That IS a genius idea. You should definitely homebrew it... ;) And in the end I went with a cleric dip to enhance the armour and healing ability of my wizard. (the party REALLY needed spellcasters in the end). Just made sure constitution was high and will probably take resilience when I get...

Whatever works! The gm is very impartial so some of the open world hex stuff in tomb is lethal. What killed me was a CR 9 clay golem appearing and insta-gibbing me ;) was in there book apparently so all fair. My reaction is ‘damn - there is no room for weird to builds in this adventure then’

Apparently in the Tomb of Annihilation module. Our GM is very even handed about this - if it's in the book, it can attack us. In this case it was something hidden in an unmarked grave... I'd been left to look after an old woman while the party scouted. I looked across a field, it appeared...

I did consider a life cleric but my last encounter made me reconsider it. The problem with any cleric in Tomb is a) all resurrection spells have failed and b) healing wastes a turn. It's reactive and the game favours reducing incoming damage instead of dealing with it after. I think. In the...

^^ Well - I was right. Hit by a kind of one shot mechanic that did over double my health in 2 strikes before i could react. So yes... time to reroll. I'll have a look a melee based casters so I can stand in the thick of it, but also wonder what caster build has the most... survivability. Tomb...

I'm honestly not sure ;) I had a fantastic concept for a barbarian but we suddenly got one this morning as a new player joined. I was going to be a very short northern tabaxi based on the adorable but angry 'Pallas Cat'...

Playing 5e tomb of annihilation at the minute and I suspect my old character is about to be fertilizer (terrible situation, alone, being attacked by something far tougher). I'm rolling up a backup character for the inevitable 'I die' moment today. The rest of the party is horribly melee-ish...

Quick return to this. Ended up deciding to play a Warlock for 2 levels then switch to divine sorc (and start as a variant human with the Ritual caster: Wizard feat). From a healing point of view, is making the Warlock Patron Celestial worth it? Given it'd cap out at 3d6 healing and a cure...

Thanks for the suggestions and advice folks! Spoke to the GM and we're looking at a few ideas of classes. I suspect I'm going to make a 'cultist' style pc for pure flavour, someone who starts with tome warlock till level 3 for the full rituals (as I think I mentioned) and then some kind of...

Recently started playing in a new campaign with 4 other players. Oddly all of them went melee - 2 roses and 2 warriors leaving me as the only spellcaster. Ive spoken to my gm who was happy for me to choose a class that could bridge the wizard/cleric hole, but I’m at a bit of a loss which...
