- Adventurers League Super Healer 5e D&D Character Builds
Nerdarchy got a request to put together a super healer character build for 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons. We decided to make it for our Adventurers League legal character build series. Which means Players Handbook plus one. For our plus one we decided to use Xanathar's Guide to Everything. It's hard to not use that D&D book when you are building a spell caster.

Celestial warlock gets access to healing
iactually took this and made a level 20 build that is 17 life cleric and 3 Shepard druid
I made a Lore Bard healer with the healer feat, and told the PCs to each buy a healing kit and place them on the same place each, to help keep track of when I can heal somebody, and to keep from having to carry a ton of healer's kits! Only one player balked, until I stopped healing them, then they grudgingly went ahead and complied. "Help me, to help you" was my mantra.
Why would they complain?🙄
The reasons given, @@martthesling, were not wanting to carry the "extra" weight, and they said they weren't the healer, so "it's not my job".
@@VerumAdPotentia When you run out of supplies tell them you couldn't carry anymorem Out of luck for them. Jesus, some players are some the most infuriating people on the planet.
@@VerumAdPotentia The healing kit is 3 pounds. 3.
Magic initiate (wizard) take two cantrips, doesn't matter but what your looking for is find familiar. With that you can cast touch spells through it, such as cure wounds, spare the dying, and heal. It would let you spread the healing in a wider area without having to use sorcery points.
Any drawbacks? Vulnerabilities?
Ritual caster (Wizard) gives you more on the long run.
@@Senki99 true, but i also like booming blade. 😁
@@draxthemsklonst the familiar can be killed but if you use an owl it doesn't get attacks of opportunity from movement.
Excellent idea and as you pointed out the owl gets fly by.

MY Ultimate Healer:
Her name is Ellie. She's a princess. She's a protector Aasimar.
She's a life cleric at first level, And then she's 19 levels of divine soul sorcerer. I maxed out charisma, I went with wisdom as my second highest, and constitution as my third. I got the tough feat, resilient constitution war caster, and buffed my con and wisdom and charisma as much as possible. She has mythril plate armor and a shield, and her staff. She uses the life cleric ability + beacon of hope + empowered healing to do just about all the healing ever needed. She's also *incredibly chonky* so she can tank as well, avoiding damage to the rest of the group. She can also hold her own with empowered spell, a guiding bolt, and a 20 charisma.
She sounds hot.
She sounds like she could take ALOT of hits, and heal. So basically damage to the party doesn’t exist when she’s around
I've found that my Celestial Pact Tiefling Warlock has been an absurdly powerful healer. He's pact of the chain, so he has an imp who can fly around INVISIBLY and deliver Cure Wounds anywhere on the battlefield and the Gift of the Ever Living Ones invocation ensures that he will always stay up.
Additionally, the Healing Light that Celestial pacts get is comparable to the druid alternative; being 1+ your Warlock level d6 worth of healing from which you can spend a maximum equal to your Charisma modifier. Plus, in later levels, he won't even need to pick up inspiring leader since Celestial pact Warlock dole out temp hp after any rest the party takes.
My current healer is this but multi classed with Circle of Dreams Druid so i get the d6s of healing every level and access to the full list of druid spells up to the level of spells i can use as a druid. We only just started and are level 2, so I am not far enough to get any of the good class features yet but I am looking at a progression of either Druid/Warlock 4/16 (to bump wild shape and not lose the ASI) , 10/10 (to get 5th level spells and 3rd feature for both classes), or 8/12 (for the CR1 WS bump and the ASI). I don't know what level we will make it to though. So for now it is going to be 2/4.
I've always prefered Pact of the Tome, due to the lack of spell slots, where warlocks really shine is their unlimited use of magic, either through their cantrips or through their use of invocations. Pact of the Tome allows you to choose any three cantrips of your choice, from any class' spell list you like. I choose Spare the Dying, because healer, as well as Shillelagh which you can stack with Hex, and Guidance. Paired with the cantrip Tieflings get from their bloodline, and the two you get from being a Celestial warlock, your rocking 8 cantrips by level 3, picking up another at level four, or more if you use your invocations from level two to pick up extra cantrips.
The Book of Ancient Secrets Invocation is gonna give you access to two 1 level rituals of your choice, including Find Familiar, but it also allows you to learn any ritual spell you can find. Aspect of the Moon also really helps, especially if you end up taking the Alert feat. Pact of the Tome just brings so much to the table compared to the other pacts. Warlocks don't have a whole lot of access to higher level spells, so it's really important to make the most of their at will magic. Shillelagh and Hex will allow you to keep up in cqc, and of course we all know about eldritch blast, versatility is the warlock's bread and butter, and having a huge list of cantrips is always a good thing.
I'll stick to Life Cleric over Warlock anyday if I want to be a healer. The celestial warlock is fun alternative even if it's not nearly as powerful of a healer.
