    D&D 5E Homebrew Monk Subclass - Way of the Tempest Feedback

    I have wanted to try my hand at a homebrew monk subclass and would love some feedback. A few points of context: This subclass is intended to be more OP vs. other monk subclasses. I am not going for parity, I'm going for a viable monk from a DPR standpoint, particularly in T3/T4 gameplay. As...

    D&D 5E Rune Knight 17 / Lycan Bloodhunter 3- Am I wrong or is this great on grappler builds?

    I was thinking of perhaps rolling a Goliath Rune Knight, with a 3 level dip in Bloodhunter for Order of Lycan (reflavored as a sort of Giant's Rage). Is it me, or does this grouping work well together? It is true that some of the features overlap (e.g. advtantage in Strength checks/saves, damage...

    D&D 5E Level 10 Magical Secrets - Lore Bard in Princes of the Apocalypse

    I'm currently playing a level 9 Lore Bard /level 1 Divine Soul Sorcerer in a Princes of Apocalypse campaign (with homebrew that will take us to level 20). My party consists of a Vengeance Paladin, a Twilight Cleric, a Dragon Monk, an Artificer/War Mage, and a Scribes Wizard, so we are pretty...

    D&D 5E Best Subclass/Build for 1-20 Dragon Heist/Dungeon of Mad Mage Campaign

    I reached out to this community to help me narrow my choices, but still a bit stuck so coming back to finally help me get over the hump and settle. As background, starting a 1-20 DH/DoMM campaign so this build choice will be with me for quite some time. The current party, IMHO, will certainly...

    D&D 5E Will my Beast Barbarian/Soulknife Rogue be viable in a 1-20 campaign?

    I am starting a level 1-20 campaign and am very interested in this build, for its flexibility and flavor. I view it a bit like a Black Panther sort of build, combining stealth, strength, natural weapons, and reactive resistance. We are all starting with a feat. The idea is a Beast Barbarian...

    D&D 5E Vengeance Paladin with PAM, Spear & Shield, & Elven Accuracy

    I'm planning for a 1-20 campaign and wanted to try my hand at Paladin (Standard Point Buy). The party is most likely a Ranger, Wildfire Druid, Rune Knight, Rogue, and Wizard/Artificer, so a healing/tanky PC is probably a good idea. The DM is permitting a starting feat for everyone, so it got my...

    D&D 5E Undead Sorlock Advice

    I'm in a Strahd/Homebrew campaign that goes to level 20. I am currently playing as an Aberrant Mind Sorcerer and overall having fun, however, was very tempted to MC into Warlock. Rather than take the traditional Hexblade route, I was looking at Undead as a potential subclass. I know that will...

    D&D 5E Aberrant Mind Psionic Spell Help (for CoS campaign)

    Hey everyone, I'm playing a CoS campaign for the first time and decided to roll an Aberrant Mind Sorcerer. I love the flavor of the subclass but am really struggling with what to keep on my Psionic Spell List. I am entering an existing group at level 6 as the primary arcane spellcaster...

    D&D 5E Interesting Feat Dilemma for Aberrant Mind Sorcerer

    I posted a bit ago about going Aberrant Mind or Chronurgy Wizard for a modified CoS campaign that the DM will take to level 20 with the heavy addition of Homebrew content. I opted for Aberrant Mind Sorcerer (thanks for the help deciding everyone!) As part of this change, he is allowing everyone...

    D&D 5E Aberrant Mind or Chronurgy Wiz? (CoS Campaign)

    Hey everyone, I am relatively new to D&D so am hoping to get some tips and pointers that my help me make a good choice for my upcoming campaign. For background, I am starting a revised CoS/Homebrew campaign that will go through level 20 (for context, I don't even think Strahd is the only BBEG...

    D&D 5E Curse of Strahd Class Advice (No Spoilers Please)

    I am joining an amped up Curse of Strahd/Homebrew campaign that will take PCs up to level 20. I have never played CoS before, and have only played a few campaigns in D&D in total, so don't have a ton of experience across classes. The current party composition is a Cleric (front line), Rogue...

    D&D 5E Devotion Paladin build advice for Descent into Avernus

    I'm starting a DiTA campaign at level 5 that will take us through level 13. I decided to play a Devotion Paladin but am debating three different builds and am having trouble deciding which is the best version. For context, the other party members consist of a Barbarian, Arcane Trickster Rogue...

    D&D 5E OK to make PC build dependent on magic item for viability?

    I am currently about to embark on Descent into Avernus with a cool idea for a build. A Fighter (Echo Knight)/Wizard (Chronurgy) MC who bends and folds time to be effective in battle. From the EK perspective, he pulls versions of himself from other dimensions to aid in battle, but also calls upon...

    D&D 5E Temporal Sentinel (Echo Knight/Chronurgy) Build

    I am about to start up a campaign that goes to level 13 and decided to spin up a multiclass that I thought was interesting and always wanted to try. An Echo Knight 6 / Chronurgy Wizard 7 MC. The idea is that the PC has an Acolyte background and is a disciple of Chronos, the Father of Time. He...

    D&D 5E Magical Secrets for the Bard that has everything...already covered by other party members :(

    I am in a campaign at level 5 that is very combat intensive (I usually have run out of all spells and BIs well before combat even ends in a day). For this reason I actually dipped a single level in DS Sorcerer (Bard 4/DS Sorcerer 1) for this reason (for Shield, Firebolt/Mind Sliver dmg...

    D&D 5E Mirror Gish? (Echo Knight/Bladesinger)

    Hey everyone, I'm playing a Ghosts of Saltmarsh+ campaign (levels 1-15), and was thinking of an idea to play a gish-type player that bends space & time to aid in combat. So the thought was to use Echo Knight's Manifest Echo to create mirrors of themselves, which could be teleported back and...

    D&D 5E Help deciding Divination Wizard vs. Bladesinger

    In a low level campaign (level 2, going through level 15) was lucky enough to roll a pretty great starting build (9 STR/ 16 DEX/ 16 CON/ 17 INT/ 13 WIS/ 11 CHA) BEFORE applying racial bonuses. I am currently a Divination Wizard, but to be honest am finding it a bit boring. Sure Portent is...

    D&D 5E Tell us of a time when you/your party made an epic(ily stupid) decision, only to have it end up amazing.

    I'm pretty new to playing D&D, but just had my first "Critical Role-ish" level of epic gameplay. It was fun as hell, but for us, completely born out of a decision so utterly idiotic and bereft of common sense, that the outcome had no business being as amazing as it was. So that got me thinking...

    D&D 5E How should I improve my Lore Bard/DS Sorcerer Spell list?

    Hey everyone. First time playing Bard (College of Lore), so I've been leaning HEAVILY on this forum group for advice on build and playstyle. With that in mind, would love some feedback on my planned spell list. While I am only level 4 now, we expect to go to level 15 (maybe more but not...

    D&D 5E Whisper Padlock Build Feedback

    I am new to multiclassing, so looking for some feedback on a potential build I'm considering for my campaign. We are expected to go to level 15, so I will not have access to high level spells or capstones anyways. My idea is to build a Greatsword wielding Whisper Padlock (Vengeance Paladin...
