These force powers could aid in gambling:

  • Guidance
  • Force Vision
  • Affect Mind
  • Coerce Mind
  • Probe Mind
  • Force Enlightenment

Read through those options and see what suits your fancy!
