/5eg/ Fifth Edition General:

What are the rules in DnD regarding spells that pertain to trapping bigger objects into smaller space?

For example, let's say a wizard wants to trap an entire building and all its inhabitants in a cube. This cube can be transported around and even opened by anyone that knows a specific spoken password. If the cube gets opened then the building and all its inhabitants appear in a space that can be specified by the person that opened the cube, provided they can actually see it.

I am asking because I have an idea for a session in which the party stumbles upon a place that is marked as a village on their map. After some investigating they find out that a powerful wizard in a desperate attempt to save the village and all its inhabitants from the wrath of a demonic force trapped the village in spheres or cubes. The wizard was destroyed and the spheres were scattered in the surrounding region. Some of them still lie in the wilderness, untouched. Some of them were picked up by goblins that live in the surrounding mountain range, others collected by travelers as a strange curiosity and an adventuring trinket and then there are a few that found their way into the dens and caves of wild animals, maybe even horrible beasts or mystical creatures.

The adventurers will be able to collect spheres all around the region and eventually be able to piece together the village with all its inhabitants and buildings. Do you think that would be an interesting thing to do as a player?

They are pretty shit to be honest.

Do we really need 2? Can we not just stick with 1 for now?

>>52603861
Did they take down the first one on purpose or did it just go down?
Also, because I'm paranoid and a little stupid, is it possible to store this thing on a flash drive or other offline source or does it rely on an internet connection to work?

What is the favored race of edgelords? I'm guessing Tiefling for guys and Drow for girls.

>>52603889
ur mom for whores

They are easier to blind. Also the dragon is already extinct or already ascend the mortal realm, you are just killing creature that mimics the form of dragon. Some are just better at it than other.

>>52603889

Tiefling and Drow are equal-opportunity edgelords

So, what are your thoughts on the UA Artificer? I'm currently playing the Alchemist as a War-Medic(an actual Doctor) and I actually feel more useful and meaningful than playing a cleric.

>>52603901
Nah, I'm pretty sure most male Drow are betas that want to wank about how hard it is being the only good aligned Drow. Female Drow are generally evil femdom spider queen assassins.

>>52603888
The guy who ran the trove, 5etools and 5etools roll20 script got in legal trouble from Roll20 for hosting their assets. He wasn't fully anon, or he could have just ignored him of course.

So now the trove is run by some other anon I guess, 5etools (which is technically fine, doesn't use any roll20 stuff) has 2 mirrors and the script doesn't work.

>>52603889

Does the monk's unarmed strike count as a "weapon attack?" I know it counts as a monk weapon attack, but for other creature's defenses like "You may use your reaction when you are hit by a melee weapon attack to..." would an unarmed strike trigger that?

>>52604145
They aren't "melee weapons", but you can make "melee weapon attacks" with them.

It's dumb I know.

>>52603400
Yeah, the mount from Find Steed is not independent. It doesn't even roll its own initiative like a familiar does.

If Minute Meteors targets only the caster, then having fun blowing yourself up. I know there's been long arguments about it, but the intention is that spells target the creatures they affect.

If a lizardfolk druid uses primeval savagery for a bite attack would they still heal?

>>52604111
Alright, let me rephrase that. I want a leader type Barbarian archetype that I can play seriously, and that can use that Dragonborn +1 CHA. The closest I've been able to find is a rather good Luchadore Barbarian Archetype, but I can't play that one seriously.

So, if you guys had to play one class from level 1 to level 15, without multiclassing, what class and archetype of said class you would be?

>>52604604
Champion.

>>52604591
There are other troll uses for it too. Chill their clothes. Make theirfood taste like literal shit.

If they ever start a fire put it out.

Playing around with homebrewing a class. I want something based around the Master of Mounts prestige class I've seen float around.
Basically a character entirely dedicated to fighting with a companion that they earn the trust of.
However, how high is to high? They'd get to choose their initial mounts based on CR. I was thinking going above the Druids elemental, since it'd be separate from the character and wouldn't necessarily be damage soak for them.

>>52604604

Battlemaster fighter, never gets old when it comes to wreck shit without multiclassing; add a crapton of feats and start with a human variant. Bonus points for getting a magical crossbow, crossbow expert feat and sharpshooter feat; wreck fools from afar or close and personal.

>>52604503
They were cannibals.

>>52604657
How does it compare to the stealth Large Crossbow Sniper Assassin Rogue?

>>52604679
Not him, but, action surge?

