[QUOTE="bandessz, post: 8830516, member: 7038664"] Hi folks! So I have a planned character build for our game, and I want to ask you guys what do you think about it, what is needed to be changed. Firstly I want write some info about a campaign. (Im not a native English speaker so please excuse my mistakes) We playing in the 5e system, in a world that our DM made. This is the first proper D&D game that we participate in, (our DM ran a game for two players in the party before, but the rest of us are new players) and our DM ruled that on every Ability Score Increase we allowed to take the ASI and one feat (but if the feat gives you +AS , we don't get those). And the DM is cool with crafting, enchanting items for ourselves. We are currently at lvl1 and waiting for the lvl up sessions. So the I wanted to play a Hexblade, and my strongest inspiration was the [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OOIWcaEh2Y']Hexblades are Scary video[/URL]. Later when I inspected the spell list, I found the Darkness spell and wanted to be someon who can cast it, go in and do a lot of damage inside. And I very much wanted to do that with Maddening Darkness too (when we get there eventually), and I even asked my DM about it, he said that maybe we can come up some magic item, or something that can protect me in that. And a few weeks ago I found the Misty Step spell, while playing with Baldur's Gate 3. So now I really like the idea to be able to cast darkness, and teleport to or from enemies in that.
