[QUOTE="chromevulture, post: 8691044, member: 7036856"] Hi. Our party is starting a Curse of Strahd campaign soon and while we have completed a campaign in 5e, we aren't exactly sure what is good in A5e. Any tips would be welcome based on anyone's current experience. For reference, it will be a berserker, wizard, ranger and rogue. As the rogue, I'm hoping to keep competitive in the DPR charts (at least not be as far behind as 5e). What subclass would be the best to achieve this? Currently considering burglar for the d8 sneak attacks, but I am also drawn to the soulknife for the psionic dice to shore up dominance in skill checks and have a back up weapon to deal with immunities/resistances. Will also likely take minor magic for booming blade and potentially the new true strike + a level in fighter to gain more maneuvers. The maneuvers will likely be all those that grant reaction attacks and critical hit enhancements. I've also noticed poison has been heavily nerfed for melee as it disappears after one hit (where as ranged ammunition is unaffected). The campaign will likely end at level 10. As sharpshooter is still good and great weapon master is basically stronger than before, is there anyway I could not get buried in DPR? [/QUOTE]
