/5eg/ D&D Fifth Edition General: Artificer Edition

Delete this

I'm in two games with artificer alchemists, both at 5th level now. One is having a decent time with it, using thunderstone often, but the other is bored because it's basically a warlock-type "spam at-will with a few tricks per rest" class, but even more focused than the warlock due to the nature of its subclasses.

So
Warlock and Sorcerer
How to bring them up to par with wizard?

Why is the mariner fighting style just better than the defense fighting style?

>>51421474
Because Dex is a more useful stat than Strength unless you're the Ultratank Eldritch Knight build that wants Heavy Armor Master.

>>51421288
You are one pathetic shitstain.

>>51421222
All OPs, fucking delete the discord links. It only promotes shitflinging and shitposting.

It brings medium armor up to heavy armor but doesn't allow for the use of a shield, while defense can stack with both heavy armor and a shield for ridiculous AC gains.

What is the best thing to do with Mystic's conquering mind?

I'm planing a campaign for the future and was considering implementing these changes for Bladelocks.

Not sure if anything else will get changed but that is what I have for Bladelocks in particular

>>51421638
There's still some problems with that, though it's better than normal.

Consider allowing them to add their warlock level to damage with it instead of their Charisma modifier--that way it starts good and scales well, should keep them on-par with martials and make a solid replacement for EB. It also gives them a reason to stick with warlock instead of multiclassing (though it would still be good with, say, paladin or sorcerer).

It may also be good to add a little more defense or mobility, since if they get into melee they're still squishy and MAD. Medium armor and shield proficiency might help, or you could give them +2 AC while wielding their pact weapon and in light armor.

What are the best rituals to pick up and is fly or counterspell a better choice on a warlock?

>>51422081
Counterspell is just always a good choice.

>>51422103
That's what I was thinking, especially since I can pick up investiture of wind in a level or two.

>>51421736
Wouldn't that just make bladelocks objectively better than barbarians in terms of damage? You'd be doing way more than rage damage past 5th level and you'd have spells to increase your damage and survivability as well as hinder your enemies. Not to mention without charisma scaling on your attacks you could reliably pick mountain dwarf/variant human with moderately armoured to get the same amount of defense, then stack your physical stats without caring for charisma at all since you could just pick up buffs or auto-hit spells like hex and armour of agathys.

With that in mind it goes without saying that giving them automatic medium armour proficiency would just make things worse, and there's no way you could give them effectively a two hander with shield effect in any remotely balanced way. Bladelock isn't exactly ideal, but there's no sense in just making them a barbarian with spells.

>>51422216
Look at the post you just made. Do you not understand why everyone hates you and wants to remove the discord from the OP?

>>51422216
Go. Away. All of you.

>>51422216
You just conflated the shitflinging autist who created Discord 2:Cancer Boogaloo with an anon who just wants Discord removed from /5eg/ entirely.

Congratulations, you're retarded. Now all of you discord fuckers >>>/out/

Tbh this discord drama is the funnest part about 5eg. I'm just glad all the right people got banned.

>>51422232
The damage bit is fair. I had forgotten that when I originally did some math on it, I had done "warlock level damage once per turn" with no stacking on extra attack. That way it would work with GFB or BB and you don't always have to do an extra attack. I believe my napkin math put it around or slightly above EB, but still way behind GWM and SS martials, with hex factored in.

>>51422353
Drama is never fun, just tedious.

What would you recommend me for a cunning and trickster character?

>>51422426
That's not true at all. For people invested in the community this is like a soap opera or episode of Jerry Springer. Truly the most exciting thing to happen to 5e in quite a while.

>>51422432
An arcane trickster. Then trickster would be in the name and you could constantly use cunning action.

>>51422463
"the community" isn't 5eg, its a specific subset in a different place, so take it back there. This is two abstractions of meta from D&D 5e

Everyone talked about cha-based shillelagh. But what about Arcane Cleric Wis based shillelagh (via maic initiate)

>>51422743
What is the benefit of arcana cleric specifically? And shillelagh is normally wis-based and can be gotten by anyone with magic initiate.

The discord server is a cool place for alot of us to hang out and talk about the game with a community that's generally pretty chill. There is no problem with it existing or being here, aside from one faggot who banned for attempting to doxx someone and won't shut up about how his discord is the "official" one now (despite being a hugbox with less than 20 active members).

Point is, the discord link is fine for the other 99.9% of us who aren't faggots.

>>51422821
Wis Based GFB.

>>51422841
The amount of shitposting from the original discord suggests otherwise.

>>51422872
>GFB
What?

>>51422821
>>51422827
Arcana cleric level 8 ability. You add WIS to your cantrip damage.

So GFB or BB shillelagh at that level will do 2d8+WIS+WIS (not including secondary effect), the same as Undying light tomelock.

>>51422885
Green Flame Blade.

>>51422884
You're aware the original discord just wants this thing to die, right? And that all of the shitposting is coming from one guy who's samefagging for attention.

Like seriously, go on the original discord, nobody there is talking about this because we've all decided perpetuating the drama is ban-worthy.

Until this whole thing happened, I never once saw anyone complain about the discord link being posted in the opening post. Nobody is stopping you from chatting about anything else, here, anonymously.

The only reason this is an issue is because of one person who thrives on the attention their trolling causes, and it's a damn shame that it's working so well.

What was Sunless Citadel about, friend?

>>51423081
Fucking Tomb of Horrors? Absolutely.

>>51423153
Sunless Citadel was the first module WotC put out for 3e. It consists of small town called Oakhurst, and a large two-level dungeon called the Sunless Citadel. Oakhurst has a few hooks in it (mysterious figures in the night, livestock disappearing, two local adventuring nobles going missing) that leads you to the Citadel.

Inside is a kobold warren looking for their lost white wyrmling, an elven priest sealed away after becoming part-troll, various corridors filled with traps, a massive goblinoid warren, eventually leading to the evil druid in control of it all, who is manipulating the goblinoids to create blights from the evil Gulthias Tree.

It's the origin of twig blights, as well, which have been expanded in the 5e MM.

>>51423100
You don't add the same modifier twice.
>GFB for 2d8+5 to main target, then 1d8+5 to the second.

>>51423215
There's no such rule in 5e outside of proficiency bonus. If you have features that let you add a modifier more than once, you add it more than once.

>>51423016

>>51423081
Assuming the established 258 page count for Wizards adventures, they'll only be devoting 36 pages to each adventure (if all things are equal), will they even do these adventures justice?

