Hi everyone, hope yall are all having a good day. I've been curious about building a necromancer for a while but I have some questions. This is the build I think I like, but I can't decide upon a few things Wizard 5/ Agent of the Grave 5/ Then back to wizard forever Specialization School...

I definitely have a problem when it comes to making concepts and actually making a game for the players, but I have no idea what to really do about that. I have tried both styles when it comes to scale and how much worldbuilding goes into a campaign, but it never seems to change anything. When I...

Probably a stupid question, but our party wizard is planning on retraining, but we're not sure what happens to her bonus feats. Does she get to keep scribe scroll? My inclination is that she would lose them, because those bonus feats are part of the class, but I can't find anything about what...

Not really my intention but you frame it in an interesting way that I hadn't considdered. It's not exactly immortality as we know it, but a full service until your natural end (like the pope). IIRC most resurrection spells don't work in regards to death by old age. Grated the lifespans of some...

19th Century?! Wow, that changes quite a bit, but I still think most of that would be irrelevant with the advent of magic (really just a whole lot about arms and armor/how they were percieved). That is something I genuinely did not know. That changes the idea for a low magic campaign that I was...

Yeah I get that, but I like giving my games at least a slight bit of grounding in reality. Something about being able to relate a game to our own world or history and thinking about the implications it would have just gets me going. I agree with you that certain things just become completely...

Have you ever had those 4:00 AM delusional thoughts turn into actual campaign world ideas? Well just recently I had a bit of a pivot in the way that I thought about the way different races and societies would have developed in a D&D world. This could just be my insomnia ridden brain pulling at...

Ranger levels? I havent really looked into that class at all. What could be gained from multiclassing into ranger?

So this isn't really meant to be for optimization or anything, just a fun little character build for an up and coming character of mine and I'm curious as to how people will critique it. I've already talked to the DM about how I want to RP the character and have a story arc in mind, so the...

You give me great Ideas. In all seriousness though, I think the switch up could work between good/bad reputation, I guess the jarring part would just have been me sailing with the pirates. Meh, gotta get to the isle somehow I guess, so why not sail in style by becoming a """ally""" with the...

Last week my friend decided to run a 1 shot of an island adventure, and we actually ended up loving it so much that we're probably going to continue it as a full campaign! This kind of left me in an awkward position as to what I wanted to do with my character, and I figured why not post about...

Put simply playing casters isn't complected for me (at least not for my playstyle). Their spells and everything are pretty self explanatory, the spell slot system is fine, and I have experience in almost every other class. The thing is, as I have said 3 times now the pact magic section in the...

I have never really looked at the warlock, but I have done multiclassing in the past. The thing that confused me is the wording on the pact magic section of the multiclassing section. It doesn't help that this will only have been the 2nd caster I've ever played.

So, I don't actually know how pact magic interacts with spellcasting. The wording on the pact magic is a bit weird to me and I'm not sure how to interpret it, so I figured I would ask here. Sorry for the stupid questions in advance 1) If I multiclassed into wizard, what happens to the slot from...

Ahhh... good old action economy. Yeah, I can see how this might interfere with that a bit. I dunno, I'm always thinking of ways to make things less of a pain to the other players. Streamlining the whole mob business is one thing, but I also want to give the other players the spotlight and help...

Recently I was asked by my DM if I would like to try playing in an evil campaign (we're starting from level 6). Sure why not, this means I can finally play a necromancer I think to myself. However upon looking at the spell options and different paths of play I get a bit stumped. Not everyone has...

Yep, we already thought about that, that's why I said we've already talked about it in the strategy section. We were actually going to use a variation of the mob rule, to make sure it didn't bog down play. I also in general don't think summoning spells and minions should ever take very long...

Absolutely love the suggestions (especially the ones about embalming the zombies, mold earth, and the theological aspect of this)! now this presents a couple of good questions 1) Which is better, party buffing or enemy de-buffing? I'm inclined to think casting haste on the paladin over the...

*Forgot about the cantrips... facepalm* Cantrips are also pretty basic: Prestidigitation, Toll The Dead, Chill Touch, and Minor Illusion. 2 for flavor/marginal benifiet, and 2 for damage. I also looked at each of those spells while I was making the character. I was thinking of having the 1st...
