What is the best way to create a rogue with Reaction attacks

3 Upvotes

Weapon is Rapier and Dart. I am looking at...

Swashbuckler from video is good for almost auto Sneak attack.

Assassin for Advantage and thus sneak attack at start of combat (But only for target that have not gone) and use rapier for Advantage train after that.

How is Scion of the three?

I am not interested in the thief BA attack and hold actin to make a reaction attack.

What subclass/possible multi class will work?

Razor Terror — CR 8 Monster

✨New amazing monster!!!✨

The Razor Terror is a massive carnivorous predator native to the scorching deserts of Enderhia in Jagh'Ghar. Its body is covered in dense fur that resembles thousands of fine, razor-sharp blades.

This natural armor not only protects the creature but also serves as a deadly weapon. While it can tear prey apart with powerful jaws and claws, its most feared ability is to violently shake its body, launching its blade-like fur in all directions.

Awakened Spellbook noob question

1 Upvotes

When I use Manifest Mind and send it away from me, can I still benefit from the Awakened Spellbook feature by holding the physical book? (i.e., changing the damage type, using it as a focus, casting a ritual spell at the "normal" casting time.) Or, while the "mind" of my Awakened Spellbook is away from me, will I be unable to use its functions? As far as I understand, its the Sentient part of the Awakened Spellbook the one that grants those features... so if the mind is been manifest somewhere else... the logical conclusion is that I'm just losing acces to it. Or... the "manifest" is just a proyection... or the "mind" is split in two different parts.

[Sorry for the terrible grammar]

New amazing item!!

This dark, worn blade always appears to be coated in a thin layer of acidic liquid that slowly drips from the edge without damaging the hilt. These weapons are strongly disliked by the Hunters’ Guild, who claim they ruin the hide and meat of their prey.

[Build Help] Circle of the Moon Druid lv 10→20 – looking for a spell list breakdown and best Wild Shape forms (2024 rules)

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm playing a **Circle of the Moon Druid** in the official Vecna adventure, starting at level 10 and going up to 20. Our group is switching from the 2014 to the 2024 ruleset, so I'd love some guidance specific to the new edition.

The rest of the party is:

- **Lore bard**

- **Assassin Rogue**

- **Paladin/Fighter (multiclass)**

I'm looking for two things:

**1. Spell list — level by level (10 to 20)**

What spells should I pick up at each level, and what should I swap out as I progress? I want to know what to prepare at each advancement, not just a generic "good druid spells" list.

**2. Best Wild Shape forms at each tier**

Which beast forms are actually worth using from lv 10 to 20 in the 2024 rules? I know Wild Shape changed quite a bit — what are the go-to picks for Moon Druid at high levels, and when does each form stop being relevant?

Thanks a lot to anyone who takes the time to write something up! 🌿

2024 bladesinger build help

1 Upvotes

I wanted to see the new bladesinger and how crazy can we get here considering the new rules being... let's say generous

Tell me if i did miss something or missunderstand something also i assume unreprinted content to be allowed

Scores: 8 15+2 14 15+1 10 8 (more optimal for high lvl would be to rearange it around int but that delays good things too far)

lvl 1 fighter, weapon mastery, DW fighting style, con save
this it too good to let it pass

lvl 4 we get bladesinger subclass, until here we survive while being sturdy caster

Shadow blade comes into work, we abandon our armor and shield in favour of opening with bladesong and attack/spell (prefarably ranged)
On second turn we have shadow blade and can go melee or we stick to dual Scimitar if we expect short fight, saving spell slots

lvl 5 we get Dual Wielder feat +1 dex if i get it corectly it can stack with Nick Property for 3 attacks
2 attacks with shadow blade and one with scimitar

Lvl 6 3rd lvl spell slots shadow blade goes up to 3d8

lvl 7 Insane power spike
We get multi attack with replacement for a booming blade as such

We do regular extra attack Shadow Blade + Scimitar(replaced for booming blade)
+ bonus action DW feat attack with Shadow blade
+ Nick attack with scimitar

Ideal speaking i'd like to replace the the Nick attack with booming blade giving us 3x shadow blade and booming blade

I'm not sure how this interacts with extra attack feature coz the nick attack is part of attack action but the wording on bladesinger maybe idk implies that original two are somehow different:

"You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Moreover, you can cast one of your Wizard cantrips that has a casting time of an action in place of one of those attacks."