Am I the only person who hates the Warlock?

It always seems to be a part of the most minmaxed builds, has a habit of attracting edge lords and Bladelocks are the worst thing I've ever had to deal with.

They should never have made one of the core options for a caster be "You get a super cool devil sword". Every time I DM there's always at least one guy who comes up demanding that I use his homebrew fix that's retarded, and then plays a Paladin Warlock multiclass. It's not an original idea, often makes very little sense and very rarely do I get a good explanation for the Paladin levels.

I dunno if it's just my experience but I often have to ask Warlock players to change characters because it's either some op multiclass or is just a bad character in a party dynamic.

>>51423269
Warlocks are hard to min-max without cross-classing, at least in comparison to other classes like the Macree Fighter build.

That being said, I hate Warlocks because in 9/10 situations, their best course of action every single turn is to spam Eldritch Blast and they might as well be pic-related.

>>51423291
Its a front loaded class, so one of the most common ways to see it is minmaxing fuckholes.

>>51423305
While I understand what you're getting at, that turret is hella cool.

>>51423291
A 2-3 level dip gives you so much.

>>51423305

>>51423215
Are you confusing 5e with pathflounder or ssomething.

>>51423258
Many of those adventures were originally very short, page-count-wise. White Plume Mountain (probably the longest of the lot) was only 18 pages, including maps (and with huge type). Sunless Citadel was 33, including all the maps and introduction stuff. Against the Giants is 36-ish with maps.

They should be able to fit it in fine.

>>51422526
For that matter, what happened to the DMs Guild in the OP? Is there a backup somewhere?

>>51423357
The account that held the DMs Guild and main troves was terminated. I didn't have a Mega backup of the DMs Guild trove like I did the main trove, and interest was so minimal that it wasn't worth reuploading everything.

The way the spell is written:
>As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must
>make a melee attack with a weapon against one creature
>within the spell's range, otherwise the spell fails.
>On a hit, the target suffers the attack's normal effects,
>and green fire leaps from the target to a different creature
>of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of it.
>The second creature takes fire damage equal to your
>spellcasting ability modifier.
>This spell's damage increases when you reach higher
>levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8
>fire damage to the target, and the fire damage to the second
>creature increases to 1d8 +your spellcasting ability
>modifier. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th
>level and 17th level.
Primary target:
1st - nothing
5th - 1d8
11th - 2d8
17th - 3d8
Secondary (leap to) target:
1st - Spellcasting Ability Modifier
5th - 1d8+Spellcasting Ability Modifier
11th - 2d8+Spellcasting Ability Modifier
17th - 3d8+Spellcasting Ability Modifier
Your Spellcasting Ability Modifier only gets added once, and only to the second target. (If it's Wisdom because of the Arcane Cleric and you have 20 Wisdom it's +5)
It could possibly be added more times if there was some kind of class feature but I'm not aware of one.

>>51423393
Weapon attack is 1d8+WIS, because of shillelagh.

>>51423393
>Arcana Domain: Potent Spellcasting
>Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

I did some searches for a Sage Advice on it but it's not clear. Potent Spellcasting doesn't have the limitation that the dragon sorc and evocation wizard have, but it's not clear if it gets added to both targets or not.

>>51423393
Weapon attack: 1d8+wis (shillelagh, not counting as cleric cantrip)
GFB primary target: 1d8+wis (arcana domain level 8 feature)
GFB secondary target: 1d8+wis (GFB normal damage)

Is there any non-homebrew way to change the damage type of Eldritch Blast?

>>51423526
Nope.

>>51423526
No.

Does anyone actually allow Theurge in their games though? I've never seen any DMs who aren't first-timers allow the class, since it's essentially a wizard who gets access to an entire separate class's spell-list while retaining their own and essentially trades nothing for it.

Most people who use milestones do it too slowly. XP is actually pretty quick in 5e if you are doing a reasonable number of combats.

>>51423472
>>51423475
>>51423488
Ah, skimmed the previous posts and wasn't seeing all that.

I believe >>51423488 is correct except that the secondary target also gets the Potent Spellcasting damage.

For that matter, both parts of Booming Blade would also get the Potent Spellcasting damage.
Each source of damage gets the mod in this case, unless they change it with Errata like they did Empowered Evocation.

If you happen to be using Empowered Evocation (Wizard Evocation school) and hitting with Green-Flame Blade for whatever reason, then you only add your INT mod once because the rolls are separate. There is nothing strictly determining which roll to apply it to--the primary target or the jump target, so you can choose (in my opinion, since there is no ruling on it and nothing in the books to dictate it). Similar to Scorching Ray.

By the way, for spells like Scorching Ray, I would advise rolling for damage in the same throw as the roll to hit, and choosing which roll gets the INT bonus /before/ you roll. So it's like "Ah, I rolled 6 and 6 +INT but that one missed. I PUSH MY FINGERS INTO MY..." This way you don't cheese it and say "Of course I just add the bonus to one of the attacks that hits!"

>>51423839

>Six to eight combat encounters per DAY.

Fucking geezus man. My game's had two major combat encounter in the last 3 sessions, and each session has been like 3 days time in-game.

Like, I understand if it's a dungeon crawl or something, but damn, in any other situation it's nice to be able to have interests outside of being killbots.

>>51423862
In my (granted, limited) experience, the average game that levels at fuckall speed ends up with far more time than anything else dedicating to fucking around and discussing relatively trivial shit

>>51423940
>>51423893
Not >>51423862 but XP works fine if you include social encounters like the DMG suggests.

>>51423940
Here's the thing though, that's how both progression and spell slots are balanced.
So if you don't have X xp worth of encounters in a rough day, you are going "slower" than intended. Most milestone campaigns I've seen level once or twice per arc, comparatively, you will level roughly 1/X sessions, where tier level from the PHB=X, using XP, particularly if you are including non-combat XP. If not, it may drop to 1/x+1, but that still is far faster than any milestone game i've played.

I'm currently running a (non-firearm, per player request) pirate campaign where encounters and loot are themed together, and the party is rewarded for rabble-rousing.

What can i do to make this more fun for players while not being hell for me to manage?

What would you as a player want to see in this setting?

Any ideas for some magical items? I have some that i am using, but need many more.

>>51423982
Who in the actual fuck uses EXP points nowadays? It's just extra book-keeping. I tend to just give my players level-ups when they complete plot arcs or otherwise hit important story milestones.

