See I don't agree. I hate the 3.5 system.

Why would you take 16 Charisma if you were building for duribility at 1st level? The 2 most important abilities are Dexterity and Constitution. The next two are Strength and Wisdom. 2+ short rests is going to be very unlikely for a 1st level PC before leveling, especially if there are...

6th level Glamor Bard can cast it twice every round for a minute.

Yes they do.

I don't remember the immunity to difficult terrain for Rodents or beasts, but the Sphinx of Wonder has a 40 fly speed. There is not much that is going to outrun it at 1st level. If I was building a Warlock for Durability at 1st level I would dump Charisma. It is the least useful stat for a...

If your 1st level Warlock plays naked with no food, weapons, armor or gear. Otherwise 8 or 9 is probably the realistic limit.

He would be at 13+Dex. Depending on Constitution that could be better or worse than Unarmored Defence.

Because at first level it will be better in play. Relentless endurance is generally going to much better than one extra hp from being a Dwarf. Relentles Endurance also has several advantages over Stone Endurance is that at level 1 Stone Endurance is usually 1 attack negated. It is rare damage...

Well I am planning a Dead 3 Rogue/Bladesinger when the new FR supplement comes out. This is a 1-20 game and first 5 levels will be Rogue, with lucky and the Mage Slayer feat for a 18 Dex. Then she is going to start adding Wizard. So she will be using a lower 16 Intelligence when she attacks...

Yeah it is, not usually after 5th level though.

The problem with this is the Eldritch Knight calls out "Wizard Cantrips" even though you get them through the Fighter class. That one entry muddies the water quite a bit. I do agree with this interpretation though, just that it is not as clean as it should be.

But you are not going to typically be fighting a bunch at 1st level. And going 100ft and then attacking is usually 3 turns. My familiar might not stick them in place, but he is going to do around 35 damage in the 3 rounds it takes them to get to me. 35 damage is enough to end many 1st level...

At 1st level? Not before they die generally. I would not be 100ft away, mostly because I want the saving throw bonus, but I would probably be far enough and positioned to make melee difficult and if they do get me in melee I use my familiar for cover and rely on my shield spell and relatively...

They can, but it is not going to be easy if you are avoiding attack and if you are successful at hiding they will usually have to waste an action first to do it .... and you have a slot for a Shield Spell and probably cover even if they do find you. Meanwhile your familiar does massive (for 1st...

Also if it is a 1st level build you can dump Charisma with no consequences.

You can't get Fiendish Vigor at 1st level. In any case, even if you could, I think getting a familiar with 23hps that does significantly more at will damage on an attack than a 1st level Fighter, gives you +2 on your saves and which you can also replenish with a magic action is going to be more...

Not everyone plays with 4 encounter days at 1st level either. I would guess the former is more common than the latter, and it certainly is in published adventures. I mean you can just walk down the road to get a milestone to pick up level 2 is SODQ.

No it is not fool proof, but nothing is on a 1st level PC. I think with a shield spell for an easy +5 AC and Armor of Agathys for an extra 5 hit points at the start of the day, which last all day, it is a lot safer than being exposed and able to be easily attacked with fewer total hit points...

There is no reason for a 1st level Barbarian build for durability to have less than an 18 AC. They can do that on point buy without spending any gold on armor (S16 D16 C16 I8 W8 CH8) plus a shield. Also what "decent ranged weapon" are you going to buy for a fighter who is using Chainmail and a...

A 4 encounter day is going to put you at 2nd or possibly 3rd level, and if it doesn't they were weak encounters. So I don't think this is a significant concern for a 1st level PC.
