/5eg/ - Fifth Edition General

Make your entire base an anti-magic field, and get your zombies to fist fight your enemies.

I stab a sword into a monster somewhere it can't easily remove it, then the wizard casts heat metal on it

Useful combo or not?

So a Celestial warlock who wants to bang his patron? Meh, I've heard worse. My only advice would be not to go too crazy with it.

Level 17+ = 6
Expertise = 6 more
20 wisdom = 5
Observant = 5
eyes of the eagle = 5
the calculation itself for passives is 10+other mods, so that makes the maximum possible passive perception cheese: a whopping 37. Vecna couldn't hide from you.

>mfw necrolets are bad at traps
Make the traps levitate, too.

There are no rules for leaving a weapon stuck in a creature, but it seems like reasonable DM fiat.

It is honestly really tempting to go into a more melee oriented class because Pact of the Blade is the most flavorful for my character, but I've never played a spellcaster and the novelty of the novelty of having super late game magic is really enticing. It would probably make sense to do a fighter or pali dip for logic's sake though.

I don't think it'll be that relevant for the campaign, and I'm also aware that I need to not overdo it. Maybe his epilogue is he gets to move in with his patron in the sky. If we finish the campaign that is.

Booming blade+cloud of daggers was pretty nice from what I remember.
early on, too.

Even without multiclassing, Hexblade by itself is enough swordplay I would think. Not sure if you're experienced or not so your DM if he has other plans but I'd say more than 9/10 games stop at level 10.
