    D&D 5E [5E] Optimizing Circle of the Shepherd with a bonus feature from another class

    Thanks for the suggestions, agreed the choice is much easier for the martial classes. I think pact magic would be pushing it, I'll take a closer look at some of the newer invocations as well and see if they'd fit. Unfortunately the need to concentrate on summons would mean raging likely wouldn't...

    Any good demons or devils to summon?

    Some quick thoughts: -Summon Greater Demon seems like the most appealing, but I play in a party that gets easily annoyed by things like Wild Magic or summoning demons that could turn on us -Tanarukk (CR 5, VGtM) - hits hard and has -1 to its CHA save is nice, but Magic Resistance is a problem...

    D&D 5E [5E] Optimizing Circle of the Shepherd with a bonus feature from another class

    Yeah, our DM sprung this "world reset" at the end of our session and we're still kind of parsing what's kosher and what's not. Here's my interpretation: -Metamagic - I'd have to clear this with the DM, who I think would be OK with it, but on its face no good. Font of Magic (which provides SP)...

    D&D 5E The Grappler's Manual (2.0) - Grappling in 5th Edition

    I have a battlefield control-focused 6 Bard/6 Fighter that I have an option to give a +3 Scimitar or a Cube of Force to. I've been leaning towards the Cube for additional lockdown shenanigans, but it's been frustrating to go up against incorporeal creatures and the like without a decent magical...

    D&D 5E [5E] Optimizing Circle of the Shepherd with a bonus feature from another class

    Hi all, I'm currently playing in a homebrew campaign that's (mostly) using 5E rules. We've reached a point in the story where due to various circumstances we have the option of rerolling from scratch our 8th level characters. When rebuilding we have to follow the books (so no UA, but no +1...

    Fai Chen Season 7 - what did you get?

    I think you're referring to the mini-froghemoth? That's what our Fai Chen's had in addition to the sea otter. In addition to the Price on Your Head and Estates mentioned above there was also a Gambling Addiction, but I don't recall the exact effects, it was along the lines of roll at the start...

    D&D 4E Recreating the 4E shielding swordmage

    Thanks for the comments, I agree an extra attack would definitely address a lot of my concerns with using a class other than fighter. If the class makes it into Xanathar's hopefully we see some additional melee benefits. Good call on Compelled Duel, Mellored, I'd forgotten about that. Will...

    D&D 4E Recreating the 4E shielding swordmage

    I really enjoyed my genasi swordmage in 4E and for a largely 5E game with a few homebrew components I'm trying to recreate as many of the character beats as possible. I'm looking to fulfill the role of defender in the party, with the occasional opportunity for combat control tricks. We don't...

    D&D 5E [Merged] D&D Next/5E Release Schedule Threads

    What are the 5e damage rules for the invisible telephone pole the guy on the front of the DMG is about to swing with?
