5e wizard with few to no direct damage spells.
5e wizard with few to no direct damage spells. Stupid idea? Rest of the party is martial classes, fighter, paladin, ranger, barbarian, rogue.
Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Okay. That's what he doesn't do. What does he do, then?
ReplyDeleteSo, a bard?
ReplyDeleteNo, bards are terrible.
ReplyDeleteSo how friendly to save or suck/save or die spells is 5ed?
ReplyDeleteSeems like you could go along just fine and still more than carry your weight this way but I am really not familiar with 5ed.
He probably makes dire prognostications. That's a diviner. Ok, that was easy.
ReplyDeleteEric Duncan I'm not either. I've only played a 5e warlock but I'm getting the itch to make him act reckless and make a backup.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a solid plan!
ReplyDeleteSave or Suck is very good in 5E especially since you can use that Sorcerer power to force them to roll disadvantage on it.
ReplyDeleteI say go for it, the party is probably doing enough damage, be the weird one muttering in the back who's situationally useful.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I play in our 5e game. Aggi Redwing, forest gnome diviner Wizard, and son of a famous military captain yet he refuses to learn the martial sorcery of his mother's profession. Though, be does carry a sling she gave him out of a sense of obligation. Ironically, when I'm absent for a session, the GM takes particular delight in Aggi using the sling. So far, he's gotten the kill on several badies.
ReplyDeleteI adore the playstyle. Merely doing damage now seems terribly boring.
Aggi has become one of my top ten faves.
I approve. If this is stupid I don't want to be smart.
ReplyDeleteMy PC is a witch, And her powers consist of a little ability in flying, and levitating things.
ReplyDeleteHer primary ability is to mirror or suppress the powers of others. So before that is useful I need to RP and guess their powers, and find a way to make it useful.
No combat skills at all. Low physical attributes. Still fun to play in a combat.
Tony Demetriou that's a cool setup. What system?
ReplyDeleteDirect damage spells are boring.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Baugh Homebrew system, Roll3
