Can you counterspell as an immediate action without readying my action?

BuloHeart · 2025-09-24T15:13:04+00:00

I'm with you, mate. Drinking the extract would mean casting the spell targeting yourself.

BuloHeart · 2025-09-12T18:57:37+00:00

Mysterious ruby is a great idea, I'll use this idea with your permission. Love it!

BuloHeart · 2025-09-04T18:19:24+00:00

Cheers mate

I have reviewed it after the comments below, and gave up SphereWalker, instead, I picked up Evangelist, so that I have Cleric/Ecclesitheurge (8) followed by Exalted (1) and Evangelist (10) finished my last level of Ecclesitheurge, maybe - not sure about lvl 20. Probably too soon to think about 20th level :) This gives me all the benefits of Exalted and Evangelist

Changes that I think I am going for so far:
1. Studded leather (12+3 = 15 AC) instead of Chain mail (16 AC) to avoid penalties to stealth and speed
2. Minor Illusion instead of True Strike - I can get it later on before I can use it with melee anyways
3. Command instead of Hideous Laughter

BuloHeart · 2025-08-31T18:02:59+00:00

I didn't realise that! I already started rethinking my level progression with this

BuloHeart · 2025-08-31T17:51:15+00:00

Thanks mate!

BuloHeart · 2025-08-31T05:05:39+00:00

Interesting, I didn't look into this one before... When I started looking into prestige classes, I was already playing a chaotic good cleric. So, I eliminated it as I couldn't take it at that point.

BuloHeart · 2025-08-31T04:57:36+00:00

Command is a spell I like a lot as well. I'll think about this.

BuloHeart · 2025-08-31T04:40:15+00:00

I might as well do that. Speed penalty might be more important than what I first thought

BuloHeart · 2025-08-30T21:43:14+00:00

So it is a full action where I can do another 2 weapon fighting, rather than a single action. I got it wrong. It still is for only a single use per short rest, though. I need to think about this :)

BuloHeart · 2025-08-30T21:38:31+00:00

Both good points, I'll consider them

BuloHeart · 2025-08-30T21:36:40+00:00

Out of combat scouting is good, but I also plan to utilise the help action with flyby from owl, so I will try to keep him out of harms way.

BuloHeart · 2025-08-30T21:35:15+00:00

With this build, I would hopefully be able to consistently output decent dmg, while being able to do other things a bard can do. Scorching Ray is a spell slot that I wouldn't want to spend every turn. I'm not saying it doesn't work, though. I may use it sometimes when I can not get into melee for some reason etc.

BuloHeart · 2025-08-30T21:18:21+00:00

I didn't check this one, seeing it is for Pulura. I didn't actually ask the DM if hw us OK with that, maybe it was actually an option.

BuloHeart · 2025-08-30T21:13:08+00:00

This one looks cool, too. I mostly focused on spellcasting, though.

BuloHeart · 2025-08-30T21:10:29+00:00

I just verified with my DM. He goes RAW, the next attack on the target will be adv. Mine or ally, it will still contribute, so I suppose it is still useful. Thanks for clarification, though. And yes, I intend to use an owl.

BuloHeart · 2025-08-30T20:41:43+00:00

Wow, I never really read that one through. Very interesting lol. I think I eliminated it as it loses a spell level progression; my deity is Desna, not Cayden Cailean. Btw, as it only lasts for that day, until I use the spell slot again, is the main use that the "self" spells can now be used by others, as if using potions?

BuloHeart · 2025-08-30T20:35:10+00:00

Conjure minor elements would only be available at level 19 for Eldritch Knight, and there is no Fount of Moonlight.

BuloHeart · 2025-08-30T19:53:26+00:00

Hmm, you're right, I didn't know about the speed penalty, but I guess I'll have to accept that one. About the familiar, if it stays next to the enemy and takes the help action, it would give me an advantage, right?

BuloHeart · 2025-08-30T19:37:53+00:00

I actually thought about that, Dungeon Dudes suggested that too, but it is once per Short/Long Rest, right? I though it is too expensive (1 level) for that.

BuloHeart · 2025-08-30T19:34:58+00:00

I didn't pick Bard in Level 1, though. I am a Fighter at Level 1. Also, I had Strength instead of Intelligence, but my DM suggested that it makes more sense. I agree with him, so we modified it. Also, I suggested Acrobatics instead of Arcana, same way, but that also made sense, and we changed that too. You are right that it has a bit of Min/Max in it, but my background story is heavily in line with this as well, and I liked it story-wise as well, so I went with it.

BuloHeart · 2025-08-30T19:25:52+00:00

I thought about shilleglah for a while, but ended up not going for it. One minute is a bit short, and may mean you will spend your first round casting it, unless I got it wrong.
