In the PHB, there isn’t much choice of fighting style once you know what kind of weapon you’re wielding. If you’re using a one-handed weapon and a shield, you must pick dueling, as Great Weapon Fighting, Archery, and Two-weapon fighting don’t work as per the game rules. There’s always defense...

Note that the observant feat only boosts your passive investigation, so it won't apply to when you're making a conscious effort to investigate something. While YMMV, I don't often find my DM asking me for my passive investigation. Do you know who else will be in your party? If you've got a...

I see a few problems with this: -Healing Spirit uses up your concentration, and by the time you're level 9, there are far more impactful spells for you to be concentrating on. Like say, Animate Objects, which can create 200 HP worth of fighting spoons that also contribute to combat. -Healing...

IMO, the best feats in the game are the ones which give you a bonus action attack every round: Crossbow Expert and Polearm Master After those, Alert, Lucky, and Shield Master are all great for virtually any build. But I don't think discussing feats in a vacuum is very useful. There are a...

Samurai is a fighter archetype and thus incompatible with Champion. (Champion is the only way I know of to have permanent expanded crit range) I already am an assassin.

Eldritch blast has a verbal component, so I'm pretty sure casting it stops you from being hidden, even in the area of Darkness. Hexblade looks really good though, if only to not require an attack-caliber Dex. Also allows us to wield a Greatsword and use the -5 to hit for +10 to damage feature of...

Another option you could run is something like Rogue(3)/Fighter(2)/Warlock(2)/Sorcerer(X) and use Empowered Eldritch blast. Once you hit level 17, Eldritch blast attacks 4 times, with action surge and quicken spell you can cast it 3 times in one round, dealing 24d10+60 damage, not counting the...

Yeah, but I don't think it will get better than this. Since Elven Accuracy is a feat exclusive to a race that isn't variant human, and you pretty much require another feat to have always-on advantage, this will never come on earlier than level 8. It's not like this build is unplayable until...

Xanathar's guide to everything printed a feat for elves and half-elves called Elven Accuracy, which allows you to reroll one of the d20s you roll when you attack with advantage. If you have a way to attack with advantage every round as well as a way to crit on a roll of 19 or 20, your odds of...

Guidance is a cantrip available to Druids and Clerics that gives a single target +1d4 to the next skill check they make. The issue here is that since it's a cantrip, as long as you're not in combat, where using an action to cast this matters, there's no reason not to use it for EVERY single...

61. Run a campaign which assumes the players will take notes to understand what's going on and solve puzzles, but don't let them know until they run into the puzzle the were supposed to have taken notes for.

By my reading of Hound of Ill Omen, (the level 6 feature for shadow sorcerers) there's no limit to the number of hounds you can summon at once, and none of them require concentration. Of course this gets significantly worse at higher levels, but at level 6, burning 6 sorcery points over two...
