100% agree quite liked the demo, the camera during exploration is hard to use, isn't so bad during combat, really liked the use of light and terrain. (had no issues with targeting burning hands myself i think you just misclicked). Over all the UI is very friendly. Someone had mentioned...

another way to look at it is to imagine your character fighting with their sibling. don't forget a round is only 6 seconds not really a long time. throw someone to the ground and 1-2 seconds are already gone. step on their chest, arm, crotch, neck and another 4-5 seconds. New round! they grab...

double post

The only class that gets both expertise and extra attack is Swords bard at lvl 6 which could fit nicely as it lets you keep your spell slot progression, although 6 levels is a bit rough when you are doing it almost exclusively for extra attack. although the bardic dice are nice for helping out...

i think just adding something like "[Y]ou take a bonus action on your turn to command it (the Iron Defender) to take one of the actions in its stat block or the Dash, Disengage, or Help action until you give it another command." would solve the TWF bonus action conflict.

i read your list, and told my wife, you know this is why i like gamers! she said "why? so i start read off the list then say, bow tie, bow tie, bow tie, bow tie and mini. much love.

I would change it to hexblade 1 Shadow Sorcerer 4 Brute 15, this gives you very similar dpr (2 less dmg on crit) and same 6 feats, only slightly less hps (4d6 vs 2d8+2d10), you get metamagic options for some versatility or to stretch Hex utility (eg cast it on 2 instead of 1, or extend duration...

granted they are different goals, but in your equation of 100% hit it is clear that anyone using GWM will do the most damage as they have a Free flat 10 damage. if you are truly looking for what is the biggest hit that can happen then you should be looking at maximized dice as well not average...

I would assume that your ideal is that the max dpr and max defense character be the same character.meaning you need to choose between armor mastery and gwm/polearm ie when you have your fighter war cleric etc their with avg dpr of 22 and their ac is 1 lower due to no medium armor mastery or else...

unless you plan to bump your charisma you are probably better off with point buy. 17 8 14 14 12 9 and take a half feat like dragon hide (xanthars -doesn't look like you have used your +1 book yet), or athlete. since with +0 or -1 cha you shouldn't be talking to people anyways. or if you do plan...

although it is UA and seems mearls is scraping everything that was previously put out, the mystic (immortal) would be a good multiclass. upto 5 temp hps/turn with no action on your part and only a small dip needed. with the resistance results in a reduction of upto 13dmg/turn. Mystic also adds...

you could do a jumpy version: a tabaxi, monk 4 (pick your favorite subclass), Thief 3, Champion 7 (dueling style), Totem Barb 6 (spirit tiger, aspect bear), for maximum oomph. Belt of storm giant strength, boots of striding and springing, ring of jumping. Transmutation stone (10ft speed), potion...

the lucky feat, 2 level dip in wizard (diviner) (doesn't work if you are set on front-lining as a paladin to give the aura) would give you 2 dice where you know the result beforehand (good rolls for saves, bad rolls to force bbeg to fail/use legendary action) and 3 dice for advantage/super...

i like this however you are wrong about your alternate idea, it adds more damage not less. 1d4 average is 2.5 so if you land 1 attack/round it will do 25% less damage on average, if you land 2 attacks it will do 60% more damage on average and Always at least equal any more attacks and it is...

ya Strength OR dex, not Strength and Dex, therefore if you are going to attack with your finesse weapon and want to gain the rage benefit you need to use your strength. so example character using standard array . 13st+1 15dex+1 14con 8int 12wis 10cha. means you have +3+3 using dex, or +2+4...

Another point is that the +2dmg from barbarian doesn't apply to a finesse weapon, only to weapons that use strength so you will be taking a dip basically for resistance 2 minutes a day also given that you need str or dex for figher and Str for barb you are probably better served just doing a...

personally I wouldn't go past 6 paladin or 7 if you want the class feature (vengence is good for mobility if you get AoA) and go to 5 fighter for 2nd attack then do your paladin before going back and finishing up fighter.

I would counter that since you only have 1 reaction you are only holding 1 baddie at bay. Therefore your greatest method of restraint is to be within 5 feet, providing disadvantage forcing the baddies to attack you. if they are attacking you they are not attacking your friends. if they are...