>>51423984
Is the party literally rewarded for causing havoc? The only good way i could personally handle that, is to have someone over their heads demanding change. Chaotic god, rebellion, coup, pretender to the throne, the one true king, something like that.

Oh gee, i wonder why so many people never hit level 10.

People don't hit level 10 because the game tends to fall apart mechanically around level 12 or 14, especially with casters in the party. By level 10, the player characters are pretty much demi-gods in comparison to most mortals in the setting... but unless you're after some Skyrim-esque power fantasy, it's not a whole lot of fun to play. Past that point the game just becomes an ever inflating power-creep of demons, gods, and extra-dimensional being, and any pretense of the characters being relateable or interesting as normal people goes out the window faster the protagonists of a shonen character who's manga has running for 800 chapters.

Do you usually draw your PCs, /5eg/?

>>51423925
I actually don't really get the whole 'never beyond 10' statistic.

I think it's more a symptom of how groups can't stick together more than using milestones

>>51424032
I'd disagree pretty heavily, I think DMs are just not willing to actually put obstacles in the way of their casters.

The only mechanical problems I have beyond 12 or so is how easy resurrection is and how little high level monsters and such we get.

>>51424003
They are within constraints. The captain rewards per slave captured, they keep gold of their kills, etc.

I plan on them "borrowing" a treasure map from an infamous pirate crew, and the rewards take them to a new world island setting where they search for untold riches. And piss off a lot of tropical gods on the way. Not to mention the pirates they stole from and the hardass navy.

>>51424006
I had been thinking of repurposing, but I dont want to offer the players too much at one time. For the most part I am looking for small bits of low loot that they can grab off the corpse of a captain.

For instance, one encounter has boots that assist in jumping, so if you are close enough, you don't have to grapple aboard and make a few checks for it, you can just make a huge ass jump and get first feet on the enemy ship.

I like the bit about curses... I'll look into that.

Warlock can't, it's designed like a martial with its short rest spell slots and eldritch blast. I think you'd have to rework either the "always highest level spell slot" or "spell slots back on short rest" mechanic if you want to make them more like wizards.

Sorcerers need better metamagic options, or spell points

>>51424045
Of course, either way a group plays will theoretically end up higher than 10, but, in my experience, the groups that use XP are more likely to do so more quickly. That results in groups falling apart before that mark less frequently, although perhaps only in level, and not in IRL time.

>>51424076
>small bits of low loot that they can grab off the corpse of a captain
Weak to average strength magic amulets may be worthwhile, as captains would always have the best stuff.
If it's another pirate captain, he'd probably have something really worthwhile on his corpse, after a tough fight, as it's quite likely rare magic items would turn up in plunder, like a ring or two.

If you add a Blackbeard ripoff which you should I'd recommend some wearable item akin to Blackbeard's use of lit fuses in his beard for intimidation.

>For instance, one encounter has boots that assist in jumping, so if you are close enough, you don't have to grapple aboard and make a few checks for it, you can just make a huge ass jump and get first feet on the enemy ship.
That's pretty cool, immediately useful loot is always appreciated.

A Moby Dick that keeps coming back, I love it.

>>51424139
I mean I houserule resurrection questlines, but on the vanilla mechanical side it's a high level flaw.

On that same note I definitely make at least important NPCs equivalent to PCs in almost every sense. Captain of the guard sure acts high and mighty, might as well have him be a level 10 fighter to rival the parties'

>>51424144
I think your flaw is in
>players kill the whale
>while dragging body back during night, ropes become cut
Unless your players just play along, they really have no reason to kill it, and if they do, why do they need to drag it along. Even if they do, they should probably be using chains, and how are they towing a whale big enough to be a threat?

>>51424006
Definitely play of the PotC davy jones stuff. Some sort of cursed magic item that can be de-cursed only through divine intervention or the power of love.

They'll never figure it out.

How long do the combat encounters in 5e take?

>>51424100
I like the hat and leather idea.

First Mates can always use free morale boosts. In a ship setting, getting knocked overboard is pretty much a 6+ turn knockout unless you are real good at climbing or have use of magical rope to prevent grapple tactics.

Octo box seems more like a demigod gifted item to me, but uses range from great to borderline broken.

>>51424144
>>51424178
Could be dragging back the whale for a bounty from not!Ahab.

>>51424184

Hey gang
I'm looking for a game. Have played plenty of 3.5 and pathfinder, just can't find IRL games because my GM and all the players in my group who weren't That Guy moved away.

>>51424178
I thought about adding in a Cap. Ahab charaxter to ask to go whale harpooning with them. Just for obvious plothook reasons. Giving him a whale detecting amulet would be neat.

>also for detecting fat wenches, yarr.

I have made a point to make loot very lucrative for the players. Barrels of salt or wine can be sold just like silk and jewelry. Its all a matter of finding a buyer.

Plus with a whale hunter around, he would want a prize. Is it smart to dedicate an NPC to whale hunting though?

My 8 wisdom Monk begs to differ.

>>51424271
Here's how you play an unarmed fighter with barbarian:

At level 20 you do 2d4+11 damage per turn

Meanwhile a monk is doing 4d10 + 5 damage. And has pretty much the only Save-or-Die in the game.

I just want to Asura's Wrath my way through a campaign. Is that too much to ask?

>>51422898
Shillelagh changes a weapon but the damage comes from the weapon, not the spell so you wouldn't apply the modifier from the 8th level ability.

>>51424298

The second wis came from casting the spell Green-flame blade / Booming blade.

In SKT, in Zephyros's tower, there is Navigation Orb, which, if destroyed, can strand the tower. But I can't find AC or health for it in those pages, or in appendix B. No details on how to rule whether it gets destroyed or not.

Am I just overlooking something?

Not as sure on this one, but its where my mind went.

Planning on running a warlock with a fiend patron and a tome pact with heavy emphasis on killing other wizards to loot their ritual spells. I'm snagging mage slayer as a first level feat and then grabbing hold person, hex (obviously), and shillelagh and shocking grasp via the tome pact to make Mage Slayer more effective. Does this anti-mage warlock build sound feasible?

>>51424555
At a minimum, its a lantern that doesn't need oil. Not needing fire is always a plus on a boat.

>>51424563
Nah. Theurge never have text that change WIS to INT.

>>51424604
Point well taken. Shaving small costs off adds up.

>>51424564
I don't hate that it's the best unarmed fighter. I hate that it's the ONLY unarmed fighter. I think it's kind of bullshit that the only unarmed fighting class also is forced by RAW to meditate for 30 minutes before it can use its abilities, can heal itself, and can turn invisible.

