A double Wizard party would be extremely weak to Anti-magic field or Silence plus an effect to stop you moving (grapple, entangle), but it would be pretty mean of your DM do throw that kind of thing at a party of 2 wizards.

One of the most popular one level dips is taking a single level of Warlock (Hexblade) on a Paladin build, which allows you to make weapon attacks with your Charisma, solving some of the class' usual issues with MAD, and giving them some strong Warlock abilities, and scaling ranged cantrip, and...

If we're running a two-person party, optimizing saving throws is even more important than in larger parties, since any effect that disables one person removes 50% of the party from the fight. To combat this, I present the double Paladin party. With a party of only two, we can easily stay within...

Whoops, you're absolutely correct. I was hung up on it being a melee attack and forgot it specified weapon as well. This doesn't change the spell's rating, but I'll update the description.

Where do you plan to go from here? I hope this isn't the end, I'll miss these.

I'd really like to see more specialized subclasses, or subclasses that encourage you to play the class very differently. The best example I can think of is the Paladin Oath of Redemption, but also things like the Druid Circle of spores, or the Bladesinger Wizard. There are plenty of options...

What would you recommend I take then?

I'm going to be rolling a Bard for my next character, and since we're starting at level 11, I already have the choice of two magical secrets (I'm planning on taking the college of Glamour, and am dipping one level in Cleric for Heavy Armor). I really don't want to use both of my secrets on blast...

The one thing I can think of which could take advantage of this is the Barbarian Path of the Berserker, which gives you a bonus action attack every round during rage but makes you exhausted afterwards, unfortunately that's incompatible with Zealot. The other option, assuming this hasn't been...

At CR 1/8, you have the mighty Pony, with 11 HP, and a melee attack with +4 to hit that deals 2d4+2 damage. Against level 1 PCs, a group of ponies is a real threat.

Presumably spinning a pike around to poke someone with the back end would be pretty difficult, but you could say the same thing about a halberd or a spear, so idk why pikes don't work. Poor storm of vengeance, it's so cool but so awful.

Oooh, I see.

New PHB errata came out, here are some important changes to be aware of: -Paladin divine Smite will now deal 6d8 radiant damage when used with a level 4 or 5 spell slot against a fiend or undead. -Starting at level 6, Ranger beast companion attacks now count as magical for the purposes of...

I'm surprised you can managed to find three overrated and underrated spells on this list, but I agree with your picks I'm also surprised horrid wilting didn't make the list. There are a LOT of bad 8th level spells.

You're probably right, Mantle of Inspiration does seem fitting for a Warlord. I took the College of Blades mostly for the Extra Attack, but since we have access to Booming Blade we could use that instead for our melee damage needs.

The Warlord seems to be a popular suggestion for homebrews, and as a personal fan of the concept, I thought I'd have a go at trying to make my own. Since I'm never allowed to use homebrew in any of my games though, this will instead be an attempt to piece the Warlord's abilities together from...

The new Order cleric looks extremely strong, not just as a domain for a straight cleric but as an excellent one-level dip. Adding a reaction attack to any of your spells which target an ally will really help to improve party damage, especially if you're supporting a Rogue. The effect works with...

Honestly, I was really disappointed by the lack of new subclasses. I think the circle of Spores druid is a slam dunk from a thematic perspective and fills a hole that wasn't filled before, though the Order Cleric domain feels less fresh thematically. I was really hoping we'd get at least one...

At level 11, the warlock gets something called a Mystic Arcanum. This arcanum is a 6th level spell that you can cast once and recharges on a long rest. You get 7th level arcanum at Warlock level 13, and so on. The reason the Arcanum work this way is because the level 6-9 spell slots aren't...

If you were going to spend a feat on it though, why not just take Polearm Master? You lose 1 point of AC, but do more damage and get a reaction attack whenever someone enters your reach.
