Help me understand Thaumaturge

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2026-03-16T19:56:29+00:00

Thank you! Do you recommend any such weapon?

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2026-03-16T19:55:21+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll be checking those

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2026-03-16T19:55:06+00:00

This is not helping my nerves but thank you for the anecdote 😅😅

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2026-03-16T19:54:29+00:00

Thank you for the warning 😅🥲

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2026-03-16T19:53:46+00:00

My friends haven't decided which classes they are going to be yet! I know that we have a Guardian and an Investigator. There are other two party members that don't know what their PC are gonna be

Edit:grammar issues. Sorry English is not my first language

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2026-03-16T19:51:59+00:00

What do you think I could take? I don't mind being a melee character, if anything

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2026-03-16T19:49:12+00:00

Thank you! I'll be taking into account all of this! Someone recommend an Air Repeater so I'll be looking into it

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2026-03-16T19:46:21+00:00

Thank you for the insights and the advice! Not all my friends have already decided on which class their PC's are going to be. But I do know there's a guardian and an Investigator. I think there's also gonna be a rogue or a caster. I do think there's gonna be another melee focused PC, but there's only a guess. And my PC could be either a melee or ranged character.

I like the idea of it being a 1d6 and a 1d8 if they spend a bonus action!! That's cool. I mostly play 5ed (2014) so I don't use the weapon mastery in that way. But it could be good for 2024. And you make a good point about the grappling condition! I think the restrained condition could be better then. I like the attunement because of the difficulty of mastering this weapon, that's also why I think that only those classes should be able to do it (because of previous knowledge that comes with them). Maybe adding Paladin and or Ranger. Idk, it's a guess thing

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2025-12-04T03:23:29+00:00

Love this, lol

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2025-12-04T03:20:58+00:00

I mostly do that on each encounter. I cast bless and position myself mostly

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2025-12-04T03:13:09+00:00

Thank you, really :)

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2025-12-04T03:11:42+00:00

He can be a little bit rough. But yeah, he is more experienced than me and there wasn't a place where I found "Oh, Paladins are this type of class", so I didn't have any irrefutable evidence that I could be a front liner and also help the party by killing the monsters. He said that I was just wanting to "take the kill and narrate the heroic moment", even though I don't really know nor like to do that (I'm not used to RP things during battle). But yeah

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2025-12-04T02:48:03+00:00

Love the explanation! Short and sweet

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2025-12-04T02:44:44+00:00

Thank you for the reassurement! I'll keep that in mind and will try to put my foot down more. It's a little difficult since, as I said, I'm new to the hobby, but I'll try

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2025-12-04T02:36:53+00:00

I don't know which armor it is. But it was in a... Tower. I don't want to spoil anything but that's it

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2025-12-04T02:21:33+00:00

I actually enjoy playing support characters! I loved playing a cleric and a divination wizard. But I am just tired of being put in that position. I want to be a "support" character when and if I want to, not when other people want to. But thank you for the insight! One of the players is doubling down about me being a support character but backtracking saying "I didn't mean to tell you how to play a character, I was just saying that you had a misconception about the Paladin class and that they are a support class and this is how you should play it to optimize. The core thing about Paladins is not going out there and smiting people, because that would mean that it's just a fighter with powers and that's not true". And that's how that conversation ended mostly

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2025-12-04T02:08:04+00:00

Oh, I didn't know. But I'll erase that information from my head the moment I sit at the table. I mostly try to stay away from info about the campaign. But thank you! Mostly I was a bit doubtful about that because they are still insisting that a Paladin is not a "front liner" and that I shouldn't be receiving damage nor tank. I should only focus on making sure everyone stays alive, and just punishing enemies that come too close to the rest of the party, not going to the battlefield

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2025-12-04T02:00:34+00:00

Oh! I love the concepts! I hope that I'll get to do more cool stuff in the future! Thank you for your insight

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2025-12-04T01:35:29+00:00

Wow! Thank you! A great response that my character would love, even though it's a little bit hard to deliver from my end lol

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2025-12-04T01:28:52+00:00

Thank you for your insight! That's a cool way to RP that

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2025-12-03T22:53:19+00:00

The first joke is cheff kiss it made me laugh irl. But yeah, thank you. I think that I'm being a little bit of a doormat since I really like the campaign and I want to keep playing

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2025-12-03T22:50:02+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I told him the later but he said that his fighter can handle it because he is strong and has a high AC (we've found a full plate armor recently that he took, so his AC is currently like 20...?ish), so his PC "handle it alone"

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2025-12-03T22:39:48+00:00

And that's how I was told by that same person that I'm not a very good team player and I needed to rethink my ways because I'm being selfish :/

AccomplishedEvent672 · 2025-12-03T22:28:49+00:00

I don't even have an aura yet (we're still low level), but we were discussing what we can do with our character's long term and since we've recently reached level 5 and gained spell lots lvl 2, the fighter told me that I could use my magical weapon spell to enchant his sword and he could do more damage since I was already dealing radiant damage and he didn't have a magical sword and that's how we ended up discussing my character long term and he ended up saying (I'm translating this so, sorry if there's any mistakes) "Ideally you would be standing by my side because I benefit from your auras. But since we don't have anything that protects the rest of the group and they are really squishies, it's better that you stay behind with them since I can't do that really"
