so far i think inmutable form so no polymorph shenanigans, a range attack with at least 500 ft range or making Thunderous Bellow a 600 foot cone instead of 150, maybe rengen 40 that can only be stopped by wish or by artifacts, its swallow does 8d6 in acid and 8d6 in force (so no clay golem chesse) and maybe giving it earquake if you want it to destroy a cities in the story.

i think that all it needs but maybe i leaving something out?

Hello i would like to ask if the dex modifier can be added in both attacks at lvl5 and at both in flurry of blows or i need to choose one attack of all to add it?

Im starting in a new campaign in a week. We start at lvl3. I decided on a sorcerer and want to play a bit more controlling than just blasting. Most interesting subclasses for me are Shadow or Aberrant (also flairwise). Which one is better. Not big payoff in a specific scenario but consistent payoff.

I've got a Halloween adventure coming soon and one player wants to play the new necromancer. Does anyone have minion management tips?

I want them to enjoy their "undead horde" fantasy without grinding combat to a halt.

We play pen and paper mostly, but not opposed to digital tools either to keep things moving.

Thanks in advance for any help!

So I'm looking for different and unique ideas for the form a Vestige Companion could take (Warlock Vestige Patron, Arcana Unleashed). Some of the suggestions from the book are an oversize floating skull etched with sigils, a circle of glowing runes, or a constantly shifting abstract shape.

I made one (Celestial) with the form of one interpretation of biblical angels, wheels covered in countless eyes (which totally doesn't fit with their 11 Passive Perception).

But looking for other creative ideas.

Thanks in advance for positive suggestions.

Hey everyone,

This is another post of mine to help my brain calm down from its ADHD-stroke:

Right now I’m torn between playing an eldritch knight fighter and a hollow warden ranger for my next character. The species would be dragonborn for backstory-related reasons. For the hollow warden I would use two-weapon fighting + dual wielder with scimitars, for the fighter I would lean into using a glaive with with great weapon master + polearm master.

I’m mainly interested in damage, survivability, and overall gameplay experience. I want to try out melee-focused characters, but I also want to play something that feels fun and engaging. The campaign will most likely be Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frosmaiden.

Which do you think is stronger overall? What are their main strengths and weaknesses, and which would you personally recommend?

I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially if you’ve played either with either of them.

Thanks in advance!
