I know it is killing you folks to know, so here is what I rolled: Wood Elf Outlander Rogue 1, Monk 4, Ranger 3 Not min/maxed but was able to put together an interesting background that fits into the campaign. Basically a ranged Ninja assassin in training, from a secret Elven society dedicated...

when is stealth not your friend? :D

I'm not a "Gotta do High damage and kill things quickly" guy.. but OTOH and when the rest of the group is doing that it can be a bit disheartening if you aren't contributing what they feel is a good amount. I've played Bards before, in fact my "biggest" character ever played was a 2nd Edition...

I didn't realize this edition had armor above light with no penalty to stealth. The problem with playing for 30 years with a reading disability.. rules change, get garbled in your head and you can't understand the new ones, or you just don't look because you think you know them. I'm at +4 Dex...

Heavy and Medium armor are not your friend when stealthing.. and this character is built around stealth, which is why I thought Mage Armor might be a good idea. Your recommendation of Absorb Elements is an excellent idea though.. so I'll have to think about it.

well damn, no John Woo? well then I am leaning toward Longbow and Sharpshooter myself.. I'll be firing INTO melee, hopefully. Yeah I caught that Sneak attack being 2d6 sometime after my post. I had thought Blade Ward and True Strike, but the way True Strike reads I might have to give that one...

GM Shot down my Stormborn Air Genasi Sorcerer/Monk soooo.. I guess it will be the EK ranged with Longbow or Crossbow. I haven't decided on the race yet, so it depends.. Probably a Variant Human, since Feats are used in the campaign, so I can get Hex via Magic Initiate (plus cantrips from...

So which is better for a ranged EK, Crossbow or Longbow?

HAH! Great point (though I believe falling damage is 1d6 per 10' not d10)

Technically I only need Chr for Sorc.. the Dex and Con you suggest it a want for every character really.. a nice to have, but can make it with lower stats. The Monk idea I had to splash in was because the Sorc was going to be Stormborn Origin Genasi.. and the Way of the Elements would have given...

I had not considered a skill monkey because so far it really hasn't been required. Those numbers make it tempting for crossbow though. You missed that the Paladin is a corpse. he hasn't been very good at being the party face since he has been stuffed in a bag of holding rotting. Monk insists on...

OK here are the possible builds: Eldritch Knight (Variant Human?) Assassin (Not sure??) Stormborn Sorcerer (using the Sorcerous Origin: Storm from UA: Waterborn article) (Genasi maybe??) possible to multiclass the EK with the rogue Assassin, if it is worth it? Starting level = 8 stats as I...

I dig it.. very creative!

I am learning about the options for Archery and I am liking what I see.. once I nail down a class or classes I hope you guys come back to point me to the best race to go with it

Chaos reigns supreme with me, so that Wild Magic Sorc is a might bit tempting... also, the ranged assassin was an option I just learned while researching.. so I'll add it to my list of ideas. :Fist bump:

I feel I should leave the Monk class to the current Monk.. though that is a tempting thought, and certainly Aarakocra as a race was tempting, the tendency to end up underground at major plot points might make that a difficult choice. Since I just had a Warlock leave the group, not sure I should...

Yep I was casting Eldritch Blast with two bolts (two attack rolls) at 1d10+5 Damage each. I was going into melee with my +2 maul with two attacks at 2d6+8 damage each instead. I agree they need the backline support.. I am nervous that I will not have the health/resources to last through a...

Yes the leaving Warlock was a Blade Pact one with a +2 Maul as his Pact weapon.. and he still had a 20 CHR (16 STR) Sorcerer is a possibility. Not sure how much chaos I might cause throwing all that AoE in with all the melee characters in the group.

Greetings fellow adventurers! This past weekend myself and another player had characters exit the group for RP reasons. The other player already knows what he wants to run next, but I am at a loss. The group: Elven Monk Warforged Fighter Aasimar Cleric of Tyr Dragonborn Paladin (Currently...