>>51424578
Beware of 8INT 19 STR wizard.

>>51424248
Cause monks get 3 attacks per turn at lvl 5 and are the best damage dealers among non-casters at lower levels.

It's only after lvl 10 or so when they start falling behind other martials due to no scaling damage boosts (barb), no extra attacks (fighter) , no fighting styles they could use besides maybe dueling and even for that they have to multiclass, no feats that boost their damage output like GWM/Sharpshooter.
And then they even have the SAME Hp like Rogue while unable to pump Con because they need Wis for AC/Ki saves.

I let them have a few goodies as a housrule:
>d10Hp die
>Extra attack 2 at lvl 12
>An extra ASI so they have 6 and can afford a feat

It breaks absolutely nothing and after the playtests it was meant to be like this originally as they stated multiple times.
It's just that someone in WotC seems to hate the class as a whole (despite it being introduced together with paladin and ranger).

>>51424304
>Having LESS than 10 AC

>>51423269
>>51423291

I got forced into Warlock by my DM, but I'm warming up to it.

I think the problem people have with bladelocks is aggressive minmaxing. I like it for the flavour - not the edginess, just because my character got imprisoned at one point, and it would have been helpful to have a weapon. Makes sense that he'd go that way, especially with a Rogue/Swashbuckler dip.

>>51424144
Cute and stolen for my ocean campaign

>>51424872
I would never understand the hate boner towards the monks, the retards who hate the class can fuck right off into a wall.

>>51424913
Forced into Warlock? Was it a story reason or...?

>>51424248
Look, if I were DMing, I'd allow you to make a 6 dex 6 wis monk if you really wished

I'd also laugh at how that forces you to have 6 AC if you're not wearing armour, and you're penalized for wearing armour.


For people like you otherwise, pugilist exists. I don't honestly think it's all that great but if you really want someone who uses strength and punches (Very little difference to a monk using dexterity and punching) then .. That's the only reason pugilist exists.

But, honestly, 5e is supposed to make sense and it makes sense that strong people are better off fighting with WEAPONS than punching everything.

You could also play a suboptimal barbarain or a shield+fist barbarian who grapples with his free hand and punches the shit out of people.

>>51424651
Make an Unarmed fighting style then.

>Brawler

While not wearing a shield your unarmed strikes deal 1d4 damage (use either Str or Dex for attack and damage rolls).
At lvl 6 you gain an additional +1 bonus to damage rolls with unarmed strikes and when someone moves through a space within 5ft of you without using the disengage action you may use your reaction to hit them with an unarmed strike and halve their movement speed.

>>51424929

>>51424872
>best damage of the non-casters
At the lowest levels, a GWM fighter, crossbow rogue, PAM paladin and berzerker or PAM or GWM barbarian can outdamage monk. Those all require feats, but why wouldn't you want feats? That said, a monk with 18 or 20 dex might be able to outdamage most of the above.

At level 5, monk mostly falls further behind compared to the GWM 2d6 user guys above, but the others they're still fairly on-par with. They get stunning strike, however.

While I say that, they're not bad damage dealers. They're just certainly not the best. It won't be denied however they have their place once you start to consider stunning strike and open hand knocking people around.

I don't really feel they need an extra attack in the later levels (Seriously, that's fighter's unique ability), but they are certainly squishy (squishier than rogue, and rogues can fight at range). Maybe some smaller later level feature would be good rather than an entire extra attack, not sure what though.

>>51424929
Monks are by far the easiest class to make a bad fucking monk in if you don't know what you're doing because of how stat dependent they are.

>>51423893
It's what a party can handle, not what they have to. It also disagrees with the tables, which would say 6 to 8 easy to medium encounters. In this case I'd go with the table for having more weight and revise it to a somewhat lower number of medium to hard encounters. 3 to 7.

I made an attempt at a Theurgist fix today.

>Divine Inspiration
Pick a divine domain from the following:
- Arcana
- Knowledge
- Light

>Divine Initiate
You learn the Thaumaturgy cantrip, and one other Cleric cantrip of your choice, as Wizard cantrips. Additionally, whenever you gain a wizard level, you can choose to replace one of the Wizard spells you add to your spellbook with a Cleric domain spell for your chosen domain. The spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots. Spells learned this way are Wizard spells for you.
These are spells granted to you from your dedication to your faith, in the form of prayers you have recorded and studied intensely. As such, other wizards who are not of the school of theurgy cannot copy these cleric spells from your spellbook into their own

>Channel Arcana
Left the same.

>Channel Arcana: Divine Arcana
As a bonus action, you speak a prayer to control the flow of magic around you. This effect can manifest in one of two ways. If the next spell you cast requires an attack roll, you may gain advantage on that roll. If the next spell you cast requires the target or targets make a saving throw, you may make those targets gain disadvantage on that roll.

>Arcane Acolyte
At 6th level, you gain your chosen domain's 1st level benefits. However, you do not gain any armor proficiencies from your domain.

Left as is.

>Arcane Priest
At 10th level, you gain your chosen domain's 6th level benefits. Your faith and your understanding of magic allow you to delve into your god's secrets.

Left Alone

>Divine Intervention:
You may add your Wisdom modifier in addition to your regular Intelligence modifier to the attack rolls and spell save DCs of spells you cast. In addition, if any spell allows you to add your Intelligence modifier to the damage roll, you may add your wisdom modifier as well.

Pretty major changes

>>51424979
I agree.
I personally don't like the class as much as I like rangers for example but there's a certain appeal to this "muscle wizard" class.
Ranger already got their buff in the UA .
Now I think it's the turn for monk and sorcerer to get their fix.

What Sorcerer should get:
>d8 Hp die
>one lvl 1 spell they can cast as a cantrip (at its lowest level) - this should be a lvl 6-9 feature
>at lvl 17 or 18 two metamagic options that only cost one sorcery point are free of their sorcery point cost.
>Maybe throw in a free proficiency with either Persuasion or Intimidation into the mix and let it carry over into multuclassing.

What monk should get:
>d10 Hp die
>using their reaction to execute an unarmed strike or FOB on a non-disengaging target moving within 5ft of them
>Some concentration based ki ability that boosts their damage for a 1d10 once per round. Make it cost 3 ki and let it be a part of the "Ki enhanced strikes feature" that currently lets them overcome the "non-magic weapon resistance" with their unarmed strikes.

