You get a set amount of gold every time you level up, increasing every tier. You can still copy spells, but you'll have to budget for it carefully.

My 18th level Warlock uses Glibness (8th level spell) when she wants to ensure success on her Charisma checks. Only once a day, but it lasts an hour and isn't a concentration spell.

Being Yaun Ti Being a Gnome (for Wisdom, Intelligence, and Charisma saves only) Having an Imp or Pseudo dragon with a familiar contract (not from the Warlock Pact of the Chain) Having Foresight cast on you (9th level wizard spell) Having Circle of Power cast on you (5th Level Paladin spell)...

I've seen a stick used more effectively than either of those spells. This tells me all cantrips are useless and you should just use sticks.

I use blade ward all the time on when playing a Blade Pact Warlock - mainly to make Armor of Agathys last longer, or for situations where you expect to be in a fight very soon. If you can manage to cast it just before initiative is rolled it's perfect. Usually this means casting it just before...

Most homicides don't have 4-6 other people standing around ready to attack you after you drop one person. Most homicides are 1-on-1 and the "stabbed 20+ times" generally means someone raged out on a person they had personal issues with. But yeah, if a gnoll or a troll catches someone alone...

Knowing it exists and assuming that these strangers you have just encountered and are currently fighting will have this expensive healing magic that is out of the range of most people and start double-tapping anyone who goes down...seems a bit of a stretch for most monsters. Goblins, orcs...

These two statements seem contradictory to me. "Healing is fairly normal, but too expensive for most people." - that means it's not normal for most people. For most people healing potions are like an emergency room - yes it exists, but not something everyone has easily available. PC's...

How many people and creatures in the campaign world have access to the same healing abilities as the PC's? In most settings the PC's are very much the exception, most creatures don't have such ready access to potions, healing spells, and other in-combat healing abilities (or really most of...

Yes, the "Infernal Rager" is one variant of the tank-lock I haven't done yet, but I've been meaning too. Maybe soon. :)

Depends on the character. Some are human and get great weapon master by lvl 5, then increase Str. Others wait until level 9 if they are a different race. As I said, I've played several different versions of the tank-lock. Doing enough damage to be a threat hasn't been a problem - this...

I haven't really found that to be a problem. My tank-locks are usually using a greatsword or halberd with a great weapon master. :)

I really enjoy playing "tank-locks". I've play 4 or 5 variants on them by now. They do require more micromanagement than a regular fighter as you juggle defensive tactics (Armor of Agathys and Blade Ward) and offensive tactics (Hex, action surge, etc.), but you can absorb an amazing amount...

Per the Temp HP rules in the PHB, temp HP never stack. When you get new ones, you have to decide if you want to keep your current Temp HP, or replace them with the new Temp HP. If you replace the Temp HP from Armor of Agathys with those from another source, the spell ends. If you want to...

Is this an Adventure League character? If it is, there are certain options you can pursue (if you have the patient to wait a few levels) that will let you do it as a single class sorcerer. If this is a character in a private campaign, it would take some cooperation from the DM instead. :)

Since they are all starting within 50'-60' feet of each other, I don't think winning initiative will help. That just means you are going to be the first to be counterspelled (range: 60'). Assuming they are all in a big ring, even moving 30' back will probably still leave the mage in...

I'd probably require them to take a custom feat in order to allow the charisma rage and reckless charisma (thus requiring them to take at least 4 levels in one of the classes before multi-classing). Charismatic Rager - Requirements: Ability to Rage or Pact magic. Benefit: When When using...

Use a quarterstaff, take Polearm Master and Warcaster - you can hit them with Booming Blade when they close with you, then again on your turn. If you can force them away from you as part of the attack, even better. A single level of Hexblade warlock, or 3 levels of warlock to get the pact...

He's not blasting like a grand master. A grand master would be throwing fireballs or meteor swarms. He's throwing the most basic of spells, with a standard level of proficiency.

Yup. But he likely doesn't have a very high intelligence, so the attack bonus won't be that great. And he should do much more damage with his three weapon attacks.
