/5eg/ D&D Fifth Edition General

...

she should call me onii-sama

>ok, so my damage is 1d8+5?
>No its +3 because you don't add the proficiency to damage
?

Only so long until we become just like /pfg/ now

And you don't add either of proficiency or ability modifier to your spell's damage, even a melee spell like Shocking Grasp.

Moon Druids are faggots, everything else is bro-tier.

We need the occasional biting sarcastic animoo OP so that we can poke fun at /pfg/

Pay it no mind other than a quiet smirk to yourself and all will be well.

Going between ranged and melee easily? Having OK AC even if you're caught naked? Being pretty good vs normal attacks and those that cause dex saves? I know that's not really getting at your core point, but having both of those high isn't necessarily pointless.

you're a fucking faggot, Max

Why is /5eg/ so bland? Like seriously folks you guys talk about nothing new? Is it because the game releases jack shit or is it because this general is just /OSR/'s younger brother?

I mean fuck guys even when you do the whole "lol we are degenerates" thing you all do it like sad old men.

5e does seem to have a lot of "balance" in the sense of everything equals out to be the exact same.

Nearly every thread there's people who are new to the game asking questions about mechanics, etc. If it seems repetitive it's because there's constantly new people playing the game. That, and spam.

>some kind of hentai OP
>discord server
>didn't link the last thread

Ignore the troll. He'll get tired soon.

What exactly are you expecting? New material is discussed when it's released. The UA for this month already came out and the last big things, Storm King's Thunder and Volo's Guide, were quite a while ago. At quiet moments like these the general content is pretty much answering rules questions and arguing over interpretations or house rules.

Oh I know its just weird. I just started playing the system and was Really happy my stat rolls gave me18's in STR and DEX. I figured I would be locked down some in the first few levels but there would be a feat or something down the line that lets me use both for AC. As is I see no reason to use medium or heavy armor because light gives me so much more.

Yeah I noticed that. I actually kinda like it when it comes to the ADAR of the different classes and what not but it feels like they went over board with it in a lot of places.

I am a Jarl irl
ask me anything

That's bounded accuracy baby

Although 17 is only the cap for non-magical medium and light, and there are other ways to get it higher

DMs of Veeky Forums, at what level would YOU typically give your martials plate mail?

>A Fighter starts with Chainmail AC 16. CR 1/8 to CR 2 monsters have an attack bonus of +3, which gives them a 40% chance to hit versus the Fighter.
>At CR 3, the monsters have an attack bonus of +4, at which point you might expect the Fighter to upgrade to Splint Mail AC 17 to maintain parity.
>At CR 4, the monsters have an attack bonus of +5, at which point you might expect the Fighter to upgrade to Plate Mail AC 18 to maintain parity.

Would you say when they're regularly facing CR4 enemies or higher?

Please, start discussion if you have something to discuss.
Speaking of...

How often do your groups meet, /5eg/? Just started DMing a weekly campaign and am already considering dropping it down to every other so I can focus more on real life shit.

I mean hell at least things like /srg/, /pfg/, and /exg/ all at least have something to talk about in greater depth. I mean hell right after the UA comes out the general immediately goes "fuck it its stupid, ignore it"

Then there's the fact that there seems to be literally no one else out there producing content for 5e. There seems to just be no Dream Scarred Press for 5e.

6-8

My group plays 3 weeks out of every month since one of our players likes to play Army in his spare time and goes to national guard drill.

Kobold Press puts out tons of stuff but /5eg/ gets really upset about anything not official.

And things that are official.

And everything.

Reposting here from last thread

Whats the best animal to awaken and keep in your beard?

Heavy armor goes up to 18 AC.

>How often do your groups meet, /5eg/
Once per week, but I have multiple groups because tabletops are my main hobby.

>Tomb of horrors
>party walks through mist
>all of their gear is teleported to the end of the dungeon
>they are teleported to the beginning

this is the most hilarious dungeon

Don't bully the moon druids!

So splint mail would be a good option for them from 3-6?

That's another thing. Why the fuck is /5eg/ so autistic about core only? I mean fuck man thats the most boring kind of game.

Like if you want to be grognards just go play OSR you will have much more to find there.

18 times a day they can change into their fursonas

usually just go chain to plate in our games

No, I will bully the moon druids, especially since they have the fucking damage soak for it.

shut up

Well you see in /pfg/ homebrew is accepted because even though it's trash, pathfinder is always trash.

When it comes to 5e you have a choice between trash homebrew and actually good official content.

Is there a way for barbarians to effectively barbarian in heavy armor?

Is the moon druid h8 a meme or what?

So basically its because the general has a massive stick up its ass and Mearls cock in its mouth?

I mean shit guys Variety's the spice of life and all that. Thats a fact accepted in literally every other general.

Our custom live-game is at level 17. My elf wizard and his gnome apprentice were spying on barbarians on an island north of Evermeet, and one of them stumbled up drunk and said "An elf and a gnome?" then he looked at the bottle in his hand, threw it down and stumbled off. I laughed because I think that's how an actual Viking would have reacted

Yes, mainly because no one actually hits level 20 so the Onion Druid can't really be a thing.

by being a samurai

If they don't mind being unable to rage.

I really think its because dandwiki sucks so much dick. I've seen people post homebrew classes, etc in here met with lots of support, constructive criticism... or being completely shit on

of course not

Please ignore the troll.

Not being a troll man. I'm just asking questions. Admittedly I am asking them like a jack ass but I really wish to know why you folks aren't just a part of /OSR/ since you people really seem to want to be that.

