Oh definitely, that dragonmark is awesome. And the bonus action teleport can mean that you get right to your main target in round 1, even if they’re behind enemy lines; and still have your action to spare. Pretty nifty. Also, in WGtE, warforged can make pretty amazing grapplers. The ability to...

oh man, that’s amazing. I wish I’d seen that. i really wonder what this guy’s IRL story is. What’s Carrel? The link isn’t working.

Gloomstalker is pretty great for rogues. Even just three levels, although yes L5 is a big breakpoint. Regarding advantage; if you go Arcane Trickster, taking Find Familiar and going with Owl can give you advantage much of the time. And then of course in endgame you get the feature that allows...

Hey OP, are you still around? If so, could you repost your latest Sorcerer King build (the one that just got removed on GitP)? I was halfway through reading it when the thread got removed. Or if you’d prefer to send by message that works too.

The extra +6 to hit is coming from the L20 proficiency bonus (+6). The extra +6 damage per bolt is coming from Hexblade's Curse, which gives you +damage equal to your proficiency bonus per hit.

Great point. By now--at least in the groups I frequent--everyone that's wanted to play through it pretty much has. I don't think anyone I know plans on buying it at this point. Hopefully the late timing is taken into consideration, if the sales are truly the main factor as to whether it'll be...

Elven accuracy is a half-feat. Fighters get ASIs at 4 and 6. So: Point buy 15 dex. Elf +2 dex for 17. L4 Elven Accuracy for dex 18. L6 Sharpshooter. Voila.

Now that Prodigy is a thing, I'm considering a grappling cleric as well. My thoughts: -Only three races can pick up Prodigy: Human, Half-Elf, and Half-Orc. They each bring some great benefits. Grapplers typically need to be very tanky, and Half-Orcs are very nice for tanking. Variant human can...

Can I ask, why Diviner? Is it just that Portent is that good? Seriously asking, never played one.

True. I’d miss the reach, but... Still a pretty good combo, and could always trade out for an actual polearm at times when reach is more important than AC. Thanks!

I’m struggling a bit with how to build a Cavalier; especially feat and weapon choices. Like trying to reconcile the fact that you are going to get attacked a lot, so you want a shield; but you also want reach to maximize the effectiveness of hold the line; and the L18 ability seems like a...

Seconding this. It can be an absolutely amazing item, especially for sorlocks. I used on mine up through Tier 4, only finally giving it up when I got a cloak of invisibility. With elven accuracy, it’s now an evem better item. The only drawback is close-quarters combat. If you’re doing a lot of...

Ok I may have found a fun one in XGE. Oath of Conquest paladin 7, hexblade 1, divine soul sorcerer x. Be a half-elf so you can take prodigy for athletics expertise, and (eventually) elven accuracy for attacks with superadvantage. The OoC aura means enemies Frightened in your aura have speed...

You know, on the typical warlock 2 / sorc x multiclass, I always thought Extended Armor of Agathys would be great; but there weren’t enough other things to use it on to justify taking it. Now there probably are. And heck, Extended upcast AofA combo’d with Extended upcast Aid is strong enough to...

100% agree. There are so many possibilities it boggles the mind. Someone clever really needs to sit down with the cleric spell list and go through one at a time, considering metamagic applications and combos. I’d attempt it myself if I had the time, though I’m sure I wouldn’t think of...
