>doing the math now I'm cockblocked my sorcery point caps.
I assume I need 8 sorcery points max in order to spend 8 on one turn even if I spend a spell slot for more points.
They made it really hard to do tons of damage like a boss. I just want to do 12d12 damage on one turn at level 8, is that so much to ask?
ouh, which twists would you put?
I'm a fairly new both dm and tabletop player.
Advice building a Flaming Grappler in 5th edition? I am DMing Lost Mine of Phandelver and have a friend who wants to build a grappler who sets himself on fire and then grapples people. I would prefer to find a magical way to do it, but I can't find any touch attack fire spells that stack with grapple attempts. I may have to just suggest a non magical means or homebrew something. Any help would be appreciated.
Beast master is the most underpowered class in the game. If you're using it in any way as a basis for your balance opinions about other classes, you've got serious problems with your argument.
And yes, Pact of Chain Familiars can use the help action, explicitly RAW.
Yeah, you got it right. It usually takes a little multiclassing to get serious single target damage out of a sorcerer, but you give up aoe potential and versatility for that kind of character.
Yes. Explicitly by RAW, you can be trying to tell the town guard that you are not a warlock.
Your imp can come around the corner and give you advantage through the 'help' action, to help tell the guard you are not a warlock.
That is RAW.
That is a thing.
And I'll be damned if I ever see a DM allow you to do that, or allow a player to do that myself, because that is downright stupid and what the purpose of having a DM is - to cut out blatant, unintended abuse of the RAW.
I honestly can't think of anything off the top of my head. Never really considered it. Take a look at the character race and if something sticks out as 'that would not fit' then toss it. Same with 'really need that and it is not there', just add it.
But I can't think of anything specific right now.
My greater point is not to wait for the official officialness to come out. If you don't tell anyone, they likely will never know. Or even care.
Just narrate the thing as if they are goblins, use Matt's game as an example, and go with it. Focus on size problems above all else. You will do fine.
Well I figured the action surge from fighter would be good for that, but I guess not.
I mean I did have the idea of going dragonborn, then being a draconic sorcerer, and doing like,
Breath Weapon + cantrip + quickened spell. That would be pretty cool I guess.
Ice knife, for a low-level interpretation of "loads of damage."
Spend a 2nd level slot on it, twin it, and send the knives at a pair of chumps within 5 feet of each other.
Despite creating an AoE damage effect, Ice Knife explicitly only targets the intended recipient of the spell attack.
thanks for the help :) much appreciated
