[QUOTE="Joyful, post: 9223170, member: 7043982"] Hey everyone, I'm going to be playing in a Icewind dale campaign soon starting from level 1 - level 15, and I wanted to be a bladesinger since I've never played a wizard, before let alone a Gish style character before and needed some help making an optimized character! [B]Setting[/B] It's going to be Icewind dale (please no spoiler) so was thinking [B]Con Save Prof[/B] is a must ( Don't care for Cold Resistance ) [B]Level[/B] 1 - 15 [B]Base AS [/B]16, 16, 15, 14, 13, 10 [B]Race[/B] Custom Lineage is allowed ( I was thinking Shadar Kai maybe ) [B]Starting Feat[/B] is allowed [B]Backgrounds Feat[/B] are allowed (Lucky, Tough, etc) [B]Possible Party[/B] Moon Druid | Barb? | Cleric 1 / Fighter X [I]Dex based |[/I] Warlock | Me [B]Special Note:[/B] My DM allows for Shadowblade + BB/GFB Combo I definitely want to be a huge threat with Shadowblade + SCAGtrips as from what I've been told by DM Icewind dale is almost always dim light, but I keep seeing potential fall off of using Shadowblade. I was following a build from [URL='https://youtu.be/8g869Lju5Ws?si=12Ujf5Z6Btq-d1yw']d4: D&D Deep Dive[/URL] for my bladesinger but I feel like there can be a way more tailored version seeing how I can start with 2 or 3 really good feats and decent stats. To summarize the build from D&D Deep Dive with my modification of what I was going to go was: Would love to do insane damage as a melee wizard, and still do wizardry stuff it it calls for an still be versatile but I feel like there's so much you can do with 3 feats esp thinking about maybe feats like [B]Strike of the giant (fire) [/B]as I can't imagine many things in a frozen area will be resistant to fire or with [B]Strike of the giant (hill)[/B] the extra damage is nice plus a chance that eventually you knock something prone or use up a legendary save or something. Not sure what is possible / optimized but just throwing out things that could be interesting. Not really dead set on one thing or another and open to ideas that make a badass Blade Singer Gish. Excited to see how smart people use to optimize this! [/QUOTE]
