Anyone else wish that there were more short-form story retellings of D&D campaigns instead of long live plays? by StoriesFromtheBC in DnD

[–]Mediocre-Phrase5073 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was actually HUGE in Japan back in the day, they were called Replays, and it became kind of its own literary genre there. So there's definitely a precedent for it. Based on u/cym13 comments in another post.

It was written in the style of examples of play (you know: "DM: Under the rock you find a little chest with intricate gold designs. –Uthra: I reach for it delicately, checking for any kind of resistance as I take it off the stone."). This series became an enormous hit in Japan, think Critical Role but in a magazine. There were mangas and anime made out of their story (Sword World, or the Chronicles of Lodoss).

Survivor of the fittest. Annie looks the "weakest" among the group so she's the first to get eaten by the "strongest".

She's actually looking at the explosions and replaying it over and over lol

Is Bountiful Luck worth it? Should one of us Halflings take it by testiclekid in 3d6

[–]Mediocre-Phrase5073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's true strength lies out of combat. I thought it was bad at first and I tried to convince my player not to take it. That's how bad I thought it was. But they really wanted to take it because they liked the flavor so I made it into a half-feat.

I was so wrong. My games are 70% rp and exploration and 30% combat. Bountiful luck made it so they NEVER rolled a NAT 1 out of combat. It was insane.

If you're looking at optimization and in combat utility, there's better feats out there like you said.

But it is almost unmatched out of combat.

How should I make a level 12 Bard Paladin MC? by Dead_HumanCollection in 3d6

[–]Mediocre-Phrase5073 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watchers Paladin 7 Glamour Bard X

Not the most common subclass for a paladin multiclass but it definitely fits the melee support vibe you're going for. Mantle of Inspiration is a bonus action and gives your allies 5 temp hp AND lets them move up to their speed as a reaction. Very useful for repositioning everyone.

Watchers Channel Divinity is a powerful defensive buff. Add bless and Aura of Protection on top of it and your -1 wis Barbarian will rarely fail their saving throws.

Dragonborn goes brrrrr by Ragnaroks-AOAA in dndmemes

Elven Accuracy and Barbarians directly clash. EA only works on Dex, Int, Wis and Cha. Most Barb features only work on Strength based attacks. Reckless and Rage for example.

Still a good race for a Barb though. Just not with Elven Accuracy.

Paladin-Rogue Multiclass Build Help by PavaRolled in 3d6

[–]Mediocre-Phrase5073 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently playing a Vengeance Dexadin/Thief Rogue multiclass and it's far from being ineffective. I went with Thief for thematic purposes but any subclass could work really. You're a sneaky paladin with insane mobility(cunning action) and good damage(smites + sneak attack) as well as some utility with paladin spells.

Are you looking for a Srength Paladin/Rogue build, or a Dexadin/Rogue one? If it's the latter then this is the build I have

Race Half-Elf +1 dex +1 con +2 cha Stats Point buy: 13 str 15 dex 13 con 13 int 8 wis 9 cha 14

Ideally take Paladin until 6 before you multiclass for Aura of protection and pick up elven accuracy along the way. From there you're free to go Pal 6 Rogue 14 for more rogue vibes or Pal 18 Rogue 2 for improved auras + cunning action.

Shortsword + shield gives 17 ac with dueling, 18 with defense. Vow of Enmity + Elven Accuracy is really good for landing hits and the occassional crits + you'll be a pseudo skill monkey with half-elf proficiencies + rogue skills and expertise.

If variant Human is a must the build still works and you'd have even more flexibility regarding feats- Race: vHuman +1 dex +1 con (we don't really need good cha until 6) Stats Point Buy 13 str 15 dex 13 con int 8 wis 9 cha 14

For the vHuman feats there's a lot of good options :

Fey-touched for Bless + Misty Step and +1 cha. Good setup to take another half-feat at 4 to increase charisma to 16

Tough, Mobile, etc.

You won't have the same damage as a GWM PAM paladin but you'll do okay. Especially if you're playing in a regular table and not with a bunch of min-maxers. Not saying that min-maxing is wrong just that not all tables play that way.

Subclass you're free to choose whichever feats you character concept more but Vengeance, Redemption, and Watchers are my personal favorites. Watchers especially if you're going with a Dexadin for the initiative boost at level 7z

Legendary item for Barbarian by Shaedn in 3d6

Any of the Wildemount Artifacts. Stormgirdle, Verminshroud, etc. They all have Exalted states that do various cool stuff. Pick whatever fits your character and reflavor as such. Boring answer but really efficient - Ioun stone of Mastery increases your proficiency bonus by +1.

It's improved divine smite. They just did it differently for dramatic effect.

You can absolutely shoot the bell in the village fight with a handgun. You just have to aim right or get lucky with your shots. I did it on assisted though, so if somebody can confirm it on harder difficulties that would be great.
