what class to play for tomb of annihilation

2018-02-23,03:40 PM (ISO 8601)

If you were to play Tomb of Annihilation with an anonymous group, what's the one race/class you lot would want in the party?

You lot know it will be a party of four or five PCs. You have no thought what the other players volition build. All official sources are at your disposal.

Would y'all make sure y'all build a ranger? Cleric? Paladin? Druid?

I feel similar traps and undead will exist the biggest challenges, so some type of Dex-based Cleric with the Dungeon Delver feat would probably be my recommendation.

From what I've heard, overland travel isn't that large of a deal because you can hire a guide, so that de-emphasizes rangers, which is a shame considering how much people crap on rangers. A spotlight campaign for them would have been nice.

Your thoughts?

Cleric, ane fashion or another. Healing is more important than usual, you really demand purify food and drink, undead are all over, and you'll desire high defense, too. Our life cleric is our MVP, and it's not even an unusual build. But a classic loma dwarf life cleric.

Revised Ranger has really shone in our campaign. The ranger navigation stuff let u.s. tear through the jungle at our leisure, and he picked damage bonus vs abominations which lets him split Yuan-Ti like turkeys.

I'd say anything that uses magic that primarily allows saving throws (eg Bard) is weaker, since advantage on spell saves is very mutual later on y'all hit Omu. Stuff like sorcerer (that rolls to hit) is gonna have a much improve time.

EDIT: best race dwarf, no question. There's tons of poisoners, and a lot of damn stonework to examine.

I would likely become for a Yuan-Ti Paladin/Sorcerer. That provides some actress healing, immunity to poison, immunity to affliction, and since I e'er become Oath of the Ancients, resistance to spells. I too end up providing some arcane support to the party.

Isn't Yuan ti piece of cake way a common criticism of the module?

Lizardfolk Scout Rogue/ Velociraptor (Wolf) Totem Barbarian. Wilderness exploration, stealth, and very hard to kill all in one package. The ability of guides to do their task depends on what i(s) y'all choose, the dm, and the will of the dice gods. Word of alert Never hire the pair of incompetant adventurer guides, can't remember their names.

We had our Session 0 terminal dark and we ended upwardly with a cleric and a barbarian, both human, I believe. I was going to play a dwarf ranger, just because dwarf, but I chickened out and went variant homo crossbow proficient instead. I was worried that such a small party wouldn't practice enough harm to last nigh battles.

We also have a fourth actor joining us adjacent session who hasn't decided on a class even so. We'd exist pretty gear up if he chose paladin.

Roll20 should actually add together a mouse-over office where it pops upwards the PCs class and race when you mouse over their token. Information technology would make map navigation a lot easier when y'all're zoomed way out.

I was worried that such a minor party wouldn't do enough damage to last most battles.

We also have a fourth player joining us next session who hasn't decided on a class yet. We'd be pretty set up if he chose paladin.

I'd say that's a pretty good party. You lot're missing arcane utility, only so far I haven't found information technology all that necessary. I'g the arcane guy in my party, and I'1000 currently an Eldritch Knight iii/State of war Wizard two. I rarely take cause to use my magic, aside from cantrip slinging, shield, and scouting with my hawk familiar. And that last part'south more because our rogue is atrocious at his job.

Aye, human being. It all fell together pretty well. I'll end up being our primary scout. I'thou thinking of going Gloomstalker 5 and so going Rogue 3 for some more utility. Ranger 6 doesn't really offering that much over Rogue 1. Thinking Dungeon Delver or Sharpshooter at Ranger 4.

I've had very skilful luck with the grung rogue AL surrogate. My only error with the character is that it uses the assassinator classic rather than scout, which would be _way_ more applicable.

The surrogates are bound to phb merely. Otherwise they can easily become stupid. They are far meliorate made than I was expecting

2018-02-26,06:11 PM (ISO 8601)

My revised ranger has been absolutely awesome so far. Double travel speed is a huge boon, and never getting lost has meant that we basically don't have to curl to navigate. It does remove a office of the challenge of wilderness travel, merely I can't say it hasn't been useful.

Fair enough. It's simply frustrating to reach level nine and realize that my grung assassin tin can at present arts and crafts a undercover identity, which is just what'due south needed in a tomb deathtrap. During downtime I have him crafting a fake mustache and perfecting his double life equally "Pierre LaBouche".

2018-02-27,02:54 AM (ISO 8601)

A Thief Rogue with the Archaeologist background, dungeon delver feat, a fedora, an unhealthy fear of snakes, and a whip.

Maybe a splash of Hunter ranger in there as well.

Favored enemy Nazis... err undead.

Not surprised it is considered easy mode, and adding Adjuration of the Ancients Soradin just makes information technology easier. Only I am going later effectiveness and efficiency over difficulty. Besides, information technology'southward already easy mode with a Moon Druid human x3

Yuan-ti Ancients Pally does seem pretty damn broken. Advantage on saves versus magical furnishings, and Resistance to magical damage, too?
At to the lowest degree the Aasimar Paladin I've got in listen needs to spend a feat on the semi-official Celestial Protection racial feat to get that doubling down and going hardcore Dragon Historic period Templar on a poor Mage. Throw in Mage Slayer for giggles, also..

2018-02-28,07:03 AM (ISO 8601)

That's why I play Bards, if I'm playing Yuan-Ti. It feels less cleaved (though, nevertheless potent) and more thematically advisable as Bards make first-class infiltrators and Volo's guide notes that Pureblood infiltrators sometimes 'go native' in one case they realize they don't have to be the lesser of the heap in human being society.

2018-02-28,12:42 PM (ISO 8601)

A Wizard. Whatsoever sorcerer really. I don't want to spoil also much only without Leomund's Tiny Hut and Mage Hand the concluding function of the campaign is terrifyingly hard to complete.

2018-04-01,09:55 AM (ISO 8601)

My group will exist playing ToA presently and the party looks like this: rogue, 2 barbarians, monk, 1 undecided, and me. Larger party than I'g accustomed to, simply I've been playing back up in the past (lore bard, lite cleric). Non sure how to circular this party out. Suggestions? Oh, our DM usually has monsters spawn right on top of the states.

2018-04-01,06:57 PM (ISO 8601)

I'm going as a paladin. Smites, divine sense, and lay on hands are all great for an undead heavy entrada with no resurrections.

2018-04-03,ten:06 AM (ISO 8601)

I'one thousand going to exist running ToA after doing Sunless Citadel (the first take chances in Yawning Portal) every bit a shakedown for the fledgeling group.

I told them "roll what you want to play" and didn't tell them the adventure. Run what you brung, Dude!

Squad is:
Half-orc Barbarian
Elf druid
Homo paladin
Halfling bard
Dwarven (Life) Cleric
(For the almost part, we're going PHB simply.)

Not sure how they will do. Looking at the module, at that place is the option of making all the Death Saves DC fifteen instead of x. Considering instead starting at 10 and every few days raising it one point, to instill a sense of urgency. Is it rise because they are getting closer to the source? Or is this global because the source is getting more powerful?
Bwahahaha!!

Someone with the survival skill, and someone that can read ancient Omuen seem like the biggest contributors. Ranger with a background or race that gives a language would fill up both. Go Strongheart Hafling or Dwarf to become poision resist.
