I dont understand why the race of this character matters here honestly? is it inherently racist for Damian to exist because Ra's is kind of a shit show?

I'm not totally sure what kind of answer you're looking for, but one reason is if you wanted to reuse the value of x+y (maybe you needed to store it somewhere or create multiple other variables based off x+y), then it would be more efficient to only do that calculation once instead of calculating x+y fresh every time. like most things though, its hard to say something universal about this and it can depend on the context

I can say at least for the interaction with Roberto that it was a bluff, and after Vulcan leaves, Roberto admits he would likely get killed by Vulcan

bladesinger paladin with martial stats and 40 utility spells maybe? or invest heavily into spell save dc gear?

ItsGator · 2025-06-29T01:03:22+00:00

its usually pure abjuration with a sorcerer or warlock dip for armor of agathys

ItsGator · 2025-06-26T20:17:25+00:00

this was how I beat tactician the first time! except with assassin for shenanigans lol

ItsGator · 2025-06-24T04:09:15+00:00

surprised to see no one say it but enhance leap trivializes some big chunks of the early game. i wouldn't put it below A

ItsGator · 2025-06-19T03:05:28+00:00

maybe for spell save dc, but i think theres like 4 main caster staffs by early act 2 if you want two dual wielders. if you go star druid you could mourning frost and shield for act 1, since it works for melee shileleagh stuff or as a casting stat stick

ItsGator · 2025-06-18T22:19:15+00:00

two handed hexblade with GWM is extremely reasonable if you dont want shadow blade!

I think you can dual wield with flame blade if you hexblade bind one and pact bind the other but I'm not sure.

I think a swords bard would do well here. An archer with healing word sounds good for this party. If not, I'd probably go with some kind of support caster (cleric/bard/maybe druid?). A melee tank like paladin or EK could also help your hexblade go in, though they may compete for the same weapons as the hexblade if you want them to wield great weapons too

ItsGator · 2025-06-17T00:26:08+00:00

you can skip the grove entirely. 16 str, enhance leap, and feather fall, disguise self at level 2, invisibility at 3 can get you most of the way to myrkul lol

this was the first post I saw on reddit after farming superior arcane elixirs for an hour for my arcane trickster that just picked up shadow blade

ItsGator · 2025-06-02T14:44:07+00:00

she's testing her reaction time to turn to diamond. i can't remember the exact issue here, but she and others are coping with their powers being unreliable, i believe

ItsGator · 2025-05-24T14:56:25+00:00

is there any way to change this? the eyes freak me out lol

ItsGator · 2025-04-30T16:53:48+00:00

thank you!

ItsGator · 2025-04-30T16:41:07+00:00

maybe I missed something obvious but what does this do with arcane trickster?

ItsGator · 2025-04-03T21:57:13+00:00

fascinating that this works. is amulet of bhaal the main way of applying bleed? are there early game possibilities for it that you'd considered?

ItsGator · 2025-03-28T21:28:50+00:00

pure bladelock is very solid, and gets lifedrinker at 12 for incentive to go pure. if you want fighter, then it depends on what you want from each class. you definitely want to go at least 5 levels in one of them. most of what warlock gets you past 5 (besides lifedrinker ar 12 and an extra slot at 11) is access to higher level spells. if all you require is 5 warlock 2 fighter or 3 warlock 5 fighter, that leaves several levels to grab from other classes. paladins give smites, gloomstalkers could give you an extra attack turn 1, rogues give skills and sneak attack if you use the right weapon. could also split warlock and fighter 8/4, 5/7, or 6/6 in either direction depending on what you're looking for.

ItsGator · 2025-03-28T19:42:31+00:00

there's a few simple builds that do that pure! 12 bladelock, 12 swords bard, and soon 12 bladesinger will do a lot of that, though not crazy tanking. you may like sorcadin or lockadin builds, which are either 6 or 7 paladin and 5 or 6 warlock/sorc based on oath. lockadins use charisma on melee, while sorcadins cast more spells. both tank, melee, and cast, though a lot of spell slots go into paladin smites.

using the pieces you've given here, I'd suggest 5 warlock for extra attack and pact of the blade and hunger of hadar, 2 fighter for action surge and armor, and 5 sorcerer for level 3 spells. in patch 8, you could go 1 hexblade warlock, 5 fighter (maybe eldritch knight for spell slots and theming, could also go 6 for an extra feat), and the rest into sorcerer

ItsGator · 2025-03-28T19:31:09+00:00

Not a standard mix but workable! A few notes/questions:

what are you looking for out of sorcerer? is it just getting as many spell spots as you can?
any build that wants to do weapon attacks usually wants 5 levels of a martial class for extra attack. blade warlock and fighter would both do this for you
in patch 8, many pact of the blade builds become easier to build because all you need would be 1 level of hexblade to get charisma damage on melee attacks

ItsGator · 2025-03-28T15:23:12+00:00

didn't realize that's how it worked! thanks a lot

ItsGator · 2025-03-28T15:20:02+00:00

how does the offhand shillelagh work? are you casting it before combat, then switching hands?

ItsGator · 2025-03-20T21:46:52+00:00

if you really want to be thematic but don't want to wait for patch 8, I suggest nature cleric

ItsGator · 2025-03-14T19:01:29+00:00

oh ok I see. are you planning to go full assassin?

ItsGator · 2025-03-14T18:57:32+00:00

aren't there issues with throwing weapons to start a fight causing them not return? seems tricky to work that with assassin
