def F style 1 AC fighter lv 1 + I believe these two are the same modifier and without counting both your total would be AC28. I missed the Battlesmiths Warding Bond with Tiny servant. That is clever. Tiny servent only has 10(4d4) hp so after you take 20 damage its gone, but it is still 1...

Fair point, but you make that point because it happens. Is it not better to attempt to avoid inviting the pain? There is almost always a new player or an old player playing a new class at any given table. Expectations created by players not reading and understanding the class (example hexblades...

That's not different context... that's exactly what I am saying. In the context I am saying it in. Oo _ Something like "Power Emissary" or...

The thing is "background" implies its in the past and "Inspiring Leader" may initially feel like it grants a leadership but players read it and realize its just a speech that inspires for a bonus. Classes and Sub classes carry different weight. For example, even experienced players who have not...

… You have been saying the same thing as me.... Anything named so that it sounds like a leader will taken as a granting a leadership roll to the player despite the intent of the class / subclass.

No, it means I object to the principal of naming any class or subclass under the scope of leader. I get 4e leader and healer... bla bla. The problem I have is the leadership association by a single players choice. The stated goal is to continue a skill set and all the names listed are "Leader"...

That maybe, but that does change player expectations of "I picked leader, so I am in charge." I have not seen that to be the case. Usually, one player steps forward the call for votes and brings players back on mission point from tangents outside the GM. That's my experience at any rate. It...

Personally, “Leader” is not a class, background, or character choice, its a player job which means no matter how you build your character you don't get to lead the party unless the party agrees to it. Trying to force the position on your party buy selecting a class or background results in...

Haste Spell: "That action can be used only to take the Attack (one weapon attack only), Dash, Disengage, Hide, or Use an Object action. " - It would have to be the attack or use object action for haste. SSI: "While holding the object, a creature can take an action to produce the spell’s effect...

Ah, not just scrolls but anything that requires an action to activate (which Spell-Storing Item does). You also can't use the action from Haste to dodge so you can't reverse standard for attack and haste for dodge. hmm... but you could still dodge and be pretty unkillable. lol

Oh, yes that is correct just like using scrolls. The limit is the limit on spell storing which is one 1st or 2nd level spell that you can use a number of time equal to your intelligence modifier x2. So you could put scorching ray or shatter in it as an artillerist and shoot it for 10 rounds with...

Using dodge would be another way to combine haste and enemy disadvantage an it is character controlled to its better than putting out a light. As far as "SSI" I am not sure what you mean by that. It likely obvious but its late here and my mind is not connecting the dots.

This is true but you can't stack disadvantage with disadvantage. You can stack disadvantage with shield of faith or Haste, also mirror image and blink Though I am not sure how to translate them into AC values. If you character is in darkness (aka unseen) attacking an opponents who is standing...

You never know what your going to fight, so you go with the highest. +19 to hit is the highest I can find +20 for the roll 39AC to only hit with natural 20s. So anything 40 or higher is pointless but less than that could still be useful.

Challenge Excepted, but to be clear my main post fits all those requirements because the artificers "magic items" actually are not. If they artificer dies they fade away because they are part of its class features not actual items, the feature refers to them as "prototype magic items". Banning...

Banning Artificer and Warforged you can still get way higher than I expected, though less reliable base due to how the Hunters ability activates. Forge Cleric 6 | Hunter Ranger 7 | Sorcerer or Wizard 1 | Total character level 14 Plate (18) shield (+2) = 20 Forge Cleric lvl6: shield of faith...

Thats fair, I was using someone else's example and my well have copied there mistake. If you reduce it ti AC56 and change the +2AC from the staff of power out for a ring of protection or Ioun stone of protection it fixes that. Then I suppose their math was off by one and you unless I missed...

Its massive cheese, but ... getting 9 manuals or time traveling with 2 at least 5 times. The DMG hard locks abilities at 30 or less. So ... Barbarian Unarmored combat 10 + 10 Con bonus + 10 Dex Bonus = AC30 +3 Shield (total +5) = AC35 +1 cloak of protection. +3 Defender Sword (legendary), =...

The Level 1 Blessing of the Forge is non-magic items and so does not stack with Infuse Item lvl 10: Enhanced Defense +2 (armor) or Infuse Item lvl 6: Repulsion Shield +1 AC , which both do more. The Soul of the Forge bonus at level 6 does stack but the 6 level requirements means not...