So I need some help choosing my character for an upcoming game. The current party is:
>Human Paladin (Oath of Vengeance)
>Human Warlock
>Human Fighter (Samurai)
>Half-Orc Bard
>High Elf Cleric
>High Elf Fighter (Pirate)
>Drow Elf Rogue (Arcane Trickster)

Would you agree with this statement:

The five most favorite archetypes (not necessarily most powerful, just most liked archetypes) in D&D 5e are:
>Battle Master
>Great Old One
>College of Lore
>Swashbuckler
>Oath of Ancients

Samurai? I thought that class didn't make it to 5.0 or is in the UA somewhere?

Ok was just wondering. I'm trying to get a grasp on the system. I want to keep it simple and just be a walking slab of metal that hits like a truck and can shrug off a hill giant punching him. I figured a heavy armor barbarian would do the trick until I saw the restriction in their rage. Was seeing if there was a feat or a magic item or something that let me rage in full plate.

no?
not even close

That's a huge party. If DM allows UA, Artificer may be fun. Otherwise, ranged fighter/ranger or a Wizard.

Lucky Halfling Diviner.

You've got no short races, nor do you have a dedicated arcane caster. No, bards don't count.

>>Battle Master
Absolutely

>>Great Old One
Eh, it seems Fiend wins out more often

>>College of Lore
Also absolutely

>>Swashbuckler
Probably

>>Oath of Ancients
It's 50/50 with Vengeance

Is the half orc bard a bardgrappler? If so are we in the same party?

Anyway play a Wizard

Just go barbarian and be a walking slab of meat and flesh. You don't need armor, you have manly pecs.

I'd probably go with something like finding a new group with less people
If you don't want to do that, non-necromancer wizard

A barbarian is a warrior who exemplifies mind over matter. By willing himself stronger via his rages, he becomes stronger and more able to take damage. They often come from primitive cultures who value strength and stoicism.

A fighter on the other hand is a precision trained warrior who uses weapons and armor to enhance his already formidable skills.

Just choose one and go with it.

it's a fighter UA, the level 3 ability gives them a mini berserk that lasts a round and a half

Because OSR sucks.

The Samurai is a Fighter Archetype that gets a 3 times per short rest ability that works like a mini one round Rage without drawbacks.

A thing to note is AC is specificly one thing the Barbarian won't actually be good at, considering most enemies will always have Advantage against you. They tank by killing things fast, resistance to damage and having a high HP

I think we just had a whole series of polls to determine this very thing.

You know you're a massive faggot, right?

Well, I want to win this argument, but I don't want to put any effort into it, so I'm just going to post various lengths of text from a Lorem Ipsum generator and win by rights of brow-beating you until I have the last word.

Just assume it's a massive spergpost detailing why every decision you've made in life is wrong, and why every post you've made is wrong, and we'll call it good.

Are warlocks that popular in other groups? I've been playing since the playtest and so far I've seen one guy play one

DM. Steal half the party and the current DM and run your own campaign with them, the DM will thank you. Now that your compatriots have been reduced from 7 to 3 or 4, finding where you fit will be a lot easier.

So basically you in no way can explain why /5eg/ has a massive stick up its ass?

I had a guy in one of my groups play warlock. Turns out agonizing blast spam was pretty boring.

Because we're unlikable people with hatred in our hearts. Happy?

More than any other class it depends on the GM. Some are really fucking big on the whole pact patron thing.

Plus... Agonizing Blast Spam is fucking terrible for the fun factor.

because its Veeky Forums why the fuck else

Well I have the image of Alphonse in my mind so I was aiming for that. I'll probably play a fighter.

Thanks bro's I'll probably play that then.

How is unarmed in 5.0 or is that more of a monk only thing?

As someone who's played in a live game weekly since 5e was released, BM fighters are very common, hunter rangers, wizards of all kinds, life clerics and thief rogues are also very popular. Monks are never played, and druids are very very rare. I've seen people who rolled druids kill them off and try something else, usually a cleric. Devotion paladins are great when played well. Humans elves and dwarves are the common races, but halflings appear sometimes and usually played by women. Never see gnomes.

CHINESE CARTOON GET OUT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>How is unarmed in 5.0 or is that more of a monk only thing?
Outside of homebrew it's a monk only thing.

That's the right answer.

strawpoll.me/12550821/r

hahahahahaha

I like it because it doesn't kill you and any actual person would give up at this point but players never will

Just ambush and loot some knights

consider the heavy armor feat with samurai, broken flat damage reduction + resistance.

I really hate that GOOlock is so high up, I genuinely don't think there's anything good about it
Create thrall is interesting but that's it

Counterspel

Good job posting cropped lolicon porn there, hombre.

i wanted to leave with some other guys, but two guys were'nt having it bc i'm only one of two ppl who have actually played

strawpoll.me/12540480/r

For some reason, it beat Fiend and Hexblade.

Good job recognizing it.

About how often does everyone on Veeky Forums have a player go unconscious and making death saves?

Probably because Create Thrall and that compared to other patrons the GOO will probably fuck with you less

it's not rare

Tends to be at least one every session but they rarely actually die because the party has a life cleric, a devotion paladin and a bard

I think Fiend is pretty dull (pacts with the devil are kind of played out) and Fey is really underrated in my opinion.

sauce?

Every time I see Undying I'll get disappointed, it's exactly what I want for flavor from a Warlock but it's so irredeemably shit. They didn't even give it Invocations in the UA.

That sounds about right. I think I've gone down at least once or twice per session for the past 4 sessions.
