For a Sorcadin I'd recommend checking out this link: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?502673-Unlimited-Blade-Works-The-Guide-to-the-Ultimate-Paladin-Sorcerer-Multiclass It covers everything better than I could hope to do.

One additional note should be that Booming Blade/Green Flame blade scale in such a way that if you plan on using a Sword and Shield method, you don't miss out on much "standard attack" damage. Since cantrips scale with character level and not class level, when some classes get their 2nd attack...

It depends on how you want to lean honestly. The problem with Gish builds is that there is a HUGE sliding scale between martial and magical, and everyone has their own ides on where their "perfect gish" falls in that spectrum. For example, the most extreme Martial-Leaning Gish is best...

Well the key notes here are that his plan failed and the other players discovered him. This is a failure on the evil player's part, and you as the DM should not intervene to force the evil player's plot to succeed. My advice is to have the evil player roll a new character and the existing evil...

Like I mentioned previously, I am going with Paladin over Fighter because I thematically like the idea of a "Holy" Warrior that is being used by dark forces. Could Fighter work? Absolutely. I have another build (Fighter/Warlock) in that vein, but that is a different character with a different...

In previous editions this was covered by a Feat called Leadership. I had an Elven Spellsword in 3.5 that had an understudy via the Leadership Feat, and it was total cheese. She protected him with a Spike Chain and Improved Trip, knocking down anyone that got close to him while he freely cast...

Yeah, Oath of Conquest is one I was specifically looking at previously...they're even named as "Hellknights". I appreciate the suggestion, and it *sorta* fits on its own, but my vision for the character is a heavier focus on Warlock than Paladin. Paladin is mainly there thematically because he...

I'm not sure what you mean by your first question, but if it is in regards to why its taking so long to level then that is because of how we play. We meet weekly and play for about 2-3 Hours. We alternate campaigns with me running one and another guy running the one I play in, and some of his...

That is a good suggestion and one I have considered. A lot will depend on the party composition. If people bring more magic focus then I will lean to a Sword & Shield tank build, but if someone else wants to take that role then I can be melee damage support, or if no one is focusing on the magic...

Awesome! That DOES fit perfectly. Is that from the Curse of Strahd?

I am surprised at the amount of resentment for this idea. For a homebrew game, I like it. ToH is the type of game my players would never defeat. It would end the session with everyone being unhappy (not mad, but a total wipe in the first 30min of play is not fun). This would give a means for my...

The basic concept for this character is based on characters like Judge Dredd, Ghost Rider, Spawn, Punisher, etc... This will be a character who is using dark magic to fight evil, someone who saw that the power of Light wasn't strong enough and is willing to fight fire with fire. The basic...

We have a Bard in our group and after reading another thread I'm wondering if we've been playing wrong or not. Regarding spellcasting, I have assumed that the Bard needed a single hand free in order to cast spells with S or M components. But someone mentioned that all Bardic spells (with M)...

This. If this was 3.0/3.5 then no worries on the magical Stat enhancement, but unfortunately you will be hard pressed to find magical Stat boosts in 5th. So I would also second Mellored and suggest that you not plan on getting any item with Stat boosts.

I'm not sure of the armor plans, but remember that heavier armor does require a certain Strength or you get a movement penalty.

I wouldn't mind knowing either. I'm thinking of starting my next Campaign there, but my knowledge of Cormyr is....dated. I remember Azoun ruling and Alusair and Caladnei being up and commers, but now there is a Child-King and Alusair is dead?

Is that how you felt or did they give that rating? You might be judging yourself too harshly. Also, we all have off-days and sometimes those days are when you're running the game. Personally we had one day when the game was awful and no one was feeling it, not even the DM. It was this weird...

I'm surprised only 1 person has mentioned this so far...being prone grants advantage to melee, but disadvantage to ranged. Knocking an enemy Prone with a Shield Mastery attack could actually be helpful to the enemy in some cases depending on their Initiative. For instance, my party of 3...

That's what I was going to say. The PHB specifically says that you can chose whether the final MELEE hit outright kills the enemy or puts it unconscious. You would then have to commission some sort of Creature Wagon to transport the beast back to a proper holding pen. You'll likely not only...

I don't like D&D's "Class" system and never have, but I do love D&D. I would much prefer a skill-based system where you can assign skill points into different areas to customize your character as you want. Multi-classing is the closest to this, so I am all for Multi-Classing as both a player and...