>>52603972
> looking for a body
> instead of creating one via simulacrum

>>52603972
In theory, if you can Magic Jar, possess someone, move away with your jar > 100 feet from your body and cast magic jar again, your old body and the person inside your jar dies, and your new body becomes your "old body"

>>52604679

Action surge. Even though the assassin does slightly more damage with the crit sneak, the fighter gets more consistent damage, multiple attacks (4 attacks per turn instead of one super attack with assassination). Also you get ability score increases faster and more feats with the fighter. The battle master maneuvers give it more flexibility as well.

Do weapon create from minor conjuration count as "magical weapon" for bypassing resistance?

>>52604762
Wouldn't this get wonky if a wizard player decides to be a dick and goes full Captain Ginyu with possessing somebody like a barbarian to gain his HP?

You maintain Class features, and are unable to use your host bodies class features.

How would a god of insanity speak to mortals?

Or just any god for that manner with chaotic inclinations...Anyone done that before?

>>52604870
Well. Generally they'd speak to you in a way that you understand, but sounds... off? Tzeentch from 40k is a good example, he has several heads that all say the same words, in a slightly different intonation or voice, so as to change the meaning. Not sure how you'd pull it off but it's pretty rewarding for the DM if you do.

Why are Balors and Pit fiends such high CR in 5e? I get that they're *supposed* to be that tough, but they just aren't. Maybe the Pit Fiend could be effective if they fly and lob a few fireballs, but they otherwise just aren't very threatening. The Balor is even worse. What's the deal here?

our DM just let us roll stats for the next campaign. 6 d6 in order, you get one mulligan but have to take the next rolls regardless of whether they are better or worse.

I just rolled 15, 15, 14, 14, 13, 14

Should I reroll? Not a single 17 or 18.

Are there any ways to use a horse and carriage for mischief in 5e?

I ask because one of my players, notorious for playing around with rules and such, not to be that guy, but just for fun, has asked if he can start the game with two horses and a carriage for travelling in. I want to let him have it because he's playing a merc and it makes sense to have some form of travel, but I wanted to make double sure he isn't gonna turn it into some kind of improvised horsebomb or a rocketship that converts farts into gold or something ridiculous.

Can I be a water bender with Control Water? I want to make whips of water that grab people's hands and prevent them from attacking or casting somatic spells.

>>52605069

No, use them. The game's point buy system doesn't let you get higher than 15, so that you got a lot of good, if not stellar, stats is really good. You won't get a 20 in your best stat any sooner, but you won't have to boost your secondary stats and can start taking feats earlier.

>>52605075
Better dip a level into psion and take that elemental water thingy.

Guys, my DM just let me roll a new character, 6 3d6 in order.

>>52605277

Numbers are more dangerous than single monsters, which is why the DMG has you apply a multiplier for more monsters. But a single monster at ANY XP level is weaker than it seems. 5e lets players make full attacks much more easily than 3e/PRG did, so their damage output tends to be very high, and disabling abilities can completely neuter even a powerful enemy if they blow one save.

Generally, if you're planning a boss fight, always have minions. Always.

>>52605419
That's a neat idea and it ties in with something I was just wondering. If you can cast Command as a higher level spell than 1, and it affects one additional target per level, how many people can the Kraken Priest target with it?
At the same time this would of course clarify to me casting spells in higher slots with NPCs and monsters.

>>52605452
Well, yes. It's still got a windpipe, so if you can constrict it it can stop it from moving. It'd be really fucking difficult to do because lycanthropes have got necks like a tree trunk's dick on steroids, but it's possible.

I understand the confusion here.

Yes, the cliffs off to the east are obviously drawn in such a way that you'd think the part with the light border is the "top" and the solid outline with shadow is the bottom.

However, the artist also drew the cliffs bordering the obvious mountain in the reverse way. The part with the solid outline is on the inside (up the mountain), while the unbordered section is on the outside (down the mountain).

And we know from other drawings and descriptions that yes, Waterdeep is elevated. So you're right, the player is wrong, but it's 100% understandable that the player would think there's a valley because holy shit that artist really fucked up the cliffs.

Don't try to play characters from something. Maybe have a couple traits that they have that make them similar, but don't just make them

Both got nerfed hard in 5th. Seen new player pick them up and want a change race in a few games

>>52605946
>tiefling
>nerfed hard

How so?

>>52605946
Maybe with a drow I can see it but purely from a power perspective tieflings are easily one of the strongest races in the PHB

>>52605939
In a battle with many combatants, it seems silly that the barbarian rages and then spends 1 minute without doing shit.

