What about the bard when he starts the fiftieth rendition of Let It Go that day?
If you're that immune you probably have kids.I like Let it Go, so I'd probably join in!

Our hidden treasure has been Unseen Servant. Having an effective ROV with a 30 foot range and a fair strength means a lot of trap detection and other forms of dungeon delving safety effects.
Here's a question for those reading. The description of the spell just specifies that the Unseen Servant must stay within X feet of the caster (not in front of me right now, so, I don't know the range). Does that mean horizontal range? Or can the Unseen Servant fly within the range of the spell?

One hidden gem is the cleric domain of nature. It gives you one druid cantrip and heavy armor proficiency. Meaning you can pick shillelagh as the cantrip, and dump up strength and dexterity, maxing your wisdom, con, and giving rest to int and/or cha.
I think that shillelagh cantrip is the hidden gem, but above is an example to make most out of it.
P.S. slightly less effective with a druid as he doesnt get heavy armor.

Another one: I realized today that you can use Polearm Master with a quarterstaff. I don't know if this qualifies as a hidden gem, but I think it's great that monks can benefit from that feat. Even if they don't use the bonus attack, being able to make the opportunity attack should be very useful.

The tingling means it’s working!
Read the feat again, carefully. Quarterstaff doesn't benefit from all the features of the feat. EDIT: whoops, remembered this incorrectly.
On unseen servant: I don't think the servant has a fly speed. I get the impression it's pretty much an invisible servant.

Um... Yeah, it does. The feat grants two bonuses--extra attack and AOO on entry into threatened area--and they both call out the quarterstaff as one of the viable weapons.
It's the pike that only gets one of the two.

"You can keep your enemies at bay with reach weapons*. You gain the following benefits:
-When you take the Attack action and attack with only a glaive, halberd, or quarterstaff, you can use a bonus action to make a melee attack with the opposite end of the weapon. The weapon's damage die for this attack is a d4, and the attack deals bludgeoning damage.
-While you are wielding a glaive, halberd, pike, or quarterstaff, other creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter your reach."
-- PHB, 168
There are two components to the Polearm Master feat, both of which specifically mention the quarterstaff as an effected weapon. Could you please explain what features the quarterstaff does not benefit from?
I am in the middle of building a character around this feat, and I'd rather know what I'm missing before I show up at the table.
*I suppose one could claim that the feat mentions using reach weapons, which the quarterstaff certainly is not. However, the following points make me think that this is not the case as they both explicitly mention the quarterstaff as an eligible weapon.
