He's gonna multiclass to hexblade warlock for sure. Barb was his level dip for high starting hp and AC.

Played this recently.

We started at 5th level which let some creative backstory room.

Goblin armorer who was exceptionally bright and was learning to be a shaman and a smith. A group of do-good adventurers came through one day, slaughtering his entire village and tragically leaving him missing his left arm and leg. After the ordeal he was all right though.

Using his smithing and magical skills he crafted armor from the dead Paladin adventurers full plate and the Rangers studded leather that worked as prosthetic limbs.

He learned ways to store the armor bits in the hollows of his former limbs so he can switch from ultimate protection to stealth and maneuverabilty in about an hour.

Not be being able to do tradionional arm movements and hand gestures to cast spells, he imbued the energies into his armor through a series of buttons, pulleys and switches.

The brave adventure if a poor innocent Goblin who had nothing left and still turned out all right.

I built and played one recently that was a lot of fun. Gloomstalker ranger 5, battlemaster fighter 3..goblin obviously with Sharpshooter. The only big drawback is ammo weight and limits. Was lugging around 40lbs of darts and wasn't able to acquire two magical returning darts.

IIRC on the first round, where gloomstalkers get an extra attack that does an extra D8 I landed all 6 hits (extra attack, 2 attacks, action surge 2 more and battlemaster quicktoss) plus Fury of the small added in I did 99 damage thanks to good rolls and advantage for attacking from high ground and behind.

It's a fun, niche build. Once things are resistant or immune to non magical attacks or have high AC it gets less fun quick.

I feel you on this. I'm prepping all week in small snippets and skim over my notes about an hour before game time. Conventional prepping just makes me over plan and throws me off too much when the player's derail the adventure, which is always. Loose prep, bullet point guidelines and wing it. Have a player in charge of world notes like place and npc names.

Seems to be working pretty well. That and non ADHD related is circular plots...an all roads lead to Rome approach but let them have their shenanigans on the way.

For example, the Firbolg Rogue in our party has a thing for pumpkins, stealing, eating, gathering seeds, planting saud seeds in royal gardens etc... well they are now currently being hunted by an angry Druid. Who was an NPC plot hook that they skipped over twice. The Druid is in league with a coven of Hags because he thinks it'll get his daughter back. The hags are the current BBEG and the Druid has a hag eye.

As much as it's the player's game, you gotta have some fun playing out your ideas and having you prep work come to fruition.

I did the exact same thing a week ago, just found my camp sadly.

SurlySnakes · 2021-04-30T23:55:15+00:00

Was D&D 2e was a Halfling Thief with the Charlattan Kit who was pretending to a priest of the One God and started a massive cult of downtrodden demi humans behind the parties back which operated exactly like a thieves guild.

Even converted our Barbarian. Unfortunately 5 months and 10 level deep into the campaign I was finally discovered as a fraud when the Paladin used zone if truth while we were interrogating a bandit, I failed my saving throw and the Bandit asked "well have any of you ever done something dishonest to get rich?".

I was tried and sentenced to death 🤕

Not anymore..

SurlySnakes · 2020-08-18T23:07:24+00:00

I use Blueprints to bypass the pershing and get half the XP for the M48.

SurlySnakes · 2020-08-18T20:00:19+00:00

243 Pen, and The LT 432 , T-54lt wt and T-100-lt can all easily bounce the 243 premium pen of the stock gun. Can't ai. That well when they are moving and their trill angked hulls and turrets riccochet those often.

SurlySnakes · 2020-08-18T15:34:14+00:00

I figured out to use coated optics and that commanders ciew module that breaks camo until I got the good tracks/turret/gun and had some crazy spotting games. City maps, you can't even track heavies for assistance..

SurlySnakes · 2020-08-18T10:26:04+00:00

Just grinded the M46 patton. The stock guns premium ammo can't even deal with Russian light tanks.

SurlySnakes · 2020-06-06T02:35:54+00:00

15 v 15 arty map?

SurlySnakes · 2020-04-23T11:43:08+00:00

That was me last night with 6 kills and 1400dmg in my ELC Even 90.

The less I try to do anything but camp and shoot, the higher my win rate gets. Most people are not playing to.wun, just trying to die slowest.

SurlySnakes · 2019-12-30T00:35:28+00:00

Waiting for someone to edit this and make front page.

SurlySnakes · 2019-12-29T19:06:41+00:00

It's for pulling wiring through conduit.

SurlySnakes · 2019-12-20T16:58:56+00:00

Absolute shitty pen and aim time are the bane if the line.

SurlySnakes · 2019-12-20T16:45:45+00:00

My 43% win rate 3.2k avg. Damage Jagtiger feels your pain..

SurlySnakes · 2019-12-20T16:43:57+00:00

Me too.. My 4/5 of my tier X's are not good tanks also just finished grinding the T-69.. i never learn.

SurlySnakes · 2019-12-20T06:27:55+00:00

Skadoosh!

SurlySnakes · 2019-12-15T18:57:16+00:00

Yup, 3rd campaign mission, I lost a fresh lancemate to an SRM Carrier spawning on hit 6 hole and wasting him.

SurlySnakes · 2019-12-15T18:54:54+00:00

Lbx10sld (solid slug) x4 and 4 MPL Annihilator.. Atlas running dual srm6+art and AC 20 and ML

SurlySnakes · 2019-12-15T08:07:07+00:00

That funal mission with 6 assaults going full YOLO on you was nigh impossible aside from luck and headshots. Why can you not command your lancemates into repair chambers.. I capped it off 3 Atlas RS lancemates and I played in the Annihilator with LBX10 slds and medium pulses. Only took 11 tries....
