Hi there, i would need your advice please. Here is my situation: - i am playing a firbolg - my stats: best STR, followed by CON, WIS, DEX - INT and CHA very low - we are wandering the underdark - at the moment i made 3 levels: 1 fighter, 2 ranger; i thought going with the gloom stalker, but no longer; mostly for the dark vision, but i came to the conclusion, its fun to have such an disadvantage; makes the underdark more special for me - our party: rogue, wizard and sun cleric; the last sessions showed i need to be in the front; mostly at the beginning of fights, i blocked the way with dodge, the others made the damage; i am fine with this, to be the protector; but i also would like to be more versatile
- so i thought, i could go with the battle master; sounds like fun, many interresting manuevers. What do you think of it? How many levels should i go with the battlemaster? or should i also get another ranger level? Thank you for tips, cheer Nokel
If you do pick gloom stalker and your party has darkvision, the other half of the umbral sight ability (invisible to creatures relying on darkvision) will probably have a greater or equal effect to the darkvision. This will make you less likely to get hit, more likely to hit others, and, unfortunately, less likely to be targeted by enemies.
If you go for battlemaster, you can improve your ability to control the battlefield, but it will delay acquiring extra attack.
If you're looking for other options, hunter would be a useful choice if you want to avoid picking up darkvision to keep things interesting.
