    D&D 5E (2014) Assistance With a Build?

    I think you are going to need at least Mastermind 3, since Rogues don't get a specialization until 3.

    D&D 5E (2014) Death Cleric Build Help

    Here is an interesting idea for you. If you Magic Initiate, or better yet Ritual Master, as your feat, you can pick Wizard to gain access to some wizard spells your normally can't cast. Most importantly Find Familiar. Find Familiar lets you cast melee attack spell through your familiar, as...

    D&D 5E (2014) [META] Realistic Optimization

    Lately I've been planing my builds with a level 10 goal, meaning that I want it to be completed by level 10 and if we get beyond that I'm just adding gravy to an enjoyable build. Example: My Barbarian Shaman. Totem Barbarian 6 (Wolf and Eagle) Rune Scribe 5 (Yes I know that is 11 levels, but...

    What are the strengths and weaknesses of different multiclass gishes?

    These spells are so good to the point that they can almost be abused sometimes. I came up with a decent combo that doesn't even use extra attack but still hits 2 targets for roughly 3d8+4(7) each at level 6 using greenflame blade, battle master sweeping attack and ranger hordebreaker.

    What are the strengths and weaknesses of different multiclass gishes?

    Ideally you want 1 stat plus con, two stat plus con is doable but you have to not take so many feats. 3 is just beyond realistic imo.

    What are the strengths and weaknesses of different multiclass gishes?

    I'm hoping they do the world of Krynn soon so that we have an official version of the Minoatur. Minotaur really changes the name of the game when it comes playing a S/B Gish. it now become completely viable. I've been playing a Fighter1/Adjuration Wizard6 in my recent campaign and enjoying the...

    *Beastmaster* Avoiding the one (or two) downsides...

    Random thought, if playing with UA material, the Artificer can make potion of growth, which give the enlarge portion of the spell for 1d4 hours with no concentration checks. it takes first level spells and is accessible at level 2 Wizard. Level 2 wizards know 3 first level spells and 3...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5e] What to play in a 2-people group? Other character is a paladin.

    I would look into Warlock of the Tome 3/Lore Bard X Dex/Charisma based You'd still be a skill monkey, especially if you take a street rat type background. Your character would be a seeker of knowledge (perhaps you pact with a feylord requires you to find some long lost secret) and you are...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Can A Party With So Many People Have So Many Needs! (Build Advice to Fill Said Needs)

    I'm not sure if you can get a much better fitting setup then Warlock of the Tome 3/ Lore Bard 17. This gives you a pure caster, with a huge assortment of great Cantrips/Skills TomeLock gets your both a 2 level 1 ritual spells (Find Familiar and Identify) and 3 Cantrips of your choice, with the...

    D&D 5E (2014) [GUIDE] Dealing Death: Handbook of the True Assassin

    I just feel any build that has a majority of X class in it is a X build and not a rogue build.

    D&D 5E (2014) [GUIDE] Dealing Death: Handbook of the True Assassin

    Builds that only include 3 levels of rogue for the assassin bonus don't really feel like they belong in the assassin guide. No of these are really rogue themed either. (Even your Valor Bard is Bard themed not Rogue) And to answer your question Auto-crit basically means you get to roll extra...

    D&D 5E (2014) Witch Elf Character (inspired by mini)

    Having a long history of Druchii, here are my thoughts: -Personally I would go Dex barb to level 3(Berserker for Frenzy) This just screams Witch Elf. -Rogue to level 3(Swashbuckler) This represents your lightning speed in combat, dodge in and out. (This nets you Sneak Attack, A witch Elf...

    D&D 5E (2014) Need some fast help with Character Building... Dex Barbarian +?

    I've been messing around with a Barbarian Shaman build that can use 2 weapons if you want. It currently uses UA content so some groups might not allow it but noone I've talked to finds the RuneScribe to be OP. It's based around the diea of have a Barbarian that uses "Magic" without impeding...

    D&D 5E (2014) Build Help - Dex Based Fighter/Barbarian - Want to do it all

    Currently the only thing that stacks with it would be the +Int to AC from Blasesinger, which I thought would be an intersting idea, but you'd lose your ability to wield a shield. Which kind of offsets the purpose of adding to your AC in the first place.

    D&D 5E (2014) [GUIDE] My Word Is My Sword: The Paladin Guide

    I'm actually disappoitned that you put Minotaur below the Shifters. I believe most people find the Shifters to be some of the worst since you can only shift so often, and without shifting they are severely lacking. Minotaur's racial actions are rather good and useful on a combat character like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Build Help - Dex Based Fighter/Barbarian - Want to do it all

    I always felt like a mixed weapon dex character was doable. Probably something along the line of Fighter 4 (Battlemaster, 4 for the ASI) for a variety of maneuvers that can be used with both melee and ranged. Followed by Barbarian X Totem Follower. This will push you into a very defensive...

    D&D 5E (2014) My campaign will end at level 17...

    If you don't want to take any more levels in Bard, and you need to switch your cleric domain (Although like someone mentioned, you can switch deities and still maintain a domain technically), but Nature domain (Especially if you take 6 levels in it, for the reaction to give resistance to an...

    D&D 5E (2014) Thunder / Lightning Mage?

    Paladin 2 Dragon Sorc 6 would probably make for a great thunder and lightning character that can handle itself in combat as well. Paladin 2 gets you smiting with your spell slots, as well as a BA spell Thunderous Smite. Fighting Style, heavy armor and martial weapons. (Later you can get your...

    D&D 5E (2014) Avatar: The 4-element monk mini-guide

    I was recommending it thematically, we can all agree that their is no optimized elemental monk because the archtype itself if flawed and needs work. However needing 13int to go with your Dex/Wis requirements isn't that bad at all, still leave room for a decent Con. Getting Arcana proficiency...
