Literally no one thought Spiritual Weapon was broken EXCEPT the developers. It was only good because of no concentration. Now a 2nd level Bless will surely be better.

[CaideJordan]

BUT KOBOLD!!! Three levels into Cleric to pull this off seems like a high investment!!!

[xZandrem]

a video on siege weapons would be cool, they don't come up often, but it would be cool to know them!

If you can use Legacy stuff from 2014 D&D- Fighter's used to get a Fighting Style option called Superior Tequnique, it gave you 1d6 Superiority die and 1 combat manevuer from the Battle Master Fighter subclass. You could get this at level 1 Fighter and grab the legacy Quick Toss maneuver. It works very similiar to the War Preist ability. Then you go to level 2 Fighter and get Action Surge, that gives you another option for ready action sneak attacks. Then at level 3 Fighter, Battle Master happens! You get 4 more Superiority die and 3 more Combat Maneuvers. So you could grab lthe legacy Brace maneuver, Riposte, and one other maneuver of your choice. Riposte and Brace both give you reactionary attacking options without needing to ready your action.

Grand total: 5 Sup Dice & 1 Action Surge; 6 off turn Sneak Attacks per Short Rest and its all Dexterity based too!

YES SIEGE WEAPONS! One of my favorite things in general, but especially important when thinking about kitting out a vehicle, eg a spell jammer ship.

3:56 I respectfully disagree. Yes these are cleric picks, but since they are already prepared you are free to invest in other spells to prepare that normally you couldn’t due to not having enough spots open. War cleric brings a lot of dps and buff options. So you can devote other slots to healing or utility spells without sacrificing any exceptional cleric spells such as spirit guardians.

I had an idea of getting at least one level of War Priest with at least five levels of any Paladin. Which class you focus on after that varies on you but you will want high wisdom for the War Priest ability.

5 levels of Pally gets you Extra Attack, a Fighting Style... and Smite.

Attack and Smite.

Extra Attack and Smite.

War Priest to Attack with your Bonus Action and *SMITE!*

This is #2 on Ludic's list of 3 Rogue Archetypes in 5e.24!

[mythicalthings]

I disagree with the logic that auto picks being on the list automatically makes it bad.


Instead, that just frees you up to take other spells, good ones or niche ones.

Thank you for explaining the whole 'Sneak attack multiple times' thing because I'm an idiot and I often get Rounds and Turns confused. I've played a War Cleric but never thought that it would dovetail with Rogue so well.

[parkerr]

I'd love a siege weapon video. I'm unsure of if it's *actually* permitted rules as written but I had a blast playing a warforged eldritch knight who had a cannon as one of his bonded weapons. He was created as an attempt at making a portable artillery calculator that accidentally became sentient after a while which greatly alarmed all of its creators.

[Cyotis]

Dang. I thought my Quicken Spell True Strike Sorcerer + Arcane Trickster was a great build to do the same thing.

[ryanscanlon]

War cleric dip on rogue is cool, you know what other cleric dip is cool? Evoker wizard and order domain cleric. With access to spells like silvery barbs which is god tier with voice of authority and vortex warp you can manipulate the battlefield better than any other character. However evoker goes extra hard because you can give the allies you sculpt out of your evocation spell those free attacks too and keep up the pressure like no other characters can. Despite automatically succeeding saves and suffering no effects from your spells they are still targets of your spell letting voice of authority still activate

[acetiger]

I feel like sorcerer does this better with two levels for quicken true strike innate sorcery gives you advantage on the attack automatically to confirm sneak attack, then use arcane trickster to get extra spell slots to turn into sorcery point

[samuelnewnes]

I have heard a lot of people underestimating war cleric. It surely was buffed from 2014 and I think it has always been solid for multiclassing, now it will be key for certain builds including rangers. 5 levels of ranger with all the rest war cleric will be strong and give monster hunter vibes

[JoaquinGonzalez-vanckx]

Yes! Do a video on siege weapons please

[gabrielrussell]

The issue with the new capstone is that nothing endgame does BPS damage anymore.

[themambawarrior]

I think that a siege weapon video would be interesting, even if siege weapons aren't good.

[danritts]

I'd love to see a video about siege weapons! I've always wanted to use them in a campaign. Either with my Rune Knight picking up a ballistae and using it like a heavy crossbow, or as a quest for my party to sneak behind enemy lines and sabotage the enemy trebuchets. The developers need to make war campaigns. Unfortunately, AoE spells would probably break those games...

[torinsmith]

I need to see a siege weapons video, including how YOU would make them cool. Taking out dragons with Ballistae is an essential fantasy trope.
