      @@ArcaneAgent Hopefully you're coming out of it. But I know how it goes. It's an under-appreciated health cost of putting us all on lockdown for our health.
      Along with the under-appreciated health cost of shutting down the economy and claiming anyone who wants it to start up again "doesn't care about human life" - when the fact is millions and millions of people have lost their livelihoods, which are called "livelihoods" for a reason, and impoverishing much of the country will result in increased deaths. (Which they then will likely attribute that entire spike in increased mortality/lowered life expectancy to "Covid-19.214-6" when the fact is even a garden-variety-recession has knock-on health effects since impoverished people have a harder time taking care of their health, and people have less money to generously contribute to things that improve health, so therefore more people die. It happened even in the 2008-10 recession, which had no proximate "health crises" outside of the recession itself. Poverty kills and impoverishing entire nations will kill.
      On that happy note, I do hope you're doing better.

    Good builds to do:
    1st idea: A pro bard build
    2nd idea: An arcane caster that actually casts more than one spell they've focused everything on casting: a caster that isn't a one-trick-pony-build for once.
    3rd idea: A mighty paladin; could have some secondary class but don't overdo it.
    4th idea: There is no "4th idea"
    5th idea: A ranger, either Menacing or two-handed weapon.
    6th idea: A ranged build; remembering that they get their multiple attacks much easier than melee combatants.
    7th idea: a powerful cleric and/or druid build.

    can you do an unarmed monk caster build? like monk into dragon disciple with like sorc or magus as the spell caster that unlocks dragon disciple. Unless you think there is a better/more efficient way of doing it.
    I'm trying to engineer an unarmed monk that uses buff spells and touch attacks. I was thinking dex/cha build cha for casting dex for attack/defense. I would like to try to get as many monk levels as possible(16pref) but I can go lower on monk levels if the trade-off is worth it.

    • @ArcaneAgent
      @ArcaneAgent  4 года назад

      If you went 16 monk then you'll have very low spell casting. The main game typically ends at level 17

    • @timfriday9106
      @timfriday9106 4 года назад

      ​@@ArcaneAgent Yeah, I'm going for a small party (2 or 3) with exp sharing turned off to boost my main to 20 as fast as possible(using save scumming on traps etc to help boost level as well)
      This is what I've come up with that I think maximizes the best aspects of a few different builds i've seen:
      monk 10(gets lawful ki strike for unarmed attacks)
      Vivi 1 for mutagen
      Thug 1 for frighten ability
      Sorc 1 To unlock Dragon Disciple
      DD 4 for the 4str/2ac/breath weapon
      Pala 2 for the cha to saves.
      feats will be going towards crane riposte and Cornugon smash
      spells will be almost exclusively buff spells
      I considered dropped thug and sorc for 2 level dip in ES for spell strike but, I wasn't sure about the spell strike interaction with flurry.
      I was going for all the 1 level dips in a row:
      monk level 1
      vivi level 2
      thug level 3
      sorc level 4
      DD level 5
      DD level 6
      monk level 7
      monk level 8
      DD level 9
      DD level 10
      Monk levels until 10monk (inserting Paladin levels when/if needed)
      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      I saw several intimidate builds that utilized dazzling display/Cornugon Smash to pretty devastating effect and 1 level dip for thug for frightening to get an extra round of CC, plus the sneak attack die synergizes well with the rest of the build.
      Everyone Takes the 1 level vivi dip for the mutagen and it just seems silly not to.
      DD with the 1 level dip for sorc making this a total of 5 levels seems worth it for the spell casting(buffing)/4str/2ac/breath weapon/bite attack etc.
      but here is where I hit a crossroads, if I want to keep leveling monk, using intimidate/persuation with dazzling display/cornugon smash seems like the best option. I could put more levels into sorc but, at what point does that become too over-indexed on casting and I lose out on my melee effectiveness/survivability?
      Based on the monk level progressions/abilities it seems like level 10 was the minimum to stop for the lawful ki strike/added move speed/flurry attacks. If there is a way around that to make unarmed strikes get thru late-game DR I'm all ears. If so, I can drop monk levels to 6 and drop thug dip, giving me 5 more levels to pump into sorc for additional utility/spell casting. OR, at that point, with that many levels, I could go ES into DD instead and use spell strike to pump dmg. I'm worried however that this leaves me a little too vulnerable since frighten helps with tanking, I would need to be able to pump out serious dmg through spell strike or, the ES/sorc levels would need to open up another path for buffing/tanking. I really like the monk abilities so the more the merrier, I was trying to get to monk 12 for the 2d6 dmg and 40ft move speed, and the extra Ki power my understanding is that the 2 level pala dip was basically mandatory for late game.
      I even played with a 3monk dip for the fast move/ki strike (magic) but it felt like the more I shied from the monk levels the less effective unarmed melee seemed and being an unarmed melee caster is kind of the whole point.
      I'm a little unsure of the interaction between spell strike and flurry of blows...the way I read it, the spell goes off on the attack with flurry so you just add a spell effect/dmg to your flurry. but with 6levels ES and 4 levels, DD that's only level 3 arcane spells and it just seems like going straight sorc is the better option.
      maybe my feat progression just needs more optimization so I can still get crane/cornugon feats?
      I know this is a lot but, I've spent a lot of time trying to pin down the best way to min/max an unarmed Monk/DD. I played a version of this type of character in a tabletop way back and it's still by far my fav character/campaign i've ever played and looking to do his recreation justice in this game.
      I would love to chat if you have the opportunity. We could do a 'coaching video' for the channel if you were interested or if you had a few mins to look this build over and let me know what you think? OR, I would be happy to throw ya some bones to be able to pick your brains for a few mins on some build path ideas I had for my party. I really like this game. I love Tabletop DnD but my time is somewhat limited so I'm only going to do like 2 playthroughs and I kind of want to 'get it right' the first time.