I have a dreams druid and a divine sould sorcerer. I gotta say I really so far prefer the idea of secondary healers over full on super-healers. I like mixing the primary strengths of the base class with the ability to dole out healing where it's needed, rather than going around trying to keep everyone at full HP at all times or whatever full healers are supposed to do. And the sorc gets some neat interactions with their meta magic, like twinned or distant healing spells and they combine this with the base strengths of the sorcerer alongside the full cleric spell list and having cure wounds (if you're affiliated with good) without using a known spell. Plus, though I haven't gotten there yet but with empowered healing you can also situationally supplement your full healers and maximise their healing potential.
You guys make getting ready in the morning all the better. Thanks for making my day a little brighter.
Tried to crit hit that subscribe button. Rolled a 1. Now I'm unsubbing and only leaving rude comments from now on.
The commented has been hearted and I’m so confused
Playing an arcana cleric in Mad Mage, I took the healer feat and am carrying like... 5 or 6 healer kits at all times. I'm consistently healing 50 hp every short rest with the feat, saving healing spells by popping people up with healer kit stabilizes for 1 instead of healing words, etc. etc. Its been pretty satisfying and lets me use a lot of non-healing spells.
I love the idea of this character being an adversairy. Just add a few moderately powerful minions, so there is someone to heal, and you have a completely different boss battle than what we are used to.
Cheers!
Yay!!! Thanks guys for making this character for me. Dr. Watson! Now him and Sherlock can go solve the case! I really like what you guys did here totally took things I didn't think of. So awesome cause as player characters you would be great at solving puzzles and staying alive or against the party great adversaries both combined your players are gunna have one heck of a ride lol.
The production quality has gone through the roof recently!
My super healer is a 14lvl wizard, I just stop the damage from happening in the first place.
Counterspell and Fireball. The only heals you need xD i like it
I have been enjoying my Tiefling Life Domain Cleric who is now going into Celestial Warlock. Have a super cool back story for her also.
Good news for AL players, Aasimar are now legal in Season 9 and 10, and if you're in historic (season 9), you can get permanent wings as well!
I really like the idea of a Gloomstalker Ranger 5 / Life Cleric X. You get access to many of the awesome low level druid spells and most of the best Cleric spells all on top of being a Gloomstalker. I'd play him up like a gritty combat medic that has seen things.
I think the most potent healer is Druid 3, Life Cleric 17. I’m taking Druid for access to good berry and to healing spirit. Healing spirit cast with a ninth level spell slot does 59 healing with this build. But that’s 59 healing per round to any creature that moves through its space, for up to ten rounds. Up to 590 HP per creature is healed with this spell. But there’s no hard limit to how many people can be healed, especially out of combat. Then good berry becomes 4 HP per berry with a first level slot very early on, as per a sage advice. And what’s more is your berries heal you when others it them. It’s OP as heck.
Or you could go Life Cleric 1 / Lore Bard 19
Just Steal Good Berry and Healing Spirit.
Plus you get Song of Rest and because you are Charisma based the Inspiring Leader feat is even better.
So as much as that's amazing and stuff but if you were going to do that why not just cast Mass Heal? It's better because you can't lose concentration on it. I mean it's a level 9 slot!
It's not like you're really going to need thousands and thousands of healing points. A very lucky Barbarian with +7 Con and MAX hp still only has 380 hp total.
I'd personally only cast Healing Spirit at level 7 max. 45 healing per turn to a creature is enough. Got to save at least some higher magic for when shit goes bad and someone dies.
Also look at what you lose. Level 20, your God can just do stuff for you because of all your hard work. XD
I heard a funny story of a guy my friend knew. He prayed to his God just after the Barbarian was disintegrated in a big fight.
GM let him cast as an Action, True Resurrection and remade the Barb at full hp who grabbed a weapon off the ground and went right back to fighting, it cost the cleric big time tho.
4 Exhaustion levels, also 10d10 radiant damage as being a direct conduit for his God was painful, and the spell alone cost 25,000 gold. Still anything for a win right?
@@joemama114 I would have asked my God power to just beat the shit out of the big bad guy. Maybe merge with the barbarian for a while for added flavor and keeping the other player invested.
I don't know, having the usually meek priest turn into a screaming juggernaut sounds pretty fun to me :P
Also because maybe it's just me, but high level Cleric spells feel kind of meh to me. They are still powerful mind you, but they are just not flavourful, so we need to get our high level flavour whenever we can find it :P
Take Great Heal and Meteor Swarm for example: for a group of 5 people, Great Heal will heal exactly as much damage as Swarm will do on average, without counting stuff like Evasion or resistance that might greatly reduce damage. So in general you might say Great Heal > Meteor Swarm.
