We had some fun with the cloud rune last game: Our party had to resque some NPC from a hill giant. We really wanted to kill this thing as quickly as possible, so our aasimar Rune knight (in character) yells: "Druid! Let the stars fall upon me and him both!" And I figured correctly that he meant: "twinspell guiding bolt and hit my PC and the giant." I go, "Ok" as our DM is stuttering: "what are you guys doing?" one bolt hits the giant, and the other hits our rune knight who uses his cloud rune reaction to bounce the attack to the hill giant!
Decided to pick a Goliath Rune Knight Folk Hero. I then saw this video and confirmed I made the right choice.
Bastard combo(polearm master & Sentinel) as a huge Rune Knight is the most fun I've ever had in D&D
Dang you didn't even talk about oversized weapons! That's the bread and bitter of this build. Either that or going full grappler
Poor B'stard Level 5 and no magic weapon Lol.
With a hit a flash of light happens, then then the wound appears on the other guy.
I took the lucky feat at 4th level and swing my greatsword with my eyes closed. I roll with disadvantage, then I feel lucky. I turn disadvantage into super advantage. 15% chance to crit, but I can do it 3 times, so almost a 50% chance of critting on my first 3 attacks.
my personal interpretation of the cloud rune is that you magically redirect the kinetic energy elsewhere, so it like comes out the opposite side of your body of where you take the hit and appears as a cloud leaving behind a trail before slamming into the target with the preserved energy of the attack.
This is exactly my character. Great weapon master, slasher feat (for the same reason) and goliath. I’m an almost incurable multiclasser, but I’m loving my rune knight fighter. I do excellent damage, I can take a beating, and I can protect my group. An ally just got critted? Nope. Cloud rune. I’m having a blast.
My friend plays a Aasimar RK. In game he's not truly an aasimar, but a decendant of a line of humans who interbread with chaotic elemental demons or something. He will assume a "destructor form" and become this giant winged abomination, by activating radiant soul and giant's might in the same turn. It might not be the best race/class combo, but it looks cool.
Cloud Rune:
I created a goliath rune knight folk hero as well! It seemed like a natural fit. I love the way goliath synergizes with rune knight on a spiritual and mechanical level.
I’ve always pictured the cloud rune as an illusionary mirror esc thing- like shimmering air that appears in front of you and that’s how things hit other things.
I have been playing Runeknight Goliath as well.
Currently playing a Firbolg that was raised by Goliath. He started at lvl1 as a barbarian but I took a level of fighter at lvl2. Plan to take them thru Rune Knight and even built it into their backstory. Thanks for confirming that it will be as fun to play as I had hoped.
For me as a player, II'd flavour the cloud rune redirect as for a split second the attacker is wreathed in wispy clouds, appearing in ghostly form to strike the redirect before the ghostly form and the clouds fade. Tricky cloud giant magic.
Played a Rune Knight dragonborn in a one shot yesterday. 4 of us were level 12 each, and our DM thought it would be fun to have us fight an Ancient White Dragon (CR 20). Most of us had randomly generated our characters, so they weren't terribly optimized. I used giant might, our wizard cast enlarge on me, and I proceeded to use my +13 on athletics checks to grapple and shove this dragon into submission. Got 3 rounds of not having to worry about flight and forced disadvantage from the dragon, as well as a couple of wasted turns of it trying to break out. We ended up winning with only 1 casualty.
There is a race specific Feat from DM Binder, it is called Dawncaller. (also a subclass depending on source material). Our DM let us take one race specific feat at the start of our campaign. It helps prevent everyone from being a variant human or some custom stuff where you get a feat. It works out nicely. I took the Dawncaller Feat.
Just got to Lvl 3 with my Mountain Dwarf RK in our new campaign - also with a Maul in Hand. So I just got the Runes for a session and did not have a chance to really use them yet.
i was really looking for this video glad i found it
