The increase in Con grants you 2 more temp HP via Reckless Abandon (up to 7 per round if being reckless) along an additional 40 HP to your total and adds to your Con Save. The increase in STR grants you a better hit chance and more damage, probably more than you could gain from Battlemaster...

Many thanks for your efforts, guys!

Nice set of advices, but I had something more extensive in mind. Also something, which includes Land Druides, even if they seem to be less popular or maybe even not suitable for an "optimized" character.

Wow, now there currently is no Druid Guide available, not even an incomplete one.

As a matter of fact your post really inspired me. I still favor Enlarge, because with the increase in size you might be able to use grapple against huge creatures, and rogue only needs 1 lvl in order to acquire Expertise rather than 3 lvls of bard. Barbarian on the other hand would be a great...

While I really appreciate your feedback, changing my character or class is not what I had in mind. Of course barbarian was an appealing choice (with bear totem) and I also thought dipping 3 levels into. But the EK can't be this bad as a grappler either. I already got the Longstrider spell in...

I am currently playing a goliath fighter/eldritch knight in a D&D 5E campaign and I am aiming towards a grappler build. I am currently lvl 4 and enroute to lvl 8 EK in order to acquire the Enlarge/Reduce spell. After that I've planned to pick at least 1 lvl of rogue for expertise in athletics...

Personally I would try multiclassing. 12 fighter (EK)/8 mage will provide 6 ability score increases/feats total, 3 attacks per attack action, a decent Second Wind, War Magic (if you want to use damaging cantrips), Eldritch Strike, a Maximum spell lvl of 6 + Arcane Recovery for even more spells...

Dipping a couple of lvls into fighter might not hurt with any of the other options, because of Fighting Style (Archery), and Action Surge. +2 to hit on ranged attacks definately might come in handy. Fighters are proficient in constitution saves, which is very helpful on concentration spells like...

Then this phrase is misleading: "Enlarge/Reduce: ... It doesn't double your carrying capacity, unlike Enhance Ability, but it does increase your size category,...." This could somehow be misunderstood, letting people think that you get the increase in size, but for some reason your carring...

It is written in the guide that the Enhance Ability spell changes the carrying capacity, while Enlarge/Reduce is only supposed to change the size category, but not the carrying capacity. Now my question is, does the change in size not automatically change the carrying capacity as well, as it is...

The Tavern Brawler feat does make a shield usable as an improvised weapon. Does this cancel the Dueling feat, even if it is not used as weapon during a turn?

Would it not be better to go fighter first to gain access to heavy armor? That's AC 20 with the shield. Fire dragon's Element Affinity works on only one damage roll per spell. GFB has two seperate rolls, so you might have to choose, which one gets affected. Also as of errata you might not be...

Is it allowed to enter the square of a proned enemy? If I use my shield as an improvised weapon via Tavern Brawler can I bestow it with the eldritch knight's Weapon Bond.

Hi! I had an idea about creating an eldritch knight for a D&D (5E) campaign and I have a question regarding certain mechanics. I would endow him with Shield Master and Booming Blade. Now if he would be granted haste, either by himself or by a party member... 1. Is it possible to access the...

About that new Fighting Style "Tunnel Fighter" in Unearthed Arcana: Light, Dark, Underdark. Would this one in conjunction with the Polearm Master and Sentinel feats be as gold as it can possibly be? Or is there a catch?

Thank you for this very enlightening guide. It helped me quite a lot so far. Although I wonder if Heavy Armor Master is a bit underrated (at least for the eldritch knight) because of several reasons. First it is quite potent early on. It might fall back at higher levels, when magical or spell...