But still, from a narrative point of view the latter looks better than the former. Also because Great Heal is probably the strongest spell any cleric will ever cast in combat, no matter their dominion. You are a Storm Cleric that rules over lightning? An indestructible Forge cleric in perfect attunement with a world of machines or capable of creating divine artifacts? An unpinnable Trickery Cleric? Doesn't matter: in the final fight, you will cast Mass Heal like you were another Life Cleric :P
I've done the math. Compairing all the available healing from all classes that uses it with the basic rules of 2 short rest and 1 long rest in a day and 3 druid of the shepherd with unicorn totem/ 17 life cleric using all spell slots for the healing spirit beats everything by a significant margin. I assumed the rolls for non-life clerics to be half+1. I also assumed the party was 6 people. Your calculations may very based on your parameters.
Tiefling (for the CHA boost) Circle of Dreams Druid / Celestial Patron Warlock Pact of Tome with Book of Ancient Secrets for ritual spells. Use all of you spell slots for healing and use rituals and invocations for everything else. Fire eldritch blasts between heals. You get a +1d6 healing charge at every level for both classes. Really good healer at low levels but does fall off depending on which class you lean more into.
I am doing this with a Wood Elf in my current game but we are still level 2 so I am currently pure druid. I am doing it more for the RP of the character being an abandoned wood elf that was raised by wolves and has the Fey of the Summer and Winter Court fighting over her and now she is a witch of the woods healing ritual caster. We re-skinned Celestial so that it is still a Fey patron but mechanically the Celestial because I am the groups healer. So far after session one I kept everyone up and still killed about a third of the monsters. I plan on leaning more into Warlock unless the party really just needs the better healing than I will lean more on druid.
We have a Paladin, Ranger, Sorcerer, Barbarian, Rogue, and my Druid/Warlock so if by chance she dies or gets NPCed some how I likely will make a An Aasimar Cleric or Divine Soul Sorcerer. I don't know what level we will be getting to as it is a sandbox home brew game so I know this is a dangerous class progression as the healer but this way I at least get some spell slots back each short rest rather than just long rests and I can take some of the arcane spells that may prevent damage to make up for lower healing spells at higher levels. Besides I wanted to play a warlock from the start but no one else was going to be the healer so I made due.
I ran the healer feat on my Heblade/Swashbuckler. It's incredibly useful when you don't have a dedicated healer at 20th.
I'm glad that your EXTRA LOUD intro music only plays for a short period. I reach to adjust my volume every time since I'm always watching in the morning and don't want to wake up people in the next room. Fortunately it quits right as I get to the volume controls, so that short period is useful to me!
Another background that could work, especially with what you mentioned with the player justifying proficiency with the Herbalism Kit, is Sailor. Be a ship's Doctor.
❤
*Awesome video .*
*I would start it out the same .*
*But i would switch out a few things .*
*At some point i would make a video on my build .*
📝 *Please note going a few levels into druid results in the loss of ability to wear metal armor and shields ( which is all heavy armor and 65% of medium armor , only hide is excluded in the medium armor ( not made of metal & it's the worst medium armor ) ) .*
With the coming changes for Season 9, race might end up changing because you have the Assimaar available which adds yet another healing option to the mix.
I like this Super Healer style character. I made a healer character of my own and looks pretty similar:
Half-Orc (Second Life to stay up and running)
Life Cleric 1 (for that sweet, sweet hp boost as well as some heavy armor proficiency)
Celestial Warlock 9 (short rest spell slot recovery to keep the heals available as well as a pact with the chain for that find familiar range spell any touch spell)
Divine Soul Sorcerer 10 (to twinned, quickened, and distant spell any healing spells)
My super healer is a divine soul sorcerer played straight up like a armorless divine spellcaster. I been wanting to make this build for a while, play up the old school priest archetype. Empowered healing, metamagic letting you twin cast healing spells, cast them from a distance, use sorc points for extra spells, you have Con saves for concentration for a good buff spell, good stuff.
Just submitted my character concept to my DM. I wanted warlock originally for CC and Disguise self. And the DM suggested I go changeling, which allows me to build what I wanted and add some cool healing to it. We also get to start with a feat.
Lvl 1 Twilight Cleric w/healer feat
Lvl 5 Celestial Warlock, playing as I normally would be getting the healing ability and Rez.
Then I’ll bump up to 5 or 6 Twilight Cleric
Rest into warlock
Gives me the warlock play style I wanted with CC, sneaky sprite, disguise capabilities, and eldritch blast bot when things are good.
When things are bad, I have the cleric armor, spells lots for lots of healing or cc, + bonus action heals.
It might not be the best in the game, but my little warlock idea transformed into a utility God quickly! I can’t wait to play her!!
Sounds like a fun build with a lot utility and RP built in.

That heavy armor proficiency does you no good once you dip into Druid. I can't recall any heavy armor that doesn't have metal in it.
I've allowed Rock/Heavy Bone armor for Druids in my games. I just want it to be official.
