We are totally ignoring racial bonuses. We are keeping racial traits. So as an example, I would incorporate the +2 Dex and +1 Int of an Eladrin, but I would use Fey Ancestry, Fey Step, etc.

I'd go Resilient: Con over Warcaster. Warcaster's two main attractions are opportunity attacks, and advantage on Concentration. The Concentration aspect, at this point, is less important than proficiency in Con saving throws. Resilient will help you in both, while Warcaster only helps with...

I haven't read the entire thread, so apologies if this has been mentioned already. Can you have the Inn Keeper drop one final hint about how to properly kill the BBEG? If they ignore it, then kill them all in the final fight. Better yet, have the players "defeat" him, only for them to go back...

Two campaigns. Same group. First was an Ancients Paladin, a Champion Fighter, and a Bear Barbarian. Paladin had to utilize his Lay on Hands every day, but it was enough to get us through our adventuring days together. Only once of twice across 7 levels did the Paladin have to actually cast a...

Alright. Hypothetically. Let's allow the Dwarf as a race. They're little, though still Medium (technically). Let's do a side by side run down of the numbers. Please, someone correct me if I screw up some math. Due to Reckless Attack, let's assume all attacks will hit, so we can compare max...

After. So we're essentially ignoring Racial stat bonuses, but keeping the other Racial bonuses (Elf's immunity to magical sleep, for example)

Going dual hammers or axes as a Halfling, with immunity to 1s and Champion to take advantage of Brutal Critical... Not bad. Plus Action Surge and Two-Weapon Style.

You've got the Gish part of the spells covered. What you're missing is the Wizard part. Where's the Fireball? Lightning Bolt? Let's look at outside of combat, too; Fly? Dispel Magic? Identify?

I love characters that are a square peg in a round hole. Something that goes against the grain, often comically so. So I'm thinking of a Gnome or a Halfling Barbarian. Not opposed to either, both have their merits. One is immune to rolling 1s, the other has advantage on spells targeting Int...

I thoroughly enjoy the Warlock, both in crunch and flavor. Working with my DM for a Variant spell list of the Undying Light patron, trying to sneak Spirit Guardians and Destructive Wave onto there. Hopefully he'll allow it.

I myself never thought of it that way. Damn you, Geometry!

A few questions : Do Mystic Arcanum spells count against your total number of Spells known? Is it just me, or is there a serious lack of blasty-AoE spells aside from Fiend Patron? Most spells on the Warlock list, while overall pretty good, lack any "Hit multiple targets with damage". The only...

Well, also factor in spells levels 6-9. Ranger stops at 5, obviously. While most spells of those levels don't do much for altering what you already do, like Swift Quiver, they insead allow access to alternative avenues ; Forcecage, for example, locks away an enemy for an hour. I'm curious about...

Right, you'd have to take Fighter 1 for Archery, and at that point you should stick around for Action Surge. That means Magical Secrets gets pushed off two levels, going from 10 to 12... Still absolutely possible, and IMO something to absolutely consider when making a "Ranger" character, but...

It's widely regarded that the Ranger is lackluster. It's also regarded, and somewhat the point, of the Bard to be able to slide into almost any role in the game, and do it effectively. So, can a Bard out-Ranger a Ranger? Valor Bard Expertise Can steal Ranger spells and use them sooner Full...

One thing I'm absolutely picking is Sunbeam later on, spammable Radiant from range is always good. Swift Quiver is good, but my Dex isn't anything special. Plus I'm Lore, I don't get a second attack. So it's not as good for me as it is for Valor. Likewise with any Smite spells. Aura of...

Dropping Hold Person, huh? That's bold. It's free crits. That's double the damage output for the Monk and Witcher, along with 20d6 damage from myself if I hit with a Scorching Ray at 5th level. Hmm... I thought it was untouchable. I'm not disregarding your advice, Mello, but it has thrown me...

My Dex & Str are nothing exciting, so Smite and Swift Quiver won't be much help. Raise Dead... Tempting. Very much so. Makes a lot of sense. But... Call me evil, I'm a firm believer in death should have consequences. I'm actually purposely trying to stay away from resurrection spells. Healing...

I've expertise in Deception, so even rolling an 8 results in a 19. Levels 4 and 8 were spent on getting Charisma to 20 and the Warcaster feat to maintain Concentration. I'm trying to work with the DM for an item that's grant me Advantage on Deception checks, but that's going to take a little...
