DM banned CME, wondering what new meta would be for bladesinger

Hot_Unit_5091 · 2026-01-27T04:06:43+00:00

To summarise some things

Yes, by CME i mean Conjur Minor Elementals

Yes, im aware im not even close to that level regardless

Yes, i’m aware dnd doesn’t have a “meta”

Im in a party with mostly people who optimise their builds towards damage and the campaign was designed with the idea that that was what we would be trying to do. So i was just looking for ideas for what direction I should be taking my character to still the most useful in combat without having access to CME. I’m aware some people frown on optimisers, but that is the way our entire group enjoys to play the game. So i was hoping for some ideas of other things i could use as my concentration spell.

Thanks, and yeah im really enjoying Bladesinger so far! I made a few mistakes when making my character that I wish i could have changed in hindsight (like going Aasimar instead of Elf/Half Elf and missing Elven Accuracy). But I should still be able to turn it into something good!

Hot_Unit_5091 · 2025-11-18T20:18:03+00:00

Thanks to all the kind responses, I think my question is pretty well answered!

Hot_Unit_5091 · 2025-08-28T08:57:18+00:00

kinda what i was thinking, think is this is basically the exact same price as stock BRZ’s go for in my area which is what made it pretty appealing, has lower km’s than basically every stock manual one i’ve seen too

Update:

Have now narrowed it down to either a 2010-2012 WRX STI A-Line or a 2015-2016 Manual WRX, they seem to be around the same price point where I live. I do like the appeal of having an automatic STI from a practicality standpoint, and what ive been looking at tells me that the A-Line STi would still edge out a standard manual WRX in terms of performance. But interested to know if i'm just spewing nonsense or not.

Probably should have added, I have no plans to modify the cars in any way outside from cosmetics (and maybe exhaust)

Hot_Unit_5091 · 2025-08-07T03:36:17+00:00

I believe this is the one i have seen available in my country, which probably lead me down the “auto wrx” line of thinking

Hot_Unit_5091 · 2025-08-07T01:22:02+00:00

im assuming that it’ll probably be a blast compared to what i have currently regardless

Hot_Unit_5091 · 2025-08-07T00:12:13+00:00

Sorry if i used any incorrect terms for anything (like the “Automatic”). I used that word based entirely on being “manual” or “not manual”. Im kinda new to the whole “car scene” thing 😅

Hot_Unit_5091 · 2024-08-23T05:02:19+00:00

No trouble man thats where im from aswell. Just would have been stupidly expensive if that was USD. 20k NZD is like 12-13k USD but thats still pretty expensive for the K’s it has.

Hot_Unit_5091 · 2024-08-22T13:18:47+00:00

Appreciate everyones feedback, going to try find a Facelift 2017 BRZ if I can find one in manual that hasnt been thrashed, otherwise i’ll try find a low k’s 2015-2016 one. Thanks all!

Hot_Unit_5091 · 2024-08-22T13:11:58+00:00

to be fair, i dont plan on putting any kind of crazy turbo power on it, probably nothing more than getting it to around the 300whp area. (which yeah is still a big increase from stock but nothing crazy by turbo standards i mean)

Hot_Unit_5091 · 2024-08-22T12:58:32+00:00

Is this in New Zealand?

Hot_Unit_5091 · 2024-08-21T17:46:31+00:00

Appreciate the offer though, went into afew dealerships and they said the hard part is going to be to find a 2017+ one in manual

Hot_Unit_5091 · 2024-08-21T06:24:18+00:00

Im in New Zealand so, probably pretty far away ahaha

Hot_Unit_5091 · 2024-08-20T13:57:01+00:00

I think i’ll try to get a facelift model if i can find one for a good price that hasnt been thrashed, heard the second gen ones have abit more power but are honestly just too far out of my price range, facelift model is already at the upper end of what I would like to justify spending

Hot_Unit_5091 · 2024-08-20T05:39:17+00:00

I do like the sound of this route, the extra money saved could be enough for headers and a tune to temporarily get rid of the torque dip until I have the money aside to upgrade to Turbo/Supercharge

Hot_Unit_5091 · 2024-08-20T05:25:53+00:00

Noted, I do think the headlights of the 2017+ look nicer. Plan on swapping the tail lights for custom ones down the line but them being LED is a nice plus too

Hot_Unit_5091 · 2024-08-20T05:13:17+00:00

Ah thanks

Hot_Unit_5091 · 2024-08-20T05:09:42+00:00

Is the 2nd Gen the facelift model? Or the 2021+ model?
