Should he not have access to Lightning Bolt or Call Lightning? What about his patented Strike the ground and knock everybody back and/or prone ability? I would definitely make him Chaotic Good. I like the Fighter/Barb/Paladin blend. I'd probably add improved critical in there. I think...

How would they do against Tiamat?

Orcus's 500hp undead is his most OP feature Pretty sure neither of them want a piece of my Halfing Frenzy Barb with a Light Hammer though lol

I agree that Illusionists and Enchanters are probably the most fun, and Abjurs and Diviners are probably the most "powerful" I'm not a big fan of 5e Wizards at lower levels. They are all obviously strong once you get around level 5 or so on. The Abjur in particular just seems like a beast...

I'd really like to do a Dragonborn or Fallen Aasimar Oath of Conquest Pally 7/Lore Bard 13 build. Dragon Fear and/or Menacing Feat. Maybe Shield Master if stats are rolled for. Expertise in Athletics and Intimidation. Smack enemies around and have them trembling at your feat. I like your...

I haven't seen a high level Abjur Wizard in action yet, but it seems like a really really powerful school at higher levels.

If I ever roll silly high stats I'm gonna play a Monk/Paladin

A purely ranged Paladin is weird, but doable. I'd go Fighter 6/Ancients Paladin 14 so you get your 4th level Paladin spell which most of them are great, but Find Greater Steed is best for you. Fighter 6/Paladin 14 gets you Cleansing Touch which is a good feature, and an extra 5hp for your Lay...

What level are you now? I'd take as many Paladin levels are you can.

Paladins have spells for a reason. Choose an Oath that has interesting spells to you and you will cast them. I've played a few Paladins and I think it's at least 50/50 spells to smites from what I've experienced. MAYBE 60/40 in favor of spells. If you have a Barb, Sentinel will be worth it. I...

Yes you would be fine with 18 Cha. I'd max Str for sure though. What is the rest of your party? That'll determine whether or not Sentinel is worth it. My favorite part of it is getting a relatively reliable reaction attack. If you have any other melee character, you just go fight beside him...

First of all I like your build. Heavy Armor Master is a great level 1 feat for a Paladin. I would probably stay a Str Pally too despite Dex being superior to Str in most ways. Maxing your attack stat is always a great idea, but it is a little boring if you know what I mean. If you didn't do it...

Glad to hear it, and I told you so! lol

With an odd Con, go Resilient all the way How are you liking your character?

I think Monk with a Quarterstaff would work best for you, but a Swashbuckler would be fun too. Check with your DM about letting you get Sneak damage with clubs or staffs first before considering Rogue. I know I would be willing to let you use two clubs reskinned as "sticks" as a Monk and allow...

Not allowing ASIs seriously hinders characters that rely on Dex for AC like Light Armor, Mage Armor, Natural Armor classes. I know it's not a total game breaker, but I think you'd see a lot more feats used to squeeze into Medium armor and Shield. There are still a lot of feats that are good on...

I also prefer PAM to GWM I think the 1st level of Fighter is unnecessary but understand it from a story perspective. I'm not sure a Fighter 1 has any more survivability than a Paladin 1 though.

Point buy or rolled stats? A Paladin/ Fighter Battle Master would be great. You'd get 2 Fighting Styles and would easily have an AC of 19. Which Pally Oath would you be interested in? I've been anxious to play Oath of Conquest. I think a Swashbuckler/Paladin build be a lot of fun too. You...

Tempest Cleric if you want to be really tough and not worry about being in melee. Draconic Lightning Sorcerer if you prefer to stay back at range and blast away. If you roll for stats and get good rolls, combine the two. I wouldn't attempt using point buy or standard array though.

While we are on the subject of it, I have actually taken the Dual Wielder feat twice. Once on my Str Fighter build that I specifically wanted to TWF with, and once on one of my Barbarians because I wanted him to use 2 Battleaxes. I was happy with it both times. I typically try to avoid the most...
