I’ve recently gone the other direction. One of my groups wants to play 1e and I try to have one ideal character species/class regardless of edition. Haven’t read much about 1e, but I think only humans can be magic-users without any level restriction. So the plan is for my ideal build to be human...

Boo. Hot lives matter.

Sorcerers like power (pg. 33). Pretty expensive. Plus, you would ideally want to Subtle Counterspell as well, so even more expensive, at least until level 20. And the baddie keeps their spell slot. And your reaction is spent. And you’re relatively close to the baddies. My bard will be cheering...

You can hurt their feelings with a nasty Sending.

Evereskan finger talk.

Take sorcerer levels 1-4 first. At sorcerer 4 take Eldritch Adept - Pact of the Tome with EB as one of the cantrips. EB will then count as a sorcerer spell and work with Innate Sorcery. It’s admittedly clunky.

I’d pitch my pre-generated rulings to the DM, which would be that the pre-gens are fake news and that a band of female elves who are totally into my non-pre-generated character come to his aid when needed, with “as needed” defined by my character.

This old thread: Is there anything stopping you from creating food and water with Prestidigitation? gets into creating food and water with Presty. For 5.5, I think one could make the RAW argument that Druidcraft could let you do something similar except the stuff created with Druidcraft could...

Does the sensory effect of Druidcraft last forever, short of a weird use of Wish? It’s instantaneous, so it can’t be dispelled and the caster can’t dismiss it. The food and water from Create Food and Water sticks around, but at least you can move it. The spectral dancing fairies would persist in...

Elementalism to protect demiplanes.

My sorcerer needs an 18 CON (or 14 CON plus Tough) to have at least 151 hit points by level 20 to not be susceptible to Power Word Stun. I also want him to have Musician, Lucky, Resilient, Mage Slayer (all four mostly for a buff to mental saves), and some sort of permanent telepathy, e.g...

Thanks Indagare for this thread as it made me reconsider my single class build. So I’m trading out a 5th, 6th, and 7th level slot, 3 prepared spells, an 18th level subclass ability, an epic boon feat, and a capstone for a much slower progression and a three level dip that raises my primary...

One can be a slave and be good, but one shouldn’t have to be a slave to be good.

No, I chose to be subservient to a dominating influence. I was not the originator nor a proponent of Moronville’s alignment definitions.

Per Google search: Slavery is “the state of being a slave.” Per MW, a slave is “someone or something that is completely subservient to a dominating person or influence.” I can choose to be subservient. I can then choose not to be. If a society thinks the most highly of slaves, one might enter...
