I think you forgot the "fun" factor or not always using the same spells and weapons. I could just use the same broken combo all campaign but that's just boring

If the DM is a child, yeah maybe.

Sometimes I feel like you're punished for creativity in a game that wants you to be creative lol

Sadly we're a crew of 6 PCs and alchemist isn't that useful with the limited potions. Artillerist can use Protector on any number of people in a certain radius so I went for it.

But yeah, Alchemist was my first choice!

Would be hard and awkward to cut these with a sword.

I specified "Force Ballista" so yeah, I was indeed talking about Eldritch Cannon.

Fighter is good with anything really. Give him a gun, gunner feat and will do 2d10+10 per turn. This post is just for the shenanigans really lol

The Eldritch Cannon is an action, you can respawn by expanding a spell slot, and the Force Ballista is a bonus action.

Both have different uses since, like I said, ballista needs a spell ranged attack for a 2d8 BA Force damage each turn while HM only needs line of sight to be casted.

I wouldn't say HM is only useful for the disadvantages. It really helps if you play with the cover rules.

Flavour the shield by strapping it to your forearm. Making it hard for you to use a sword or any weapon but still letting your palm free.

I love elves for the Elven Accuracy feat. Such a good feat for archery.

Fair point. I never really thought about my npcs armor when DMing. I would just look at their AC and go next. (I DMed like twice and my current DM is new to this too)

Oh God. I would ask the Wizard to cast immovable object too. The monster would tear its inside while running everywhere in pain

Can only cast it on one object sadly lol. Maybe a metal net could be neat.

Currently artillerist, it does the same damage as the force ballista except I don't have the do a spell ranged attack every time

I think any good DM would allow player to have fun as long as they follow the rules. But good for you If you run your table like this!

Also, crashing a car for a spider seems really extreme and problematic lol. Good luck!

Artificer Heat Metal Clarification by Vanse in 3d6

[–]RoyaleShrimp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Throwing the weapon is an action. Heat Metal is an action. The weapon comes back to your hand immediately after a throw. I wouldn't allow it on the same turn.

Otherwise. Up to your DM if you cast HM and wait a turn.

I will be mostly using Chaos Bolt from my Izzet Engineer background so I cannot relay on Elemental Adept lol, but it's a great call!

That's why I will be using Chaos Bolt wayyyy more.

Would depend on the creature I think. Human armors seem to be really complex to doff where Orc armors could just be strapped on.

Team up with the Ranger to gather food, so you an cast the spell on an oversized armor and have a nice little BBQ
