[QUOTE="Laurefindel, post: 8176268, member: 67296"] Roll d10 = 3 ---> Table C: 3rd level spells Roll d10 = 7 ---> Roll d10 = 10 ---> [I]Sleet Storm[/I] Ummm, Ok, there’s this cheesy built. Feta cheese actually… Boga Feta is a bounty hunter from house Tharashk specialised in taking down spellcasters, wizards in particular (his papa was killed by wizards, you see). Like the last chunk of feta cheese hiding in the thick brine, Boga swims with ease in a soup of ice and rain that he unleashes upon his enemies. [SIZE=7][B]Boga Feta[/B][/SIZE] Half Orc (mark of finding), Fighter 1 / Cleric (Tempest) 8 [B]Str [/B]14, [B]Dex[/B] 12, [B]Con[/B] 13+1, [B]Wis [/B]15+2, [B]Int[/B] 8, [B]Cha[/B] 10 [B]Skills:[/B] Athletics, Insight, Perception, Survival [B]Saving Throws:[/B] Strength, Constitution [B]Proficiencies:[/B] martial weapon, all armours, shields [B]Fighting Style:[/B] Blind Fighting [B]Feat:[/B] Mage Slayer, War Caster [B]Notable Spells:[/B] [I]sleet storm[/I] (3rd level), [I]freedom of movement[/I] (4th level), whatever precious few cleric spells that don’t require concentration, and the few blasting spells from the Tempest domain. The core of the concept is a [I]Darkness[/I]/Devil Sight combo on steroids. [I]Sleet Storm[/I] has three main effects: [LIST] [*]Creates a heavily obscured area (people inside are blinded) which Darkvision, Devil Sight, and even Truesight can’t counter. [*]Creates difficult terrain with a Dex save or fall prone. [*]Forces Con save on spellcasters or they lose concentration. [/LIST] All that in a cylinder 20 feet high and 80 feet wide (40’ radius). This is huge! If centred on a spellcaster, they can’t even [I]misty step[/I] out of it because they can’t see squat within the reach of the spell. Then enters our cheesy hero with [I]freedom of movement[/I] on, ignoring the difficult terrain part. The Blind Fighting fighting style gives him a 10-foot blindsight, allowing him to go close and personal with those tricky wizards (attacking with advantage, and imposing disadvantage on attacks against him). Now the Con-save-or-lose-concentration thing is great when it happens to others, but less so when it makes you lose your own spell! Luckily Feta has Con save proficiency from his first level as a fighter, and the War Caster feat to back it up. Now, these nasty wizards sometimes fight back! That’s where the Mage Slayer feat comes handy; either the wizard stays and receives an attack as a reaction should they cast a spell, or they leave and provoke an attack of opportunity. Make that an [I]inflict wounds[/I] of opportunity actually. In the meantime, the rest of Boga's party is wondering what to do... Boga Feta works alone, not because he doesn’t want partners, but because no one wants to deal with his gorram sleet storms all the time… [/QUOTE]
