New to DnD help my validate my spreadsheet.

I spent the last 2 days going insane learning how to build a proper DnD character with the help of hallucinating AI's. After figuring out having the default rulesets enabled causes major conflicts i think i worked out the kinks.

Untoggled everything except 5.5e and this is the final result. Is this a valid character and did i miss anything? I'll probably review my spells at a later time when i have regained my sanity.

I tried going for an optimal yet easy to play character as this is my introduction to actual DnD.

The lack of perception and deception is intentional lore wise. Much appreciated.

It looks valid to me. However, if you're looking for "optimal", you want Charisma to be your highest stat, which in 5.5e would mean choosing a different background.

You might also reconsider Chill Touch as one of your Magic Initiate cantrips. I say this because this character is going to be much better suited to ranged combat than up-close combat. If you really want a melee attack spell, consider Shocking Grasp instead; it prevents its target from making opportunity attacks for a bit, so it's useful as a "get me out of here" move, allowing you to do some damage while also moving safely away from the enemy.

You are probably aware of this now, but AI tools are not well-suited to this sort of thing since they are not capable of actually understanding the rules of D&D; you're much better off reading the rules and understanding them yourself.

Yeah, i'll definitely look into reviewing my spells at some point, just wanted to make sure i got the basics right, i got conflicting information about Chill Touch. I probably won't be taking any melee spells. As for the lack of CHA, i didn't want to be a noble. I need my dude to be lore accurate dammit! 

(Edit: ow wait now i'm hallucinating, i should've went with acolyte i guess?)

I wouldn't have been able to get this far without AI though and Claude is a surprisingly good DM if you want to practice basic game mechanics. He probably slipped up here and there but it helped me understand a bit more about how to start playing without wasting people's time.

Chill Touch was a ranged attack spell in 5e, and was changed to be a melee attack in 5.5e. That's probably the source of the confusion.

All I'll say about using an AI tool as a DM is what I said previously: it is by nature not capable of actually understanding the rules of D&D, so it is not a good tool for learning or practicing game mechanics.

Swapped Sage with Acolyte, optimized my stats and spells and cleaned up my inventory to remove the stuff i shouldn't have.

I think it's fully optimized and valid now 😂
