This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Warboss Squee;837809I really wish EK wasn't focused on being a blaster.  It's a FIGHTER! You get killy-death dealing out of the box.  Giving the EK more buff ability would have been much better.

And yes, I realize you can grab a few free spells as you level, but still, it's only a few.

What sort of buff spells are you looking for? Because I can imagine several fun Champions with the Magic Initiate feat. Fighters get extra ability increases to spend...

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Quote from: Omega;8378751: I assume you mean its just a large normal spider. up to like  a tarantula?

I see the most awesome prank for a Moon Druid-2/Warlock-1(Great Old One patron): turn into a giant spider (Large creature) while stepping out of hiding, crushing the newly summoned itty bitty spider familiar and telepathically telling the Wizard "Hi, I'm your familiar." My divination school Wizard would totally spend a low foretelling roll and a Suggestion spell to make the other guy believe it, just because it would be that hilarious.

Thats the sort of thing Kefra would do. One session Jan woke up webbed up and Kefra in giant spider form gloating gleefully about how she was going to eat her. Slowly.

Quote from: rawma;837889It's 39 if you're careful to only shoot an even number of arrows before collecting, unless you only have one arrow; you shoot 2 arrows and collect one back (or 2N with N back), so until you have one arrow left you can get two shots per arrow you lose: 38. Then the last arrow only gives you one shot, so total of 39. It's only 20 if you shoot one arrow per combat. I'm counting, that's who. :p

(It's kind of like how a spherical area of effect ends up being square on a grid, or flanking diagonally to minimize non-AoO shifting, or a defensive line with the grain on a hex map.)

Yes it drops to 38 only if you chose to shoot all 5 of your arrows as then you only get 2 back :)

I wonder if you used a recursive bow you could get an inspiration point for a terrible pun......

Do you only get 1/4th of an arrow back when using a short bow?
