Thanks both of you (I hope @TheMinions@lemmy.world sees this answer directed at him, too) . You do seem to have a lot of fun with Prestidigitation^^ We have a kender bard and a highelf mage in the party, both very attuned to mockery, so I believe my GMs sanity might be endangered if the Fighter starts something like that as well^^
I do have an Intelligence of 14 mind you, I’m not dumb, just ugly (CHA 9)^^ I can use the echo as cover, but more cover is always better, right? even more so as it’s my duty to protect my spellcasting brother. He’s rather feeble but very smart - he can see through the cover that the goblins think is solid.
Something to think about.
These are great & specific suggestion, you’re awesome. Really like the battlefield map or message option which I would never have thought of. Superb fit for a military background.

sounds cool! My GM also gave me your consideration - I don’t profit from more attacks, which is true, but! I’m only using a longsword and shield, so I do D8s of damage, which is also how Booming Blade scales, so I’m “only” missing out on the +4 Strength Bonus (currently). Plus I intent to regularly make use of the extra damage Booming Blade gives by disengaging via echo. At least in my mind.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to be smarter than what you suggest (I can’t - I’m a noob), I just use the opportunity to check wether my plan would work in the first place.
I totally forgot to think about utilities, thanks. also the site is awesome, thanks for that as well. We have a kender bard and a highelf mage in the mix already, so I think they’ll be much better at creative magic use and I don’t want to “overdo” it (I heard magic in Dragonlance is rather rare). My Inteligence is 14 though, mind you.^^ It’s that dangerous middleground where you feel smarter than many (and like to show it), but aren’t anywhere near the really smart people. Roleplay potential yay!
I did not think of that, thanks. Prestidigitation sound really fun, but since we have a kender Bard and a Highelf mage in the party already, I believe there will be a great lot of magic shennanigans going on without me chipping in.
I’m a total noob without any knowledge other than the computer games mentioned. I also used some kind of character builder, not sure if from R20 or D&D beyond - which also had a limited list. I chose shield, which isn’t a good choice if you want your Bonus action for other stuff like being someplace else^^
I can see it now, thank you. Also, just for clarification, with Reclaim Potential, when your echo gets destroyed and you have 1 temp HP, you’re out of luck, right? the 2D6+CON won’t overwrite this (so you get those instead), right?
