[QUOTE="RulesJD, post: 6827566, member: 6808367"] 1. You clearly don't play Adventurer's League, which is understandable. It's not for everyone. But if you did you'd know that you take average health at each level (max at first). As my last ASI I took +2 Con (after having Toughness already). So yes, that health is literally feasible because it's the only HP I can have. Good job on checking the math but horrible job at reading comprehension (I'm so sorry for how badly you must have done on your LSAT) where I said at higher levels you can take that 12th level of fighter if you'r really looking for an ASI. 2. Seriously man, did you get like a 160 LSAT or something (I'm sorry but it's ridiculously stupid that you think you're the only lawyer here. I mean, did you even look at my name?)??? Without being troubled to go quote myself, I stated that I either Bless or Rage in a fight, depending on the needs of my party/the enemy we're facing. A bunch of Storm Giants? Rage because they hit hard but don't force a lot of saves. Fighting a bunch of Archmages? Bless for the +to saves. Lower levels I used Divine favor for added damage, or higher levels if I need radiant damage. Shield of Faith? Never used, because as shown above, AC tanking in upper T3/T4 is pointless outside lots of +AC magic items pushing you up above 25 AC (and getting access to the Shield spell). 3. And finally we come to your claim that because you are a juris doctorate, you can end discussions. First, seriously? I mean, really? You think that's something anyone is going to do anything other than laugh at? I feel sorry for your clients, I really do. You can't even maintain enough logical reasoning and reading comp to remember the distinctions made between Raging or Casting as stated earlier. Secondly, being a lawyer means jack squat about being a good optimizer. This is especially true given how stupidly easy it is to get into any sort of law school and then take one of the joke UBE states (sadly NY is becoming one of those). Please take this as a true piece of a advice, never throw down that you're a lawyer when (a) you're wrong; and (b) you want the people you're saying it to have any remote amount of respect for you. *edit* Forgot your "description" of the Tiamat. Again, you obviously didn't do the actual Rise of Tiamat adventure. Come on man, I'm not saying malpractice or anything but at least do some bare minimum due diligence here. Was about to write up a lengthy description of how the fight runs (fought her at level 14 not 17 so there's a bit of a difference in build, but whatever) but there's no point since you've never ran it.
