Point buy and a bonus feat, interesting characters?
« on: June 12, 2019, 10:11:00 AM »
I've just played a barbarian to level 15, and whilst angry flight is fun, I was wondering if there are any more interesting builds out there I haven't thought of.

The party is Monk, Wizard, Sorcerer, Druid and Rogue/Warlock multi. We've either rolled stats or taken point buy with a free feat. I think I'm the only one that opted for the latter.

I've considered cleric 1/lore bard X, get aura of vitality and find greater steed with magical secrets. for smite-free pretend paladin.
I've considered straight warforged cleric necromancer.
I've considered an elven accuracy gloomstalker/fighter type archer.

Are there any fun takes on the above or anything else anyone recommends? I'm not really excited by most of 5e's options or lack thereof.

I got close to the Cleric 1 / Lore X build, 'cept
with Divine Soul Sorc 1, and not your steed focus.
It was fun for the party to be handed a d4 or d8
especially when somebody did something (stupid shhh).
Mediocre BFC and made sure I survived to bring back
the ones who did something (really) stupid (ahem).

Getting the Inspired Leadership feat at level 1 is great.
Doing it with any Not Variant Human, is pretty spiffy.
Do you need Aura of Vitality with all the other heal options?

Most recent Warforged is AC galore.  The Necro army
is absolutely c.o. fun, but quite unwieldy and some
of the party may not understand wtf is going on.
(either in character or out)  Still personally like it.

Fighter Rogue Archer would be stepping on some party toes
and might get thrown to frontlining + meatshielding too often.
Chance at a bonus feat on the feat stack class tho' is tempting.
Your codpiece is a mimic.
