Then War Caster would definitely be on the shortlist for taking at Level 4, even before boosting your stats. It lets you cast spells when you get opportunity attacks, which means you could cast Booming or Green-Flame Blade when they try to step out of your reach. Though Sentinel also means their...

The first thing that stands out at me is the odd-numbered Con and Int scores. You'll want to boost both of them to 14 fairly early on. I'd also strongly recommend the War Caster feat, so you can perform somatic components of spells while you're carrying a sword & shield. Your Int score will...

Think of the Disengage action as entering "Disengage Mode" for the rest of the turn. In "Disengage Mode", your movement does not provoke opportunity attacks(except when stuff like the Sentinel feat is involved, or a similar ability, of course). Normally Disengage requires using your Action, so...

Looks like you've got purely physical defense pretty well handled for right now, and your offense is probably fine. I'd probably go with one of ShogunAssassin's suggestions and shore up your other defenses. You've already got Con saves covered, Resilient(Wis) might be a good choice to help avoid...

I'm not sure an actual defined "weapon" can be conveniently reclassified as an "improvised weapon" in this way. Closest mention from Crawford I can find on it is here: http://www.sageadvice.eu/2015/10/27/tavern-brawler-weapon/, and if I'm reading it right, you wouldn't get the proficiency bonus...

Yeah, if someone claims they contacted Wizards and confirmed it was ok, I'd simply ask them to show the documentation of such contact, be it an email, tweet or whatever. If they're full of it, that'll shut them up pretty quick.

At-will Faerie Fire? Yes please :) Seems a bit strong though, maybe one free(i.e. no spell slot) casting per short rest? I'd also probably limit it to Archfey Patrons only for flavor. Maybe create a set of Patron-specific invocations, for balance.

If you wanna be a stickler, it doesn't strictly use Wis as the attack & damage stat, it says that your spellcasting stat becomes the stat used for attack & damage rolls. A Warlock who learns Shillelagh via Pact Of The Tome uses Charisma to cast it, not Wisdom. Something I'm very much looking...

If you don't want to belabor the issue that's totally up to you, though it's still confusing. Their behavior as you described it in your initial post made absolutely zero sense. Hopefully they won't do anything that odd again. If they do, I'd be tempted to press the virtual pause button for a...

Arcane Trickster sounds like it could be an interesting choice, my first thought was actually to try a Dex-based Barbarian with Magic Initiate to grab those SCAG cantrips if you like using them(and I don't blame you). You'd lose out on the Strength-focused abilities of Barbarian, but you'd make...

How often do Tome Warlocks choose to skip the Book Of Ancient Secrets invocation? I get that Bladelocks skipping Lifedrinker and Thirsting Blade probably almost never happens, but what about Tomelocks and their unique option? I suppose one could always hold off on it, and see how many spellbooks...

The story idea of a covert invasion, a la Body Snatchers, They Live, Marvel's "Secret Invasion" story arc, etc. is an often-used one for a reason, it's a lot of fun when done well. The key for a campaign like that it seems to me is the pacing, giving the party some adventures that are...

If you mean the Tough feat, someone in another thread made a compelling case why Con+2 is almost always a better choice. Tough gets you an extra 2 HP per level. Adding 2 to your Con score gets you an extra 1 HP per level, PLUS you heal an extra 1 HP per Hit Die when you spend them to heal on a...

Well, the DMG says that staff requires attunement by a Sorcerer, Warlock or Wizard. I'm assuming someone with at least 1 level in one of those classes counts. And you'd have to use the Spell Save DC from that class for the Staff's abilities. Thankfully, both Warlock and Sorcerer use Charisma...

Well the number of spells you can have prepared is based on your Charisma modifier and Paladin level. And being a tank is indeed a tricky balance. You have to be able to absorb damage, but you also have to be enough of a threat that the enemy can't simply ignore you and aim for the other members...

One of the guys in my PotA game is doing something like this with a Hill Dwarf right now, and it's been a fun character. He's only taken 1 level of Barbarian so far, since then he's been leveling up in Druid to get better Wild Shapes. We're at 6th level overall right now, once he gets the next...

I'm playing a couple of Archfey Warlocks right now in different campaigns, and while you can certainly play them as a sort of "dark paladin" type if you go Pact Of The Blade, you can absolutely play them as a regular ranged-attack caster. What you will find however is that you will have a more...

Wasn't meant as an insult or to look down on you, just saying that the process of character creation has always been a major component of D&D, if you're skipping over that to have someone hand you a fully built character, I believe you're missing out on a big part of what makes the game so...

I would start by reading the Paladin Guide posted in this forum here - http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?468742-GUIDE-Oathbound-The-Paladin-Guide It's got a good breakdown of the class, it's abilities/spells/etc. For the stats, you're going to be a melee fighter who also casts spells...

Much appreciated for the Warlock fix for a problem that I didn't even know was there, as I'm now playing Archfey Warlocks in two different campaigns, and am making use of your spellsheet generator(which is AWESOME, btw). :)
