[QUOTE="Kithas, post: 6805976, member: 97587"] Basically you either need advantage or an ally nearby, easiest thing if everyone else is going ranged would be have your ranger do an ensnaring strike, restrained gives you advantage. If you do expertise on athletics and your str score isn't awful you can get the shield master feat so that as a bonus action you can shove people prone, which gives you advantage. You could also use Find Familiar to summon an owl that uses the Help action to give you advantage(owls have flyby so they don't get OAs). Hold Person also works incredibly well as it will also make you crit. P.s. you crit super hard. Hopefully you being an 'anchor' in melee will encourage them to go into melee more often. Things like the Sentinel feat should help with this. Yes yes it will. Honestly the cleric options where more of an afterthought because you seem to want more casting. I remember you having thematic issues with clerics though so it may be easier to steer clear. As a side note while call lighting is great what you really get from it is thunderwave and shatter maxed out, also wrath is good when you're getting attacked. Overall though I think 1fighter/19 rogue will be rather enjoyable for you. [/QUOTE]