No other class is going to get a revision, not until they're ready to move on to some sort of full game revision. Ranger only got a revision because of how shit-awful people rated it in surveys, and rightfully so.

Has anyone used the UA Sharpshooter archetype for fighter?

Im thinking of making a crossbowman with it, and im not sure if I should just stick with Battle Master.

Or to switch entirely and go with a glaive and go polearm focused.

>>51425208
Battle Master with the sharpshooter feat will probably be more fun.

>>51425188
You're right, Ranger was near on worthless compared to everyone else. It had nothing where it could out do every other class, even in survival their powers weren't all that great.

Monk and Sorcerer are most likely the next weakest but they still have moments where they shine. Ranger needed the fix.

>>51425208
Sharpshooter is really just for games without feats, otherwise just taking the same name feat is just as good.

>>51425208

Yeah, my character got sacrificed to Vhaeraun and I made a deal to serve him if I could live again. DM said I had to take my next level in Warlock (GOO).

The whole thing was a bit bullshitty, I was trying to make a magic mirror betray its owner and the next game day I was magicked away, tortured, then sacrificed, without anyone being able to do anything about it.

I only got to resurrect my character at all because the DM sensed people weren't very happy with how it turned out.

>>51425180
>>51425203

I think the easiest fix would just be to give them more spell slots. It's the strangest thing that they have the exact same number of slots as a wizard, they should have more to compensate for having lesser spells known. Like how warlocks know very few tricks but can use them at-will.

Dragonborn do make good Paladins tho

>>51425279
You have to redesign their features, at least slightly, in order to do that.
The Spellcasting feature means something very specific, which is why it works at all with multiclassing.

>>51425268
What about Barbarians?

>>51425296
Travis is the best player period, despite 0 experience. When he got petrified was fucking fantastic.

>>51425292
>>51425296

They're not the best pick in either area. Fighters don't need Cha so you're better off with a Half-Orc or variant Human, and Paladin is better with Half-Elf because you get all your important stat boosts still while also getting more skills and languages to face with.

>>51425299

Again, Horc is better.

>>51425180
>one lvl 1 spell they can cast as a cantrip (at its lowest level) - this should be a lvl 6-9 feature

That's about the point a cantrip starts approaching a level 1 spell in power; so it'd be good for utility (shield!.... wait, shield is not on sorc list, is it?) but for bursty sorcerers it'd be eh.

players traversed their way on a surefire path up a mountain. it was dangerous but they made it. they did what they needed to do their last session and ended it in a cave near the top. now they need to head back down and plan on taking the same path.

seems like it'd be boring for them to run them through the same environmental hazards again. expedite this process? is that the best method? should i subvert expectations and have a landslide occur? a blizzard, icing the path and making it tougher?

what would you do? im fairly new to DMing so this is the first issue of "backtracking" that i've dealt with.

>>51425348
What was the weather like as they hiked? Were there any big crashes and loud noises in the cave?

the cave contained a medusa and her gargoyle pets which they killed, so all i quiet on that front.

I dunno. A really strong area attack from level 1 (something paladins don't normally get until ridiculously late) and 24/7 resistance to a single damage type are both great features.

Eeh, nah.
That's rounding out their weaknesses, which is boring. Instead, more things like the >cast a level 1 spell at-will
Except you can probably bet it'd be 'shield' or something. So..

I still think the 'evolving spell line' idea works well for sorcerer. It covers the lack of spells for different dragon types, it covers the lack of spells known in a way that doesn't make them like wizards, it's flavourful (You can cast something similar to fireball, you can also cast simple fire spells weaker than fireball as you need)

And I don't really feel extra proficiencies are going to help.

Sorcerer 'create your own spell' factory when
>start with hardly any points, X
>costs Y points to turn it into an AoE, then Z points to continue to increase the AoE's size
>costs A points to double its range
>costs B points to increase damage
>you get C points for every spell level you increase the spell by
>choose from a simple free effect like 'sets stuff on fire'
>D points to choose from a more useful effect
So forth. Or, I don't know, make it more like the gunsmith's attacks and then their spells are extra.

So my buddy's invited me to his game that he wants to first time GM, and I think he's running LMoP?

What's a good origin city for a character from around there? She'll be a cloistered sister, so she'll kind of be from two places, I guess? An origin city and then somewhere a chapel or monastery of Mystra or Azuth or like just a pantheon or whatever.

I've never played in a FR setting before.

Which city has more... like... middling human nobles or merchants?

>>51425459
Fluid Druid.

>>51425331
It's mainly meant for utility and yes shield is on the Sorcerrers spell list.
So maybe limit it to spells targeting ones self and enemies to prevent players from quickening/twinning shields on the whole party.

Burning Hands, Charm Person, Chromatic Orb, Color Spray, Comprehend Languages, Detect Magic, Disguise Seif, Expeditious Retreat, False Life, Feather Fall, Fog Cloud, Jump, Mage Armor, Magic Missile, Ray of Sickness, Shield, Silent Image, Sleep, Thunderwave and Witch Bolt sound pretty damn fine as spells-turned into cantrips.

>>51425459
Druid for furries (Fuck as an animal)
Paladin for street whores (Immune to STDs)
Wizard for not-sluts mindfuckers (Fool people into thinking they're having sex)
Rogue for mundane sex (Great sex checks)
Bard for a bit of wizard and bit of rogue. (Jack of all trades, mindfuck magic, expertise, charisma and dex)
Barbarian for absolute rough fucking.
Monk for attacking the weak points (and stunningly good sex tampered with wisdom)
Fighter if you want to break time and have sex twice in one round and also more sex feats (Action surge)
Warlock if you're a succubus whore (Alter self at-will, dsguise self, good charisma and various things such as magical utility)
Artificer if you're into toys (Magic items and such)
Cleric if you want divine appointment by the god of sex (Divine domain: Sex)
Sorcerer if your partner is a dragon (charisma and expertise for dragons)
Ranger if you want an ape friend for a gangbang. (Animal companion)

There is no best. D&D is designed so everybody is good at something.
The game was designed with porn in mind.

Only Chromatic orb meets the criteria of being a low level spell and even then it's kinda the ''mimic this damage type'' spell.

I wish they made a fucking expanded spell list already to cover all types similar to EE.

Playing a Warlock, is it better to cross into Fighter or Paladin? Paladin seems the best one since you can cast Smite with the warlock spells and get them back after a short rest, but a lot of people suggest taking fighter and i'm not exactly sure why. Going Bladelock, and yes I know, but I want to be Trunks from DBZ.

