    I got inspired by this build and had a thought of a religious follower of tiamat and thought either a dark urge dragon born or just a regular origin build would be fun and chose
    Blue dragonborn
    Resistant to lighting damage and is a dragon race of the chromatic bloodline
    1 level of ranger for natural explorer poison resistance, keeper of the veil for arcana proficiency
    1 level wizard for scrolls
    10 levels of tempest cleric for cleric spells and to add more power to your lightning abilities and 10th level divine intervention
    For armor
    Helmet hood of the weave for a +2 to spell attack and spell save DC or
    Hat of the sharp caster to reroll 1s and 2s on damage dies for spells
    Chest piece flawed helldusk armor so when hit enemies can take 1-4 fire damage
    Boots varsh ko'kuu's boots gives resistance to acid damage and acidic surfaces don't affect you
    Cloak flesh melter cloak when hit attacker takes 1d6 acid damage
    Gloves helldusk gloves deal and additional 1d6 fire damage and +1 to spell attacks and save throws
    Or ichorous gloves (pairs well with the corrosive flail and fleshmelter cloak)
    For weapon
    Dragon throat glaive for your breath attacks and infuse your weapon with an element type
    Flail of ages Depending on what kind of damage this weapon does, it also inflicts:
    Acid condition, Chilled condition, or Burning condition. Elemental Age: Give the Flail of Elemental Ages a +1 bonus to Attack Rolls and an additional 1d4 Acid, Cold, or Fire damage to its strikes depending on the elemental age so it gives you more elemental damage
    Corrosive flail deals additional Acid damage equal to your Proficiency Bonus. On a hit, create a pool of acid around the target which reduces Armour Class by 2 this stacks with boots of varsh ko'kuu's boot so your ac doesn't get reduced.
    Handmaidens mace deal poison damage and brings strength to 18
    Shortbow darkfire bow resistance to fire and cold damage and can cast haste
    Accessories
    Necklace of elemental augmentation When one of your cantrips deals Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Thunder damage, add your Spellcasting Modifier to the damage dealt.
    Broodmothers embrace when healed coat your women in 1d6 acid damage
    Rings
    Ring of elemental infusion When you deal Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Thunder damage using a spell or cantrip, that element infuses your weapon.
    Until the end of your next turn, you deal an additional 1d4 damage of that element on your first successful weapon attack.
    Strange conduit ring while concentrating on a spell you do an additional 1d4 psychic damage
    The idea of this build is you are the blessed champion of tiamat with the racial choices and armor and gear you have resistance to lighting, fire, cold, poison, and acid damage each damage type represented by each head of tiamat and have so many ways to deal elemental damage some at the same time and tiamat punishing enemies for hitting her champion by taking different elemental damages.

    I totally expected you to take at least one level of cleric and choose Tiamat as your deity in case there are dialog options in game. If you take the trickery domain one level and then go two levels of druid and take the land subclass you can get all of the elemental types pretty quickly, alongside the shapeshifting dragons are also known for via disguise self and wild shape. Three levels of monk, taking the elements subclass, would get you chromatic orb on short rest recharge via ki, as well as Wis to unarmored AC and Dex to melee attack/damage. Combine those and by level 6 you're a treacherous, chromatic force of nature at any distance, as any dragon should be. From there I'd go at least to monk 6 for extra attack and ki empowered strikes, then Land druid 5 and pick Mountain to get flight as a capstone at level 12, ending at Cleric (Trickery) 1 / Druid (Land) 5 / Monk (Elements) 6 as a well-rounded emulation of Tiamat herself. Who needs armor or weapons when you could just BE a dragon? Would be fun for a dark urge playthrough.

