    Dwarvin Polearm build--HELP PLEASE

    1. We've seem to have completely dropped the last topic, so I'll just say that's now how legendary actions work. They can't do the same one twice in a row, so at best it could do it twice per round. That's why I had my numbers as they are.

    Dwarvin Polearm build--HELP PLEASE

    *sigh* 1. I didn't address your points? Which ones, exactly, did I miss with my aforementioned short novel? 2. I take someone at their word when they've said they've had an experience. Until they make a statement that clearly indicates that no, they have not had that experience. 3...

    Dwarvin Polearm build--HELP PLEASE

    Lastly, just because I get really annoyed by lawyers dropping their profession in expectation of adoration and respect. A 42 out of 48 roughly equates to a 165/166 on the current LSAT scale. No, that's not a great score, especially if you want to get anything close to a "worth it" legal job in...

    Dwarvin Polearm build--HELP PLEASE

    Got some time, so let's do this. Relevant text has been bolded. Timeline: 1. OP asks for optimized dwarven PAM builds geared towards being "make as powerful as possible." 2. OP posts further info about rolling stats and having taken a PAM before level 4 as a dwarf, so clearly some homebrew...

    I tried powergaming a wizard in AL

    Do this (literally what my T3 Wizard did). You want HP as a Wiz sure, but 14 Con is more than enough. You definitely don't want a negative wisdom save.

    D&D 5E (2014) [GUIDE] Playing Dice with the Universe: A Slant Guide to Wild-Magic Sorcerer

    It is a Dexterity check. So anything that affects dexterity checks, affects Initiative rolls. Hex, Champion Fighter/Bard class abilities, etc. It's also why I always pick up Guidance. So long as I have 6 seconds before combat I can get a mini-Alert feat and add 1d4 to my initiative roll.

    Dwarvin Polearm build--HELP PLEASE

    1. You clearly don't play Adventurer's League, which is understandable. It's not for everyone. But if you did you'd know that you take average health at each level (max at first). As my last ASI I took +2 Con (after having Toughness already). So yes, that health is literally feasible...

    Dwarvin Polearm build--HELP PLEASE

    1. Please, reveal to me the BBEG that drops a Raging 212hp (accounting for Second Wind, if used after rage, total HP becomes de facto 457ish) Barbarian/Fighter/Cleric? I'll save you the math and tell you that your BBEG has to do ~153 damage per round, albeit possibly less if he can hit before...

    D&D 5E (2014) what is the best class?

    A level 17+ Wizard. Why? Because they can Wish -> Simulacrum any other class. Poof, now they have both their class and the other one.

    Dwarvin Polearm build--HELP PLEASE

    1. Okay, smack down time. 2. This is the build I took through HotDQ and then through RoT, all the way up to beating her. All AL legal rules, played as written and open rolling. Currently sitting at level 17 AL legal. 3. 17 AC is plenty to avoid hits by minions. I don't care about dodging...

    Dwarvin Polearm build--HELP PLEASE

    1. I know that Cleric spells don't overlap with Rage. You know what does? Guidance before a fight you can see coming for +1d4 to initiative. More importantly, see where I specifically wrote that you use Bless when you aren't raging. My build gets 3 rages/day. For every other fight, either...

    Dwarvin Polearm build--HELP PLEASE

    1. Assuming rolled stats is bad. Just bad. For the purposes of maximizing discussion, you can't use them because its an unknown variable that can greatly impact the outcome. Yay pointbuy. 2. You being bad at tanking doesn't mean having "only" 16 Con is bad. For starts, you take 3 levels...

    What sort of character will you build for Curse of Strahd?

    Which is awesome, but also requires 5 levels into Monk, which is a looooong dip, compared to the 1-3 you need for maximum Barbarian effectiveness. I think your build of Monk/Moon Druid is much better suited as a Primary Monk/Secondary Druid. Just get druid up to level 2 for Moon Druid, grab...

    D&D 5E (2014) [GUIDE] Playing Dice with the Universe: A Slant Guide to Wild-Magic Sorcerer

    Just always use Tides of Chaos on your Initiative roll.

    Dwarvin Polearm build--HELP PLEASE

    He's a Dwarf so assuming 27 point buy: Str: 14 (+2) Dex: 14 Con 14 (+2) Int: 8 Wis: 13 Cha: 9 Take Resiliency (Wisdom) for your 4th ASI to bump you up to 14 Wis. Doesn't really matter though because all you want is Bless, Healing Word, and Divine Favor. Barbarian can use medium armor so 14...

    Dwarvin Polearm build--HELP PLEASE

    Disregard the prior builds, if you want to go full powergaming goodness with Polearm, here's how you do it. For your ASIs, in order, you take Polearm Mastery, GWM, then Sentinel. Only after that do you boost STR. For class, go BM Fighter. Get Trip, Menacing, and Precision strike as your...

    Monk/Druid Multiclass Confusion

    Unarmored defense - Yes. Use beast's Dex mod + your wisdom mod Martial arts (Tigerclaw-Style ;-) - No. Requires use of a Monk or Unarmed strike, which most beast do not have Unarmored movement - Yes Flurries + extra Effekte vom Way of the Open Hand - No. Requires use of a Monk or Unarmed...

    D&D 5E (2014) Heroes Feast---holy moly this is an uber spell

    That's only advantage and 1/2 damage. HF is immunity, which makes a word of difference. It also targets multiple creatures and lasts for more than 1 hour. Prot Poison is a great spell of course, but it's apples to oranges. My table at this seasons Epic used it. Made the "dragon" fight...

    Build-wise, what's rare in the AL?

    Whuuuups, my fault. I read it wrong. I thought it read that he only saw Eagle totems. Yeah Bear totems are overwhelmingly popular.

    Build-wise, what's rare in the AL?

    You spelled Bear totem wrong. 1. BM Rangers for obvious reasons 2. Non-Evocation/Abjuration Wizards 3. Elemental Monks 4. Knowledge/Nature Clerics 5. Oath of Devotion Paladins 6. Battlerager Barbarians 7. Purple Dragon Knight 8. SCAG Monks (only seen 1 Sun Soul, 0 Long Death) 9. Oath...
