Thanks. I appreciate the kind words. I felt there was something to this so am glad it resonated. Good call on the redundancy in language, definitely an opportunity to simplify. I had not been keeping close enough track of OneD&D so the Dazed condition is certainly interesting. I could see it...

I have wanted to try my hand at a homebrew monk subclass and would love some feedback. A few points of context: This subclass is intended to be more OP vs. other monk subclasses. I am not going for parity, I'm going for a viable monk from a DPR standpoint, particularly in T3/T4 gameplay. As...

I was thinking of perhaps rolling a Goliath Rune Knight, with a 3 level dip in Bloodhunter for Order of Lycan (reflavored as a sort of Giant's Rage). Is it me, or does this grouping work well together? It is true that some of the features overlap (e.g. advtantage in Strength checks/saves, damage...

Never used Creation. Will have to take a deeper look at that. I had considered Wall of Force along with Telekinesis. I supposed with all of the vast spells at the Wizard's and Cleric's disposal, I was trying to have unique flavor of my own. I had been considering even Conjure Woodland Beings...

I'm currently playing a level 9 Lore Bard /level 1 Divine Soul Sorcerer in a Princes of Apocalypse campaign (with homebrew that will take us to level 20). My party consists of a Vengeance Paladin, a Twilight Cleric, a Dragon Monk, an Artificer/War Mage, and a Scribes Wizard, so we are pretty...

I reached out to this community to help me narrow my choices, but still a bit stuck so coming back to finally help me get over the hump and settle. As background, starting a 1-20 DH/DoMM campaign so this build choice will be with me for quite some time. The current party, IMHO, will certainly...

I am starting a level 1-20 campaign and am very interested in this build, for its flexibility and flavor. I view it a bit like a Black Panther sort of build, combining stealth, strength, natural weapons, and reactive resistance. We are all starting with a feat. The idea is a Beast Barbarian...

I'm planning for a 1-20 campaign and wanted to try my hand at Paladin (Standard Point Buy). The party is most likely a Ranger, Wildfire Druid, Rune Knight, Rogue, and Wizard/Artificer, so a healing/tanky PC is probably a good idea. The DM is permitting a starting feat for everyone, so it got my...

I think that's the thing that excites me the most. It works quite well with my current story arc. If anything, that was the reason I decided to do it in the first place, but didn't want to make myself a weak PC just for the sake of story. But it sounds like that would not be the case.

Without asking for spoilers, I think my concerns that initial caused me to consider MCing into Warlock twofold 1) To just the "safety" of a free/low resource damage spell for when I run out of spells (or conversely, allowing me to more aggressively use my spells without fear of being rendered...

But you think a 1 level dip + eldritch adept is good enough or would I need 2 levels of warlock?

I actually think some of it was for backstory flavor. It is a pretty heavy RP group and the Undead subclass would fit PERFECTLY with the character's story arc. From a gameplay standpoint, I think the idea of a free/small resource dmg spell sounds appealing, especially since much of my spells are...

I'm in a Strahd/Homebrew campaign that goes to level 20. I am currently playing as an Aberrant Mind Sorcerer and overall having fun, however, was very tempted to MC into Warlock. Rather than take the traditional Hexblade route, I was looking at Undead as a potential subclass. I know that will...

Hey everyone, I'm playing a CoS campaign for the first time and decided to roll an Aberrant Mind Sorcerer. I love the flavor of the subclass but am really struggling with what to keep on my Psionic Spell List. I am entering an existing group at level 6 as the primary arcane spellcaster...

I posted a bit ago about going Aberrant Mind or Chronurgy Wizard for a modified CoS campaign that the DM will take to level 20 with the heavy addition of Homebrew content. I opted for Aberrant Mind Sorcerer (thanks for the help deciding everyone!) As part of this change, he is allowing everyone...

Super helpful, jgsudgen! I think if I'm being honest with myself, the Aberrant Mind just sounds cool and is where I am leaning, but perhaps am overthinking and talking myself out of it. Assuming I go with AM Sorc., I like your spell list, although I wonder if I should keep Calm Emotions. In...

Great question. I believe that he will, although I admittedly should probably confirm. So for the sake of this discussion, lets say yes. Also, as a side note, he is allowing all of us to start with a feat. So that made taking Half-Elf very appealing, or perhaps still take Variant Human and start...

Hey everyone, I am relatively new to D&D so am hoping to get some tips and pointers that my help me make a good choice for my upcoming campaign. For background, I am starting a revised CoS/Homebrew campaign that will go through level 20 (for context, I don't even think Strahd is the only BBEG...

By "Amped Up", I mean that the usual CoS campaign goes to 10, while this one will take us to 20. The DM has added a TON of homebrew story arcs to the narrative, to the extent that I don't think that Strahd is even the only BBEG anymore. I have actually been leaning away from Paladin after...

I am joining an amped up Curse of Strahd/Homebrew campaign that will take PCs up to level 20. I have never played CoS before, and have only played a few campaigns in D&D in total, so don't have a ton of experience across classes. The current party composition is a Cleric (front line), Rogue...
