Thoughts on added effects for damage types? They do basically nothing in 5th edition
All damages apply if dealt a critical hit or critical failure on forced save. Target can make a save at the end of their next turn to end effect (if valid). DC= 8+Profency+Ability modifier for attack
>Slashing Target takes 1d4 bleed damage at the start of each turn. CON save
>Piercing Next attack against the creature has Advantage
>Bludgeoning If the foe is one size above you or less, it is knocked prone
>Fire The target catches fire and takes 1d4 fire damage at the start of each turn until it uses an action to put out the flames, or succeeds on a CON save
>Cold The target is frozen and is restrained until the end of its next turn.
>Lightning Lightning leaps from the target to another random target within 10 feet of the one struck, dealing half the damage taken by the first.
>Thunder The target is stunned and deafened. CON save to end
>Acid Attack roles against the creature score a critical hit on 19 or 20. CON save to end
>Poison The target is poisoned and takes 1d4 poison damage at the start of each of its turns. CON save
>Radiant The target is blinded. CON save
>Necrotic The target does not receive any health from the next healing effect which targets it
>Psychic Target is Charmed and Stunned. Intelligence save to end
>Force The target is knocked 10 feet backwards from the source of the damage.

I'm playing a lv 3 Shadar Kai Gloomstalker with a bow. Is it worth my time to keep pushing for multiattack at 5 (we may only ever get to 5 before we start something else), or go for rogue 1/fighter 1 to get sneak attack and close quarters fighting style?
David Nelson
Reminder that it is GAY to multiclass
Cooper Robinson
Instead of making a goddamn table and shit you should apply to the situation.
i.e. a golem falls into pieces and is stunned temporarily before it tries to reform if you hit it with a critical bludgeoning hit or lightning causes it to bug up and attack at random.
Adapt the monsters in your game, not damage types themselves.
Lucas Martin
Just to clarify - jumping uses the strength SCORE, not modifier?
Lincoln Watson
This simply reduces combat to whichever side’s caster gets high initiative wins. Most of those effects are rediculously strong for just being damage types.

There is nothing wrong with multiclassing as long as you:
A) Shut down the very few bullshit multiclasses such as sorlock, single level cleric dip on wizard, hexblade dip, etc. B) Don't allow multiclassing with UA or homebrew material, not that you should have those when you have multiclassing. C) Discourage new players from trying multiclassing if they clearly don't know what they're doing to avoid them making themselves weaker. D) Ask for a suitable character explanation for the multiclass.
Feats are fine as long as you're not playing with only newbies.
David Jenkins
Hey, I've been polishing my Jojo inspired Hamon monk subclass. How is it looking now? Some of you were kind enough to give me lots of advice last night, thanks again.
D is by far the most important. I also disallow classing into Wizard, Sorcerer, and Druid. Warlock too unless they can somehow find a way to snag a pact (not easy). Wizards and Druids are things that take years to achive, and sorcerers are born, not made
Jason Lopez
Nice, thanks.

>Wizard Multiclassing into wizard makes no less sense than a wizard getting another class level in wizard. You don't just suddenly learn how to cast wish in the middle of a dungeon after beating up some big enemy. It's much easier to learn grease and some level 1 spells at that point. So, in both cases, you need a suitable downtime. >Sorcerer Sorcerers ARE made. They are basically warlocks gaining powers from a pact with a dragon or artifact or fey or whatever the heck, except that their children and grandchildren and so forth may potentially also inherit their sorcerous power so many sorcerers aren't the original sorcerer who made the pact. >Druid Probably the hardest, yes, but the same deal as with wizard - downtimes. A druid doesn't make much sense suddenly gaining powers without a downtime, and so does multiclassing into druid. >Warlock By far both the easiest and hardest (though pretty much the same as sorcerer) since the power gain is immediate and it's circumstanstial. However, a high intellect character such as an occultist should be able to work out how to summon and make a pact, whereas with charisma you'd expect that you have to get lucky.

>Hide then spam vicious mockery They reveal themselves again automatically when they cast that spell or attack or whatever. You can't do jack shit about kiting other than being a proper fighter who took goddamn CBE and SS and mowing down faggots like that with your crazy ranged strength.
Your best bet is obtaining haste cast on you, outrunning the rogue and then grappling+shoving them prone unless they have athletics/acrobatics expertise which they might well do. And if they do, do it anyway because you can make several grapple/shove attempts in a turn. If just outright being the shit out of them isn't easier.
Ethan Hill
Dm is hands off and me and the rouge we're isolated up until the end of last session when he made it back to the party

If you're a theurge that's even more reason you don't need to multiclass. Sure, it means you could have obtained healing word or something anyway, but the real brokenness is that you go straight up to 21 AC.
You should preserve the non-armoured clerics in the form of favoured soul sorcerer and theurge wizard because there aren't any other unarmoured healers.

Do you allow Lore Wizard?

In fact, them more then anyone thanks to the implied experience with favored enemy >Warlock That doesn't conflict with what I said
Chase Cox
Why would you bother pumping everything into AC? Its a waste of perfectly good other options?
You can get a second domain to further play up a specific diety. You can spend your cleric memorizations on healing and buffs leaving your wizard slots for other things. Armor is great and all, but min-maxing it isnt worthwhile as long as youve got fighter types to back you up.
You should talk to the other player and decide a way to fight it out off screen in a method that preserves your friendship IRL, yet comes to a suitable conclusion so one of you can make a new character
Lincoln Morris

Still looks cool. I have a request make an NPC with it! I kinda want to put one in my game at some point.

Dipping into ranger makes zero fucking sense. Things like favored enemy would take years of experience in character. Same with warlock, especially hexblade, since you can't just summon something like that

then maybe talk to the DM and have him step in? If the DM kills his character off/univites the player, there is no need to worry about pvp.
I know you said the DM was hands off, but implore them to reconsider as it is imposing upon your fun.

Bentley Watson
In our next game, we were going to start around level 8 or so, but we wanted there to give a benefit to single class characters since by that point in time, most multiclass builds are operational. We were kicking around the idea that if your character is only a single-class you can take a second sub-class, but the features of the second sub-class will be delayed by a few levels - probably 2 or 3. Multiclass characters would follow RAW. Could this work or will it be a clusterfuck?
Luis Turner
Rip a WoW dungeon. I would recommend Mara, Shadowfang Keep or literally anything from vanilla. BRD would be great for a huge one
Mason Carter
Is there a ruling for this? In wot4e seems like elemental disciplines like Unbroken Air don't count as spells and can thus be pumped with as much ki as you can spare. Is this RAW and RAI?
Side question, Unbroken Air and Water Whip should count as magical damage right?
Nathan Thompson
I always kinda assumed monks used psyonics to cast. Could have sworn I read that somewhere
Benjamin Anderson
>Slashing Makes sense and not overpowered
>Piercing Why advantage? Seems a bit arbitrary.
>Bludgeoning Needs to be a save but otherwise good.
>Fire Makes sense and not overpowered
>Cold Way too strong, even with a save. Cold I would go with slowing by 10 feet.
>Lightning Potentially strong. Not sure how I feel about this one, but it probably needs a Dex save for the second target. My gut instinct is to add a save or paralyze effect to lightning but paralyze is also super powerful.
>Thunder Stunned is too much. Deafen is perfectly fine though.
>Acid An interesting effect and not too powerful, but feels just a bit arbitrary.
>Poison Makes sense and not overpowered, considering how much resistance and immunity to poison there is
>Radiant Makes sense and is not overpowered
>Necrotic Makes sense but needs a Wisdom save.
>Psychic Stunned is too much. Charm or Fear would make sense.
>Force Makes sense but needs a Strength save.
Kayden Morris
I just meant as for the damage, magical to overcome resistance to non magical damage.
Jack Gutierrez
Well, it would be nice for it to have some mechanics linked to it, like if it was 2e, I don't have a huge amount of time to prepare
Sebastian Moore
Sorcerers very explicitly can be made, such as a character falling ass-backwards into a fount of magical energy that suffuses him with power. Wizards and Druids can be explained pretty easily. About as easily as Fighter, honestly, since it explains that becoming a Fighter isn't just picking up a sword. First level Fighters themselves have years of training and experience. It also makes about as much sense for a Fighter to take a level in Wizard as it does for him to select Eldritch Knight as his archetype. Or for a Paladin to select their Oath after they reach third level and have spent a demonstrable amount of time adventuring away from their fellow paladins.
Every class can be difficult or easy to explain multiclassing. The key is in how the player does it story-wise. It does matter a bit why they decide to do it mechanically, but there's absolutely nothing inherently wrong with wanting to try new things or experiment with options in the system. There will always be those fuckers that are clearly trying to exploit balance stuff, though.

