Edit for clarification: This is D&D 3.5 So I was trying to get some clarification on a Supermount build. The basic layout being Strongheart Halfling, Paladin 5/Beast Master 1/(Wild Plains Outrider 1/Paladin 6)/Halfling Outrider 4 or 5. The variance would be if I meet pre-requisites for...

Thanks for the reply. The teleport stuff does sound like an issue. By "Lockdown" I was thinking about the different interactions of feats and stances the "Stand still" & "Knockdown" feat and the Crusader's "Thicket of Blades" For reference: Standstill - instead of an normal AoO you can forgo...

So once I get a consensus, I plan on starting a thread under optimization but for now, if starting a campaign where the primary enemy will be demons, is tripping a viable strategy? If not I would lean towards a charging build I guess. But lock down with tripping sounded like a lot of fun.

I am not entirely sure. I do not think the DM necessarily know as well. His last campaign (which this is a sequel to of sorts), went to 20. So this could go to 20, it also could only go to 12. I think it is dependent upon how we as players go about things. The party is following: Dwarf...

Thanks for the input. In the campaign I am finally playing the cavalier, I went the new UA Warforged and thus picked dueling for extra damage since I will essentially have the equivalent of +4 armor eventually. I rolled stats and started with an 18 in both STR and CON (rolled extremely well)...

Looking help on a charger build. DM seems good with giving me a Roc as a mount, toned down in size and stats (his idea). Starting stats are 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13. Thinking of Human (mostly just core are available with some exceptions). Barbarian 1 or 2 (Spirit Lion Totem & possibly wolf...

STR+2 Does get Str to 20. I rolled stats and rolled well. After Racial modifiers they are: S: 18 D: 14 C: 18 I: 12 W: 16 Ch: 14 I definitely plan on mounted combatant if it seems doable to consistently fight mounted. If it looks like over 80% of the fights are in areas a horse or other mount...

I was thinking Mobile, Shield Master and the lvl 15 Charging class feature would allow me to attempt to prone 2 enemies each round. Sentinel has a little synergy in that people would not be able to get away by taking the disengage action. The other effects are similar to other features of the...

So I expect the campaign to go to lvl 20. I also decided to take the defensive weapon. Curious as to what feats I should look to take. I already plan at some point to take Str+2, Con+2, and resilient Wis. It sounds like there maybe spell casters, so would taking Mage Slayer early be worth it? I...

Joining a campaign and playing a warforged cavalier. I am going to sword and board it up and took the dueling fighting style to up damage. At lvl 1 each character gets a legacy weapon that will grow as we level and unlock more abilities. They all require attunement. I am trying to determine out...

I was thinking of our Paladin who currently only ever uses spell slots for smite (might as well use his concentration on magic weapon right?). My concentration is less likely to break (due to being a ranged character), but that would also free me up to keep other debuffs active.

Yeah, good point. Instead of fly, then what would be a decent spell? Or am I stuck until later levels for better options? Also, am I correct in thinking Hold Person will increase damage for the party against a small group of bad guys, where as Hypnotic Pattern will help control a large group of...

Would it be worth it to take hypnotic pattern for AoE disable and then switch shield for shatter? Our light cleric already has fireball so I thought it may not be worth it. Also, any other lvl 3 spells worth taking from a utility stand point? I think eventually I may want magic circle to block...

The idea for reflavoring/texturing summon lesser demon is nice but I have a feeling my DM would say no. He is trying to stick to everything by the book (except warlock spell slot progression because he played a lvl 10 warlock once and felt limited). At lvl 6 I will have 3 slots and by lvl 10 I...

What kilpatds said, it is on the Hexblade expanded list. Also, I am thinking about dropping it for access to 2 level 3 spells since I am happy with my level 2 picks thus far. Any input on how to rate the level 3 spells listed against each other or situations where they would be useful (if not...
