Feb. 9th, 2019 08:33 amWondering if my DnD character should pick up a longbow. It would give a much better extreme long range option than the shortbow. And should events arise in which the compact nature of the shortbow becomes important enough to prefer it, I've got a bag of holding that is far from full. I can easily switch between them and keep the extra out of the way.
Longsword is *almost* a consideration, but I'd lose sneak attack which is better with a +1 dagger or a shortsword than a longsword is. Like, a lot better, especially when offhands are considered. It would be better in a protracted one on one fight, but that's something I try to avoid.
Though, familiars can apparently use the help action in combat, which would let me sneak attack every round even without other allies nearby. Of course, familiars are fragile so there's a good chance I'd only get away with this a couple times before he gets smacked.
Hmm.
