I will have a look at going to 5th level. That's always the debate with multi-classing... how many levels to go. Thieves are probably the only class that benefits more from having a single attack with advantage instead of taking two attacks due to sneak attack. Do I loose potential additional...

In the "Xanathar's Guide to Everything", there is a spell, "Zephyr Strike", that is tailor made for thieves. The spell characteristics are: Casting Time: 1 bonus action Range: Self Components: V Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute (10 combat rounds) - Your movement does not provoke...

Hadn't thought about the movement. The character is at 18th level. I could pick up 2 levels of monk to get 10 extra feet of movement. The basic tactic is to use Teleport to get above the target and use your wings to stay airborne while you cast anitmagic field. If the target sees you...

A couple of comments on your build. 1. I think the Eldritch Spear range should be 600' not 1200'. You are using Eldritch Spear to increase the spell range to 300' and then doubling it twice. As a DM, I would not let you double the range twice. There are lots of examples in the rules of this...

My friends and I used to take turns creating a mega-character that the rest of the group has to come up with ways to kill it. It was fun for a little while but it got redundant. The '20' on an attack roll is always a hit overrides everything else. The best way to stop some any mega-character...

The spell "Alter Self" lets you grow claws for fighting. Take any strength based build. Select "Extend Spell" as one of your two metamagic selections. Take 4 levels of sorcerer. Sorcerer 4th level gives you 3 2nd level spell slots for casting "Alter Self". Each casting last 1 hour...

If the DM is not keen on rolling on the Magic Surge table, then you should talk to him about changing your sorcerer to a draconic sorcerer. You have a lot of choices for your idea. Different combinations: 1. Rogue 14th/ sorcerer 6th level. This build uses spells to enhance their rogue...

I created this NPC for a campaign I am working on. Comments? The half-orc limped into the store and dropped the bloody, notched hand axe on the counter. "Fix axe, need tonight". The Halfling behind the counter smiled at the half-orc and engaged in friendly chatter with the barbarian as he...

This is really a question for DMs. Would you consider a kick an unarmed strike? If a character takes the Tavern Brawler feat, does their kick do 1-4 damage? The background for this question is a character carrying another injured character. If the character is attacked, can they use kicks to...

If you are using the True Strike/ damage spell technique, all of your attacks have advantage. Each turn you cast True Strike as your action spell and the quickened spell as the bonus spell. The first turn the quickened spell does not have advantage. Starting with your second turn, you cast...

Sorcerers can change the equation. A sorcerer can use quicken spell to cast the attack spell as a bonus action and cast True Strike as a cantrip. True strike gives you advantage on your attack roll on your next turn so its a two turn attack. You can set up a continuous attack plan where you...

I would look at the cleric domains to see if you can get a similar effect to what you are trying to do. If you want to cast any of the wizard spells, you will need to invest in Intelligence which may make your build MAD. If you go with a cleric multiclass, it uses the same attributes so no...

Play any class that you want. Sometimes, characters with "flaws" are more fun in the end. I played in a 3.5 campaign where the wizard character had a strength of 3. He started up with a low score and had a few misadventures. He could not carry much and he could barely lift his wands. He...

I am having some fun. I have several ideas for character builds and since I am DMing a game, I get to use them as a NPCs. This character is a Sorcerer Infiltrator. The purpose of the character is to go behind enemy lines and spy/ cause chaos. The character is not a maximum damage...
