    D&D 5E Best guide for running Tyranny of Dragons?

    Hello, I'm going to be running Hoard of the Dragon Queen and Rise of Tiamat for my group in a long-term campaign. I've looking at a lot of guides and I've read a lot of reviews to prepare, but I wonder if there's a definitive guide (a blog, a thread, something at DMs Guild, whatever) that is...

    D&D 5E How to War Cleric

    I've traditionally loved playing clerics; I like healing (such as it is in D&D) and support, and I like RPing religious types. That being said, cleric for me has always been a war-type cleric; warrior priests of Sigmar from Warhammer fantasy has always been my inspiration. To that end, I'm...

    D&D 5E Optimizing a bladesinger "tank"

    Thanks for the responses. Another thought: what if I went with an array of 8 17 14 16 10 8 and took resilient (dexterity)? That would still allow me to max intelligence and dexterity using 4 ASIs while leaving one open for another feat (war caster or lucky, I guess). Which proficiency is more...

    D&D 5E Optimizing a bladesinger "tank"

It's an unorthodox group :cool: The parameters are: a campaign starting at level 1 but likely to go into the upper levels, pure bladesinger wizard, point-buy with...

    D&D 5E Bladesinger tank!? Madness, or crazy like a fox?

    (My apologies if this is too soon! I picked up the SCAG from my FLGS, but I know that everyone doesn't have access to it yet.) So, here's the question: can a bladesinger serve as the party tank? I'm coming at this as someone who loves spellcasting ( and playing wizards in particular) but who...

    D&D 5E How do I eldritch knight?

    UnadvisedGoose445, that was quite helpful and exactly along the lines of what I was thinking. Thanks! ExploderWizard, I was being facetious. Yunru, I'm still thinking about the eventual balance that I'll want to strike between fighter and wizard. In any case, evocation won't be the path given...

    D&D 5E How do I eldritch knight?

    I love mage knight types. I know that the eldritch knight is something of a trap, but let's just assume that I want to spring the trap. I think what I'd like to do is to take some number of levels in fighter before multi-classing into wizard for a while. In terms of spells, I'd love to be able...
