So are you saying that you want to play as Kung Fu Panda?

One other option could go Paladin 12/Sorcerer 1 to get Absorb elements, Shield, plus some cantrips. I would still receive all the benefits of a full paladin, except the 4th level paladin spells (Death Ward & Find Greater Steed), but would still have the same number of spell slots. Does that one...

I'm starting a DiTA campaign at level 5 that will take us through level 13. I decided to play a Devotion Paladin but am debating three different builds and am having trouble deciding which is the best version. For context, the other party members consist of a Barbarian, Arcane Trickster Rogue...

I am currently about to embark on Descent into Avernus with a cool idea for a build. A Fighter (Echo Knight)/Wizard (Chronurgy) MC who bends and folds time to be effective in battle. From the EK perspective, he pulls versions of himself from other dimensions to aid in battle, but also calls upon...

I am about to start up a campaign that goes to level 13 and decided to spin up a multiclass that I thought was interesting and always wanted to try. An Echo Knight 6 / Chronurgy Wizard 7 MC. The idea is that the PC has an Acolyte background and is a disciple of Chronos, the Father of Time. He...

Yeah I think I am leaning that way myself, Quartz. Part of my indecisiveness is actually the feeling that by taking Counterspell & Revivify, I am selecting spells that, while HUGE when they are needed, are needed on very rare occasions. So for 10 levels (until my next MS), I am taking spells...

I always struggled with Plant Growth in its practical utility, but maybe I'm not thinking about it the right way. How have you used it successfully in combat? Out of combat? It always felt so niche for me. I have been thinking about maybe making my Bard's theme "manipulation". To me, that leads...

I think illusions/charms may be the most fertile ground. The Divination Wizard could cover that but as of now he hasn't completely gone that route. It actually fits with my backstory too (not the performance bard, more a spy/broker of information & deception). Any thoughts on some good ones in...

I am in a campaign at level 5 that is very combat intensive (I usually have run out of all spells and BIs well before combat even ends in a day). For this reason I actually dipped a single level in DS Sorcerer (Bard 4/DS Sorcerer 1) for this reason (for Shield, Firebolt/Mind Sliver dmg...

I'm itching to hit stuff and then shoot fireballs.

Great feedback, all. One thing I was mulling over, actually, was multiclassing Bladesinger 11/Echo Knight 4. The idea was to create an "Echosinger", who would fold space/time to change the outcome in battle. For flavor, I could use the Echos to fold space, creating duplicates of myself across...

This is really great advice. Thanks ECM03. If you are suggesting Warcaster instead of tough, then should that alter my whole progression? Right now I'm starting Fighter 1 to get the CON proficiency (instead of needing Warcaster or Res CON later). That essentially gave me two starting feats...

Hey everyone, I'm playing a Ghosts of Saltmarsh+ campaign (levels 1-15), and was thinking of an idea to play a gish-type player that bends space & time to aid in combat. So the thought was to use Echo Knight's Manifest Echo to create mirrors of themselves, which could be teleported back and...

Trust me, Bill Zebub, I was equally surprised myself that I rolled that well. Your example is usually my norm. That's partially why I'm such a basket case about this one... I don't know what to do with these high numbers; they seem so foreign to me :).

In a low level campaign (level 2, going through level 15) was lucky enough to roll a pretty great starting build (9 STR/ 16 DEX/ 16 CON/ 17 INT/ 13 WIS/ 11 CHA) BEFORE applying racial bonuses. I am currently a Divination Wizard, but to be honest am finding it a bit boring. Sure Portent is...

That's AMAZING. Great example of what I'm finding great about D&D, the flexibility of choice. Really makes you feel like you are immersed in the world and not on the rails of a well-told story.

I'm pretty new to playing D&D, but just had my first "Critical Role-ish" level of epic gameplay. It was fun as hell, but for us, completely born out of a decision so utterly idiotic and bereft of common sense, that the outcome had no business being as amazing as it was. So that got me thinking...

Hey everyone. First time playing Bard (College of Lore), so I've been leaning HEAVILY on this forum group for advice on build and playstyle. With that in mind, would love some feedback on my planned spell list. While I am only level 4 now, we expect to go to level 15 (maybe more but not...

Thanks for the help. I was worried that I was boxing myself in with GWM so you certainly confirmed it. I suppose it fits my desired playstyle so all is not lost, but it sounds like my "genius" Whisper Bard idea is a bit of a flop. That said, I always worried about taking Warlock high because...

A lot to think about, for sure. My initial intent was to go Greatsword or Glaive, since I have already committed to Variant (Human), GWM Feat at build (campaign is already level 2 so that ship has sailed). So I could do a spear (unless I am reading incorrectly, are your calculations above...
