D&D 5E So, who's ready to Gestalt 5E?

Wow, it's kind of amazing how easily that works, with the unified math. Hmm.

I'll say Circle of the moon druid/Path of Shadows Monk, for shadow-jumping grizzly action.

Otherwise, Champion Fighter/Berzerker Barbarian, for 4 attacks + Rage + Critical on 18 + Brutal Critical.

So Po, the Dragon Warrior from Kung Fu Panda?

I want a half-orc barbarian/monk that can use the armor bonuses from both classes. I am going to name him Banner.

The unfortunate thing is, I don't think that works. My understanding is that both features set your AC. Choosing the Barbarian feature means your AC is 10 + CON + DEX, while the Monk feature sets your AC to 10 + DEX + WIS. So you can't stack them. Pity, because that does seem awesome.

I'm thinking Fighter/Sorcerer as a Gestalt. Action Surge and Quicken Metamagic means I can throw spells and still attack every round.

You forgot all alignments.

Thaumaturge.

I also forgot:

All backgrounds
Expertise in all skills
Proficiency in all saving throws
20th level in all classes
Trust fund of 10,000,000 astral diamonds
DMPC

Yeah, I know. See my other post in this thread. I was just messing around with smashing together abilities.

Wait, are you saying Batman is the ultimate Mary Sue?

...Because I believe that.

Purple Dragonborn Wild Mage/Bard named Barney.

Lures children.

Chaotic Evil.

 

[WitchyD]

Pact of the Blade Warlock/Battle Master Fighter. Lots of special things to do with my attacks.

 

[Herobizkit]

Half-Elf Bard/Bladelock would be my dream.

One of my players has expressed interest in Druid/Monk as well, but not for Kung-Fu Panda action...

Just kung-fu action. In the woods. With a stick. (He's been watching 'The Raid: Redemption' and 'The Raid 2' lately and he loves smashing multiple opponents).

You're a terrible person and you should be ashamed of yourself.

And I thought my Naked Barbarian Dwarf was a terrible idea!

For shame Tormyr! For shame!

doctorhook makes Barney, and I am the evil one? There is nothing right in the world.

Except that we can make these builds...which is awesome.
