[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9581988, member: 7030563"] We did have a lot of magic. At current time my PC (Arcane Trickster 9/Fey Warlock 7/Bard 1/Paladin 1) is rocking a forsight shortsword (MCDM weapon that gives advantage on first attack against a creature and does max damage on the weapon die), a vicious dagger, Rod Of Lordly Might (used as shortsword), Effreeti Bottle, Cloak of Protection (currently not attunded), Rod of the Pact Keeper +2, +3 shield and a slew of potions and scrolls. I am still using a non-magic breastplate. I don't actually have all the rings. With Uncanny Dodge, Sheild spell, Absorb Elements and Evasion I decided I did not need them, I only have two - Psychic Resistance and Necrotic Resistance if I remember correctly. Resistance to BPS is still in the Monster Manual but it applies to magic damage as well. This actually makes characters who use a Cantrip a bit more powerful. My character plays mostly like a Gish Rogue with Divine Smite, and some really effective low level control spells. I only get one attack a tturn, but when I do it I can use Truestrike or Pact of Blade to turn all my damage into Psychich, Necrotic and/or Radient or some mix of those, including my 5d6 Sneak attack damage. This is a big benefit over a Rogue that is tied to BPS with Sneak Attack. Yes but that is running the adventure as designed. [/QUOTE]