Level 1-4 is commoner tier. Level 5-10 is village champion tier. Level 11-16 is national recognition tier. Level 17+ is world wrecker.

At level 11+ you may have a large impact on national politics or a country's situation but international treaties and military force and the kingdom's budget on mercenaries can stop you from being the new king by force.

Dear God let sorcerer UA be good.

>>51425658
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No.

>>51425613
If you're doing the 2 level dip to start, you want Fighter. Better saves, Action Surge. Getting the 2 extra smites per short rest might seem good, but after that you're still reduced back down to "well eldritch blast would just be a better use of my action"

Where as having the ability to open up a can of whoopass by action surging out both of your slotted spells in a single turn will remain more useful at higher levels.

>>51425651

>>51424374

1d4+11 twice for attack, third time with retaliation, with advantage for reckless attacks. Fourth if you frenzy. So 40.5-54, advantage on demand.

Monk does 1d10+5 twice for an action and twice more with flurry. 42 with advantage less on demand from empty body or stunning.

How much more do you need when you also get more hp and can use a shield

>>51425679
I guess I just don't see the usefulness of action surge? Wouldn't you get the same out of just attacking twice and using smite on both of those attacks? You're right about the better saves.

>>51425700
Adding in frenzy is fairly disingenuous, its a terrible ability of a terrible archetype.
I do agree though, let monks be punchy, we don't need more. Taver Brawler exists for a middle ground, extra option, not a build around.

>>51425739
Yes, and the katana is pretty bad against it.

Which is true for most swords, to some degree, especially curved ones.

>But, honestly, 5e is supposed to make sense and it makes sense that strong people are better off fighting with WEAPONS than punching everything.

Clearly this is why flyweight boxers punch harder than Mike Tyson did.
Fucking what.

>>51425613
>>51425679
Paladin is good if you ditch warlock at level 3/4/5 because you're basically becoming a paladin with shillelagh.

Fighter is good if you want to become a sorlock because you get defences and action surge for even more blasting.

Full warlock.. Is not awfully good, but if you really must then you'll want a single level of fighter for the main purpose of giving you a load of AC. You can also then go two levels into fighter if you want, becaue action surge is pretty nice.

>>51425822
STR monks still exist.
It's just that they have shit AC and can't survive because of it.

>>51425822
The flyweights are aiming for weakpoints with their uncanny wisdom and dexterity. They don't punch the hardest, but they can stun and outwit opponents and attack with speed.

Once it comes to strength, you're better off just using a fucking weapon, the real reason those boxers box instead of swinging fucking axes at each other is because they're not trying to kill each other.
And with that axe, you do more damage than the monk.

>>51425766
This would be true if you were a full paladin who has plenty of spell slots to smite with.
But you don't, smites are a limited resource and action surge is an additional resource that's extremely flexible given the many number of things you can do with an action. And it's per short rest.

I guess it is a fight between 'two level 1 spell slots every long rest and smite' versus an extra action every short rest, but two level 1 smites a long rest is much, much worse than an entire extra action which you can use after using hex on, say, eldritch blast for 2d20+2d6+10 extra damage at level 5 to 10 with 20 charisma, and only more damage at level 11 and 17 onwards.

>>51425766
>Fighter 2/Fiendlock 5
>Fireball twice in one turn

>>51425867
So what you are saying is that flyweights have the ability to outright kill someone by "hitting weakpoints"?

Yet the guy who can literally break someones face in a single swing does half the damage?

Firstly, never bring realism into D&D. Secondly, even with having "realism" in mind, that is still beyond retarded.

>>51425903
This is DnD.
Monks are individuals who strenghtened theri bodies with magical rituals to turn them into weapons.
They are word for word ''muscle-wizards''.

>>51425903
Calm your autism anon, and follow your own advice.

Monks have magic fists.

>>51425903
You can knock somebody unconscious just by hitting them on the right place on the neck, or something like that.

You're the one bringing in realism, though, saying that the strength punching guy should do more damage than someone with no strength but hitting careful points.
Once we're not bringing in realism anymore, what's the fucking point of arguing?

A fairy walks up to a guy. She blows in his face. Guy explodes.
Why? I don't know, magic or something, why do we care about realism?

Without realism, there is no argument, there is only what exists in people's imaginations. And sure, some people believe in their imagination that punching things really hard is a good way to do things, but more people believe that hitting things with an axe using that strength rather than using your fists is better. So, by way of majority, weapons were made stronger than punches.

>>51425867
But wouldn't the smites be a short rest if you use your Warlock spell slots to cast them?

>>51425947
If you're going to do that, burning all your spell slots like that, why not just be a paladin instead?

>>51425903

DM's of /5eg/, who is your main bad guy? What is his motivation? How much do your players want him fucking dead?

Mine is a fallen Paladin named Calden Redwood. He is harvesting souls and feeding them to an otherworldly demigod who promises to bring back his long dead wife and child.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQMCAdMadMY

>>51425942
Not that guy, but you rarely use strength when using weapons.
If anything, they're more dexterity-minded than actual punching since you've already got a sharpened mass moving at high velocity.

In comparison, you'll always need to exert a fairly serious amount of energy to achieve any reasonable destructive power with fists, which something like a barbarian that can lift 800lbs would be more than capable of doing.

I don't care about "lulmagicfists", monk can be whatever they want to be, mostly disappointing though.
I am in the camp with the previous anon thinking it's strange that monk is the ONLY fist fighter. PF has the brawler atleast.

>>51425960
Because then it'd be a long rest to get them back again?

>>51425965
Well, not to be that guy, but attempt that on someone with equal training and you'll not be having much fun.

Weight classes exist for a reason, and that's why you'll never see Conor McGregor against Brock Lesnar or something like that.

>>51425667
If it isn't I'm creating expanded spell lists for each origin and just flat out making spells for them to use for their types then.

>>51425987
Yeah I love Sorcerer's so much. My first character was one and they sucked ass back then as well.

Shadow Sorcerer's decent because of it's abilities but I'd like something a bit less edgy.

Assuming the BBEG is some sort of possessed human, what sort of stats should I give him?

I want him to be able to fight the party when they're at early levels and easily wipe them out, but then run away (for plot reasons), so they get an impression of massive strength, but I want them to be able to work up towards killing him.

What's the best way to stat long-term bosses?

>>51425044
Goblin or aasimar race for an extra 20 damage to one of those.

