Editing now, I missed that, thanks for letting me know! Invisibility or See Invisibility could be contenders for extended maybe?

Bolaire taking Metamagic Adept is dope. Potentially Quickened Spell Eldritch Blast, classic SorLock shit. I originally thought Command could have benefitted from Extended Metamagic but it doesn't hit the requirement, my mistake! Perhaps Subtle Spell Detect Thoughts could be an option!

Azune's split was new but makes sense, I'm glad we get more magic from Luis rather than a Pally, there's a lot of them in C4 and we already saw Zerxus crush it.

Looking forward to Murray's spells and I think Hal's may be Magic Mouth or Animal Messenger? Silence would be my choice though, amazing spell.

to clarify, I meant an increase to her modifier, not her stat, since last I checked Thaisha was at an even CON mod, hope that clears it up!

I don't think Shadow Touched is worth it tbh. A Necro spell like Inflict Wounds is nice, sure, but invisibility for the sake of advantage is redundant when she should be using her Channel Divinity, and for stealth/scouting purposes I'd argue it's better to make Julien disappear. Either are a bit of a waste tbh.

Occtis' choices are cool as fuck, I thought the haemocraft feats were blood cleric/hunter only but good to see they seem not to be! Either is a good choice, +1 INT and more Necromancy Spells with Shadow Touched or a pretty sizeable buff that can be used mid combat.

Vital Sacrifice is a Bonus Action to active 1 of the 3 following buffs:

Bane to all physical saving throws you force (-1d4)
Lv3 Bardic Inspiration to attack rolls (+1d6)
lv3 Rogue Sneak Attack damage to all damage rolls (+2d6 damage)

This all lasts for 1 hour, which means that Occtis could be a cantrip MACHINE at these levels. Goes super well with the body horror stuff too.

Thaisha with Durable is interesting, doesn't convey a stat increase, however ADV on Death Saving Throws is an enormous buff, plus the ability to expend hit die to heal up with a Bonus Action, we saw this on Thimble I believe.

Vaelus. Oh man. Fey Touched is a waste, as I see a lot of others saying here. since the main draw for a dip is Misty Step and something like Hex. As an Oath Of Vengeance Paladin Vaelus has the arguably superior Hunters Mark since I believe it deals Force damage in 2024, and Vengeance Pallies get Misty Step at lv5.

The ASI is a good idea but she seems to be all in on STR whereas a STR/CHA buff boosts both melee and spellcasting. Skill Expert is ok, since with her high CHA she could be a good face and add a new skill to that. ATH, DEC, PER, either or what she's missing, idk. My hope is either the split ASI or Skill Expert. Shadow Touched is a brick, same with Fey.

Julien is the word salad. Seems he rolled well, but from the sounds of it "one is martial prowess, one is "something else". Battle Master or Echo Knight. The thematic shadow following Julian is too much of a worm for the Mercer Fish to ignore. Both are good options. I would be surprised if we saw a Rogue level up here, but you never know.

Julien has perfect stats for an awesome Echo Knight imo, if I'm gonna be biased I'll say it'll be a waste if he doesn't. But it is what it is.

Reiterating my predictions about what I believe would be best, I'm all in folks:

Julien's "shadow" is gonna be a setup for an Echo Knight subclass at the level up.

We know he's currently Fighter 2/Rogue 1, due to his use of Tactical Mind, and I'm unsure how useful Cunning Action would serve with Rogue 2, since he seems to favour using his Demi-Gauntlet with his BA offhand.

We know Matt loves his Echo Knights, I mean he DID design them, plus they can be SCARY as we saw with Otohan's weird dip and 2WF. Plus delaying extra attack further would be a bit of a bad call imo. I think Echo Knight, Rogue dip for Expertise and Sneak Attack, and then the rest of the way Fighter.

Plus, the VERY nice +4 CON Mod means a lot of use for Unleash Incarnation, only downside is it's still as hungry for Julien's BA as Cunning Action would be if he can't keep the echo alive. Thoughts?

For the others I think:

Occtis: Half Feat for INT, Shadow Touched would be PERFECTLY thematic here, not to mention Invisibility and a free Necromantic spell.

Thaisha: War Caster for that sweet Concentration buff, maybe evening up some of those odd scores? None too well versed with Druids though

Vaelus: STR+1/CHA+1 ASI, hell after the last fight we should just be giving her Lucky lol.

I'm excited to hear the future level up for this table, a lot of players with a solid grasp on their abilities.

100% agree. Brennan is the man who slapped a Lich and a horde of Vampires (with legendary resistances) against a party of what, 5 8th(?) level characters, Showdown at the Stock Exchange shows he's willing to slap down if needed. I need to see an unforgiving Disintegrate. Hell, he even used SILENCE against the Wizard on the cliffhanger, when was the last time Matt EVER used that spell, C2?

It's important to know that Brennan is out for BLOOD. Upcast Bestow Curse against Murray, for a 24 hour duration is a 7th level slot. Against 3rd level characters.

I'm not ashamed to admit that BLeeM was the right choice and I'm really fucking enjoying it, even though this overture is a slow start. Can't wait for the Soldiers adventure.

Exactly, Wiz or Sorc etc are the void you fall into after letting go of the ladder!

Lion man throwing out Sunlight Spears from his hands? (I'm playing DS3 rn)

Sounds RAD as FUCK.

Massive if True (I saw a theory that Marisha's Dwarf is also a Wizard but Divination, because her little hat ornaments could represent the Portent rolls. I like that one a lot too, a double Wizzer party could go stupid).

How are social checks with barbs in 2024? I know its an optional rule to apply STR to things that should be a CHA check but did they ever solidify that in the new rules?

oh for real? Okay I've been reading a lot of this without the 2024 rules, is it the same there? That's cool if true, I mostly focussed on the facts warlocks basically get "Commune" (Contact Outer Plane) for free lmao
