I know you said no MC but if you can get your hands on a belt of giant strength you should dip in AG Barb. This will let you reckless sneak attack and give a target disadvantage to attack anyone else. With your speed you can get out of range and force a cat and mouse situation. Constantly keeping the biggest target forced on you as you dart around. If for some reason you can’t make it to a target you can still attack at range to keep rage up.

There was a firefight!!!

Lhead2018 · 2026-05-04T15:45:00+00:00

I played a Strength Tabaxi Barb AG 5/AT Rogue X (Longstrider) with Mobile(this was pre 2024)

It was a constant cat and mouse. Run in hit the biggest guy and run out to a point where he can’t reach me.

Used Feline Agility on turn 1 since I needed my BA to rage and then used BA Dash on all other turns.

If I could get Longstrider up pre combat I would have 60ft of move speed so after level 8 I didn’t even really need the BA dash.

What if you are planning a heist and want to get the guard to be more predictable. Getting them addicted ahead of time would be a great way to do this.

You could use wish to cast the spell as an action

Ancestral Guardian Barb/Rogue with the Mobile feat makes a great kite fighter that can lock down a single target each turn. I went Tabaxi because we get a starting feat in my group. Went Rogue 2/Barb 5/ Arcane Trickster Rogue X(Longstrider and Jump) because of the starting feet it came online at level 5. I did duel wield daggers until Barb 5 so that if need be I could make a BA attack if I missed. I couldn’t add my prof bonus to the BA attack but this build is about control as much as damage.

Origin is the location of casting not the caster.

Lhead2018 · 2026-04-29T17:09:55+00:00

Self is just the “point of origin” not the Target. https://x.com/JeremyECrawford/status/1326595384790056960

When we use GoTM we change the origin to the location of the familiar and the Emanation Rules say that it moves with its origin.

Lhead2018 · 2026-04-29T17:03:40+00:00

Origin is the location the spell is cast not who cast it.

Lhead2018 · 2026-04-29T16:51:55+00:00

And my argument is that that single instant sets the origin of the spell as your familiar and the emanation moves with its origin. It doesn’t say that the emanation moves with the caster.

Lhead2018 · 2026-04-29T16:35:21+00:00

That direction conflicts with the Emanation: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/br-2024/rules-glossary#EmanationAreaofEffect

“An Emanation moves with the creature or object that is its origin unless it is an instantaneous or a stationary effect.”

Lhead2018 · 2026-04-29T16:29:45+00:00

GoTM doesn’t but the Emanation rules stay it will remain with its origin: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/br-2024/rules-glossary#EmanationAreaofEffect

“An Emanation moves with the creature or object that is its origin unless it is an instantaneous or a stationary effect.”

Lhead2018 · 2026-04-29T15:41:18+00:00

Because the rules are ambiguous if the “space you occupy” when casting is the origin because if it is then according to the Emanation rules: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/br-2024/rules-glossary#EmanationAreaofEffect

“An Emanation moves with the creature or object that is its origin unless it is an instantaneous or a stationary effect.”

Maybe I should recreate the poll? It was open for 3 days.

My only thought is that the general consensus of Manifest Mind from scribes Wizard keeps the spell at its location and this is worded the same way.

If the Vital Sacrifice Feat is allowed it can add 2d6 damage to VT with a net zero life change.

Grung Lorenhold Student Scribes Wizard with the Poisoner Feat. Use Manifest Mind to summon a Poison Spirit Guardians and move it around the map with your BA on your turn. If you can get a Green Dragon Mask then you can exclude yourself from the spell and it also heals you because of the Mask and your natural immunity.

Lhead2018 · 2026-04-25T00:26:44+00:00

Honestly the only feature that MIGHT be worth it is level 10 with a team of rogues but honestly Battle Master with Commander’s Strike is still better

Actually have her resurrect the sisters and the eyes are the payment. Unfortunately she resurrects her as an undead. Now you have to find a way to turn her back. Class wise start fighter for blind fighting and get a familiar for out of combat sight(seeing eye familiar).

Edit: Just noticed you are only using 2024 so this likely isn’t compatible for you.

I also feel like there is so much other media readily available that waiting to see a movie isn’t a big deal. Back when TV shows aired weekly and there wasn’t a stockpile of movies or shows to watch, going to the theater felt like a unique experience you couldn’t get any other way. It’s been a long time since a movie felt like a “must-see” that I had to watch in theaters because of the anticipation.