>>52605961
4e Tiefling is pretty OP. I don't know much about 5e Tiefling but if it isn't the best caster race by far then it counts as a nerf.

>>52606019
Still, if a someone feels tieflings are too weak they have little else to choose from that's stronger

So the reach property specifically states: "This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you attack with it."

Does that mean that enemies still only provoke opportunity attacks if they a space adjacent to you, and not within 10 feet?

>>52606019
>>52606045

They're technically not a *great* race because Int is so damn weak this edition. Plus, even if you are one of the classes that use Int (EK, AT, Wiz), you don't use Cha. But resistance to fire and a few cantrips aren't terrible.

So - is STR a always dumb stat in 5th ED? You can use dex bonus to hit and damage equal to any one handed weapon vs using STR. Range weapons are all Dex based. Two handed weapon damage is so-so seeing you giving up a shield to use them. Getting a high AC is hard without one.
Heavy Armor outside of full plate is a joke vs all medium armor types. You still bad a stealth with full plate.
A lot of Dex skills and spell saves - very few STR ones. Am I reading this the wrong way?

>>52606094

No, if it's the reach property of a weapon, you only get opportunity attacks when they exit your 10' reach entirely.

If you're referring to Polearm Master, it's when they enter that 10' reach, not if they move from 10' to 5' of you.

>>52605961
A lot of better caster races out there. The fire rest. is OK but there are spells for that and the race is best as casters so.....

>>52606130
If you really want to be optimal there are very few places where strength is better than dex.
remove dex to damage on ranged/finesse attacks reeee

>>52605761
Well yeah, that's what I tried to draw, but it's hard enough drawing hands with a mouse, and perspective is hard too. Let me try again.

>>52606130
>is STR always a dumb stat?

No. You can use polearms and heavy weapons only using STR, and they work the best with feats and certain character interactions (e.g. half-orcs). In addition, Athletics is used for combat maneuvers like Shove, which can be very important. It's also a Barbarian's only option if they intend to use Rage Damage, which, yes, is a forced way to do it, but there it is.

>Heavy armor outside of full plate is a joke vs all medium armor types. You still bad a stealth with full plate.

Is it? Breastplate +2 dex is equal to the Chain Mail anyone can have at level 1. Half plate is better, sure, but it has that same disadvantage on Stealth you're talking about, and if you can get Half Plate, the heavy-armor user can get Split, which beats Half-Plate.

>Range weapons are all Dex based
Well, except the 'melee' weapons with the throwing property. Also Darts, which have Finesse.

I play a Wizard and my spells like Suggestion, Polymorph, Wall of Force, Blindness and Counterspell are really doing a lot of work but no one seems to pay attention because I don't really do much damage.

The DM keeps saying our party has gotten very strong and he always looks at the warlock who is just spamming Eldritch Blast or the rogue who does one decent sneak attack every round.
Honestly the biggest damage dealer in the party is the Cleric using Spirit Guardians and positioning himself correctly, but the DM hasn't noticed that either.

>>52606416

How do you make your villains?

>>52606451
or maybe you just failed your passive wisdom check. They are all hiding inside her pussy

>>52606493
That would probably be an active wisdom check as I believe 300+ pound neck beards would have a hard time fitting unless his mom is as loose as a goose

new to DnD. If a saving throw or any action really has a DC does the player have to match the DC or go above or does he always need to go above to succeed?

For example, someone wants to smash open a door with his body and rolls on Athleticism on a DC of 15. Does he succeed if he rolls 15 or above? Or does he only succeed if he rolls 16 or above?

>>52606445
When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

>>52606445
that's a comfortable doggo

>>52606445

You are just autistic. The GM knows what is going on because he is runing the game, and wants to patronize the weaker warlock and rogue, because if you are at the level your spells suggest you are, you have hit a runaway point and you and the cleric are going to be doing ridicuous shit.

The DM needs to go "Oh, you are SO strong and important" to the weak classes, because if your group is playing to win DnD with damage instead of focusing on characterization, then the players running those classes will just lose interest or reroll their characters.

>>52606445

tie goes to defender

>>52606554
how does it work with passive wisdom?

If an enemy rolls a stealth check of 14 and a character has a passive wisdom of 14, who succeeds? The enemy or the player?

>>52606554
>>52606576
I'm getting mixed signals here

>>52606578
>if it meets it beats it

I suppose it would depend on who is taking the action/whose turn it is.