>>51425867
Heavy weight boxers also don't evolve into hercules or enkidu by knocking out enough goblins.

>>51425972
Well, why is strength even a stat in the first place? Why don't we just bundle it in with constitution for bodily strength?

At least in fantasyland, most people will agree in their imaginations that the guys using GWF and the barbarians and the general 'I'M GOING TO HIT SHIT REALLY HARD' people with mauls and greatswords are going to focus mostly on strength.

And when I see typical unarmed martial artists, I would always say they're more towards wisdom and dexterity than strength. They overcome opponents by outsmarting, outmanoeuvring them, using their own momentum against them, striking at vulnerable points, et cetera.

Boxing sort of stuff sounds more 'nitty gritty reality' than 'fantasyland', and in the first place if we brought those guys into the game they might be more constitution focused or something.

>>51425975
Yes, but the paladin also gets many better features for when they don't have spell slots. The warlock is more of a spellcaster, and once you take away those spells.. You can still do things, you can eldritch blast, but you're not really anything anymore except a shittier paladin that has invocations and will eventually get level 6/7/8/9 spells.

You people have some weird ideas about martials. You don't evolve into mike tyson by 15, you start as him. You become peak human potential by 4 and past then you become a hero, doing things of myth.

>>51426008
You're trying to script things out way too far in advance. And even if the players stay on your railroad tracks, your railroad tracks make no sense (a villain causing a party wipe but making sure every single PC survives.)

>>51426036
This is where D&D falls a bit flat on it's face, because it's pulling the "hurrdurr2intelligencebarbarian" hit shit hard from western fantasy, and the "punchshittodeath" from eastern fantasy.

Issue with this is that it's usually the other way around, that if you've got enough strength to swing a large sword, it's better to be dextrous in order to get the most out of swordfighting.

Along with weight classes being around since a 120lbs man would just get slaughtered by someone twice his size, assuming equal training.

Now, disregard any and all realism from that, and you're still stuck with the western vs eastern fantasy. There's nothing that says a barbarian shouldn't be able to uppercut someones head off other than people being hung up on the 40lbs monk elf should be the only one able to do it due to mystical eastern arts.

>>51426089
That's because going unarmed for no reason is part of kung-fu movies but not Western fantasy. A barbarian going unarmed by choice is just stupid because that's not a convention of the genre he's in.

>>51426089
Technique is 80% of weapon use, dex is pretty much for reaction/defence, str is for grapples and weapon control.

>>51426089
But a barbarian CAN uppercut someone's face off with +strength +rage damage and your DM might even give you a conditional bonus if you do it at the right time, though don't expect it to be constant ever.

The downside is that they're usually, almost always better off using their finely crafted and carefully designed, enchanted and empowered weapon of destruction instead of just using their fists.

And barbarians follow three main styles anyway:
1. Maul (Strength), GWM, 'nuff said.
2. Halberd (Strength), good if you've got plenty of feats for PAM and maybe GWM on top of that
3. Shortsword (Dexterity), the best option at lower levels without feats, good for dex barbarian and multiclassed barbarian and entirely viable

So it's somewhat true with shortswords.

But we have to either say we want realism or we don't want realism, and 5e is going more towards realism, honestly, and at that point I think it's probably more realistic to fight with weapons unless you're pressured to improvize some sort of action where your weapon is cast astray or too clunky to hit where you need to hit. But at least it's still fanatasy enough that barbarians are still super muscle dudes who get around by swinging a maul really hard, though there are dex barbarians.

Also if your DM allows sneak attack on unarmed strikes, you can do a punchy strength wrestling barbarogue already.

Thinking of going Undying Light Warlock 6/Fighter 14

Get that revive going, cantrips, and smacking power. How terrible is this idea? And what could I do to make it better. I just want to play an anime sword wizard. Warlock seems the best fit for the spontaneous casting, and the revive is always nice.

>>51425969
There's no one main bad guy. There are organizations and traditions and political machinations on both sides of an uneasy ceasefire, puppets controlled by men with titles into fighting skirmishes they both claim plausible deniability toward because those who could question them are on their payroll.

If you wanted to end The Big Conflict you'd need to depose not one, but two governments in their entirety, whom have both fed their peasants and noblemen alike a constant feed of propaganda in a pre-information age society where conflicting ideas just do not get very far. You'd have to do this while also not sparking a war between them the moment one realizes you've given them an upper hand by making unrest in the other.

>>51426146
I mean, the less you abstract, the harder the game is to run.
Reach is the most important factor after technique, so con for height/reach.
Every attack is from a list of tech based on int, the opponent defends depending on positioning and their own technique...
And it isn't d&d

>>51426134
>and 5e is going more towards realism
>still argues that monks should be the only fist-murderer because mystical magic

I mean.. if you're going to lobby something, atleast choose something that doesn't contradict what you've been saying thus far?

>Also if your DM allows sneak attack on unarmed strikes, you can do a punchy strength wrestling barbarogue already.
No DM with half a brain would allow that, because that just means that you'd see a retarded Shadowmonk/assassination rogue build.

Since you are however lobbying for more realism, a barbarian should be more adept at actually punching people to death than a monk.

>>51426106
>what is Heracles

>>51426127
Technique falls entirely under dex in D&D. Otherwise fighters and barbarians could never wield weapons since most of them are at +1 or maybe +2 dex mod.

>>51426106
>beowulf
I agree with you but there still exist exceptions which say that the unarmed barbarian should still be more than able to kill shit. Perhaps not as well as armed, especially if he trained all his life for armed combat, but he should still be plenty functional rather than 1+X Str

>>51426161
It's an okay idea, you get heavy armor+One of the best cantrips in the game+ritual utiltity/ultimate familiar utility
The only major issue I can see if the overlapping of eldritch blast with fighter, because 3 melee attacks is nice but 4 blasts are better.
You might want to do 14 paladin for slightly better stacking together because both use charisma and you'll get auras of protection and shit.
If you go EK fighter then you can do the wonderful thing of giving people disadvantage on saves so then you can use save or sucks to fuck the person over super good.

>>51426193
>>what is Heracles
Lets be real here
Hercules is the level 20+ pugilist/barbarian
He ain't the standard for level 1-10

>>51426161
So, what, pact of the tome, PAM, quarterstaff, go fighter to beat shit up with charisma/force of will?

It's servicable, though I'd only get more than 3 warlock levels after you've gotten 11 levels in fighter for war magic from EK.

