Whats your favorite version of D&D ?

AD&D ?

D&D3 ?

D&D5 ?

One of the subversions ?

And why do you like it best ?

I mean... Nothing stops you from multi-classing Rogue to get the exact same tools as your Barbarian build to do that exact thing.

Not that you need it, since you can reduce everything to 0 easily enough anyway (If it even hits you because Shield reactions)

Barbarian is an easy tank, because you can get a bunch of resistances level 3 with Bear Heart - Which can combo with stuff like Stallion or a popular choice is going Moon Druid to get Bear (And later Owlbear) form while Raging for extra health from the form plus all the resistances from Rage.

But Abjuration Wizard with Heavy Armour Mastery is the best tank, due to having the best mitigation (Especially if you hoard up magical items that grant uses of Abjuration spells for free Ward charges), especially when using Warding Bond to provide the resistances. Taking literally 0 damage from almost everything. It's just a little trickier because it doesn't come online properly until after Grymforge as Adamantine Plate is the first available heavy armour with damage reduction.

Not that such min-maxed things are necessary in the game, especially when you can have characters fully devoted to dealing damage that still are pretty tanky due to high AC's and utility spells (Shield, Counterspell, Darkness etc)

I was hoping to expand my gameplay by spawning in creatures to fight/test builds. Is there a way in the toolkit or console commads to do this?

Has anyone done the faith-leap trial recently ? My Shadowheart is standing in front of the final podium where the umbral gem should be. (No cheating, just walked all the way up there) but climbing on the podium blinds her and there's no umbral gem. Jumping on the podium kills her. Stepping east west or souh to try another entry point kills her.

I'm doing a shadowheart origin run, so I wanted to do this extremely stressful and annoying trial anyway. (I did it a couple of times long ago, but it was such a fun-killer that on subsequent PT's I only got the gem from Yurgir, avoideded the trials and used knock to open the door)

I don't have knock now but I'll cheat another way because as far as I can tell, this trial's broken.

I recently beat the game on Honor Mode for the 4th time, but with the level 13-20 mod, but I also ran the D&D PHB 2024 (now D&D 5.5E mod), and the mod that increases the number of enemies in encounters, and the random new encounters in the wild, along with the AIO equipment randomizer mod. (Along with a few appearance mods for your TAV).

I was level 18 as a party by end game, I didnt run the increased XP. The final fight was still hard, and the fight with Rapheal was a real challenge even at 17 at that time.
