Currently playing a hexblade warlock (UA) / shadow sorcerer (UA) multiclass with subtle spell metamagic. His spell focus is a crystal inserted into his eye socket when his eye was ripped out at low level almost killing him. Social spells such as charm person or detect thoughts are child's play...

Hmm, that will give me some fodder to read up on. Thanks.

Hmm, so in relation to the original question, the protection fighter is the only one I can see who has such an action economy off the boot at level 1 (without the need for feats), in addition to the light cleric. There have been some great combinations mentioned, but not so many that start off...

I recently started playing a Tempus Cleric and I've been amazed at how much of a powerhouse he is when it comes to the issue of action economy. Currently at 4th level, he acts as the tank of the party (as nobody else seems to be willing to fill the position). In this role, he either casts a...

I'm playing a gnomish Diviner Wizard, whose 1st level was one level as a Knowledge Cleric. His background is a Sage, and he can read every written language in the PHB, has half-plate and a shield, and has the most amazing knowledge skills with expertise in two (Arcana & History). With spells...

Thanks for the feedback folks. Like the idea of mass communication, though the idea of multiple wizards filling the sky with messages over a city (the size of Greyhawk for example) sends shivers down my spine. Brrr...

I was reading "Professor Q's Guide to the Controller" recently, and was quite surprised to see that he rated Elemental Evil's 2nd level spell 'Skywrite' as one of the few gold options only available to a wizard or druid. The spell itself is a ritual which can be used to write a message in clouds...

Well, a breast plate doesn't affect stealth, and gives a +4 to AC. But the trade off is that you can only get +2 to AC for your dex, which is presumably high and something to consider. The Medium Armour Mastery feat allows half plate (if you can afford it) with +3 for dex and no disadvantage to...

Hmm, I'd nix Mage Armour because you already have access to medium (heavy if fighter taken at first level) armour as a fighter. Instead, my suggestion would be to get UA Elemental Evil's Absorb Elements. It is a reaction spell similar to shield, but against fire, lightning, acid, cold. An...

Over the past week or so, I have been creating a light cleric which will begin play next week. He is a Dwarven pyromaniac who worships Kossuth. It's been so much fun creating it, and I really look forward to playing him and exploiting his traits and weaknesses (namely: Sometimes I get so wrapped...

Is this even possible with Tides of Chaos? Is an initiative roll considered an ability check? Yet another who has registered here as a new user. Thanks for a fantastic guide Cognomen.
