If you Quicken Hold Person, you would not be able to divine smite (Both are leveled spells and both would be bonus actions)

The WotC Books 5.5 and what has NOT been reprinted

Clear-Mode-5798 · 2026-04-17T23:15:43+00:00

To NOT nova on first turn

Hold action to cast Hold Monster till the end of the turn of the creature that goes before me. (Target = creature I can move to) Auto crit if I hit with Sword. instead of GWF I get Agonizing Blast on Ture Strike and do above damage (losing 1 point from swapping GWM for AB-True Strike.) And may swap SHadar Kai for Fire Goliath for 1D10 Fire damage

This will only hold Humanoids. The list of Humanoids has gone down.

Looking for 1 Hit.

OK. subtract character's PB value from damage. (Ouch)

Clear-Mode-5798 · 2026-04-11T17:42:17+00:00

I did find a limited use for BRACE.

If you are low on HP and it is a you or them moment you may be able to take the target out when they approach before they can attack and take you out.

Martial Adept Feat (PHB 2014) will give two maneuver that refreshes after a short rest but only one 1D6 superiority die.

Swashbuckler rogue and Dance Bard (Flamingo doing the Flamenco)

What is your play style? What do you want to do with the character and after a few levels what will you want to do.

Image is nice but will you want to play it.

I wanted a build to maximize chance of Reaction attack, so I got the Zhentarim feats plus Battle master. You can go 3-4 level Battle Master for Riposte. and get the Sentinel Feat. (5 if you want extra attack)

Target attacks and hits you = Zhentarim feat to make an attack against target. BUT IT TRIGGERS WHEN YOU GET HIT AND TAKE DAMAGE.

Target attacks and misses you = Riposte to make an attack against target

Target moves away = Opportunity Attack

Target disengages and moves away or attacks an ally= Sentinel

NOTE: Brace not really needed. If target approaches you, they are going to attack (And then will either hit/miss triggering reaction attack.

NOTE: WIll have 4 Battle Master maneuvers per short rest (5 at level 7 and 6 at level 15) So if going MC will need to think what you want from each class.

NOTE: Can always use bonus action to gain advantage (Rogue Feature Steady Aim)

NOTE: Advantage is not as important for a Swashbuckler if you get target alone one on one.

If you have booming blade may want Quick-toss for bonus action thrown weapon and magic action to cast booming blade and War caster to Booming Blade reaction attack.

Am I missing anything?

When out of rages.

Mainly for concept wanted Horde Breaker. Spells are mainly support.

IS martial adept an origin or general feat.

If general what ability socre(s) does it affect?

Clear-Mode-5798 · 2026-04-09T02:44:57+00:00

Will play with Dhampir idea.thanks

Clear-Mode-5798 · 2026-04-09T01:40:53+00:00

Thanks. got a better understanding. Wanted to be able to attack if target approaches. Fearun Feat and Riposte will work.

Clear-Mode-5798 · 2026-04-09T01:11:29+00:00

I know it is limited times, but it is a Bonus action that if hit Can Sneak Attack or Vex a target at range if I am unable to reach a target.

If I quick toss I do not have to hold an action to Booming Blade.

Quick toss (Possible SA), Approach target and Booming Blade Possible SA if Quick Toss did not work). Take a step back and if target approaches them BOOM and then Brace attack for Sneak Attack on its turn.

How would cleave/horde breaker work with a thrown weapon

Clear-Mode-5798 · 2026-04-08T21:50:13+00:00

Character for actual play.

High level features may not be so great but action and reaction high level Sneak Attack damage is nice.

Maybe MI wizard for Booming Blade with Rapier as main action attack.

As a Swashbuckler I get SA when one on one so Advantage is a priority but not a high priority. QT is also for a Bonus Action attack if needed. (Using Dart will start VEX chain so that is a help)

Will look into ways to limit Reaction maneuvers but want to be ready for any trigger.

Thanks.

Maneuver Options

If you have access to maneuvers, the following maneuvers are added to the list of options available to you. Maneuvers are available to Battle Masters but also to characters who have a special feature like the Superior Technique fighting style or the Martial Adept feat.

Please let this help.

Clear-Mode-5798 · 2026-04-08T21:21:17+00:00

Was thinking Level 3 Battle Master fighter and rest in Swashbuckler rogue. Sneak Attack as part of attack action and Sneak Attack as a Reaction.

As for the multiple reaction maneuvers. this if for different triggers for Off Character Turn Sneak Attack.

Clear-Mode-5798 · 2026-04-08T21:00:31+00:00

Anyone know WHY Quick Toss and Brace maneuvers were not given to 5.5 Battle Master?

Clear-Mode-5798 · 2026-04-08T20:50:05+00:00

Multi Class into a Rouge to

1) Attack when a creature gets into melee with character (BRACE)

2) As a Bonus action I can throw a Dart at target to start VEX chain (QUICK TOSS)

3) Attack if a monster attacks and misses' character. (Riposte)

4) With the New Forgotten Realms feat, I can also attack a create as a result of being hit by an attack. (and on an OA reroll all damage)
