Looking at playing in 15th level campaign that will progress through 20th level As it is my first high level campaign I am trying to get thoughts on a Conquest Paladin (6)/ College of Whispers Bard (14). This character will be helping hold the front line along side a barbarian, with other party...

I agree having fun is the first priority. Also, I do feel my PC is greatly diminished by the modification. Hence we are revisiting. Also, I like your suggestion.

Honestly it was no big deal... it was not character killing and the game was still fun. I was allowed to replay and choose other alternative options for my turn but I don't want my character hampered long term and hence we are revisiting the discussion.

Good Call out I would like to minimize the number of ASI/Feats lost.

I have not looked at the Grave Domain Cleric. That is a lot of damage. Personally I'll refrain from anything but targeted use of poison. If I were to start leaving a trail of bodies bloated with purple worm poison, I just imagine nasty consequences when it caught up to me: -- some equivalent...

I agree [Alert feat] +5 initiative [Gloomstarker] +10 MV round 1 [Gloomstarker] +1 ATT round 1 [Monk] Stunning Strike [Monk] Flurry of Blows [Assassin] Advantage vs CR who haven't taken a turn in the combat [Assassin] Alls hits on surprised CR = critical hit Make for some pretty interesting...

I am new to E5 and playing a Kensei Monk who just reached level 6. I am considering multi classing at 7th and have broken my progression up into 4 phases with phases 2 and 3 being interchangeable. Yes I have read that multi classing Monk is not the norm so I would like to get the thoughts of...
