Simply put: Extra attack. If you have it - you are considered having decent martial capability in my book. There are many other options to consider like availability of feats, range of weapons used and additional sources of damage. But if someone asks about an NPC or PC in my campaign: "How good...

Starting 8, 14,15,10,10,16 with Inspiring Leader, Medium Armor and Stealth proficiency. Maxing Charisma first, Then going for Resilient (Con) at lvl 12 (your proficiency bonus is high enough at that level so you can reap the benefits). Then maximising Con or Dex to your liking. You may also...

So at this point you have like what - 4 actions competing for your reaction? Opportunity attacks, warding flare, protection and shield master reaction - seems a bit excessive. You should definitely optimize your action economy. I'd suggest you speak to your DM and rebuild a character. Maybe...

I'd go for something like this in order to build a "true bladesinger": 15,14,13,14,10,10 High Elf with Spy Background (or a custom one with Stealth and Persuasion proficiency). Obviously you have to "waste" your first ASI on leveling Str and Con, but other than that it is a very versatile build...

I always thought that the advantage of versatile weapons is their binding ability (also hooking and somesuch). Why not: when you attack with a versatile weapon in one hand - you may perform a Grapple as a bonus action. When you attack with a versatile weapon in two hands - you may perform a...

Might I remind you of that masterpiece? http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?355974-Dragonlance-Legends-A-musical-In-Russian! Dragonlance based and all. Braved through a lot of copyright-related hardships. It really is possible.

Only if you have Mithril Heavy Armor. Your other option would be to take Medium Armor Master (to be a stealth tank).

Most fiends have a fireball or two in their repertoire.

After rebuild the character will rely mainly on his Trident of Warning (I call it 'Wakerife') Not only that. Paladins at large have the best mounts (ok so do those bards wannabe). Capable of fighting, intelligent and loyal to boot. The only problem is the survivability of the mount (if we...

Mostly impossible. 1) You can't take Spell Sniper at 1st level (neither can you take War Caster for that matter) as it requires you to have an ability to cast spells (AFAIR). 2) 'you can use your reaction to attack with BB everyine who enters your reach'. Nope...

Good find. Still I feel obliged to mention that this option is only solid for strength-based, non-reach paladins. Booming Blade may only be cast within 5 foot of a target - it becomes obsolete if you are a dedicated Lancer (Oath of the Ancients has good synergy with Mounted Combatant btw). And a...

Or simply Champion Fighter / Thef Rogue with Outlander Background. Simplest solutions are the best IMO.

Thank you all for the input. It really helps me out! Actually I'm using milstones system but still a great advice. I'll try to incorporate more reconnaissance missions into the game. Exactly my thought, thats why it is "difficult" not impossible. Great idea for a higher-level challenge...

I'm currently DMing a module with accelerated experience progression in a homebrew world. Premise is as follows - characters have fallen under a spell of a necromancer that causes them to age rapidly. As a side-effect they accumulate experience at a growing rate (and are expected to reach 20th...

Does not work that way: Booming Blade - range 5 ft. Lance has disadvantage if used upclose. Thus no advantage from mounted combatant. It is not about dps, it is about landing smites when you need that spike in damage, or landing smite spells when you need additional control.