I don't think the revive ability is worth 3 levels until you've nothing much better to do (you already have extra attack 2). Which means you only get it at a late level.

Or you capitalize on having good GFB attacks, avoid PAM but still get shillelagh, aim for 7 levels of fighter for war magic then take 6 levels of warlock. Actually, that sounds much better.

Fighter7/Warlock3 for the base build and then doing whatever the heck after that.

What would the IRL equivalent of a character with 20 Strength be? 20 Agility? and so on

>>51426193
Shadowmonk/assassin is already possible because monk makes at least two weapon attacks that are just as strong as their punch attacks before their bonus attack.

You're basically saying
>if your DM really hates fun, you can't play the character you want, so let's fucking homebrew something because that will definitely work


Also
>and outlands hunter who hunts to survive, pushes their body and trains it to the limit their entire life and also being good at getting really angry should be better at punching than someone who studies unarmed combat with other people their entire life from birth

Either they're both on equal grounds, or the more learned one should be better. Barbarians are not trained in unarmed combat to the same extents monks are, it's more of a hobby-tier thing for them I'd say.

>>51424139
>>Implying that game doesn't need to change for level 10+ characters when they could literally bring down entire nations on their own based on the typical strength of mortal NPCs (spoiler, most of them are weaker than level 1 players).
lemme tell you about action economy and what happens when your dumb level 10 ass charges a peasant mob that just throws rocks every round

>>51426264
>>51426193
Adding to that...
Well, okay, you're probably not saying to homebrew stuff but that the system in the first place should have had more bloat that made people question whether they should use weapons when everybody can just punch everything to death.

More importantly, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't allow a barbarian to sneak attack with their fists, because it doesn't break anything, it merely encourages more dynamic combat with grappling and shoving and barbarogue shenanigans. If you don't want that, don't allow multiclassing at all. Heck, don't even allow feats or martial classes.

>>51426230
I'd say you're gonna need more than 1 example to convince me.
You got hercules and Beowulf but I can't think of any other western heroes or mythological characters who fought notably just by punching, even if they could

>>51426274
Yeah, even if there are a lot of people the players could kill with guerilla warfare there's one born every minute, huh.

Inevitably there's going to be higher level people in the nation (Champions, wizards, etc) that can easily stop a party of level 10+ players even if they do resort to cowardly tactics.

>>51426293
Druid UA is a thing.

>>51426285
>barbarian to sneak attack with their fists, because it doesn't break anything
It does break shit, because that would mean that it would also allow monks to sneak attack with fists, which is a terrible fucking idea.

Not the guy you're quoting but there's a fucking reason why they've specifically stated that monk fists are not eligible to be used for sneak attacks.

>>51426228
Open a newspaper and tell us if you think a low INT is a barrier to anything now.

>>51426305
The only thing "busted" about Monk Sneaks is that they can attempt to land a hit twice with their Attack, and once or twice again with their bonus or Flurry-bonus.

So disallow Sneak Attacks made through bonus actions or Flurry of Blows and you're fine.

Celebrities are famous, but the less intelligent ones all get fucked over in some way.

A poor person winning the lottery can often go bankrupt due to how inherently bad with money they were in the first place.

Some celebrities go bankrupt after their initial fame, too.

Why do you think a monk couldn't just attack with shortswords if they wanted sneak attack?
Why do you insist that punching is somehow gamebreakingly more powerful than the monk just hitting something with a weapon, which they can and will do?
The only difference is the monk would have a third chance of getting a sneak attack with their bonus action, when they've already had two chances. Or, maybe, at high levels monks might be able to do 1d10 damage and sneak attack! Except they'll have taken so many monk levels their sneak attack will be piddly.

It's entirely invalidating rogues since you'll have a full damage martial that can also sneak attack.

Along with a 2 or 3 level dip in Bard and you'll also get the double proficiency that rogues get, so that makes an entire class useless.

I mean, there's a few in here.

Not that far in advance.
>campaign begins with party all kidnapped by a cult along with some other peasants
>cult performs some sacrifices and a ritual to summon an ancient demon to bolster their own power
>demon possesses one of the peasants and everything goes wrong, wipes out most of the cultists
>party only have to fight 1-2 cultists max but strong potential they'll take on the demon on the way out
>demon possession should be ridiculously strong but not especially interested in fighting them, more interested in getting away
>plot hook suggests they might try to track it down in order to prevent it killing everything

Just need some stats to make that work. They don't have to follow the demon, I just want it to make good sense if they do. I'll have other potential plots and the like available too, I just enjoy planning things out so all of my improv is backed up by resources.

I'm not scrolling up to read the start of this argument to see if someone is discussing UA where Monks just get Sneak Attack progression for free,

but literally how is your complaint different from any other "full damage martial" that goes with a Dex build and takes Rogue levels? How is a Monk/Rogue more busted than a Fighter/Rogue if you disallow bonus attack sneaks?

You are giving up ki and martial arts progression every time you take a Rogue level to get maybe some more damage every round if conditions are right.

Unless it's a bugbear monk.

I've seen this posted here multiple times, is this a trope or are you just the same person

>>51426386
Where did they say that?
They might well be wrong, the only evidence you're giving is 'WOTC said so', and WOTC is full of shit like
>Feats are optional
and
>Wish lets you cast spells without their cost components

They did specifically state however that they didn't allow 'sneak attack on any dex-based attack' instead of 'finesse weapons' because they were afraid of future synergies from UAs and such (or if people found out things like PAM + Monk1 + Rogue). And I can understand that somewhat, but I don't see where they said and a sufficient reason why they aren't allowing unarmed strikes to sneak attack, ESPECIALLY ones that only deal 1 damage base.

>>51426400
Sure, that's restrictive as shit anyway to the point where you'll almost never see it come into play.

>>51426391
Where the fuck have I stated anything about being busted?
WotC specifically stated that monk fists cannot qualify for sneak attack. The only thing I pointed out that was "busted" is the fact that you're outright ignoring a ruling.

I mean shit, while you're at it, why not allow double int modifier to spells for wizards since you're keen on ignoring the limitations of 5e.

I've already shown I'm willing to admit I'm wrong if you can show me where they've actually made a good point other than, say, someone other than the rulesmaster saying
>lol I guess it'd be broken if monks could sneak attack with their fists, not that I've put any thought into it at all

We've proven the creators wrong time and time again. They're not perfect, and they fuck up literally all the time. I mean, even the team leader or whoever you call him has actually gotten rules wrong before such as thinking you roll multiple dice for magic missile.