I really like the Grave Domain Cleric, at level 1 you can deal a max power healing word as an Action and a spare the dying as a bonus action to dying players at 30 feet away. By level 6 you can turn crits into just normal hits and give the bad guys vulnerability to the next attack. Pretty huge, if wanting to multiclass the Glamor Bard can hand out temp hp like candy and at the same time allows players to get to a safe place for the cost of an inspiration die and Bonus action.
V-Human, life cleric, celestial warlock, healer feat. Great combo for a level 5 character. Pact of the chain and cure wounds with warlock spell slots. And class and race features. You have plenty of heals.
Hellish rebuke is also a good spell for support. Since you don't have a reaction usage.
"Herbalism kit wasn't an option" -- first option in the list of guilds is Alchemists and *Apothecaries*. Literally the definition of apothecary.
Nice versatile build, all things said. Other possibilities for healing classes to mess with are of course lore bard, celestial warlock, and paladin of redemption. Celestial Warlock's version of Inspiring Leader is not as impressive as the feat, but doesn't require ten minutes of effort, and your pool of celestial healing is even bigger than the druid's, still with a 60ft range. Still, I think you guys touched on most of the best class features.
cleric sorcerer I had a build for that back last year and my player was heal bot master race! some other ideas were one cleric had a familiar then healed with the familiar which was nice
in a level 20 game I was in I rolled up with a Mark of hospitality halfling with the Gruul Anarch background. (already ebberon and ravnica, but DM didn't care) as a Life Cleric 1 Wizard 19.
The specific gimmick was using goodberry as your spell mastery, then conjure animals (from Gruul Anarch) to force-feed them to allies. Since you can create berries long in advance, your concentration can be maintained to distribute hitpoints over a long range via owls (giant or otherwise). Meanwhile you are free to use your actions during combat to fight.
with berries at will there should be no shortage of berries going into a fight. Cast conjure animals at 3rd level and you are looking at 32 hitpoints distributed every turn at no action to you or any other PC.
5th level conjure animals is 16 berries per round, 64 HP.
7th level conjure animals gets you 24 berries per round, 96 HP every round.
Love that hoodie
My first great healer was Life Cleric 4/Druid 1 by the time the campaign ended, and his successor is his sister, an originally just divine soul, but now divine soul/celestial warlock due to story reasons. I think as far as a healing family goes, this is a really nice combo. If I get to play the cleric again, he’s going circle of dreams for a L20 C17/D3 build, compared to the sister’s L20 S14/W6 build.
I’m running a Life Cleric 2/Druid 1 right now, and I literally have an Aasimar Divine Soul/Celestial Warlock as my backup character for this campaign.
Life Cleric 1, Druid 1, if you do this right and get goodberry, you can heal 40hp per spell slot at level 2
Tausty Z :
I’m surprised that hasn’t been eliminated via errata like Healing Spirit was recently. Since it has not been, though, it is fair game!
My healing character I've got going on if I can ever find the time to play is level 1 level cleric 1 monk and one fighter. That way with his ac its high due to being naturally dexy and wise so his faith is protecting him. Then stag one more fighter level for action surge for more heals or punches. 2 or 3 more monk levels. For added rp flavor and styles of play in was thinking of the open hand to aid in controlling the placement of enemies at times. And then the rest cleric. Mixing the three how ever. You need it to help keep people alive and show a faithful warrior of the light isn't always decked in head to toe fullplate. A humble servant is all we need.
Healing Spirit has been Errata'd in the newer printing of Xanathar's Guide. It now says that Healing Spirit can, at most, heal a number of creatures equal to 1+ spellcasting modifier. This is also in Sage Advice.
Warforged Envoy Divine Soul Sorcerer 19/ Life Cleric 1. If I'm reading the text for the Warforged integrated protection correctly; I can walk around in the warforged equivalent of full plate with an 8 STR.
Metamagic combined with healing spells. A variety of amazing buff and blast spells, you can do much more than heal with only a couple of spell choices.
Healer feat is fun, I had a monk I gave that feat to and I called him a battlefield medic.
Makes sense, Monks are fast so they can reach allies quicker
To be fair this build works extremely well, now if only the rest of the party was competent enough to not die anyways
Pact of the chain celestial warlock is the best healer. Healing pet with a healing caster = OP and it has support options. With the human base from the build used here it is a healer without magic with the healer and medicine. A short dip into cleric or bard makes it insane at healing & support. Pet can assist your front line or backline fighters by giving them advantage on rolls.
@jabdazombie yup you can blast away with it. I usually go with the push & pull mechanic added to my eldritch blast because you can push or pull up to 4 targets. Handy for controlling the battlefield. Push or pull enemies toward the tank or rounding them up for a AoE attack. Also situationally you can push or pull targets out of high spots or off ledges, pirates in crows nests or snipers out out of a vantage point or just snatching someone off a balcony or out of a second or third story window.
