The Warlock’s invocations make them one of the most customizable 5e classes. Optimizing these abilities are paramount to creating a powerfully unique Warlock build.

Jumping is an important movement mechanism for any game and D&D is no different. As always, look before you leap.

Wild Shape is a versatile ability that can make your Druid effective in just about any situation. Whether you find yourself in a combat, stealth, exploration, or survival situation, there are ways to put Wild Shape to use. As we say in the business: “There’s a Wild Shape for that.”
