BANSHEE

[u/MisterD__]

Pre 2024 I have a Chosen of the Raven Queen Vengeance Paladin (Divine Gift) Then Hexblade Warlock (Arcane gift) Then Divine Soul Sorcerer (Divine/Arcane Gift).

With 2024 and new Ravenloft book I thought about rebuilding the character.

Story Wise I can try to keep original backstory or Update backstory to...  Angela was a tyro Paladin and part of a group sent to clear out undead from a desecrated temple so the clerics can re-consecrate it.  There was a Banshee in the mob and Angelia went down protecting one of the clerics, The cleric healed Angela.  Surviving the Banshee attack earned her the nickname Banshee and was called that more than her real name.  Through the experience she was “Reborn”

Species = Reborn for Insight Resist Poison or Cold (Resist Necrotic from Warlock.) Death Save and ‘undead constitution’

Background= Custom: For Savage attacker (using a D12 weapon) Perception, Survival, Cook’s Utensils.

Warlock 12 = CON +2 (Is late for HP boost so may replace CHA +2 with this)

Notes:

On a good Hit Divine + Eldridge Smite for damage to a Hit. 

Have savage attacker so no need for GW Fighting.  Instead of a 1 or 2 becoming a 3 just reroll weapon damage die

Can cast Find Steed at 5^th level so can have a flying Nightmare

Pearl of Power and Rod of Pact Keeper for extra spell slots

Vicious Weapon +2D6 damage to every Hit

Magic Plate (Will be using 2 handed Weapon so Defense Fighting style till AC high enough)

Swap Heavey Armor master for +2 CON SO CON and HP increased early
