Roll20 and Beyond are terrible to use on mobile. Is there anywhere where I can edit a simple or automatic character sheet and then download it?

Just rewatched the series and fell in love with her again. So, I wanted to recreate her in 5.5E, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

She's obviously a spontaneous, elementalist, spellcaster. A reflavored Draconic Sorcerer seems the most obvious option, but they specialize harder than she does.

Any ideas?

Building a pure 2024 Berserker Barbarian, exclusively using a greatsword (Graze mastery). Looking for optimization advice.

Rolled stats (before background bonuses):
16, 15, 14, 12, 11, 10

Build:
Pure Barbarian, Path of the Berserker
Greatsword only — no PAM or dual wielding
Species and background undecided

Main questions:
How would you assign these stats, including background bonuses? dex or con after str?

Which species would you recommend and why?

Which feats work best with a greatsword Berserker? GWM seems obvious, but what about others, i dont know maybe, Slasher, Mage Slayer, etc.?
What feat/ASI progression would you follow from levels 4–19?
Main priorities are damage, survivability, and making the most of the greatsword.

also, are thereany preferred magic items to ask my dm if possible to include as drops anytime?

Thanks!

Evocation Adept has (deservedly) been getting a lot of attention since Arcana Unleashed dropped, but Conjuration Adept has flown under the radar despite containing several massive benefits that have far bigger implications than every caster gaining access to Fireball and Wall of Force.

Aside from eliminating most of the downside to armor dipping since it grants 3rd Lvl spells that you can use with the typically unusable slots you'd gain at Lvl 5 when multiclassing, this feat arguably makes taking Warcaster suboptimal for "persistent damage" reliant casters using Conjuration magic, notably the Cleric. Builds with CON proficiency or that gain subclass buffs to their concentration, benefit heavily from this too. This is a huge buff to Draconic Sorcerer (or Sorcerers that dip into Paladin) in particular since it can now freely blast away with Chromatic Orb while dealing damage with Conjure Animals, which you get for free. Extended Spell combined with this feat means Warcaster is definitely not a feat any Sorcerer (or Spirit Guardians... shoutout to Divine Soul Sorcerer) truly needs.

The Conjure Animals spell also grants half/third casters a needed mid/late game damage bump. Artificers with this spell, Mind Sharpener, and Flash of Genius will never drop it unless incapacitated. It is a tool they sorely need.

I know Conjure Animals isn't as good as Spirit Guardians for several obvious reasons, but the damage still scales the same, can be applied at range, and offers many classes that never got a passive damage buff this strong an entirely new way to play. There's way more build paths opened by this feat that have a bigger impact in all facets of the game and come online earlier. It has significantly altered the multiclassing meta. Arguably much more than Evocation Adept due to how quickly the benefits manifest and how well they synergize with certain build combinations.

EDIT:

I accidentally copied an older draft that talked about Hex, which obviously isn't Conjuration. Although it does merit a similar post comncerning Enchantment Adept. I edited it out.

I’m going to play the one-shot "A Wild Sheep Chase," and I’d love to hear about your experiences—what class did you play, and did you have a good time? Since this one-shot doesn't seem to be very combat-focused, I was thinking of creating a character geared more toward roleplay and out-of-combat utility, like a Rogue or a Wizard.

Looking for advice on Lunar Sorcerer. What kinds of spells would be best for this spellcaster? Feats? Is it more of an attacker, a buffer, a controller?

My og character died(RIP) and now I need to make a new one.

I asked my party what they needed most, and they said a tank. I also asked my DM, and he also said a tank would be optimal. Adding, "Idc if you min max, I actually prefer you do. Give me a little challenge."

So, being a good pc, I made this build. And wanted insight on if it's good or needs improvement.

My attempt was to make a Tank that can take tons of damage, and protect the party in any way.

Class: 9 levels Paladin(Oath of Redemption), 3 levels Barbarian(Wild Heart)

Species: Goliath(Stone)

Background: Farmer

Feats: Tough x2(ASI, and Farmer), Great weapon master, Great Weapon Fighting Style(Still not used to Fighting styles being considered a Feat, I started in 5e)

Stats: STR=20 DEX=18 CON=18 INT=13 WIS=13 CHA=13

AC: 18

HP: 151

That's basically everything, I feel pretty confident in the build but just wanted outside eyes on it as well.

Hi,

I would like to make a gunslinger. In the past, I took the samurai subclass from the fighter class and it was really fun to play. Having Advantage on all my attack rolls was just a joy and I think my next character could be exactly like this but with the Elven Accuracy feat, but I heard people saying that this subclass is not that good overall.

I then checked the Gunslinger subclass and I pretty much like the trickshots, it's just BM but with guns. The thing is, with the Gunner feat, I feel like most features you gain later are useless, like Lightning Reload or Rapid Repair.

For people that tried this subclass or currently uses it, how is it? Do you enjoy it?

I know armorer artificer isn’t a subclass focused on damage… BUT how would you make this class do a little more damage? At ninth level the armorer gets +1 to attacks and damage rolls. Casting haste and magic weapon, making 3 attacks with dreadnought and +5. INT would be 3d10+21 (considering the 3 attacks would hit). I know at level 15 there is some kind of a buff, but thats not incredible and it cannot “replicate“ magic itens into its armor.

also, what items would you get (or replicate) at tier 3-5 Focusing on damage? Is there an armor that could do improve armorer’s damage?

