Today, 03:18 PMIncorrect. Recall your own claim: "It makes you immune to Passive Investigation/Perception checks; you never have to worry about them." And my...295 replies | 11866 view(s)

Today, 03:05 PMPer the definition of a passive check: 'A passive check is a special kind of ability check that doesn't involve any die rolls. Such a check can...295 replies | 11866 view(s)

Today, 02:24 PMThis is my interpretation as well. It doesn't make the action possible, it makes it so you don't need to roll. The question is how big a deal...295 replies | 11866 view(s)

Yesterday, 11:31 PMYou basically have it backwards. If high skill checks matter, that's more reason to take the Souknife instead, not less.295 replies | 11866 view(s)

Yesterday, 03:53 PMMaking skills more limited to protect Impostor is not to the Rogue's overall benefit, however.295 replies | 11866 view(s)

Yesterday, 03:14 PMThe Ring of Mind Shielding is another example of something that's arguably a bigger non-combat feature than everything the subclass gives you. As...295 replies | 11866 view(s)

Yesterday, 12:55 PMAt level 13+, the kind of things I want to spend such a time investment to infiltrate are like... mind flayers or angels or liches or devils, and...295 replies | 11866 view(s)

Yesterday, 12:09 AMI think Steady Eye (Advantage on Investigation/Perception when moving half speed) might be the most significant feature of the lot. But yeah, throw...295 replies | 11866 view(s)

2024-04-26, 07:32 PMThe biggest beneficiaries would likely be Thief (because of their level 17 feature) and Phantom (because of Ghost Walk and Death's Friend).295 replies | 11866 view(s)

2024-04-26, 06:19 PMAssassin's level 9 and 13 features are the sort of things that you could arguably have done with regular skill checks even if the feature never...295 replies | 11866 view(s)

2024-04-26, 06:01 PMYou could probably smoosh all of the noncombat features of Assassin, Mastermind, and Inquisitive together and still have less than the Soulknife gets.295 replies | 11866 view(s)

2024-04-26, 05:29 PMThat's quite a translation of "This is the best non-combat feature that Inquisitives get." :smallconfused: The words you typed bear no...295 replies | 11866 view(s)

2024-04-26, 03:21 PMInquisitive is better off than the Mastermind, but still underwhelming. As a big fan of the detective archetype, I feel like this was another big...295 replies | 11866 view(s)

2024-04-26, 01:17 PMUgh, the Mastermind is such a wasted opportunity. :smallfrown: - Help as a short range bonus action is only a sidegrade to Cunning Action (if...295 replies | 11866 view(s)

2024-04-26, 04:46 AMRogues can indeed be built as tanks. Grab an Arcane Trickster, get them a shield and some defensive spells, toss on features like Evasion an Uncanny...295 replies | 11866 view(s)

2024-04-25, 05:03 PMAdding to this: - Since it's dealing damage in fewer chunks, sneak attack wastes more damage to overflow than the competition. - Sneak Attack is...295 replies | 11866 view(s)

2024-04-24, 12:30 PMNo. This is the barest of basics. :smallconfused: As a Wis-based class with Guidance, a Stars Druid can one-up a Rogue's Perception while...295 replies | 11866 view(s)
