Alert is also a very powerful feat (more powerful than 5e because in 5e initiative rolls are a d20). Going first means that you can cast your bard spells before the enemy has a chance to do anything, potentially robbing multiple enemies of their turns.

Be a swords bard, take sharpshooter at level 4, find two hand crossbows, and just pew-pew everything with 3 shots per turn (flourish allows to you to target the same target with your multi-attack, and you get an offhand attack for 3 attacks) that have +10 damage on each of them. And you get to enjoy all those nice bard spells and skills on top!
If you use an iPad Pro, the overcast layout is just stilly looking. I switched back to the Podcasts app. I heard he's working on updating the UI, and I'll try it again when it's redone.
My table loved this one. I had a player pick up potions randomly in the workshop and chug them. I told him that they were potions of True Polymorph and had him roll percentile dice. We looked up the page # for his die roll in the monster manual and said he transformed into whatever monster was on that page. It was tons of fun - he rolled a demi-lich!
Great post! This is from the tabletop community and deals with party composition along the same lines.
I'm running betas on everything, and it's all great over here. No crashes and the battery isn't bad either.
I kinda hope it's different than the beta. I really didn't care for this music nearly as much as DOS 2. Kinda overwrought sounding.
I use my iPad for running and playing my games, and while dnd beyond is thorough, it's information layout is just terrible. You can really tell that it was made for phones not tablets. And it's kinda lame that it doesn't pre-load its content, so you're waiting for a slow network while trying to access information that you told it already that you want (when you made your character).
I found Fight Club 5 on the app store, and it's a lot better in both layout and speed, but it also has a pretty high learning curve for someone that's new (you need to use XSLT to make your compendium due to copyright issues). It also won't automatically use the system dark/light mode theme - why do apps not support this? What year is it?
I'm still looking for my perfect app. I wish wizards would make one that's more native for tablets.
I didn't notice the game (nor 5e for that matter) having alignment choices.
I'm happy to see a list there Curse of Strahd isn't #1. Maybe it was my DM (he tried his best), but I thought it was just okay and nothing special.
So just get a terminal app lol. Try blink.
