I know it is killing you folks to know, so here is what I rolled: Wood Elf Outlander Rogue 1, Monk 4, Ranger 3 Not min/maxed but was able to put together an interesting background that fits into the campaign. Basically a ranged Ninja assassin in training, from a secret Elven society dedicated...

when is stealth not your friend? :D

I'm not a "Gotta do High damage and kill things quickly" guy.. but OTOH and when the rest of the group is doing that it can be a bit disheartening if you aren't contributing what they feel is a good amount. I've played Bards before, in fact my "biggest" character ever played was a 2nd Edition...

I didn't realize this edition had armor above light with no penalty to stealth. The problem with playing for 30 years with a reading disability.. rules change, get garbled in your head and you can't understand the new ones, or you just don't look because you think you know them. I'm at +4 Dex...

Heavy and Medium armor are not your friend when stealthing.. and this character is built around stealth, which is why I thought Mage Armor might be a good idea. Your recommendation of Absorb Elements is an excellent idea though.. so I'll have to think about it.

well damn, no John Woo? well then I am leaning toward Longbow and Sharpshooter myself.. I'll be firing INTO melee, hopefully. Yeah I caught that Sneak attack being 2d6 sometime after my post. I had thought Blade Ward and True Strike, but the way True Strike reads I might have to give that one...

GM Shot down my Stormborn Air Genasi Sorcerer/Monk soooo.. I guess it will be the EK ranged with Longbow or Crossbow. I haven't decided on the race yet, so it depends.. Probably a Variant Human, since Feats are used in the campaign, so I can get Hex via Magic Initiate (plus cantrips from...

So which is better for a ranged EK, Crossbow or Longbow?

HAH! Great point (though I believe falling damage is 1d6 per 10' not d10)

Technically I only need Chr for Sorc.. the Dex and Con you suggest it a want for every character really.. a nice to have, but can make it with lower stats. The Monk idea I had to splash in was because the Sorc was going to be Stormborn Origin Genasi.. and the Way of the Elements would have given...

I had not considered a skill monkey because so far it really hasn't been required. Those numbers make it tempting for crossbow though. You missed that the Paladin is a corpse. he hasn't been very good at being the party face since he has been stuffed in a bag of holding rotting. Monk insists on...

OK here are the possible builds: Eldritch Knight (Variant Human?) Assassin (Not sure??) Stormborn Sorcerer (using the Sorcerous Origin: Storm from UA: Waterborn article) (Genasi maybe??) possible to multiclass the EK with the rogue Assassin, if it is worth it? Starting level = 8 stats as I...

I dig it.. very creative!

I am learning about the options for Archery and I am liking what I see.. once I nail down a class or classes I hope you guys come back to point me to the best race to go with it

Chaos reigns supreme with me, so that Wild Magic Sorc is a might bit tempting... also, the ranged assassin was an option I just learned while researching.. so I'll add it to my list of ideas. :Fist bump:
