So, when I first tried 5e D&D, I went straight for the Champion Archetype. I didn't know what I was doing at the time but I told myself that "I value my character" and I told myself to "go for it" as everyone else was "squishy" and I did. My character was knocked out so many times . . .
Sadly, the group I was playing with dispanded and soon ended up as the only Caster/Wizard in another group.
Since then, I have wanted to revist the Champion Archetype despite how much people tell me "the battlemaster is better" or "just play a Barbarian" but I'm not exactly sure as to what I should build for a Champion in regards to having it be more than a walking suit of armour that sometimes hurts things a bit more.
So I'd very much like to know as to what the different styles offer, like is being a mounted combatant good? Do you use two 1 handers or a two hander like a greatsword or a battle axe? Do you focus on leveling raw stats or do you have more feat focused builds? Do you make your champions dex based or strength based? etc.
So yeah, if you would be kind enough to share your thoughts. Thank You.
