So if I understand correctly, you enter an area that has connected rooms. First room has you roll initiative. You cast some long lasting buff and try to keep it up for 10 rounds as you move from one room to another. Once 10 rounds are up you are likely to have gone through 2-3 "encounters"...

Thank you for pointing me to this AOE thread. I read it and it is quite impressive. I would have ended up analyzing specific spells learned at specific levels and modeling expected damage and everything. You went with super generic, which is cool. I really like the viewpoint of "how many...

Can you elaborate on why Hypnotic Pattern is so highly recommended? I get that it doesn't allow for a save each round, but the "1 action to wake up" sounds like an easy way to have 1/2 the bad guys wake the other half up. Further, for being an AOE spell, requiring concentration puts it...

Ok, fair enough. I hadn't looked at the God build as one that focused on acting through allies to the point of skipping over damage-focused options, regardless of efreciency. Instead it stays dead set on messing with enemy plans and enabling allies. I had incorrectly applied the God term to the...

You're right. The scripts I laid out above focus on 1 encounter nova. I failed to address the 6-8 encounters per day. All warlock dips will rise over traditional casters due to having 6-16 extra 1-2nd level spells depending on their warlock commitment. The Bard/Wizard/Sorcerer at level 6 will...

As I've listened to his Youtube videos he mentions that the Dodge action is sometimes the best thing you can do. Why? Because his concentrated spells are so important to keep up and damage is not a goal. I say that you can have your cake and eat it too. I saw the Quickened Eldritch Blast +...

Thank you for showing how Pushing strike, Precise strike and action surge could be used. But I was asking you to go through the math and show me that the expected damage would be better than the Riposte/Parry strategy I used. I don't think the Riposte/Parry fighter "sucks" compared with your...

Added background. I'd be happy to hear your feedback. I agree that the warlock dip messes with the vancian casting style of the other classes. Cha casting ability has too much power in it.

Fair point. I touched on the Yuan-ti race/mindset at the end, but didn't have enough time last night to get this extra stuff. I'll add a section for the flesh.

You have a fair argument that my 5th and 6th level plan for a round expends the daily resources to be that competitive. I agree that casting Hex a second time greatly reduces the damage output. This is why I put so much focus on getting a decent AC, Constitution saving throws, Magical...

Done. I added a section called Defend or Blast, pick one. I realize I failed to anticipate that people would get the impression that I was trying to fulfill both roles simultaneously. I added a note in the summary, and in the section dedicated to how the Sorlock defends, and their exclusivity...

I've added a section in the Level 5 details which show the fighter build and calculations. Thank you. I had some miscalculations before, which resulted in his KPR jumping a bit. This dropped the 83% down to 70% as damaging as the fighter. Still that is pretty respectable. See below for response...

The God wizard's Twin Sorlock Goal This build aims to be a god, akin to Treantmonk’s God wizard. However I'm shooting for ¾ striker, ¾ battlefield control, ¾ healer, ¾ Face, Batman. Also defender in a pinch. Short summary Yuan-Ti Divine Soul Sorcerer 18/Hexblade Warlock 2 Feats: Inspiring...

I am reusing the Google doc link that I had on the old WotC forum, namely https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1U41aaPW5C-RuTzUi0bzSKkub8wmQquOy-eawua4yR5I/edit?usp=drive_web As always it is open for anyone to edit, thus anyone can take over for me.

I got all done copying over the 150ish posts that make up the candidates. Each linked to my master spreadsheet google doc. Yay.