>Piercing The idea is that it pierces through your armor. It is weird though, any other suggestions? >Overall Is it really nessesary to have them make another save on some of these after critting or crit failing a different save.

Whats wrong with being restrained for a turn?

Jaxon White
Because there's some hot nonsense that people want in E5 and it's better than homebrewing it all. I would fucking love to play an Artificer next time I played D&D but currently I'm just running games.
I played a Minotaur in a 3.5 game once. Level 10 holy Barbarian and it was the fucking best thing ever. I was basically righteous raging with none of the guff of Paladin holding me down. I remember specifically specifically kneecapping a Storm Giant with my Warhammer (2 hander w/ greatclub stats) and caving it's head in with my absurd strength. Was a fucking amazing game all around and had a great time.
Cool part was that because it was a high level game set in the DM's distant past we all got to impact the lore of the universe, and had stuff relating to our characters put into the world. I had a whole island of minotaurs created named after my own character, with a huge city that was literally a labyrinth.

Deep learning can now be used to feed bots sample texts and have the produce an original text in the same style. With that, combined with existing chatbot software, do you guys think we could see the creation of a good DMbot in the near future?

But to that point, I'd never bullshit a player into turning evil against their will. If they don't want to do it I can bullshit a workaround.

Explain ritual caster? Explain any class that gains spellcasting at level 2?

Logan Fisher
If a Moon Druid has the Primal Strike ability, which says your attacks in beast form count as magical, and they are Polymorphed into, say, a giant ape, are the giant ape's attacks magical? Or does it only apply to their Wild Shape attacks?
Bentley Carter
it's a wildshape modifier so it doesn't affect non-wildshape shapeshifting
James Reed
>take Thunderwave >proceed to win every encounter and invalidate multiple enemies as you have a 1st level spell that stuns everything in a 15ft cube >even if you make the save happen immediately it's still strictly better Stunning Strike that has range, is less resource intensive, tends to have a harder save due to SAD classes unlike Monk, is accessible from level fucking 1, and effects multiple creatures People like you are why no one takes homebrewers seriously.
Jaxon Gomez
I think the crit on 19 or 20 effect would be a good fit for Pierce, considering that pierce weapons tend towards precision
I didn't actually see the line about these taking effect on a critical hit. I assumed that these would always go off.
Restrained is only alright with a save. It completely cripples melee characters outside of melee range and otherwise puts them at disadvantage which is still huge. I would still go with slow because when cold does anything in 5e it slows things down.

We were given a quest to take down this deity in the swers in the city, as cultists were allegedly trying to raise said deity to take over the town. We adventure down to some ruins, and find the room with the 'deity' behind a sarcophagi.
Along the way we got clues from a friendly cyclops that we had to use this book in the room to destroy the 'deity' or unleash it. So we did, or, well, I did. I pick up the book and started chanting some rituals to bring the 'deity' out of the sarcophagus. The 'deity' in question was some sort of celestial spirit that acted like an automaton.
The DM gave me a choice of either gaining control over the celestial, or I could destroy it to finish the quest. I decided to destroy the celestial. Up until that point our group had 'failed' our quests under the notion that we would be preventing a greater evil from sprouting up.
This time though, I wanted to change that as the quest giver was a church we had tense relationships with. The church was a major funder of this adventurer's union we were a part of, and so it was in my best interest to finish this quest so that my guild could still have funding.
I recite a passage from the book and destroy the celestial. The DM revealed that I was attuned to the Book of Vile Darkness and thats where I am now.
