Not joking about the imp cum.quote:- No poison. Poison is out. No more imp cum. We're doing too much offensive damage as it stands, and Poison is poised to make things even more insane. Stop jerking off poison imps! Darys hasn't even hit anything yet and it's all dying! Move over Scrunts.

In my defense, the imp is immune to both poison (such that his chronic masturbation won't poison him), and immune to fire damage (such that the constant friction won't burn him). He wants it.

C'mon, don't knock it 'til you tried it. Jacking off imps and venomous ejaculate are very common kinks.

mastershakeman posted:Why didn't they just use its blood? the cum is more poisonous, check the monster manual. This is my problem with D&D: the game's too clunky to sort out effective responses to stuff like poisoning people with imp cum. There's a lot of responsibility on the DM to figure out the strength of imp cum and if they get it wrong, the imp cum can ruin the experience. But at the same time, the rule's aren't organised enough to make figuring out what imp cum will do an easy job. imp cum

Is that the game where someone was applying the bonus damage from Hex to Magic Missile (which doesn't work RAW)? When I saw that, I remember thinking "oh, well that guy's never going to be in danger again." If you want an excuse to avoid poison shenanigans, technically the DMG (p258) states that you can only attempt to harvest poison from creatures that are dead or incapacitated, so the imp is definitely not milking itself. That still doesn't fix the fact that poison lets you pay money/time to overwhelmingly win fights, unless your DM can improvise to prevent it (everyone has Protection From Poison up, whoops).

Auto-erotic impsphyxiation, just put a jar under it's stinger and it chokes itself out until incapacitated. Problem solved.

Ha ha ha. I thought it was done.quote:Redacted Also Vanguard Warden I am fairly sure Mearls said Hex works with Magic Missile. So yeah. Admittedly that is Mearls and I don't know about Crawford. EDIT: Removed the quotes, suffice to say there was more talk about some crazy ideas that involved breaking into people's homes, using the ever changing familiar as a sprite to detect alignment, then slit throats, then burn the town to the ground so everyone would have to come live in the new city they plan on building.

Ryuujin posted:I am fairly sure Mearls said Hex works with Magic Missile. So yeah. Admittedly that is Mearls and I don't know about Crawford. He says here that Hex requires an attack, but either way he's not an outstanding source. Regarding Hex, PHB251 says "Until the spell ends, you deal an extra 1d6 necrotic damage to the target whenever you hit it with an attack." PHB194 says "If there’s ever any question whether something you’re doing counts as an attack, the rule is simple: if you’re making an attack roll, you’re making an attack." You can rule it any way you want because it's ~up to the DM~ and all that, but fights are going to be a joke if you slap a flat damage boost on something that auto-hits multiple times. Ryuujin posted:Redacted See, printed adventures don't account for situations like those, because the solution is "your shenanigans drew the attention of a god and now you're hosed". EDIT: I actually really enjoy the crazy poo poo that spellcasters can get up to, I just wish those options weren't limited to spellcasters and (to a much lesser extent) rogues.

Magic Missile auto hits and doesn't use an attack roll or even a saving throw. So it's not an attack I guess.

Well Magic Missile does say:quote:You create three glowing darts of magical force. Each dart hits a creature of your choice that you can see within range. I can try and go looking for the ruling but I know it was said at some point that Magic Missile and Hex work together.

The fighter can't just hire people to fight for him, that's crazy. It'd throw off the encounter math/break the action economy/not make any sense. The wizard summoning an army of skeletons? Well, that's a class feature. Ryuujin posted:Well Magic Missile does say "hit". Even if that weren't just a case of terrible word choice, the book makes it very clear (in a very small passage that everyone skips over) that something is not considered an attack unless you make an attack roll.

Power gaming is always possible, the problem comes when designers think they can avoid the problem by closing their eyes tightly and yelling until it goes away.

I'm finally going to be playing in a 5E campaign (runing OotA) for the first time and it's time for me to get even with the DM for all the insane shenanigans he's pulled on me over the years, playing in campaigns I've run. I keep seeing references in this thread about Necromancers with legions of skeletons, but reading through the PHB, it looks like the Necromancy school is kind of thin beyond Animate Dead and Create Undead, and I'm wondering if I might be better off making another sort of rear end in a top hat Wizard. Where can I find some reasonably good guides on how to properly optimize this class in this edition? Is it really just as simple as sacrificing all spell utility past 5th level and hoarding hordes of horrors?
