no wrong. the shadow monk ability to see throught darkness only apply to the darkness spell cast with his monk feature. Not cast by anyone else, not cast using any other class nor any other feature. Sure you can homebrew it differently, but as per the book, no shadow monk cannot see throught the darkness spell cast using his species spell feature.
Thank you so much for your message! It shame that interaction doesn't work because a shadow monk drow sounds so much fun but in DnD the devil it's always in the details lol
@@sohkaswifteagle2604 not quite. While it is true that you can't see out of your own casting of darkness, you could still use it for misdirection or escape. After all, if you know a direction to dash in, then do you really need to see? Faerie Fire works to assist allies who are dealing with foes away from your darkness bubble and dancing lights, when used to create a humanoid shape, creates a brief distraction to aid in sneaking. Sure the spells aren't quite as useful as the main feature, but its all about using all the tools in your toolkit.
Fire Resistance is actually the least useful one of the three Tiefling resistances, lot of monsters have fire resistance or immunity, but necrotic and especially poison are far more common damage types that monsters deal to players than fire. This isn't saying that fire resistance is bad, as it's still fairly common damage type, but necrotic and poison are literally the two best non-physical damage types to have resistance to as a player character.
Thank you, also I should specify that each damage type would be better in a different campaign, necrotic resistance will be amazing in a Cos campaign while fire will be awesome in Avernus. But yeah maybe I was underestimating poison damage and I got a fire bias because i throw a lot of fireballs at my players lol
Damn the Aasimar bias is crazy dragon born is just way better than them they resistances suck since they are so rare unless its from players and has a longer flight period
I understad what you say, and Dragonbron could have reached S tier also, the thing here it's that every class and character type will be improved by an Aasimar, If you are a range attacker, you got flight, Melee you can try the fear effect or the aura if you are far away from allies and you can choose them every transformation, while melee dragonborn will use less flight and range dragonborn won't use the breath weapon. Also Aasimar get the flying ability earlier and in combat 1 minute and 10 tend to mean the same as no combat tends to go more than 6 rounds. Two combat in a row it's strange because most group would short rest at least between encounters. Outside of combat yeah the dragonborn wings tend to be better. Also ,at least necrotic tends to be used any moment the group fight undead at my tables and there's a few modules with enemies that use radiant damage. They also get Light a very handy cantrip that it's useful for the pc's without darkvision and a little bit of healing that it's always great even to top your health outside of combat. It's just the mix of very handy things put together that make every character better. Thank you so much for your message and honestly I think that both races are spectacular in this game!
I don't like halflings, I think mechanically, they're one of the strongest races because of halfling luck, meaning the lowest you can roll is a 2 in most cases (rolling snake eyes is a 1/400), they no longer have the obligatory short race nerf of 25 feet of movement, and being able to move past creatures by being small comes into play more times than you'd think. Putting them in C and putting Human is S is insane. Variant Human was insanely strong with the extra feat, but base human is kinda awful
Thank you for your comment! yeah halfling luck it's great because it just makes you generally better but outside of that it doesn't get much, the normal movement just put them at the same level as the rest of the classes and again the movement past creatures it's generally useful to monks and rogues because they have high mobility, they are great rogues or even monks but their kit doesn't specialise in anything else. Meanwhile humans can still pick a feat and the starting feats are crazy strong and can create builds that only a human can have at the start (like a healing rogue) (Or an alert wizard with healing word as one of his spells) nobody can do the builds that a human can.
To be honest probably the ranking will depend on the specific way every table plays, this is just a ranking that probably values more the things I tend to use at my campaigns. But yeah it's a lie, I actually don't know what the hell dnd is lol
Drow also works well as a shadow monk, having access to a free casting of darkness, which I find quite useful.