Can you maybe look at the ultimate demonic swordsman? A hexblade makes sense but have at it NERDARCHY
Easy. Druid - healing spirit+ life cleric
So much info.... I wish someone wrote this down in outline by level form.
Nah. Just spit balling ideas
Sorcerer with the Divine Soul subclass. Cast your cure wounds with range, or double your healing words. Has access to full cleric and sorcerer spell lists.
10/10 guys.. 👍
Hm, with the release of Tasha's Cauldron, perhaps it's time to revisit this one?
If you do go 20th level then 17th life cleric and 3rd level druid make the best healers. All wisdom based so you dont need to spread your stats and you get the healing spirit spell that automatically rolls the maximum amount.
Variant Human (healer feat)
2 levels Life Cleric
18 levels Divine Sorcerer,
Twin spell, Quicken Spell, Distant Spell
In my opinion, lore bard is the best healer in 5e. The insane amount of buffs and debuffs: you can really make sure your party is not getting hit at all, and make sure your party hits the enemies, that beats reactive healing imo; cutting words, messing with the opponents attacks, saves, skill checks, and even initiative; magical secrets, get all the sweet cleric and paladin spells you miss from your own spell list. You can even do first level life cleric to get the armor proficiencies and the bonus to healing if you'd like, and save some extra spells known too from the cleric list. Bonus if you pick variant human and magic Initiate druid spell to get goodberrie and shillelagh, plus some other druid cantrip.
6th level lore bard. Aura of vitality as a magical secret.
Tobi1Kanobi93 glamour bard is a much better healer
I really want this build
I admit, the high level adventures are pretty rare. But if you got a wizard studying theurgy to 17th level, you could make healing (or word of healing) a signature spell. Not much during a fight, but between fights you have effectively infinite healing.
Signature Spell defines only wizard spells. So until a wizard subclass gets a heal spell, nogo on that idea.
@@briantravers9709 If you take the theurgy tradition, you can add up to one cleric spell (instead of a wizard spell) when you gain a level. According to the rules, "Any cleric spell gained from this feature is considered a wizard spell for you."
So spell mastery allows you to cast a first and second level spell at will, and your cleric spells count as wizard spells. I'm not seeing why this would be impossible if we're going by the rules as written.
Halfling of hospitality race:
1 lw in life cleric, 6 lw glamor bard , 5 lw celestial warlock.
heals - celestial dice 6d6 for easy heal (Bonus action)
-Goodberry with invisible imp and powered by life cleric extra heal
- Mass healing word (Bonus action)
- The imp summon invocation will always heal you the maximum amount.
- Sanctuary spell for easy saves.
Temp HP - Feat leadership
- Lw 3 Aid
- Glamor bard temp hp and with a free disengage for the team.
Notable Spells (Catnap for extra short rest)
Damage spells (Eldritch blast and Hunger of Hadar for slow, damage, and blindness )
Utility spells for the rest of the game (Guidance, Alarm, Comprehend Languages, Detect Magic, Identify) all are ritual but you have triple class so you have access to all of them.
Healers kits can only be used that way on a character once per rest.
Human Variant, Hermit background for Herbalism kit, Healer feat, Life Cleric/Celestial pact Warlock.
Shepherd Druid AOE heals with Spirit Totem(unicorn)
So clerics are great but not even in the top three for "Best healer" IMO. Bard is able to mitigate a lot of damage through various spells and class features as well as healing using spells and lore bards especially can steal various spells to mimic a healer but with more options. Druids top the list with summons and lots of out of combat healing they have access too as well as some of the more useful healing spells in the game and balm of the summer court meets the same criteria as the life domain (although you could take one level of life domain just to have that heal boost)
My personal favorite however is divine soul sorcerer/Celestial warlock 10/10.
From warlock you gain cure wounds, guiding bolt, flaming sphere, lesser restoration, daylight, revivify, guardian of faith, wall of fire, flame strike and greater restoration, light and sacred flame.. For free, which are all mainstays of the cleric list. You then have 10D6 healing you can do as a bonus action and at tenth level you have the effects of inspiring leader. Plus your casting slots are 5th level.
Outside of just pure healing warlocks also give you Invocations, which serve a lot of uses outside of combat and pact boons, which if you get pact of the tome you can serve as a ritual caster with a plethora of useful cantrips you pull from various classes as well as (if you use an invocation) the ability to get find familiar. A spell that you can use to cast touch spells at range such as cure and revivify. You also gain access to some spells from the warlock list that are useful such as armor of agathys. All are cast at your highest level (5th)
Then you have sorcerer, metamagic with healing spells is super useful and being a divine soul gives you extra healing and access to the cleric spell list but MOST important is that you can turn spell slots into sorcery points and sorcery points into spell slots. This is useful specifically because your few warlock spells can be turned into sorcery points, 5th level gives 7 sorcery points, and you can regain spells by turning those sorcery points into sorcerer spell slots. With invocations that let you ignore sleep forever you can just take a series of short rests to always be alert, prepped with healing spells, multicast buffs and extended death wards cast on all your party members before breakfast.