If that doesn't work for you default to the PC.

>>52606589
Whenever someone rolls against a static number, ties go to the roller.

>>52605126
>he doesn't roll d20s
>he will never crit and get 40 CON

>>52606589
A DC is set.

The player is the defender in this case so if you roll a 15 on a DC 15 check then you pass it.

>>52606655
and what if there are two people rolling and they match each other's number?

Like if a player wants to search for someone hiding in the woods and the creature in the woods rolled a stealth check that matches the perception check of the player?

>>52606589
This is all covered in Chapter 7 of the PHB.

>>52605987
Obviously it's a bit impractical to implement. But all of the players and creatures take their turns simultaneously in a 6 second window. In combat one full circle around the table is 6 seconds. When a Barbarian rages, he benefits from it for those whole 6 seconds, on everyones turn. How does that seem silly?

>>52605764

So outside the Matt Mercer stuff, what is worth a look at on the DMs guild

If two people are arm wrestling in a tavern, would you let them roll a contest on athleticism or just a simple strength check with their ability modifier?

>>52605761
1) Hands cupped and fingers laced are mutually exclusive

2) What he described actually does look like that if you try it yourself and don't go off a 2d picturoglyph

tldr; dude claiming you're right was right before you posted.

>>52606688
When contesting rolls tie they effectively cancel each other out and situation doesn't change, so the seeker would not find the hider.

>>52606511
What you described sounds like no check at all

>>52606852
the player handbook doesn't seem to be quiet clear on the passive wisdom distinction. If I have a passive wisdom of 14 and someone sneaks with a stealth check of 14 then does the game treat it as if the player rolled? Or does it treat it as the difficulty class someone else has to overcome?

What if no roll takes place? Let's say that there is a crack in a wall that seems strange and the DC of noticing that strange crack is 14. Does a character with passive wisdom of 14 immediately notice the crack and do I tell them about it? How does this work if the DM has to compare static scores?

>>52606894

Passive Perception is just a rules patch on previous editions. Essentially, it's about the players not rolling Perception. If the DM asks the players to roll Perception, they'll think there's something sneaking around, even if they failed the check. Even good roleplayers have trouble with it.

So it just assumes you roll a 10 if you're not actively looking around for something.

>>52606816
Depends. If it's something like 9 vs 18 str, no check at all. If it's a 16 str fighter vs 18 str barbarian athletics since irl arm wrestling isn't based purely on strength

>>52605758
This is actually what I'm going to do

>>52607116
talking about training, is the same player allowed to train multiple things at the same time? Like if you want to learn how to use a lockpick but also how to use a navigator's tool?

>>52604168
>If Minute Meteors targets only the caster
The spell itself clearly targets only the caster as it has a range of self and unlike cone of cold doesn't even have an AoE.
However, the effect of the spell has a range of 120ft.

It's like casting an aura on yourself - the effect affects around you, but you cast it on yourself.

Also, if you're not mounted on the find steed ount, then there's nothing that actually says it wouldn't be able to act independently. That'd be like saying 'If you walk away from your horse and ask it to approach, it won't be able to do it.'

http://www.sageadvice.eu/2015/09/16/find-steed-steed-can-attack-on-your-turn/

The steed has normal action options when you're not riding it.

Get on the mount. Cast melf's minute meteors. Get off the mount. Watch mount launch meteors.

>>52607116
Seriously, that's bullshit. When my players want to train something, I have them make a note of the language or proficiency and write 480 next to it. Then, for each hour they spend studying that language/proficiency they remove 1 from that number. When they hit 240 hours left, they gain the ability to decipher languages or use the tool with a successful INT check. Failure indicates that they can't put together the information they need. Also, tutoring just makes the hour reduction double, and anyone proficient in a skill or language can tutor you.

>>52607116
Know what's even funnier? You can cast a spell that let's you understand another language in ONE SECOND.

>>52607041
Pretty sure the PHB states exactly that arm wrestling is a no check contest. Like that is the exact scenario they use for no check contests

>>52606894
Pretty sure a passive check still counts as a roll and I haven't seen anything official that says that they count as DCs, that way you're never comparing two DCs against each other which I'm sure the rules don't intend.
So the guy using stealth would not be seen because it's a tied contest and the situation of him not being seen wouldn't change, while the character would notice the window because his (passive) check total matched the DC.

