D&D 5E 5E Survivor - Subclasses (Part XV: The FINAL ROUND)

[JoeyD473]

Character races? Monsters by creature type? ...backgrounds?

maybe spells? or Magic Items?

 

[J-H]

Spells by spell list and level.
I really like Black Blades of Disaster more than Wish.

 

[Tonguez]

maybe spells? or Magic Items?

Official Adventures by edition?
Spells by Type?
Monster Types?

I think I'm done with the Survivor series at this point. It's been fun and I'm glad I get rid of Tempest Domain, but its time to move on. Cheers.

yes a break is needed for a bit; but that Monster survivor could be a fun exercise.

The latest (and my last!) Survivor thread is up!

D&D 5E - 5E Survivor: Species (formerly, "Races"): Lightfoot Halfling Wins!

In the previous Survivor thread, we put all of the subclasses up against each other to determine an all-time champion. And while it wasn't always awesome, and plenty of rotten apples ended up in the barrel, we did get some pretty good discussions out of it (and a cool new Warlock!). So I'm...

I'm going out with a bang.

Highest Scores achieved:
Thief (Rogue) 55
Ancients (Paladin) 55

It is appropriate then that these were also the final two contenders?

I think so.

So, the final four were

Oath of Ancients Paladin (winner)
Thief Rogue
College of Lore Bard
Totem Warrior Barbarian

That could be a fun party.

Thief Rogue

Yep, it would fill niches pretty well, too.

• Paladin can be healer as well, with Bard support, or vice versa.
• Thief and Bard both have expertise, so skills would be good.
• Lore Bard gets extra skills as well.
• Paladin and Barbarian could both be melee builds.
• Thief and Bard could both be ranged builds.
• Paladin and Bard are both CHA-based so social is well-handed.
• Bards have good spell selection and magical secrets.
• Paladin has decent half-caster spell selection, also.

So, yeah, a pretty solid party IMHO.

I'm fine with paladin as a winner. I vote him few time for:
Maybe the most fantasy class.
Can do melee
Can do spells
Can do healing
Can be social

What I find interesting here is how one voter (me) probably changed the outcome. I downvoted bard at least a dozen times. If I hadn't been so steady, the bard might have won...

I suspect that I am not the only such person, that there are several cases like this where if one person had/hadn't been involved the outcome would have been different. We need more voters perhaps?