guys... i think you missed out on the druidic part... i think the shep circle has got dreams beat. your unicorn spirit will discombobulate most fights.. lvl ten means that all of your summoned animals which are fighting, and all your party within a thirty foot radius... long ways which you can move... is gonna be getting ten hp plus the little healing word you put out there to engage your unicorn... you could see over a hundred hp of life be thrown on the table... hard to kill anything with this much healing going on as well as the animals attacking and soaking damage too. this class is damned near too good played smartly and feats picked like inspiring leader, maybe a dip into way of peace to force your animals to to take the damage too
Did you guys consider Druid Sheppard? That bonus action Unicorn Spirit is pretty darn good with mass healing.
I just hit 14 with my life cleric and I got a Staff of Healing so I have healing for days.
I want that Hoodie! just not in red. :P
Variant human taking the Healer feat as a Life Cleric, but taking a one level dip into Druid. That before watching the video.
I havnt watched yet, but someone on our discord server, at will can heal every turn. Out of combat, its a full heal without using any spell slots. Theurgist Wizard, with Life Cleric as the domain. He also has Order Cleric 1, at 19, so that he can use his reaction, to let others get their full attack action. Its, some crazy shit. His 1st level at will spell being Healing Word, which heals for 11 hp, and then his Sim of himself, can do it as well, at will, for 22 hp to one person per round. :D
Yeah.... As they said in the video they made a healer within the rules of Adventure League.
That way you don't come across Homebrew OP crap
Bragging about some OP character that gets there through Homebrew stuff isn't really going to impress too many people....
@@theonlymatthew.l Theurgy is not Homebrew. Its "Official" WotC stuff, that has not made it into 5e print yet. That said, they are not allowed in AL, so would not qualify for this video. Think of UA like a rough draft of things, thats where Theurgist falls, for now.
@@DMVoidKitten if it's not in 5e print then it's not official. That's the ruling as far as I know. I'm quite familiar with Unearthed Arcana and indeed given the opportunity I would incorporate large portions of it. But like I said currently it's not legal either way unless Homebrew is allowed. Homebrew being anyting not officially printed by WotC at this point
@@theonlymatthew.l Heres the official standpoint on UA in Adventure League, as of 2015 "You can think of the material presented in this series as similar to the first wave of the fifth edition playtest. These game mechanics are in draft form, usable in your campaign but not fully tempered by playtests and design iterations. They are highly volatile and might be unstable; if you use them, be ready to rule on any issues that come up. They’re written in pencil, not ink.

Hey Nerdarchy could you guys do a video on making a character like dante, vergil, or nero from the devil may cry series? Im trying to make a character like them and im having some trouble figuring it out
My super healer is a Life Cleric Dreams Druid.
I’ve played that multiclass! It’s incredible
Shepard is better imo
@@brannenpfister2579 but it doesn’t do heals
@@varasatoshi3961 I would recommend reading the subclass again and then rethinking what you just commented
Enemy shaman topping off the minions...and the hexadin cracks their knuckles and says *hold my beer*
Esp if it's a conquest hexadin blinking in to melee, scaring the minions off and having the party focus on only the shaman. An assassin can make this guy's life a short nightmare as well not to mention a whisper bard or a deepstalker from the shadows. Plus it's good for him that he can heal...but what happens when he can't heal, because the 1-3 creatures he could heal are dead due to focus?
How do you two feel about MC'ing with the new Artificer class? I'm thinking of a character that creates their own potions etc. Just wondering if you think it's viable.
Potentially stupid question, but hopefully someone can help. When I look at the D&D Beyond Character Sheet in the Spells section, I only see the Cleric spells. Is there a way to see the Druid and Sorcerer spells on that sheet? The forums and search function are less than helpful...
Why not Celestial Warlock? You get pact slots back at short rest for some fast-coming spells.
I like your idea of a good accuser for a party of murder hobos.
Because i chose a life cleric our dm put 3 level 10 characters (we had four but our barbarian befriended the enemy and went passifist) against a dragon beholder cr 15 btw he made it harder because i chose life cleric. So we had one character die but we revived her. We eventually won. My char had 18 hp the monk had like 30 and the other had like 40 hp.
Using Twin spell and distant spell on touch spells... Cure Wounds never crossed my mind. Not even once. like.
What about celestial warlocks that can get there slots for healing spells as well as their class healing ability on short rests
Should have started with Sorcerer to get the +Con save to help with concentration.
Pass
been trying to think of a way to make a character that only uses their fists to fight.. but i dont know where to go other than monk, and i dont see how to make them work well at higher levels.
