    D&D 5E (2014) Fighter/cleric multi-classing-where to go?

    That fighter 6 ASI is planned to boost to Wis16 and will be useless until you get enough cleric spells to matter, which won't happen before cleric 4 anyway. Did you have a special use for that ASI that makes it mandatory earlier? But yeah, war domain fits well with battlemaster.

    D&D 5E (2014) Bard/Cleric Build Question/Opinion

    You cannot have 15 hp extra at level 10, it's either 10 or 20. It all depends on the concept you have: - archer prefers Dex16 and valor. Off the table because lore selected. - melee prefers Dex16, magic initiate (BB) and warcaster. Lore is best. Dex and Cha compete for ASI. - caster prefers...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can you temporarily pause your movement in a friendly creature's space?

    Your movement ends with your turn: "until you are done moving."* As long as you have 10' to enter your friend's space and another 10' to move your grappled target, it obeys RAW. Heck, with 30' movement you could pull it behind your friend (5' forward {10' move for difficult terrain}, 10'...

    Ok, so you must use 8 10 12... You have Str8 Int10 Cha14+2, that leaves 12 13 15 for Dex Con Wis with 2 racial +1... Did you think of Dex13+1 Con15 Wis12+1? A little unorthodox, but it seems to work fine. The swap comes down to 1 extra prepared spell or +1 AC.

    D&D 5E (2014) Bard/Cleric Build Question/Opinion

    I second the Dex14 / medium armor trick. If you can spend your expertise on rogue skills, you can start 9 14 14 10 14 16. Compared to Dex16, you are 1 point behind until level 4, then expertise kicks in for 2 of the 3 Dex skills.

    D&D 5E (2014) Bard/Cleric Build Question/Opinion

    This is strictly inferior to 8 15+1 13+1 9 13 14+2 and taking Cha+2. Odds are the tool of the devil, don't ever touch them unless it is the only way to get what you want at the first ASI. In this case: - you permanently lose 1 build point, - you are 1-3 hp behind until level 4. All this for no...

    D&D 5E (2014) Bard/Cleric Build Question/Opinion

    You never run out of cantrips. As for the rare higher slot spells, you usually cast them before drawing your weapon. Otherwise you can sheath it when you have to cast. You thought of how that lower DC will impact you. That's good enough. The point buy was a brain fart, thanks for the correction.

    D&D 5E (2014) Bard/Cleric Build Question/Opinion

    You can use a shield and keep your main hand free, so HP and AC. Since you are a soft target, you shouldn't get any OA use for your weapon/spell. I believe that even at Wis14, your DC will be too weak for offensive use. This removes guiding bolt and bane from the must have. Moreover: - Con13...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5e] Swashbuckler/Fighter makeshift tank

    I just did. With real arguments. Let me spell it out further: - parry vs 10 damage = 8.5 saved - uncanny dodge vs 10 damage = 5 saved Difference = 3.5 saved, or 42 per day. That piddly 42 damage reduction is a waste compared to uncanny dodge's 120 and whatever damage reduction you can get from...

    Uncanny has no cost and can be done every round. Parry takes one of your 3 maneuvers, and uses up your 4 superiority dice. I shouldn't have to spell it out.

    It's not that bad. Some features will be limited to twice per long rest, your heal spells will only get a +2, and you cannot attack enemies with spells. General spells: - cure wounds heals for 1d8+2 - command has a DC of 12-13 - spiritual weapon hits on +4/+5 Tempest: - wrath works twice per...

    Do you have Wis13 or better? You need it to MC. Do you have Wis16 or better? You need a good DC to attack with spells. You should get fighter 5 for extra attack. The rest can wait. For damage, you want to reach cleric 8 for divine strike. You will do less damage than fighter 11, but you will...

    Typical MC is fighter 1 / lore bard X to get medium armor, bard's features come in too late to dip further. If you go valor, stop before fighter 5: extra attack will not stack. If you are mostly fighter, sorcerer is the usual MC for self-buff. Bard is not the only class you could pick to cover...
