    D&D (2024) Spell Theif is not as bad aa it looks.

    Spell Thief lets you negate a spell effect on yourself, and then get a copy of that spell if the caster fails a saving throw. And a friendly caster can willingly fail a saving throw. Thus, a friendly wizard casts fireball or other AoE and includes you. You use your reaction, they willing fail...

    D&D (2024) Max Slow possible?

    Thus far I got barbarian 9/Eldrich knight 11. Use a whip before fighter 9, hand axe afterwards, converting the mastery to slow. Sharpshooter for some extra range. Slow Mastery = -10' Slasher feat = -10' Barbarian Hamstring = -15' Ray of frost (Eldrich Knight) = -10'. = -45' of movement with...

    D&D (2024) Best fix for conjure minor elemental?

    CME clearly scales harder than intended when combined with lots of attacks. Mainly Scorching Ray and (quicken) Eldritch Blast. I.e. Cast CME at 9th level, it adds 12d8 per attack Use Eldritch Blast + Quicken Eldritch Blast for 8 attacks. 8d10 +96d8 = 476 damage per round. *Not included...

    You can use opportunity attacks to shove allies 5'. Get a line of pesants... Also with Warcaster, you can use it to cast buffs onthem when they walk past. From the second half of this. This still uses your reaction, but can be helpful in certain circumstances.

    Taken from here DC 15, with cover, and turns you invisible. Am I reading this right that you can hide around a corner and just walk past the guards at the front entrance? Suggested fix. In the Hide action, add You also lose the condition if you end your turn with no cover and no concealment

    Just for fun.. There are 20 combinations of 3 ability scores, and 16 backgrounds. Assuming no repeats, what 4 combinations will NOT show in the PHB? *Custom background are available in the DMG, and I expect that will be the default for most tables, but let's ignore that for this thread.

    D&D (2024) Sort weapon table by...

    IMO, the weapon table could be sorted better. I don't know anyone who picks weapons based on their name. But I can easily see someone looking for a weapon with Push. So how should the weapon table be sorted?

    D&D (2024) Animate Objects

    All the Conjure spells where replaced, but Animate Objects has the same basic issue. Unfortunately, the spell name is officially plural. So limiting it to one object doesn't seem like it will work. So what's a good replacement for it?