1st lvl cleric, then warlock, and maybe sorcerer
One thing is this clerics get heavy armor but when you read druid it states they will not wear metal armor in the PHB but I am not sure if that is meant as a restriction or as they can but frowned up on. I know in Adventure league it was a big topic and I believe they put out a update on Raw..could be wrong if I am that's kudos for me and my 17th lv cleric picking up my drood lvs and keeping my full plate +1
In my game i play a life cleric 1/ shepherd druid x. I get to wear metal armor cause i worship the goddess Mielikki, who lets druids of her faith wear metal armor without breaking their sacred vows. forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Mielikki
I have heard that Druid healing spirit can beat this healing
How is the level 9 spell slot of a wizard better at healing then a level 9 spell slot of cleric
he would be a combat medic blessed by a god of healing for his indiscriminate works on the battlefield delving into the teachings of life itself it wouldnt take long for him to take up the mantle of a druid protecting the life of plant life and animal. as a neutral party he heals both sides wounded by any war trying to minimize the dead a man without bias. maybe ends up healing the party one advenutre yet popping up and healing their enemy the next he maybe even a complete pacifist (no damage dealing spells just battlefield control/debufff)
So question: I've frequently heard people talking about multiclassed casters as being limited to certain spell levels, but unless my memory fails me, in the various character pages, whenever learning/preparing spells is mentioned, the book says you can prepare/learn any spell from the list that you have spell slots for. So as i read it, a 10/6/4 clr/sor/dru could still prepare 9th lvl spells from the druid or cleric lists, and the sor spells learned would only be limited by the slots available slot level when the sor level was taken (aside from the spells gained at 1st level or sor).
Did i missread something or miss an official errata? Or am i reading it right?
You should be right, the only thing that's different about learning is you have to take the level later, vs prepaired which you can just do after a long rest
So upon further reflection my initial answer was wrong, you calculate learned/prepaired spells for each class individually, so if you have 1 level in cleric and 19 levels in wizard, you can still only prepair first level spells from cleric, you can cast them at 9th level, but can't learn them at that level.
@@Fyngys yea upon some further digging i see where the multiclass rules sorta say that. Its still not super clear...and it makes multiclass casting leas good than innprevious editions, where slots and spells were calculated separately. Like in 3.5/Pathfinder...you didnt get the most powerful spells, but whooooo you could get a LOT of lower and middle level spells
Personally i would have done at least 3 levels bard for magical secrets, get aura of vitality from the paladin spell list plus whatever other spell you want, but thats just me
You need 6 levels of Lore Bard and 10 levels of any other type of Bard to get magical secrets
@@theonlymatthew.l lore bard dosent get magical secrets at 3rd lvl?
@@TimberwolfJ1 it gets to pick any two 3rd level spell when it reaches 6th level
Have you ever thought of making the ultimate Crowd Control build.
Bugbear+pole arm master+ sentinel. Battle master fighter.
Or you could go whisper bard or illusionist wizard.
Magic initiate (druid) cantrips shillelagh, druidcraft (makes plants grow and bloom faster.)
Level1 good berry 1/long rest.
Life domain cleric makes all 10 of the berries heal 4ph a piece. So 40 hp healing before casting your actual heal spells everyday at level 1. Also gives you a wisdom based weapon attack.
Gold Dragonborn Priest of Bahamut. Antagonist in an anti-hero campaign.
First I guess. Now that that cancer is out of way, good berry + 1st level life cleric is super cheesy, and I love it.
@Angrah is that the game devs' ruling?
According to Jeremy Crawford they also scale with spell slots. So if you cast Goodberry as a 3rd level spell they heal for 6 HP each. goo.gl/qk5Wd3 Now combine that with a Familiar who uses his actions to feed them to your allies you got yourself some super efficient, action economy breaking heals.
Except it is. As Devs stated, that mechanic is INTENDED to work, so if you are not allowing it at your table, then its yours homebrew against basic rulles ;-)
what about celestial warlock? could be fun to get that healing pool and refreashable spell slots for sorcery points
Circle of Dreams Druid Celestial Warlock. Access to Druid spells, 1 +1d6 per level pool of healing and short rest spell slots for druid spells.
Where are you guys from? Your enunciation is so unique.
New Jersey just outside of Philadelphia.

@@Nerdarchy that explains so much about the way you pronounce some of the words 😂
can you make a aasimar Paladin sorcerer divine soul
two pool of heal with healing hand lay on hand then paladin tank ability and cleric spell and sorcerer
For healing spirit, if you use it out of combat, couldnt everyone squeeze into one square and hug for 1 minute? and then everyone gets that 90d6 from spirit
Yes, that is exactly what happens.
this is a good idea for a build, and I was contemplating mixing Druid with my Life Domain Cleric myself, but you've overlooked one thing in this build. As stated in the Druid multi-class table; "druids will not wear armour or use shields made of metal"
meaning that in order for you to use any of your druid spells or abilities, you would need to drop the shield, and wear Hide armour, dropping your AC to 11 (12 + dex of -1), OR you would need to find the special magical armours that are made of natural materials, such as the Dragon Scale Mail, the Shroud of the Morning Warrior, Scorpion Armour, etc...
