I have a Fighter character and want to multiclass into Barbarian. Our current campaign goes up to level 6, and we plan to play a follow-up campaign with the same characters, so the planning needs to extend beyond level 6. My questions are: Which Fighter subclass should I choose, given that I’ve just reached level 3? At what level should I multiclass into Barbarian?
Here I come with a question that I never thought I’d have to ask:
What is better, a free Feat or a free Very Rare Wondrous Item?
For context, my GM yesterday had a NPC offer our party of level 12 characters a choice drinking some wine that tastes horrendous, but would reveal talents we wouldn’t have pursued otherwise (a free Feat), or pick from his collection of high quality magical items, 100% safe (we get to pick a Very Rare Magic Item from an official source).
I, as a Lore Bard, am having a hard time choosing, because Feats are good, but Very Rare Items are not something I often get, let alone get to choose.
So, players and GMs of Reddit, what do you think is more interesting between a Feat or a Very Rare Magic Item?
As added relevant context, my Charisma's at 22, I already have an Amulet of Health, an armour that scales off of both Charisma and Dexterity, and an instrument that gives me +2 to spell attack and DC and allows me to give Bardic Inspiration when I teleport as an Astral Elf. Also, if I take any Feat that would increase a stat, I don't get the stat increase.
EDIT: My GM tells me I wouldn't have time to benefit from the Tome of Leadership and Influence, as I thought. The campaign pretty much ends in two or three in-game days.
EDIT 2: Because someone seems to have changed the flair of my post, I'll specify here: This is a 5E game, no 5.5E items or feats.
I've been making characters for DND for three years 33 years. I made the basic combos with multi classing range bard Ranger rogue, etc. I want ideas for multi classing maximum of two classes three if it's easy to build up to an actual campaign, I want a character idea with multi classing for two classes that should not work together, either stat, wise gameplay wise, etc., and I want to smash them together, for example, barbarian sorcerer
Hi! I'm planning to make a wood elf type sorcerer who can use finger of death. I'm planning to use the finger of death to commit a small genocide and make myself an undead army. I also want the ability to use shadow blade and proficiency with daggers and use sneak or invisiblity in the dark. However I'm kinda new to 5e and dont know how I can make that happen. Any ideas?
My questions are on level split and progression (Going Battle Master/Swashbuckler for Duelist themed character) - Will be rapier fighter so not doing the Scimitar/Short Sword routine (If I can help it)
If I do not get a magic weapon with a damage boost (Vicious) Goto level 11? (for 3 attacks)
If I do get a magic weapon with a Damage boost Level 5/6? (For 2 attacks)
Since going fencer more than Sneak/Scout go Fighter first?
Go straight to level 5/6 before rogue? How to progress from level 1.
I need something that is good early that has a balance of melee and magical attacks the only reason I’ve resorted to this is cus the last two were really bad builds I probably will have to do a ton of small things to fight. I would like a bard multi class ideally also I’m putting this on a 5e sheet but using what ever version
I mean this with full seriousness I am trying to play as the propeller hat dog and I have like zero clue how to fill out my character sheet to get it as close as I can. (I'm pretty new to d&d) But my DM said if I can figure it out then they'll let me use it
So I'm playing a lvl 3 variant human vengeance paladin with the stats (rolled)
16 str
13 dex
14 con
11int
11wis
15char
I took PAM as my feat from my race, and I'm just looking for some ideas on how to continue building my character, such as feats/multiclassing. I don't really wanna do a hexadin, but I do want to pick the next best option, but I'm not sure what that is. Any ideas?
Hello, I have an idea for a character but I’m not sure how to do it. I’m wanting to combine a drake warden so that I can be a dragon rider, but I also think it would be cool to be a Druid that uses dragon shape. I love the idea of riding my dragon into battle, and then transforming into one and fighting side by side. Is there a way to multi-class this into existence?