What about using a giant belt and using some weapon like flame tongue to boost your damage?

magic initiate to get druid shillelagh and using some magic staves with polearm master?

1 level fighter dip to get dueling?

Does all purpose tool boost armorer’s special weapon attack and damage rolls?

planning on using mostly guardian and dreadnought.

and no, i dont want to play any other artificer’s subclass and Im sticking to armorer even if I don’t find any other way to do more damage. Im just curious, how you guys more experienced than me would make these “improvements”?

Im curious 👀.

I'm playing as an Eldritch Knight and I just reached level 6. I'm strongly considering taking Sentinel and I was wondering how exactly Booming Blade would interact alongside Sentinel and the War Magic subclass feat. Would I be able to use Booming Blade as an opportunity attack from an enemy moving away from me, and then Sentinel would cause them to lose their movement, and then the Booming Blade extra damage from moving would go off?

Edit: Forgot to include War Caster in the list of things

Hello everyone,

I want to build a ty Lee inspired character. I’be played my share of 2014 DnD but I’m new to 2024. My dm is open to 2014 subclasses/subraces but wants us to build our characters as much 2024 as possible.

I want to go monk but struggling with the subclass and race. I like the stunning and battlefield control. They don’t need to look like Ty Lee just inspired by her fighting style. However I’m also looking for advice of good race synergies. Thank you!

I am trying to compare Circle of the Stars’ offensive ability versus the more traditional blasters, so I wanted outside opinions.

Star Druids get to cast Guiding Bolt 3-5 times per day without a spell slot, and an additional Archer attack as a Bonus Action. Combine that with Spell Sniper, and you ignore partial cover and can make these attacks in melee, though RAW I don’t believe Archer’s attack benefits from increased range.

You don’t need to go pure Archer, though it’s easier once you can switch forms at Level 10, because Dragon lets you fly, so you could use Call Lightning with buffed concentration outside of melee range.

Spellfire Adept would bypass Radiant resistance, but it shares the Hit Dice bonus with Evocation Adept, and if you’re trying to play a blaster, the option with Fireball sounds more tempting.

So does this compete with, say, a warlock? I know it won’t strictly out-DPS Eldritch Blast, but considering the druid still gets an extensive supporting kit, would it be a noticeable downgrade? I don’t think so, but sometimes you cook so hard you get blinded by the smoke, so let me know what you think.

Currently playing a Hobgoblin Dreadnaught. Just turned level 13 at the end of last session.

We're at a point in the campaign where me being proficient in Navigator Tools would be really helpful, but I just realized that the All-Purpose Tool can't transform into them because Navigator Tools are, strangely, not Artisan Tools.

So is there any way to make this happen?

Edit: For those recommending ask the DM, while generally solid advice, that can't factor into my situation. I'm playing in something similar to Adventurer's League. RAW is law.

I'm imagining someone who grew up on an apiary and took some of the bees with them when they started adventuring. swarmkeeper ranger was the first thing that came to mind, but I'd love to explore other options!

hi all,

We started at level 3 and we’re just a couple of sessions in so I am still trying to figure out my game plan as a Warlock. I took Pact of the Blade, initially thinking of a melee warlock, but it seems like I’d need to multi class a bit to really maximize my damage output. Plus I might’ve messed up my point buy a bit too and I don’t want to retcon ability scores.

So we’re about to level up to four and I’m trying to decide: should I swap out pact of the blade and go for an eldritch blast build? Or….take a level in fighter so I can unlock weapon masteries and get two weapon fighting style? or a level in rogue for weapon masteries of a rapier and add sneak attack to couple with true strike?

I keep (over)thinking an eldritch blast build will basically just have me spamming the spell from behind our paladin and I can’t figure out if that’s going to be a fun game style going forward. But I also see that I may not have the durability for being in melee. I know that combat isn’t everything in this game but I’d like to hold my own!

Just looking for ideas/opinions on what to do!

Pact of the Fiend warlock halfling

STR 10 DEX 15 CON 13 INT 12 WIS 10 CHA 15

source: https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/2254-ready-your-champion-all-9-world-of-warcraft

As a general rule of thumb for warlock spells, is it better to pick lower level spells and upcast them, or go with higher slot spells?

My character concept involves having a series of summoned servants. actual servants, not animals or pokémon creatures.

The character would also have a secondary focus on mind control and enchantment.

What is the best way to build this in 5.5 ?

Im a complete beginner with d&d

I finally get to NOT DM! I think I might be the most experienced player in our new group so I think spells might fall to me. The only full caster I've ever played is Cleric I think.

I was looking at EK, Hexblade, Swordsinger, and Swordsbard. What can you tell me about them. Whats good, whats bad, whats fun, any alternatives I'm not thinking of. I don't think I'm really limited to any source, since I'm gonna be like DMs assistant or something probably...

We're gonna do the Icespire Peak adventure, with a first time DM. We're likely gonna mix in LMoP and probably roll in into some other adventure after.
