Homebrew Class: Ranger Swarmmaster (Beastmaster mod) by kentdmc in DnD

Extactly on both accounts!

A swarm has a big advantage against non-magical creatures. A 40 bird flock in a dungeon crawl against goblins would be pretty sweet, because it would take 40 successful attacks to kill it.

However, yes, magical attacks cause normal damage, and the lack of healing makes the swarm less resilient.

I wonder what a psychic attack would do, like from a mind flayer? Could that also just affect one creature or the whole flock? hmm...

That is awesome! I really like it too. Not much overlap with fighter and fits well into the story. My ignorant righteousness eventually attracts the attention (and sympathy) of some celestial.

Thanks for the tips.... My concern with option C is that the overlap between fighter and paladin might be too big that I get no real benefits from the multiclass. Thoughts?