      @@ArcaneAgent Interesting. Maybe this won't work as a solo build, I can understand that. But in a campaign game with a group of 6, a human lvl 4 Invulnerable Rager (or 6) or those extra 2 levels into Rogue Thug, and the rest as true class Druid with the plant domain is ton of fun, lots of utility. Invulnerable rager gives you dmg reduction and if you go thug 2 you get evasion plus some skills. if you go to 6 as barb you get more damage red. As plant domain druid you get the bramble armor for protection as well plus all the utility as the druid gives you. Then as a human you get more skills and feats so go cleave build and combat casting plus extend spell and you're good.
      Highly recommend you check this out for Amiri specially or as a custom class build.
      And as a group of 6, all around 19-20 level in the campaign you are tearing shit up anyway so making fun unique builds is viable :)

    How about different builds on Arcane Monk
    I've had lots of issues making a good one, I've gone about making it a pure Magus because I don't want to slow down spell progression further
    Should it rely more on touch spells or wands of touch or buffing wands such as True Strike?
    Seems you get free unarmed Strike weapon focus if you check after taking 1st lvl.
    Using Stone Fist seems to make melee attacks count as touch, makes damage into 1d6 and doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity, alternatively improved unarmed fist also does't provoke it.
    Eldritch Arcana has traits that reduce metmagic level increases and increased arcane pool of lebeda. So the question is should I play to rely more on spells or using magus arcana?
    I like the idea of lowering Shocking Grasp by 2 metamagic lvls and empower it, later intensifying it as well but such focus in my opinion is more justified if you can cast more times, in which case I think Eldritch Scion is better, but Sword Saint get very good AC.
    If by buffing the effecs of lvl 1 touch spells through metamagic, should I even bother with Stone Fist for increasing damage slightly.
    Benefit of Swordsaint is that it improves AC using the intelligence modifier as well, sadly spells need to be memorized
    I like reducing metamagic levels off shocking grasp, allowing me to empower at no level increase, intensify allows it to go past 5d6, but focusing on the spells this much makes me more comfortabe with Scion. What are your thoughts?