You can have a wooden sheild. Still a +2 to ac.
@@varietasVeritas Normally, yes, the DM would be able to allow something like that, but the problem is they designed this character
specifically for Adventurers League. Not only are there limitation imposed on players in AL, but there's also limitations on
what DM's can and can not do/give to their players. As is currently stands, there is no way in AL for someone to get a
"wooden shield", and no way to craft non-mundane armour.
@@ThunderBird1333
Players handbook says druids can have shields. Does AL have annother rulebook?
@@varietasVeritas yep. the rules may have changed with Season 8's release (or I have been mis-informed by other AL DM's) but from my understanding, unless you picked specifically the "Wooden Shield" that comes with druid's starting equipment (depriving
you of a weapon), there is no way in AL to purchase a wooden shield, and all magical shields that drop are made from Metal.
that being said, if I am wrong/misinformed (which I tend to be, I will admit), even with the wooden shield, he would still not be able to wear any armour better than Hide Armour, which would still have his AC set to 13 at max.
@@ThunderBird1333
You can have a weapon and a shield. Starting equipment is all about gold pieces not restrictions. If your character has a high dexterity then go with leather armour +sheild+dex mod. If you dumped dex then go scale mail and sheild or just wild shape for combat. Scale can be insect parts or the hide of the toughest critter the party has ever killed. Sounds like your DM is being a dick because druids are so op in this addition.
Maybe a favored of Silvanus or some other God of nature
Hahaha this poor shmuck would be constantly juggling their spellcasting focuses (foci?) as they ricochet between casting cleric, druid and sorcerer spells - maybe get a wooden staff, set the orb on top of it and nail the holy symbol on as well lol
Or now that I think logically go for a component pouch, but whatever, that's a lot to keep track of!
wasnt their a spell which made healing spells maximized?
beacon of hope
This spell bestows hope and vitality. Choose any number of creatures within range. For the duration, each target has advantage on Wisdom saving throws and death saving throws, and regains the maximum number of hit points possible from any healing.
when is the stream coming guys?
Good berry + life cleric is alot of healing yeah, but each berry counts as a full days worth of nourishment, so what do you think if you eat 5 berries, being worth 5 days of food just wolfed down? That would be an issue for me as a DM. There isnt really a case of "getting fat" in the game, but there has to a be a limit right?
Lets say there are two people, one slams 5 goodberry's. The other eats 15 whole meals in 48 seconds. The guy who ate the magic equivalent of a meal pill is a hell of a lot better off than the guy who just had his stomach rupture. The goodberry's transfer all of the nutrients, minerals, and vitamins to the consumer without all the bulk and mass.
That would make good berry only good for replacing rations as even at level 1 the 1 HP from a berry is almost pointless unless you can force feed it to someone to stabilize them. Granted they really are intended to be used out of combat as 1 HP per action is also kind of pointless. Life Domain makes it 4 HP and you can pass out a few to each party member but still it would be better to just cast healing word on who ever needed it so they can use their action to attack rather than gain back 4 HP. Out of combat though it would be nice to top people off. Also a good berry is not a meal it simply sustains someone for a day. This could simply be by magic and have nothing to do with calories. I would actually go the other way and say someone who is only ever eating good berries might loose a bunch of weight and become frail as you don't need much to sustain someone.
Custom backgrounds are still AL legal as far as I can tell.
Druids can’t wear the heavy armour since it’ll have metal and adventure league seems to talk the rules as written and it says what all the heavy armour is made of in there.
Before watching this I am going to say. Dream druid and celestial warlock with a pinch of diving soul sorcerer.
Yuan-Ti Pureblood Divine Soul Sorcerer.
V human life cleric + 2 levels of shepherd druid with unicorn spirit. Who needs mass heal when all of your heals are AoE heals?
"each creature of your choice in the aura also regains hit points equal to your druid level." meaning 2 HP if you only have those 2 levels in druid...
@@drummertheman At level 3 that's great. Healing Word does 1D4+8 (depnding on your WIS) to the target and 2 to everyone else in the aura. 20 points of healing to a party of 5 as a bonus action level 1 spell? Yes, please. Are you getting beat up? You don't even need to be in the same room, just cast the spirit and run away. Throw a heal on yourself in safety and everyone in the party gets a taste.
sure at level 3 that will be pretty clutch. Then every time you level up after that the extra levels you permanently commited to druid become less useful. *If* you go to max level with that character you will have wanted to do something more useful with those levels. If you're playing a strictly low level game where you won't pass maybe 5th level it could add up across the campaign I suppose.
Just get the Bear Spirit and bring on the Temp HP. It's like pre-healing. I usually find it better in the long run.
Cleric of Life + Shepard Circle + Goodberry....
