  • We're excited to kick off our new builds using the 2024 Player's Handbook and are starting off with a banger. This build is a blink blade playstyle build utilizing the Archfey Patron Warlock along with the Cloud Goliath to get a ton of teleportation mobility, along with weapon masteries and Pact of the Blade for great damage.

    9:03 is wrong because misty Visions doesn’t expend a spell slot, and Bewitching Magic requires both an action and spell slot expended.

    It specifies in the Bewitching Magic feature that the spell must use a spell slot. So free silent images aren’t going to allow you to misty step for free

    This is fantastic. This inspired me to make something similar but EXTREMELY thematic. While it breaks the rules you set of only using the 2024 PHB, I couldn't resist.
    For species, go with Eladrin, this still gives you Proficiency Bonus number up teleports with Fey Step. It also has an added on effect depending on your season. It makes FANTASTIC flavor with the Archfey patron.
    Instead of only fighter 1, then the rest warlock, you'll start the same as fighter 1. Then, you'll take warlock up to 5 to get thirsting blade. After that, return to fighter and go to fighter 3 and subclass into Echo Knight.
    This gets you even more burst damage with unleash incarnation and ensures you'll have teleports if you somehow manage to exhaust your Misty Steps and Fey Steps.

      Bewitching magic requires you to use an action AND expend a spell slot to free cast misty step, so misty vision doesn't allow you to do it infinitely.

    I'm personally planning Fighter 1, Warlock (Archfey) 6 (or maybe 7 for Greater Invisibility), but then after that go for Bard (Valor) 6, to get that extra juicy extra attack where I can replace one of the attacks with a Cantrip. At that point, I can attack with my weapon and then blast the enemy with a triple Eldritch blast! And when I then go for Fighter 2, I can even Action Surge for another weapon attack and another triple Eldritch Blast (because Action Surge only disallows the Magic Action, but not replacing one of our Valor Bard attacks of the Attack Action with a Cantrip). With some damage-boosting spell like Spirit Shroud up, that's a LOT of extra damage!

    You forgot to talk about about warlock spells and I think a few deserve a mention. Spells like hunger of Hadar that create an damaging area hazard are really big. round one you can drop hunger on a group, then as the make their way out you teleport to them and with pike knock them back in, or use repelling blast to knock them back in. If multiple party members have shove effects you can keep the enemies shoved in the aoe effect.

    Taking 5e content into account, I'd take Eladrin or Shadar-Kai as my race. Proficiency bonus number of teleports with extra effects for even more fey step tomfoolery. I'd also be more content with just having 14+ Dex with medium armor. It doesn't make sense to me to have a Fey themed blink blade have Dex as their dump stat.

    You can also play a build that never misses. Eldritch knight (minimum of 7, to get gish multi attack {valor bard also works as an alternative} graze weapon mastery), evocation (minimum of 3, to never miss any cantrip) and of course warlock. If you don't care about mixing cantrips into your attack action you can take less fighter and more warlock, although sorcerer is still not a bad addition either.

    Not sure if anyone else has pointed this out, but Cloud Giant does not get "Misty Step," just a teleport. The Step of the Fey ability requires you to cast Misty Step, not just teleport. High Elf is the only 5.5e class that gives us the extra Misty Steps.

      @ But those don’t trigger your subclass abilities. Fey Teleportation gives you a free misty step per SHORT rest, which DOES trigger your subclass abilities, which are often better than the eladrin riders.
      Shamar-Kai rider is insane though. That’s a trade I would make for sure. It wouldn’t proc your subclass abilities, but getting resist all is one of the best abilities in the game.

  • @NateFinch
    @NateFinch 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is very similar to a character I'm playing in my first 5.5 game. I'm only going 13 strength, though. No need to waste stat points for strength for heavy armor. Also taking Cloud Goliath, though High Elf might actually be stronger, since it works eith your misty step bonuses. Finally, going Paladin 1 for the extra spell slots. I'm taking the jump invocation for even more mobility. It effectively gives you +20 feet of movement in addition to bring able to jump over obstacles and up onto things. It's almost like limited flight.

    • @crownlexicon5225
      @crownlexicon5225 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      If you already have to hit 13 str, 15 str for heavy armor is more stat efficient than 14 dex with medium armor. It's 4 points of stats to boost the strength, but 7 to get dex to 14. Those extra 3 can be spent elsewhere.

    • @NateFinch
      @NateFinch 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @crownlexicon5225 that assumes you'd dump dex, but dex is useful for more than AC. It's initiative and dex saves and skills... Strength is barely used for anything. I also value not having the disadvantage on stealth. Plus, heavy armor is only better AC once you get plate, which is quite expensive and not likely before 5th level in my experience.

    2 leve of rogue (for cunning action hide), 6 level in monk for shadow step, darkness and the ability to see inside that darkness. This is the core of the build.
    Grab a dagger (nick) and a scimitar (vex) (yes we are dual wielding
    Dual wielding for an extra scimitar attack on our bonus action (it does stack with your martial art bonus action unarmed attack and with flurry of blow bonus action 2/3 unarmed attack) (giving you up to 7 attacks per round)
    get your 20 dex ASAP (for your stealth check and hitting with your finess weapon)
    Your martial art dice increase the damage dice of the dagger and the scimitar
    After that grab what you prefer, keep going monk for heightened focus and 3 flurry of blow
    Grab improved shadow step
    grab a 3rd rogue level for a subclass (PYF. I love arcane trickster, bonus action mage hand for unlocking and pickpocketing safely at a distance and a few low level wizard spell to use your concentration)
    If you go 4rogue/16monk you could grab 2 epic boon (rogue 3/monk15 bring you to level 18. your 4th rogue level and your 16th monk level will give you a feat and your overall character level will be 19 and 20, meaning you can choose 2 Epic boon and end up with 22 Dex)
