D&D 5E (2024) Ranged Builds Thread

Champions good from level 3. Battlemaster beats it probably. [...]

So your advise would be to use Battlemaster?

Level 10 though with vex and elven accuracy a champion is beautiful to see. Tested that one.

[...]

Which species did you take and how did you get the best out of a critical hit. I fear the a critical hit just gives 1D6 additional damage. Seems weak.
How did you solve that problem?

Which maneuvers would you suggest?
I would take menacing attack, pushing attack and evasive footwork.

…

I wonder if the piercer feat for a champion build would be better. Hm... but less options!

This is why I asked about champion right after talking about Battlemaster. Because you explicitly brought it up in the same post AFTER asking about Battlemaster manuevers.

Goodness gracious.

 

[CptMetal]

Would the piercer feat help?

Because of this I was referring to the champion build again.

Hope that clears it up.

I just have this idea of a non caster Max Payne style fighting against the Supernatural horrors of the night.
I'm not sure HOW to build it though.

Champion? i thought we were talking about the battlemaster.

Then why did you say this in response? Makes no sense.

Treat the crit thing as gravy. Check out piercer feat as well its nice on champions.

1d6 is weak but more attacks with advantage each shot is getting close to 20% crit chance. And piercer feat allows rerolls and +2d6 damage.

Sharpshooter, crossbow expert, piercer level 4,6 8 20 dex. Whatever order you prefer.

Longow with 13 strength and swap crossbow expert tor great weapon master. Take that feat level 6 or 8.

What's better is debatable. Guts probably Battlemaster 3-6 level 10 champion. And how soon you can aquire a vicious weapon. Vicious weapon makes champion a lot better vs Battlemaster even if battlemaster has same weapon.

If elven accuracy is allowed youre an elf. Pick your favorite. If its not halfling or hunan as a champion. If you like battlemaster race doesn't matter to much just dont pick an anti combo.

Just going to point out that Bladesinger can use ranged weapons now. You'll still want to dip fighter 1 for martial ranged weapons and archery style.

If you cast haste, you can truestrike + attack + Truestrike + crossbow Expert bonus attack.

Or conjure Minor Elemental and 3 attacks.

Thanks for the tipps! I think I will add piercer to my feat list!

That subclass is definitely out of the question
Can you build something similar with PHD 2024 rules?
