Eugenics and steroid skeletons: An optimizer's guide to Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn

Critical Role, one of the greatest companies at fault for making people think that 5e is a good game, released another source book after the fantastic book called Chron, Gift of Alacrity, And a Hundred Pages of Lore You Won't Read. This time around, its bullshit is no longer concentrated in two subclasses, but entirely in your ancestors being complete freaks in addition to two subclasses.    Mixed Ancestry What immediately makes this book more broken than EGW is the fact that you can be mixed. Breaking this is simple: Have an ancestor be Mark of Healing or Hospitality Have another ancestor who you'd like to get a racial feature from have a baby with Hospi Have that baby, it's baby, and it's baby's baby have babies with whoever you'd like to have racial features from Remember that you can just get either Custom Lineage for its feat or Half-Elf for its +2/+1/+1 if you're done getting whatever you like Don't worry about missing languages since your backgrou...

Panty is an optimizer - here's why (also Gunner Gloom build)

Image
  For the first time in the history of TatTech, I will be supporting my writing with imagery.   Chapter 1: steal her strats Panty & Stocking   with Garterbelt   is a show which   makes me feel like I'm watching something I'm not supposed to despite being an adult with a job and an apartment. There must be an intersection between the parts of my brain which is stupid enough to not have thrown away 5e months ago and that understands and enjoys the themes of sexual liberty and feminism, I guess.  I am ripping FoD off  (as per usual). #1: Panty buys magic items   As it turns out, Ranger becomes a top 3 class when you can get an Ascending (or at least Awakened) Dragon's Wrath antimatter rifle, a weapon better than the entire Barb, Fighter, and Rogue classes. Panty presumably has one, given her gun can blow stuff up in a way a modern firearm couldn't, the damage being necrotic is close enough to being radiant like in the show, and she sometimes make...

I made Arcane Archer good

A rcane Archery is an ancient art of war dating back to the era of the Feywild when the Elves could still shape-shift. Having long been nearly entirely forgotten by scholars, it is the brightest students of the art of war that study this art to not only be able to replicate it, but make it far greater than it ever was.  Arcane Archer Fighters long had an amateurish understanding of true Arcane Archery, but a recent interest in the art has led to increased interest, with the art now being in the greatest glory thanks to the intense research of the Farmadraad University student's brave efforts exploring and documenting the Feywild's intense magic. Level 3: Arcane Archer Lore Shots of the Ancients:  Weapons with the Ammunition property are considered Ancient Weapons for you. When you attack with an Ancient Weapon, you can either add your Intelligence modifier to the attack and damage roll of the attack, or gain temporary hp equal to your Intelligence score and optionally also mak...

Soul Shift: a 2024 DSS/Lunar build

This build uses 2024 sorc's additional spell slots with DSS to attempt to make up for how hard sorc's been nerfed due to Aberrant and Clock getting nerfed and sorc's dip options getting a lot worse. It won't succeed; you're even moreso nearly objectively worse than wizard in 2024 due to sorc getting nerfed where it was unique and buffed where it's not. You're still an arcane fullcaster, so you're still broken, just not in a way that can do anything to touch wizard.   Tech used:  Consult my tech glossary on the following: Suggestion Suffocation SG/CWB reprocs  Fey-Touched Gift of Alacrity Conjure Animals/Conjure Celestial movement    Character Creation Specie:  Dhampir (Stealth and Perception) for bite critfishing for an initiative boost. If you need the crafting versatility, pick Shadar-Kai instead.   Background:  Acrobatics and Nature, tool best for magic item crafting for your party, Alert.   Stats:  9 Str/13+1 Dex/14 Con/8 Int/13 Wis...
