Catnap gets us our bardic inspiration for flourishes and misty step back. Catnap, shatter, cloud of daggers and bane are our go to spells, as is longstrider. Just remember, you aren't a fighter, and so should focus on running in, attacking then hiding/dashing, thanks to cunning action. We have extra attack, and so can deal some better damage with our rapier. We take swashbuckler, for a new way of sneak attacking, and now have 2D6 sneak attack. Level 11: Bard 8/Rogue 3 You need to put both of your ASI's into Dex, giving us max. By now you should have some studded leather armour, to boost ac Shatter and cloud of daggers are our most important spells, along with longstrider. Make sure to take dueling fighting style. Level 5:Bard 3/Rogue 2 You need to have picked up College of Swords, and use your bardic inspiration to power the flourishes. Spells like bane and longstrider are so useful for this build, as we want to keep mobile, and to debuff when possible. For cantrips, I chose thunderclap and minor illusion. I like the idea of taking a pan flute, or flute, then taking diplomats pack and obviously leather armour and dagger. You need to pick up a rapier for this build. Level 20 build: Eladrin (Mordenkains) College of Swords Bard 17/ Swashbuckler 3 I'm looking forward to what all the optimisers around here come up with so without further ado, let's THROWDOWN The next Throwdown is now live: 5e Throwdowns D&D Beyond edition #2: The Terminator The winner is Yurei1453's 'Aine, Avandra's Blade,' Congratulations Yurei and thank you to everyone that submitted a build and voted! Lostwhilefishing's 'Battle Smith all the way' Yurei1453's 'Aine, Avandra's Blade' 4 votes *WINNER* JoeltheWalrus' 'My Gish' *NOT MELEE FOCUSED* TransmorpherDDS' 'Yuan-Ti Warlock/Paladin' 1 Vote PLEASE NOTE THAT VOTING IS ONLY ONCE THE BUILD DEADLINE HAS PASSED. Gish build deadline/Voting opens: 9pm BST/4pm ET The voting deadline will be five days after the build deadline, votes will be tallied and the winner announced (any vote edits after the deadline has passed will also not be counted, if the original vote cannot be seen the vote will be null and void). Each throwdown thread will run for 7 days after which no new builds will be accepted for contention, when the build deadline has closed votes will be accepted. A user can submit more than one build but they must be in separate posts (and not back to back to respect forum rules) If you submit a build, you must vote for someone for your entry to be considered valid Each user only gets one vote but you can edit your post at any time before the deadline to change your mind. To sort the wheat from the chaff we'll vote on builds and declare a 'winner' (a concept that will hopefully continue in future threads and put the contest into this), to vote simply make a post quoting the build you want to vote for (snipping the content to keep things getting out of hand) and say something that indicates you're voting e.g. Stats: Str x Dex x Con x Int x Wis x Cha x Catchy names and fluff are not a requirement but are always nice to read Normal starting items and gold, mundane armor upgrades be assumed to happen during tier 2 (so you can mention Plate/Half Plate in your commentary but you can only include it in snapshots for levels 11,17 and the final 20). No magic items unless you have a way to create them from a class feature Multiclassing and feat optional rules in play Build to 20 with insights on how the build hands at levels 5, 11, 17 and 20 (include hp and AC at each point for each of reading) You must include a stat array (Point Buy or Standard Array) No UA, only officially published materials Your focus must be on melee combat using a weapon/unarmed strikes and your character must be able to cast spells to be eligible. Monstrous Compendium Vol 3: Minecraft CreaturesĪfter the success of these build competitions on another forum, there was a request to bring them to Beyond as well, I hope plenty of you choose to participate and everyone has fun with them, whether making builds or just reading them!Ī Gish is a character that focuses on using melee weapons as their primary method of combat, but with the use of magic to enhance their abilities, give more utility outside of combat and other options in combat.