>>52603814
I'm in a situation in my groups' campaign where I'm basically guaranteed to meet my "victory condition". However, this will mean the other players effectively lose. As a player, I don't want to piss everyone else off by eliminating their PCs but they made no efforts to hinder my PC and they have no clear goals of their own.

Basically, is it okay if my LE character "wins" our campaign and the good aligned characters "lose" due to apathy and incompetence.

For emphasis, I am not DM, just a player, and have made my intentions clear from day 1.

>>52607575
There are no negatives in 5e.

>>52607575
Nope, you just go into death saves.

Has anyone thought "bless" is not a good spell? I've taken some notes when playing and every time I someone casts bless, it looks like it does a lot because it turns a few non-hits into hits. However, because the way all the damage falls, killing the enemies faster with bless usually doesn't save more HP than using cure wounds between combats. Casting bless rarely prevents enemy attacks and it's usually better not to cast it, and use cure wounds after combat instead.

Help. I am GMing. Like right now (we are on a break because I "needed to go to the bathroom"). The party of 3 lvl 10 and 2 lvl 11 are fighting and Adult red dragon. This is totally too much for them. I mean they can win but it is going to be difficult and there is a high chance someone dies. The worst thing is that most probably the guy whose birthday is today is the one that dies and he is already pretty frustrated. What do?

>>52607598
Negative hit points.

>>52607575
If you get dropped to 0 HP or below, you revert and take the leftover damage. This is true even if you have made it "permanent" (which was errataed to "until dispelled").

>>52607621
There are no negative hit points in 5e. You go to 0 and start making death saves.

>>52607620
Make a perception check, if they succeed, find an item that summons skeletons/constructs/any kind of backup you see fit to help the fight inside the dragons horde.

Why a dragon will have something in his horde that can kill it?

>>52607675
Dragons have swords and shit all the time. If you want to make it seem like a secret, have it unearthed after a fire blast, or inside a bag of holding that was otherwise locked.

>>52607647
They wouldnt do that at all. They are the kind of heroes that are willing to die for their quest.
I may kill one of them and have a deity make them fire immune

>>52607693
What's their quest?

>>52607620
Red dragon has a pen of slaves. The sneaky one in the group can free them and have them help fight. At least one could be a cleric/sorcerer/monk that's useful out the gate.

>>52607702
Kill that dragon and rescuing an important member of the royal family that is hostage (the princess)

>>52607736

>You aren't defeated if you're not dead, you can go back for another try

>>52607615
Thanks to the way bounded accuracy works, the extra1d4 is hugely useful throughout the game. Additionally, it applies to your saving throws and against many monsters, the 1d4 can mean the difference between failing a saving throw and being useless for multiple turns, or passing and being able to lay down the hurt.

What's the skill I need to roll on to give the Innkeeper's daughter a good fingerbanging?

>>52607615
+2.5 avg to saves and to hit is always good, scales with level even if you're casting it off a 1st level slot, unlike CW. Killing enemies faster is always better than casting Cure Wounds.

And particularly early on, how much HP you have doesn't matter that much; if you have enough to reliably survive the next enemy turn that's cool, but if you don't then whatever, Healing Word will prop you up and whether you have max HP or 1 is unimportant, because the Fighter fights the same at any HP - but they fight better with Bless on.

After that, I just have to knock down a few dominoes and I'll be ruler of the land. Its going to be full Machiavelli too. No one survives my coup.

Like I said though, this isn't news to anyone. I've made my intentions clear since the beginning. They just don't take my character seriously because he's low int and kind of a buffoon.

My theory is that spells would be rated based on how much HP you would have after an encounter. I know that bless is a significant increase to hit, but it only changes the amount of HP you have after combat if hitting a creature with bless would cause it to take less turns. If an enemy needs 2 attacks to be killed and there are 4 players attacking before the enemy acts again, then bless isn't likely to change the outcome. The attacks that wouldn't hit without bless need to stop enemies from taking actions, which they are unlikely to do given hp mechanics and turn order.

I get what you're trying to say, but any leftover attacks can easily go on to other enemies, and Bless is also protecting you from being denied actions for failing a save.

It's better to be proactive than reactive. It's better to risk overcommitting resources than taking stock afterwards and apply the minimum indispensable to recover. You're comparing 7.5 fucking HP recovery for one person to a combat-length full party buff that is going to be used every single turn of that encounter.

And most importantly, hitting with attacks and making saves is more fun than failing.

Are you noting how that's unrealistically long to accomplish in game outside of time skips, or how that's an unrealistically short amount of time to learn a language?

