[QUOTE="Todd Roybark, post: 7835054, member: 6920677"] Feats for starters. I’ve seen a Fafhrd inspired variant Human Barbarian chose the Actor Feat at 1st level. It was point buy, so even with the stat bonus from the feat, her CHA was a 13 or a 14, but the Advantage to checks to pretend you are someone else is stupendously useful. She was able to bluff her way deep into a castle garrison’s warren like maze of corridors, and through cunning play; like listening in to a conversation between the bailiff and a subaltern and mimicking their voices....(including a mock tryst while imitating the voice of the bailiff —-with production value help from the Bard’s Minor Illusion cantrip), navigate the various corridors while keeping the patrols at bay. Sure the Bard had Expertise in Deception and a higher CHA modifier, the Barbarian, however, had panache and the backing of Advantage....which keep her on a roll........................... ...............Until it didn’t....and then a Raging Barbarian fared much better against piercing dmg of spears than the Charming Bard without Bladeward. Smart play will always win, no matter the character class. Also many spells have Saving Throws. In Descent to Avernus you have to get info from a Sibrex.....Persausion DC 15.... or Detect Thoughts.....the Sibrex has a +7 to Wis saves.... In this case a Persausion Character succeeds ....Magic Fails. Also Magic is limited....Skills are a Forever. [/QUOTE]
