    What do Bard, Artificer and Wizard have in common?
    Deadly lack of frontline.

    A good newer magic item is the Crysyal Blade from Fizban's. An extra 1d8 Radiant damage on hit makes a longsword or rapier equivalent to the damage of a 2nd level shadow blade without concentration. Could also get this as a greatsword. Plus you can get some extra healing or some light (if you don't have darkvision).

    I made a build based off of this idea and have played it quite a bit and it’s so fun!
    I made a multiclass between bladesinging wizard and Rune Knight UA fighter. There’s intelligence synergy, more spells, a better extra attack that allows for shadow blade and green flame blade combos, and of course armour class out of the ass.
    As for race I used aasimar crossed with a homebrew race- my character was two characters that got literally cut in two and put back together by a mad scientist. For flavour one half was the caster and the other the martial.

      @DarthBoberEXMinMaxMunchking  2 года назад +1

      Been wanting to make a Spirit Shroud-centric character for a while. That spell can be a trap, but it does offer enough outside of just pure damage that I'd at least consider it for spellswords.

      Strength is so straight forward. I dunno if it's worth a vid. GWM. Sentinel. Polearm does NOT work with echo. Nor does thrown weapons.

      Great build, but much more powerful at high levels. Imo scribes wizard might be better than sorcerer for switching spell damage, and wizard is obviously better than sorcerer. But sorcerer is much better thematically, which I feel is generally more important than combat efficiency, especially if you just wanna have a good time.

    Sentinel doesn't give you an opportunity attack. It gives you a chance to "use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against the attacking creature." And the interaction with War Caster only works with opportunity attacks.
    Or is there sage advice or something contradictory to this?

    • @DarthBoberEXMinMaxMunchking
      @DarthBoberEXMinMaxMunchking  2 года назад

      Sentinel does give you an opportunity attack against an enemy who uses Disengage action.
      I don't remember ever saying War Caster interacts with Sentinel's non-opportunity reaction attacks.
      If I did, I was wrong, but I doubt it.

    What should I priorize as a damage option, shadowblade or booming blade? Since the blade cantrips errata I'm always unsure if I should stick with shadowblade and extra attack or booming blade/green flame blade with war magic

      ruclips.net/video/PjU0Cj_OXWY/видео.html made a video about SCAGtrips, that change is stupid, it should continue workin with Shadow Blade.
      You can play however you want, but even Crawford said Shadow Blade wasn't the reason for a change.

    I do not get that wisdom and inteligence stats are similar and str so low when you are just third caster and also casting from wizard spellbook. Is it because wisdom is quite frequent testing stat? Still do not get str so low.

  • @bwhit7919
    @bwhit7919 2 года назад +1

    Is it worth dipping a full caster for extra slots? An upcast shadow blade and three attacks might be better than four attacks and no upcast

    • @DarthBoberEXMinMaxMunchking
      @DarthBoberEXMinMaxMunchking  2 года назад +2

      Not worth it for damage, it's pretty much the same, because that 4th attack deals 3d8+5 on a hit. Other than grabbing a couple extra level 1 spells, which is nice, I don't see the point. Single-class Eldritch Knight is the way to go if you ask me.
