Ambiguously Gendered Revenge of "What is the Hivemind?"

Maybe I'll let you gain a level before sending you against AshardalonEskaron.

Taking down 3 kobolds hardly deserves a level.

OK, so that seems to me to be basically equivalent to 8 1st-level characters and 1 2nd-level character (bard + ranger + half-elf = can't in good conscience count it in 2nd-level in my analysis). The hardest dragon against which they even have a ghost of a chance is a Young Red, and then only if they can fight in a place where they are spread out enough to avoid more than one character being caught in the Breath Weapon at once + the casters fill up on Ice spells.

... What ice spells?

Lesser Orb of Flame. 1d8 damage, the ranged touch will definitely hit.

Well, you're not talking about LEW anymore, either.

Level 1 Halfling Wizard with maxed-out Dex and Weapon Focus ranged spells.

What kind of Wizard has maxed out Dex and a 12 Int?

... And takes weapon focus at first level?

 

[Jdvn1]

Imagine that. Right, Knight Otu?

Hey, what? What are you getting at?

Hey, what? What are you getting at?

Knight Otu's LEW character Ashnar is LE. But he doesn't act like it.

Ah-hah. Decpetive. The character is just like the player!

The kind who focuses on Ranged attack spells with no save.

 

[Jdvn1]

The kind who focuses on Ranged attack spells with no save.

The kind that focuses on 0-2nd level ranged attack spells with no save. Riiight.

Somehow that strikes me as a rather silly build.

There's plenty of those spells, and I've seen the build before. It's pretty good, actually. 0-1d3 cantrips for each element, 1-1d8 lessers for each element, 2-Scorching Ray, hurray!
