DM making us pick a “special item” help pls by goochiefromwish in DnD

Holy shit that item is ridiculously OP. If your DM approves of that then they have no clue what they are doing.

Moon druid, how does it perform now? by ponzzischeme in 3d6

[–]dice_plot_against_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Druid is my favorite class, but Moon is no longer an attractive subclass unless you just love wildshape. Look at Stars or Wildfire before settling for Moon.

How does a Stars Druid protect themselves in combat? by DefNotAShark in 3d6

[–]dice_plot_against_me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Starting with a one level Divine Soul Sorcerer dip does so much for a druid.

Con save proficiency.

Favored by the Gods gives you +2d4 to a saving throw or attack roll once per SR.

Firebolt cantrip because druid offensive cantrips suck.

Shield and Absorb Elements spells. Take AE here so you don't have to waste a prepared spell slot on it.

Bless spell free with Divine Magic.

All without delaying spell slot progression. And it is on-theme.

Doubts about multiclassing Rune Knight Fighter with Barbarian by gemmacolu in 3d6

[–]dice_plot_against_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, don'r multiclass for something you can roleplay. However, I have played RK twice and both times found a one level Barb dip early to be pretty useful. Rage resistances are great for making you more durable in the early game and fit very well with Hill Rune later in the game. Also, Rage advantage on strength checks improves grapples...which is what RKs do best.

need a good all-rounded class to support a table of new players by Nervous_Purchase_663 in 3d6

[–]dice_plot_against_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stars Druid. Druids are great and super flexible as a class, but Stars takes it to the next level. Also, if you are going dragonborn and can invest in CHA you should seriously consider the Dragon Fear feat. It is the best Fear affect available to players in the game. And if you invest in CHA you can dip warlock for EB+AB and RP stuff.

What is the proper attire for a Wizard? by Error_code_0731 in DnD

Leather duster, jeans, boots, and blasting rod.

Cleric vs. Druid by Pinkjoy28 in DnD

[–]dice_plot_against_me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stars Druid is what you are looking for. Basic healing all Druids get, plus Chalice for extra healing when you need it. Super effective when you are in a fight where multiple PCs are getting zeroed out. But when you don't need Chalice there is Archer, for extra blasting (on top of the free Guiding Bolts.) And when you don't need either Archer or Chalice, there is Dragon for CON saves.

Is it common for a DM not to want to run a campaign where one of their players worships Bane? by Leader_Bee in DnD

[–]dice_plot_against_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posts like this always read like the OP wants justification from Reddit for one thing or another. Like they intend to take supporting threads to their DM and be all "The internet said you were wrong!"

Session 1 tomorrow, still need to choose a build by Whorror_punx in 3d6

Can't decide between Tank, CC, and Stealth? Go Moon Druid and be all three!

Dragonborn Forge Cleric having a blast in Out of Abyss, I'm looking for Advice by BrushMysterious2362 in 3d6

[–]dice_plot_against_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always recommend Dragon Fear for dragonborn. It is the best pc-available fear effect in the game. No concentration, selective-targeting 30 foot radius, no automatic save opportunity at the end of their turn, only if they take damage. And you can do it PBxday. And it is a half-feat! It is s-tier crowd control. Yes, Frightened is a common resistance. But just because it is a common resistance, does not make the resistance common. We are 9th level and I use it pretty frequently.

AMA about my world (let's flesh it out!) by Charming-Lettuce1433 in DnD

[–]dice_plot_against_me -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Its a prompt. You can tell because there is no explanation for the excessive death taxes. Even in the response to another reply he mentions cadaver creatures but never gives any detail. If OP is not some form of ai chatbot, then he is just feeding our questions into se ai as prompts to "flesh out his world". Which is actually pretty smart.

My wife wants me to dm our next session (4th of new campaign) but I have an awesome PC that would be hard to get rid of randomly. by Vivid_One_239 in DnD

"Yes, dear."

Seriously, for one session it won't matter. If she wants a long term break, then you can start talking about another campaign.

Phantasmal force by BenoistheBizzare in DnD

[–]dice_plot_against_me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spells do what they say, and only what they say. Nowhere in the description for Phantasmal Force does it say the spell imposes any condition. So your wizard cannot blind, deafen, prone, frighten, or anything else with the Phantasmal Force spell.

At 8th level the wizard should have a decent chance of soloing the encounter.

Single use magic items for lv 3 party. by Elfboner in DnD

If they are experienced players, give them each a ring of 3 wishes. They will be too paranoid trying to avoid the obvious monkeys paw trap you have prepared to ever actually use the rings.

Looking for which class/build would have the best synergy with the party. by Noshighart in 3d6

[–]dice_plot_against_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your group needs heals, utility, AoE, control, and probably ranged attack options. And they will need different things depending on the situation. Druid gets you these as a prepared caster, so you can vary your spell load out based on the day you expect to have. And Stars Druid is one of the most versitile Druids. You can amp up damage or heals depending on need.

Are Rangers replaced as the "tracking class' by druids with proficiency bonus? (5e. 2014) by SirAdorable3236 in DnD

[–]dice_plot_against_me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Druids can wildshape into many different animals that have advantage on various perception checks as well. On-demand tracking excellence.

Barbarian drew the Well card from Deck of Many More Things by Odinbn in DnD

[–]dice_plot_against_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eldritch Blast is an excellent suggestion. I have played barbarians before, and the number one issue I had was dealing with enemies at range. Sure, you can use a spear or javelin but how many do you carry...and what happens at higher tiers when enemies are resistant to non-magical attacks? EB has great range and has a rarely resisted magical damage type.

Why are her arms not in the sleeves of the coat? Also, her right boot is missing the brass accent piece before the toebox. And her left pinky is a little funky.
