So we've started a playthrough with some friends of mine and one of them's really dissapointed with how weak her wizard is right now. Like it's only lvl 3 and she's using necromancy with a kinda default build, but like she is like REALLY weak. In *any* possible fight it is a real challenge for her to do literally anything, basically, cause.. she's either dead or silenced (upd: charmed. I'm a fcking idiot. It was just a really long encounter for us withg the harpies, apparently because we weren't... lucky enough, so I just made an example out of it, sorry for misinforming :D). Most of the time it's really that bad and I just can't see how upset she is about her choice (she really likes wizards in general but this thing... yeah, it really gets her).

So.. what could be done? Just any words of advice, I'd really appreciate it!

It's my first run and I'm trying to make an archer focused on ranged attacks with bows, who wears light armor and can do SOME melee damage with a knife/dual knives. Think something like Legolas from LOTR. Currently I'm level 7 and in Grymforge so no spoilers please.

So far I'm a 20 dex, 8 str Battle Master Fighter and at this level or the next it feels like if I'm gonna multiclass at all, this is the time to do it. Currently I think my character's lacking proficiency in stuff like sleight of hand and some dialogue stuff like persuasion, so I'm looking at going into rogue, potentially for thief or swashbuckler, though I'm not really interested in doing stealth in combat.

I've seen people recommending me swords bard for this and I feel like that wouldn't fit my character so I'm looking for other options, which I guess includes just staying battle master till 12.

Hello,

I have a multiplayer game coming up, and I would like to play as a self-aggrandizing jerk of a wizard who is willing to do almost anything for power, and I would like to sacrifice my wizard's body to do it. I happen to know that there are several ways to maim your character for bonuses, mostly the brand of the absolute, Volo's eye, and the astral tadpole.

What are some other ways I can butcher myself for power boosts? Is there anything obvious or thematic that I'm missing? If I could lose a leg for an extra spell slot that would be great.

I've solo'd the game with all the martial classes now. The closest I've come to using a caster is a bardadin and a sorcadin, but they don't really count as I'm just using the slots for my smites.

I want to run a full caster, but each time I try, I end up dead, and normally before leaving Act I. I struggle with the low AC and lack of crit protection of full casters, which means one lucky shot from an enemy is enough to end the run there and then.

Any advice on a build, and special tactics I should use,

Now that The Odyssey is in theaters and as someone who has read both the Iliad, The Odyssey, and The Song of Achilles I am thinking of running a roleplay game featuring Achilles and Patroclus.

Any build ideas? A safe choice for Achilles might be at least 11 levels of Fighter / 1 level of Cleric, and maybe a Cleric build for Patroclus. I’m planning to play my Tav as Achilles and have Gale as Patroclus. Even though their personalities are quite different, I don't really know who else could fit the role while still allowing for a romance option.

For the setup, I'm thinking medium armor + shield, taking the Sharpshooter feat, and using a spear as the main weapon.

May not be optimal but would it be a good combination, specifically on a ranger warlock?

I’m running a Hald-orc, so it seems hexadin would fit better. But I’m also wondering if barlock would be better for CC, since I have none.

Thinking sword bard and hexblade fit CC? And I’m not sure it matter the subclass if I go the Paladin route.

So im gonna run chaos divine soul (its great) but in deciding in my second class, frozen wild paladin, conquest, vengeance, maybe even the night bringer mod, any suggestions? (Aldo running it to level 20, and need kinda gear and spell list)

I saw that theres like 0 guides for spanish people, both honour mode guides and build guides are mostly in english... So i wanted to make a yt channel to make a "How to beat honour mode easily" kind of series and i wanted to make a strong team that wouldnt have a problem beating the game. I was thinking about...

Bardadin (10 Swords bard/2paladin vengeance)

Firesorc(11draconic sorc /1 fiend warlock)

Death cleric (8death cleric/2 necro wizard/ 2 Sorc

Some kind of rogue multiclass with ranger like

(7 horde breaker ranger /3 thief/ 2 fighter)

Is it good enought or do yall miss something?
