[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 8053774, member: 63"] I rather liked (in Pathfinder) a paladin/kineticist who would smite enemies with psychic lightning. In 5E, we had a bard 3/warlock 3/rogue 2 with 18 Strength who specialized in using Enhance Ability and bardic inspiration to pull off ludicrous Athletics checks to grapple enemies, then used Cunning Action to Dash the enemy off a cliff. The sub-climax of the campaign had an archmage riding atop a war elephant amid an army that he was bringing to lay waste to the party's home. The PCs got wind of this and enacted ... [B]OPERATION BLOODTALON[/B] This involved four spellcasting PCs pooling their resources for maximum jank. The party found a hill to hide behind that was just the right distance from the road. They had some centaur allies ready to launch a diversionary attack right when the elephant got to the ideal spot. Round one, the team buffed the bard with [I]invisibility[/I], [I]fly[/I], [I]enlarge[/I], and [I]enhance ability[/I]. Then the bard flew over the hill and parked himself next to the archmage. The archmage fireballed the centaurs. Round two, the bard grabbed and dashed back to the rest of the party. Everyone attacked the archmage, including the party fighter action surging, and they killed him in one round. Then they [I]dimension doored[/I] out of sight before anyone from the army could come around the hill to find them. After that, the army lost cohesion, and the party basically won without a fight.
