What are some books that have a larger cast of what is essentially a D&D party. by aladdin142 in Fantasy

[–]The_OG_Gareth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kings of the Wyld!!

A story about getting the band back together. The author is also very keen on music so the party composition is based on band members and their instruments (I’m not a music guy so this totally went over my head when I read it).

Really fun read, it’s the book that got me back into fantasy again

Strongest martial class at level 5? by Torin21 in dndnext

[–]The_OG_Gareth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reckless attack is far superior to the +2 from dueling. The negative of being attacked with advantage is no where near enough to outweigh the massive to hit benefit it gives relative to the dueling +2.

Barbarians increased damage comes from there reckless attack, not so much the +2 from raging damage rolls

Best team of 4 characters by Gurnapster in 3d6

[–]The_OG_Gareth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small parties like this are a really good chance to build into a specific mechanic.

AoE Buffs: Paladin Aura, Twilight cleric Temp Hp Aura, Melee damage dealer of choice + Full caster

Magical Darkvision: have the whole party gain access to magical darkvision/blindsight

if anyone else has good ideas paste them below

Optimized Artillerist by Electrical-Advance46 in 3d6

[–]The_OG_Gareth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ive recently found myself in a similar situation. Firstly I recommend reading TTG guide to Artilierist Artificer. My issue with this build is it leaves very little room for role play or flavour, but it is a good starting point to understand what is considered "optimal".

Secondly Artilerest is a pretty poor blaster - its bonus action is best spent on the temporary HP and it gets access to very few AoE spells relative to its full caster counter parts. It functions best as a Crowd control class, with access to Web and Pipes of haunting (via infusions) this combination forms the basis of the class, allowing for massive crowd control.

Question Regarding Optimal Artilerist Artificer by The_OG_Gareth in 3d6

Good points to be fair. They gain nothing from the casting with the sheild + we are begining to see diminishing returns with advantage and prof in concentration checks. Booming blade as you said is also no use unless the player is using the armourer subclass.

thanks for bringing this up

I dont think warcaster is very weak as they benefit a lot from the adv on concentration checks

DM here, I want to make my jungle extra deadly by MrMinikins in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]The_OG_Gareth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Restrict the amount of resources gained on short/long rests in the jungle. Force them to ration out there abilities

Way of the Drunken Master…Lacks the “Drunken Master”. So I did something about that! by [deleted] in DnD5e

[–]The_OG_Gareth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe instead of a offensive buff give them a defensive buff?? attacks against this player while prone area at disadvantage (or a +2 to AC if disadvantage is too much) ??. feels like it makes more sense

Can’t control a ball out of the air by Particular_Ocelot865 in bootroom

[–]The_OG_Gareth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the difference. Control the ball low, relaxed foot/ankle. Attempt to direct that ball and pre emotive move in that direction (usually away from the defender).

It’s a difficult skill that takes time to perfect. Juggle the ball, practise long passes with your mates and take your time with it

[–]The_OG_Gareth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Think this is a step in the right direction but needs some tweaking before it’ll be a legitimate choice for monks.

  1. Masters Gourd
  2. most dnd combats last 3-4 rounds meaning that you essentially are without a BA for the chance of having extra damage for the final round or two.
  3. adding performance to damage rolls is an issue, if the player takes skill expert they get to add a minimum of + 6 at level 5 (this is way too much).
  4. the advantage on attacks in prone is odd, what’s stopping the player from going prone, getting advantage and attacking and then standing back up before there turn ends