>>52608277
Hobs are the shorter ones and therefore the children.

>>52608460
it's a complete bullshit amount of time to learn something considering that most campaigns without dedicated players don't even run 250 days.

>>52607116
Oh wow, it takes a WHOLE YEAR to learn a profession to the same extent as someone already well learned in the subject!
How terrible!

It's almost as if they don't want an elf having 50 years of downtime and coming back knowing literally everything in existence!


It's a conservative number. If the DM wants to drop that, they can.

>>52608495
I'd just create the hyperbolic crafting chamber.

I'm sticking with the D&D Hobgoblin and the goblin hierarchy, just making them more interesting to me.

NEW THREAD OR I FUCK UR MOM

Okay, so while I don't want to keep track of equipment weight, I don't like the idea of characters carrying lots and lots of equipment without consequence.
How good or bad of an idea is to have inventory slots?

>>52608585
We're only on page four fagatron

>>52608610
If we're not on page 1 we might as well be on page 10.

>>52608585
Please do not threaten Celestia.

>>52608596
I've never been a fan of inventory slots because keeping track of weight isn't that hard.

If I was going to though I'd give an amount of slots equal to your Strength for anything of note and smaller stuff is free. Backpack gives you an extra slot or two.

Some items (Armour, Heavy weapons and etc.) take up two slots.

I want to create a character who's whole purpose is to blow himself up in one gigantic blast.

This is probably a legacy of 3.5e onwards, even 3e balors and pit fiends didn't have that high of a CR.

>Waterdeep is home to 2million people
>Luskan is home to 4000

I'm really confused by the population in some of these cities, especially compared to their maps. I'm assuming that there are many people that live outside the city walls, but even the amount of buildings within the walls seems lackluster.

in something completely unrelated, is Silverymoon the Portland of Faerun?

/pol/ pls go

>>52608394
Thank you

A God of insanity speaking through completely unrelated mental imagery that each character understands perfectly for some reason but in subtly different ways.

Where to find people to play D&D with?

I live in Metro Atlanta. I have no friends. Like, none.

But, I want to get into D&D and find a cool group of non autists to hang out with and maybe pick up a new hobby, I just have no clue where to start.

>>52609341
you're in the wrong thread.

>>52608737

>>52608690
I think that's the phoenix sorcerer but it's unearthed arcana.

>>52604762
If you can't return to your original body, you'll still die when the original Magic Jar ends, as with dispel magic. In other words, you'll die if you get dispelled or walk into an antimagic field, but can otherwise carry on as if this is normal.

>>52605452
>Can I kill a werewolf with homebrewed rules?
Sure, I guess. Choking someone to death is probably unarmed attacks though.

>>52606130
Technically, strength has the best one-handed ranged weapon attacks, if you could keep up with the weapon drawing demands.

>>52607187
I didn't say it can't take actions, I said it doesn't roll its own initiative. It is plainly never an independent mount. As to the rest:

>Intentions matter not to filthy munchkins.

>>52607630
>This is true even if you have made it "permanent" (which was errataed to "until dispelled").
Actually, once it's permanent only dispelling will end it. If you die, you just die.

>>52607972
>Killing enemies faster is always better than casting Cure Wounds.
This is true, which is why it's hugely important to consider who is casting bless and what else they could do with that action.

Want to make a Monster Hunter themed character that dishes it out with a Greatsword and is mostly focused in investigation, perception, nature, arcana, and medicine.

Instead of just taking the Monster Hunter UA class I think it might fit my char more if I went 2 lvls into Fighter and the rest into the redone UA Ranger. Playing variant human though so I have no clue what would be a better feat, Alert, Observant, or Great Weapon Master.

>>52611161
Why not just make a Monster Slayer Revised Ranger?

>>52603889
I'd say any half-elf. It's really easy to Mary/Gary-stue the thing. You get more languages and skills with it, Darkvision, But you also have this tortured background despite being attractive.
>Elves think I'm less than them, humans expect too much of me.
It's basically a Fanfic OC.

>>52603834
so you made the plot of Dark Cloud your campaign? I like it.

>>52608481
Devil's Advocate here: I think the rules assume you're not adventuring 100% of the time. You can train while traveling (if the teacher is ap arty member, natch), or during downtime between separate adventures - and due to the lifestyle expenses on page 157, we can assume that the time between adventures is intended to be weeks or months.

Still, I'd lower it to 30 days in any game I'm running, since the party is intended to be Big Damn Heroes after all.
