Cunning action already gives you Dash as a bonus action. - action=dash + bonus=attack -> 1 attack + 5 damage - bonus=dash + action=attack -> 2 attacks Uncanny dodge already uses your reaction for half damage. You cannot do SA with your twf longsword, get a rapier. Stealth expertise is a...

Player A and creature B both roll for initiative. After a few rounds, player A will kill creature B. - A wins initiative = A B A B A B A - B wins initiative = B A B A B A B A If it takes 4 attacks to kill B, going first means A will defend 3 times instead of 4. With no bonus, A will defend 3.5...

With those rolls you can do anything you want. You don't need any mechanical help. You should define your RP concept first, and see how to mechanically match it.

You need Str13 and Cha13 to MC. Something like 15 9 14 10 10 16 with point buy. I don't think you'll get anything from stealth. Your goal is paladin 7 / warlock 3, anything beyond is RP/fluff-based. I am surprised you did not consider GOO lock along with OotA. You will need warcaster if you use...

Yeah, if he's not a ranged rogue I can see. Point of rule though, the rogue can't get a second SA on *his* turn, but *your* turn is a different turn.

I've been endowed with friends who enjoy every fine system. After going through Glossamer, Ars Magica and Leverage, I've reached the point where you ask the player what was the problem and how did you fail it. Failure is not an option, it's built right in.

Right, I missed that, thanks. Ray of frost is a ranged attack, with wizard +3 Int against AC13 you hit on 8+ and expect 3.15 damage with crit. Acid splash still does 3.5 since it's a Dex save, so ray of frost is a 10% drop.

Did you think of getting reckless attack from barbarian 2? Advantage on all 3 attacks would boost your nova, no need to rage or pick the attack action.

The bard should take inspiring leader, you should grab shield master. Commander's strike would help the rogue land a second SA every round. Can you wait until level 8 to get extra attack? Don't sweat the 5th spells, you'll probably get more from fighter 6 feat. The alternative is to rebuild...

Careful here. Acid splash is a Dex save, with a wizard DC of 13 and a +2 Dex you save on 11+ and expected damage becomes 3.5. Ray of frost is a ranged attack, with wizard +3 Int against AC13 you hit on 10+ and expect 2.5 damage.

I haven't read everything, but you have to be careful with spell-like powers. MC barbarian / fighter could use those powers while raging. So powers like blur, haste, hex, et al. could break balance. MC is the easiest source of "complex", whatever class features of that archetype must go beyond...

You can pick the missing 2 of warcaster, shield master and resilient (Wis) to somewhat cover all 3 big saves. I don't think that replacing them with multiple instances of resilient makes a big difference.

First, I feel the deck is stacked toward 2-hander Str gish because S&B has the warcaster tax. This is even truer if you start with the Con save (EK or sorc). To add insult to injury, EK gets an extra feat at level 6. Second, gish will use magic to supplement damage (smite, war magic) or bolster...

That might make every character look the same: - Cha18: half-elf with actor feat - Wis18: observant and resilient (Wis) (only for monk/ranger) - Int18: some permutation of observant, keen mind and linguist - Con20: dwarf with durable, tavern brawler and resilient (Con) - Dex20: halfling/elf with...

That's not an issue. Dixit errata: "Two-Handed (p. 147). This property is relevant only when you attack with the weapon, not when you simply hold it." As long as you go polearm/heavy you don't need warcaster. The usual base is wizard 2 / EK 7, either abjuration or divination. Then you choose...

I had 2 reasons for the pally 7 / lock 3 / bard 9: - pally 8-12 is a deadland (IMO), you might as well grab a caster for more smite slots - bard 3 has 2 expertise and an extra proficiency If you don't want bard, rogue 1 and 6 offer expertise also. - pally 7 / lock 3 / rogue AT 10 has 4 ASI and...

You could start 8 12 14 12 16 14 with that resilient human since druids Str/Dex/Cha get replaced by the wildshape ones. I don't know if your target beast shape already has Con proficiency, your feat won't add anything then. Human also has an extra prepared spell over the gnome. Did you reject...
