    D&D 5E (2014) Best Blaster Cantrip

    If your dex is as high as your casting stat, and you are a college of Valor Bard or a Paladin, take Crossbow Expert instead of magic initiate. Everyone knows crossbows are the best attack cantrip. Especially on Valor Bards. Crossbow Expert also removes the disadvantage from using ranged...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best Blaster Cantrip

    Depends what your spellcasting stat is. You need charisma for the attack roll of Eldritch blast. If you don't have any +damage on specific cantrip abilities or Hex, The answer is probably Create Bonfire, it's on every full caster list besides Bard and Cleric. If you had 6 levels of Tempest...

    Buffing the party

    A party can have 2 bards, the College of Valor plays very differently from the others. Barbarian of the Wolf spirit, gives out advantage on melee attacks against enemies around you. The player that makes the most attacks (The Monk) will get the most use out of free advantage. The Paladin will...

    Druid Optimization request

    Just typical caster stuff. 1 level of Life Domain cleric gives you super goodberries. There are 2 feats that will help you maintain concentration on spells. The Healer feat is really good for keeping your party up. Observant boosts your already high passive perception checks and lets a Human...

    Buffing the party

    If you play a Bard, you could frequently give inspiration to the monk, and you would have full spellcasting. The Valor Bard can be just as good at ranged as the Ranger. Gaining the best Ranger spells at level 10 instead of 14. An Abjuration Wizard uses reactions to absorb damage directed at...

    Death Cleric Build

    Don't worry about capstones, no printed campaign makes it to level 20 anyway. If you don't mind not learning higher level spells, you can take 5 levels of ranger, you have the stats for it, and your spell slots will still be decent. And you learn Ranger spells like Goodberry and Hunter's Mark...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5e DM Help] Keeping the lid on....what builds should I NOT allow?

    Nothing that breaks the mechanics of the game (besides some elf warlock sorcerer builds), but when a DM retunes encounters to challenge 1 optimized party member, the other players may feel useless. Say you have a Great Weapon Master Bear Totem/Champion in the party. between levels 5-10 he is...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Feat for Paladin Mount. Thoughts?

    Use Jolydee's Beasts of Battle on the DM's guild. You can use this for all the party's horses or non class-feature companions. The options range from simply 1 more hit die when the party levels up, to ASI and proficiency bonus. The Paladin's Warhorse can be pretty decent but it is a large...

    Hexblade/SpellBlade/Gish Blaster/Striker help building

    Drow works just fine with Pact of the Blade Warlock. Which was probably based on the Hexblade Warlocks from 4th. Fiend Patron fits with Kael'thas getting his Fel magics from the Burning Legion. Though if you want to be less evil, Archfey Patron. Bladesong Wizard is an option, but High Elf...

    And where is the errata that says Multiclassing has additional rules for Bard features not mentioned in Chapter 6? The bard table does not show what spell slots you have available. You determine what spells you know and can prepare from the Spellcasting feature based on the Bard table, but...

    Divine Smite "...when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one paladin spell slot" Sage Advice says all of your spell slots are usable for Divine Smite, you can even use much higher level slots that what your paladin level would grant. Chapter 6 doesn't say anything...

    Separate class features. MS and AMS already break the rules. Warlock Invocations already break those rules. Racial traits already break those rules. Feats break those rules. The rules of the Spellcasting feature only describe the rules of the Spellcasting feature. They do not preclude you...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5e DM Help] Keeping the lid on....what builds should I NOT allow?

    Fey Warlock might fit with Oath of the Ancients. Fiend pact into Pally is just some bull that ignores all the Paladin Lore. You don't need levels of Paladin for a "made a deal with the devil to fight evil" backstory anyway.

    That's not unpossible.To qualify for all those Multiclasses you would need standard Human. (14, 14, 14, 13, 13, 13) Barbarian Unarmed Defense, Rage, Fighting Style - Dueling, Monk Martial Arts,Sneak Attack Using a Shortsword, you can rage and deal 2d6+6, and then in subsequent turns deal another...

    Magical Secrets lets you learn spells of a level you can cast, not of levels you know. EK 9, Bard 6 has 5th level spell slots. It is different from multiclassing rules.

    When any character with darkvision is in darkness, they will get the penalties to perception associated with dim light. People try to make use of darkvision while in darkness, by not carrying a light source so they can sneak up on monsters, but they run the risk of failing to notice traps when...
