The Thunderball: d4 #99

The Thunderball: d4 #99

Our D&D 5e character build this week is an attempt to do something I've never really done before: try to build a character that excels at both Sustained *and* Burst/Nova damage. How'd I do?

The Shaman: d4 #98

The Shaman: d4 #98

For our D&D 5e build this week, we're attempting to do the impossible: build a character who is mostly a Barbarian, but who fills the Support role. And no, I don't mean Tank!

The Bard Tank: d4 #97

The Bard Tank: d4 #97

Our D&D 5e character build this week is someone who tries to protect their allies by taunting their enemies. And I mean *actually* taunting them :).

The Holy Warrior: d4 #96

The Holy Warrior: d4 #96

For our D&D 5e build this week - Paladins: good at support, tanking, burst/nova, and now... sustained damage too? Seems a little unfair.

The Bladesinger Monk: d4 #94

The Bladesinger Monk: d4 #94

Our character build this week is simply an attempt to make my two favorite characters in D&D 5e viable in a single character build: the Bladesinger and the Monk.

I'd appreciate it if you'd consider su…

The Battlefield Commander: d4 #93

The Battlefield Commander: d4 #93

Our D&D 5e character build this week is a Support Character, but not what most of us typically think of when we think Support: we're not really a healer, but a Squad Leader, directing, strengthening,…

The Shepherd Druid: d4 #92

The Shepherd Druid: d4 #92

Our D&D 5e character build this week is me finally caving in to the demands to build a character who can make the best use of the Conjure Animals spell. Is it really as overpowered as some think?

The Shield Master: d4 #91

The Shield Master: d4 #91

Our D&D 5e character build this week is an attempt to make good use of the Shield both offensively and defensively. It's *not* Captain America, but we'll call it inspired by his style :)

The Fathomless Frost Mage: d4 #89

The Fathomless Frost Mage: d4 #89

For our D&D 5e character build this week we have one rule: any damage that we do must include cold damage. Let it go, Frost Mage. Let it go.

The Stars Druid: d4 #88

The Stars Druid: d4 #88

For our D&D 5e character build this week we're building a Circle of Stars Druid who tries to get the most out of the Moonbeam spell. The result is solid sustained DPR + fantastic support.

The Whisperer: d4 #87

The Whisperer: d4 #87

Our D&D 5e character build this week is suave on the outside, but a little scary in the middle. Mostly Whispers Bard, part support, part utility, all nova damage.