    some tweaks I would make:
    Without asuming ethel boost, I would leave cha at 17, con at 16, dex at 14. I would take a +1/+1 to charisma and dex, and with the other feat I would take moderately armored. Draconic sorcerer scales work with a shield equiped (as it should), so we count grab katheric's shield to boost our AC and give us back the spell DC and attackroll we gave up. We would still deal less extra damage with our fire spells (+4 vs +5), but now we are much more survivable in general, and can wade into melee much more conformtably. It also opens up the possibility of exotic medium armor of agility, or the unwanted masterwork.
    Asuming ethel's boon, I would go 8, 14+1, 14, 10, 10, 15+2 (or some variation of 8 8 12), grab ethel's boon for 18 charisma, max charisma at 20, and then pick up moderately armored. We would give up 12 hp for +2 AC (at minimum) and a +1 spell DC (once again all from ketheric's shield).
    Using the shield would mean using something that isnt a 2handed weapon, but there are a lot of choices, and you could buff them all with the drakethroat glaive, or use flail of ages itself. There comes a point where the weapon's base damage becomes less impactful, because you stack so many riders on it. This is more susceptible to enemies with DR and resistance to that damage type, because its easier to nullify it.
    Or it could be just me not wanting to give up a shield if we arent going GWM

    Lore on Tiamat, sometimes lawful other chaotic evil Dragon Goddes and mother of the Chromatic Dragons, she's the sister and other half of Bahamut the lawful good God of order and father of the Metalic Dragons, their the Childen of the long dead former primordial Dragon God IO and God of balance who created both to compliment eachother as opposites and to eventually create a true perfect Dragon race together that has the best aspects of both chaos and order but they immediately hated eachother upon being created becoming eternal enemies, Tiamat at somepoint was banished and imprisoned in the nine hells for her atrocities against Mortals and other Gods which might have permanently bound her to Avernus but also quickly made her the first and true Archdevil of the first plane of hell thil Zariel fell becoming it's Archdevil, Tiamat now resides in a grand cathedral inside of Avernus guarding the one and only entrance to the last plain of Hell called Dis where the lord of hell Asmoudeus rules from, Tiamat is forced to guard the gate to Dis as punishment by Asmoudeus when she failed her duties as an Archdevil after Zariel took over Avernus
    Currently Tiamat is trapped in Avernus but the cult of the Dragon and her children regularly attempt to free her or to the very least create a powerful avatar for her in the material plane

    Hobo I've got a build idea. I've been trying to recreate the feel of playing a Swordmage from 4E D&D. They where defenders who could shield allies and merge spells and blade work with a fair bit of teleporting. My Idea is basically to take some of your items from the Elemental Gish build, add a couple and multiclass with wizard for abjuration. I want to use armor of Agathys and fire shield alongside the Shield of Scorching Reprisal. With all of that they take damage whether they hit us or not and we're super tanky. I call it the Knight of the Immortal Flame. I'm just not sure on all the details.

    My first and only character to get to act 3 was a pure ice draconic bloodline sorcerer dragonborn and there's another item (don't remember where or what slot) that also gives another Cha modifier to cantrips, so between that, the necklace and the lvl 6 draconic sorcerer ability you'd be getting 3d8+15 damage on an appropriate cantrip. Is it still as much as 3-target Eldritch Blast? Probably not, but it chunked enemies health. Combined with the item that creates an ice surface whenever you deal ice damage, Ray of Frost just took people out of play for a turn or two.

    Great vid! Sadly Darkness isn't as good, the patch changed the AI so melee enemies don't care about darkness much. It's still good vs ranged enemies though, but the melee ones will run in and attack with both advantage and disadvantage (because both of you are blinded), so darkness doesn't make a difference.
    On a side note, I really wish they had items that supported Necrotic, Acid, Poison, etc. The items in this game really push you to go ice or lightning sadly. There's only a handful of other elemental damage items. Id love to make a Acid mage or a necrotic cleric or something. Anyway, just wanted to point out darkness + devil sight isn't so fantastic anymore. About the only good thing is, is that with devil sight you can attack from your darkness cloud but I'm not sure that's worth an invocation slot anymore. May have to test that myself.
