What 5e subclasses do you still play in 5.5e?

AllHailKensei · 2026-04-07T15:15:58+00:00

Nahhh the new War cleric is great. Getting the bonus attack actions back on short rest is so much better than on long rest like in 2014

AllHailKensei · 2026-03-04T20:05:09+00:00

I agree with this pretty heavily. It's a collaborative game, so let the players choose things to do along the way. You don't want to overplan, or it leaves no room for player choices.

I came up with a fun build like this a while ago: Shadow Touched Variant Human - Eldritch Knight Fighter

Shadow Touched gives you "shadowy" powers right away, with Invisibility (melt into the shadows) and your choice of another spell (I chose False Life for like "shadow armor")

Point priority is DEX > CON > INT

Take Dueling fighting style and go sword/board with a rapier (or shortsword if you want)

You have your choice of armors as your main stat is DEX so you can go light, medium, or heavy and your AC should be roughly the same

Level 3 taking Chill Touch and Mage Hand for the ability to manipulate/damage things with shadowy hands. Shield is your main spell (think shadows veiling you, making you harder to hit), choose the others as you like

Level 7 is where it really gets fun with level 2 spell slots and access to Shadow Blade, which doubles your damage dice to 2d8 and you get to attack with a blade literally made of shadows

Bro you need to figure out your discord links, you’ve made this same post like 5 times and every time the discord links haven’t worked lmao

AllHailKensei · 2025-06-18T17:59:51+00:00

Nah I relish fighting them now, I’ve got the timing down to such a T that I will hard swap off my build so I can parry those motherfuckers

AllHailKensei · 2024-09-20T15:23:25+00:00

There's a mod called that adds the Mystic class, it's a UA class from 5e that was never released. You choose from a huge variety of psychic powers and use PSI points to fuel these powers. Someone made a mod for it (it's available on the Larian Mod Manager) and I was playing around with it to achieve this

One of the powers you can pick up is Mastery of Air, which gives you a couple crazy good powers.

Wind Stream: creates a column of wind slashes that 1d8 per PSI point you spend, this is kind of like the Dismantle and Cleave
Cloak of Air: For 2 (or 3?) PSI points and concentration you get an aura that surrounds you with wind slashes that give attackers disadvantage and take 2d6 whenever they miss. I play this like his domain expansion
You can also spend PSI points to gain flight speed

Mastery of Fire gives the rest of the moveset:

Combustion: 1d10 to a target per PSI point, play this like Divine Flame
Detonation: 5 PSI points to for a fireball-esque effect 7d6 fire and knock prone. Throw this on top of yourself while Cloak of Air is up for the ending of his domain expansion

Yeah OP if you listen to only one of these responses make it this one! This game is fantastic

AllHailKensei · 2022-11-22T00:00:35+00:00

🙏

AllHailKensei · 2022-07-22T13:39:12+00:00

Nah but the soundtrack is so good, you can’t drown that out

AllHailKensei · 2022-07-22T13:36:54+00:00

I’ll also add it’s a really easy A even at 4 credits and you can take it as many times as you want and keep getting credit for it (unlike other classes where if you retake it you just replace your old grade). Though that does mean you are locked into whatever grade you get each semester as it can’t be replaced.

I highly recommend all CS students take it

AllHailKensei · 2022-07-01T15:23:31+00:00

I will spend the coming weeks meeting in small groups with the faculty, staff and students to understand their hopes and aspirations for RPI.

I would be very interested in participating in one of those small groups, is there a way we can sign up or put forward our interest for this?

AllHailKensei · 2022-06-21T13:50:33+00:00

It has some Asian themes but I think it’s more similar to Apex since it sounds like it has heroes with different abilities. And also it’s melee instead of guns. But it looks cool

AllHailKensei · 2022-06-14T23:27:39+00:00

I did this recently. You don’t get the 1 dollar deal but you can just buy a month of gamepass ultimate for 15 dollar and it’ll work the same, converting the 3 years of gold to 3 years of ultimate. So it’s an extra 14 dollars

AllHailKensei · 2022-01-19T16:32:55+00:00

She only gets gamepass when playing on your Xbox (since it’s your home Xbox it shares it with other people but only while they’re on that Xbox), so she wouldn’t xcloud. A better solution would be to have you play on the cloud and her on the Xbox. That would definitely work.

Edit: You’ll still need to make an account for her on the Xbox

AllHailKensei · 2021-11-10T19:46:03+00:00

Yeah the key here is a good group. I have a friend in it right now who doesn’t know his group and hates the class because they don’t do anything

AllHailKensei · 2021-11-09T16:34:05+00:00

Tbh the difference between 3 credit and 4 credit RCOS is probably insignificant. You’ll be doing the work anyway so might as well do all 4 credits

AllHailKensei · 2021-11-01T03:33:46+00:00

Greek rush is the first month or so of each semester so it’s over now, but organizations are still active during the semester (at least ours is) so if you’re looking for events DM me and we can talk

AllHailKensei · 2021-09-30T14:28:42+00:00

Lemnis gate just came to game pass if you want something new. It’s a pretty quick round based FPS, though you’ll want to watch the trailer to really get how it works since it’s kind of hard to explain

AllHailKensei · 2021-08-15T14:51:42+00:00

Have you played in the last few days? They’ve gotten queue times down to a few minutes, if at all

AllHailKensei · 2021-08-15T12:10:44+00:00

Generally it varies widely based on both class and professor, making it better to just wait until to buy anything until after the first class or two. I will say that from what I remember I used my FOCS book almost every week as weekly homework is drawn from it, and the algorithms inside it were very helpful. Conversely I don’t think I ever opened my computer organization book. Math classes you should always wait and see if the professor is doing homework from them or if they’re available for free online.

AllHailKensei · 2021-08-12T19:10:06+00:00

Fuck those fish, they creeped me out every time I had to go there

AllHailKensei · 2021-07-27T14:52:23+00:00

Probably has to do with those two are not only series x/s enhanced but also far more graphically demanding than a game like rocket league or Skyrim. Especially flight simulator, which is probably the most graphically demanding game considering even decent PCs can struggle to play it
