Yeah I remember those days. I remember not being able to play a Rogue/Thief because of the Pally in the group. That was a long time ago though.

I see it everywhere on here, and I'm just curious. Is it just a running inside joke between long term members, or is there some kind of legit reason I'm unaware of? I've never really been a very big Paladin fan UNTIL 5e. I absolutely love the 5e Paladin.

Tempest Cleric! or any Paladin or Bard Those would fit in any party and make every party better.

Nothing good will come from pvp

I usually take into consideration what the party needs, but I won't let it completely dictate what I play. I do like to make my character last when necessary. I joined a group one time that was composed of all Dex based characters so I rolled up a Str character. Was having an all Dex group a...

It wasn't too long ago I DMed some newbies and it went well. 1st level was like a practice level where I would interject when necessary like if one of them was going to do something really stupid unknowingly, or if they got confused with what they could or couldn't do, I'd let them have a do...

Wow nice stats. That helps a lot not have to worry about ASIs so much. I would personally stick with Tome as it's most versatile IMO and you can still get a regular familiar with it. Having a super familiar is very nice, but I don't think it's worth an entire subclass selection as it has little...

As with any multi class scenario, figuring out how many classes in each to take and when to take them is the problem. Any Ancients Pally wants at least 7 levels to get that awesome aura, but when to take them? You have to ask these questions. 1. What level will you start at? Starting higher...

I completely agree with Hawk Diesel in that not every encounter is winnable, and fighting is not always the answer. Especially at low levels. Choose your fights wisely. Now about NPC spellcasters, I like using them, and to help keep the prep time down, I usually don't prepare a spell list for...

You think AOE DPR will be low? Have you ever played with a Tempest and/or Light Cleric? The Light Cleric will be Dex based so half the party will be stealthy, and the other half will be clanky. Isn't that at least almost normal for a party? Maybe 2/3 Dex, 1/3 Str on average. I'll throw them...

I'm open to suggestions! I thought it would be cool to put them up against an evil Empyrean as the BBEG but I think I'd have to start them much higher than level 5. I don't really have a favorite monster per say. I typically like using powerful NPCs as bosses. I also like throwing mass...

I like playing with high rolled stats, and I like playing with powerful magic items, but I would NEVER combine the two.

I think it's a little strong strong mechanically. Definitely not "interesting" or "exciting" though. I imagine an Elf GWM Barbarian has never been more popular.

For one thing, it seems you have chosen to be a Sword & Board Fighter which does not have a lot of feat support for added damage. You didn't even take the Dueling Fighting Style. Sentinel would be a good feat for you giving you a way to attack with your reaction. Shield Master can set you up to...

I wouldn't bother with Elemental Adept since you can toggle between Lightning an Thunder. Magic Initiate would be great for you. You could get two cantrips like Booming Blade, Lightning Lure, Thunderclap, Thorn Whip, or Shocking Grasp, and one 1st level spell like Find Familiar, Shield, or...

You must have a 14 Str or you would be using better armor right? You should have Plate by level 5 as long as your Str is 15. What is your Dex? You may be better off with Breastplate for more Stealth or Half Plate for +1 AC. I'd probably take Resilient (Con) before taking War Caster since you...

I'm sure the entire party will end up with an 8-12 in Int but with Guidance, Inspiration Dice, and Paladin Auras, I don't see it being an issue for them. I'm the kind of DM that's going to play to their strengths at times, but I'm also going to play to their weaknesses too. Playing to the...

I have some new info here. The beginning stat array will be a choice between 16, 15, 14, 12, 10, 8 or 15, 14, 14, 13, 12, 10 before racial bonuses. I let the group agree on a "reasonable" array and this is what they came up with. I don't have any problems with them. We almost always roll for...

I'm about to DM a one shot(actually will probably be a two parter) and the 6 players have schemed up party fully composed of my 3 favorite 5e classes. Paladin of the Ancients Paladin of Devotion Tempest Cleric Light Cleric Lore Bard Valor Bard A bunch of smart***es is what they are lol How...

lol yep 6d6 Solars ought to challenge your party pretty good I have been in a similar situation and I held the prisoner in an antimagic field/room so it was impossible to magically travel directly there. I like creating high level NPC's that I can adjust on the fly if needed. You can always...
